Taylor & Francis Ltd The LifeCourse of Serious and Violent Youth Grown
Book SynopsisThe Life-Course of Serious and Violent Youth Grown Up addresses significant gaps in the literature on youth involved in chronic, serious, and violent offending. Through longitudinal research and a long follow-up into adulthood, it challenges common perceptions about offending outcomes. Using theoretically grounded, methodologically sophisticated and empirically driven research, this book culminates 20 years of data emerging from the Incarcerated Serious and Violent Young Offender Study (ISVYOS). Initiated in 1998 to understand the origins of serious and violent youth offending, it follows 1,719 formerly incarcerated youth through adulthood and offers a contemporary perspective to questions about chronic offending in adolescence and social and offending outcomes in adulthood. The authors provide a theoretically framed examination of new findings from the ISVYOS regarding participants' justice system involvement, from onset to persistence to desistanTrade Review"This book describes an outstandingly important longitudinal study of a large sample of incarcerated Canadian boys and girls. It is a brilliant contribution to developmental and life-course criminology, advancing knowledge especially about criminal career features, offending trajectories, the importance of psychopathy, and theories of desistance. It includes interesting case histories and draws policy implications. It should be read by all criminologists, psychologists, and social scientists who are interested in the development of criminal careers."David P. Farrington, Emeritus Professor of Psychological Criminology Cambridge University"This remarkable book tells the story of the spell-binding story of 1700 offenders followed from adolescence to mature adulthood in Canada’s Incarcerated Serious and Violent Young Offender Study. The science is terrific, and it’s careful. There are rich quantitative data and qualitative data. But unlike most criminology writing, the book doesn’t hide behind a fastidious over-focus on measurement, methodology, and theory. Instead, the book grapples up close and personal with the reality of chronic, serious, and violent offenders. It deals with factors typically omitted, such as foster care, drug addiction, gang membership, and custodial sentences. This book gets in there and gets it hands dirty. The result is eye-popping new information about where offenders come from and where they go when they grow older, and why. The book ends with a plea for criminology to look more at crime from the perspective of justice system professionals tasked with controlling it. I can’t recommend it too strongly, for students, researchers, and justice system professionals."Terrie E Moffitt, Nannerl O.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge International Handbook on Femicide and Feminicide
Book SynopsisThis volume explores in depth femicide and feminicide, bringing together our current knowledge on this phenomenon and its prevention.No country is free from femicide/feminicide, which represents the tip of the iceberg in male violence against women and girls.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Policing Mobility Regimes
Book SynopsisMore than 30 years after its birth, the Schengen area of free movement is under siege in Europe: new barriers are being erected along land borders, military assets are increasingly deployed to patrol the Mediterranean, while sophisticated surveillance tools are used to keep track of the flows of people crossing into European space.Bringing together perspectives from political geography, critical criminology and legal theory, Policing Mobility Regimes offers a systematic analysis of the impact that Frontex is having on migration control strategies at the EU level and offers a detailed empirical description of the agency's organization and operational activities. In addition, this book explores the meaning behind the attempt at developing a post-national border control strategy and what effect this might have on the geopolitics of Europe's borders. It contributes to the wider theoretical debate on the relationships among migration, security and the transformatiTrade Review"In a truly transdisciplinary feat, Campesi has mobilized the disciplines of international relations, European law, and the social sciences, to project an impressive light on the processes of construction of a new European Leviathan through the lens of FRONTEX, the new ‘European Border Agency’, for the first time scrutinized in all its many, and often peculiar, dimensions."Dario Melossi, Professor of Criminology, University of Bologna"This book is a must-read for anyone interpelled to critically engage and gain a better understanding of the complex multilevel border regimes in the European Union. Through the lenses of an in-depth study of the EU Frontex Agency, the book compellingly shows how emerging 'EU policing mobility regimes' feature inherent controversies affecting their legitimation. These relate to their intrinsic antinomies with the safeguarding of individuals' human dignity and democratic rule of law principles which lay at the roots of the EU constitutional framework."Sergio Carrera, Head of the Justice and Home Affairs Programme at CEPS "Since its establishment in 2005 Frontex has deeply reframed the management of European borders, orchestrating the operations of national and private actors within an emerging ‘post-national’ pattern. Giuseppe Campesi provides a brilliant and compelling analysis of such shift, focusing both on the agency itself and on the ensuing implications for matters of space, security, social stratification and hierarchies. A must-read for anyone interested in border, security, migration, and EU studies."Sandro Mezzadra, co-author of Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of LaborTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge International Handbook of Restorative
Book SynopsisThis up-to-date resource on restorative justice theory and practice is the literature's most comprehensive and authoritative review of original research in new and contested areas.Bringing together contributors from across a range of jurisdictions, disciplines and legal traditions, this edited collection provides a concise, but critical review of existing theory and practice in restorative justice. Authors identify key developments, theoretical arguments and new empirical evidence, evaluating their merits and demerits, before turning the reader's attention to further concerns informing and improving the future of restorative justice. Divided into four parts, the Handbook includes papers written by leading scholars on new theory, empirical evidence of implementation, critiques and the future of restorative justice.This companion is essential reading for scholars of restorative justice, criminology, social theory, psychology, law, human rights and criminal Trade Review'This international Handbook grounds itself in the present and past in order to look to the future. It sets for itself an important but challenging goal: to reflect the state of restorative justice in the early 21st century, including not only developments in theory and practice, but also its essential debates and challenges. This is an important collection for anyone who wants to understand and grapple with 21st century restorative justice.'Howard Zehr, Eastern Mennonite University, USA'This book is perhaps the most comprehensive and certainly the most up-to-date collection on restorative justice. It goes to some topics rarely addressed in earlier volumes … and embraces a wider range of critiques of restorative justice than most volumes on the subject … Furthermore, in its geographical coverage, this international Handbook is much broader than older collections … We are grateful to Theo Gavrielides for bringing so many voices into the conversation.

Restorative justice has grown from the radical, abstract vision of 30 years ago into a fully fledged field of study and practice, worthy of this important international handbook.'Shadd Maruna, author of Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives'This book offers thoughtful and varied approaches to reconciliation and community resilience. As readers, we see that inclusive approaches to justice--involving loved ones, community support systems, and cultural context--offer real hope for renewal and personal peace. This book challenges the punitive aspects of the current criminal justice system, to be sure, but also offers practical tools for transformative leaders to nurture restoration, reformation, and healing.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Limits of Criminological Positivism
Book SynopsisThe Limits of Criminological Positivism: The Movement for Criminal Law Reform in the West, 1870-1940 presents the first major study of the limits of criminological positivism in the West and establishes the subject as a field of interest.The volume will explore those limits and bring to life the resulting doctrinal, procedural, and institutional compromises of the early twentieth century that might be said to have defined modern criminal justice administration. The book examines the topic not only in North America and western Europe, with essays on Italy, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Finland but also the reception and implementation of positivist ideas in Brazil. In doing so, it explores three comparative elements: (1) the differing national experiences within the civil law world; (2) differences and similarities between civil law and common law regimes; and (3) some differences between the two leading common-law countriesTrade Review'This is an immensely rich and engaging collection addressing a decisive moment in the development of criminal law and justice. Each of the chapters provides a close and careful account of the limits of criminological positivism – political, social, practical, and institutional as well as intellectual – in a particular context, and the themes evident across the collection are expertly drawn out in Michele Pifferi’s Introduction. This book is a substantial addition to the scholarly field and deserves to be read widely.'- Arlie Loughan, Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Law Theory at the University of Sydney Law School'This book is impressive, in terms of its scholarship, the histories it presents, and in terms of its breath, through time and across geographic boundaries. The book provides an analysis of positivist criminology and uniquely it situates this analysis within a, to draw on the words of one of the contributing author’s, very wide ideological, chronological and geographical context. The chapters variously explore histories of positivist criminology in Britain, Spain, France, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Brazil and America. To have access to all of these histories of criminological positivism in one book is quite extraordinary. To have all of this in book chapters of such quality in terms of scholarship, and in terms of story-telling, even more so. Each chapter stands alone as a critical analysis of some aspect of historical criminological positivism, while at the same time providing an intriguing story situating its history within relevant political, social, juridical and academic as well as individual and personal frameworks. As a collection, it represents a key contribution to historiography. As well as providing us with these detailed histories, the book provides insight into the research and the ongoing challenges in the work of historians and archivists. Above all, the book provides us with fresh insights into as well as a reminder of an important framework, that of criminological positivism, within which to view and critically review the scientific development of criminology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.'-Dr. Christina Quinlan, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Social Justice and Director of the Institute for Research in Criminology, Community, Education and Social Justice'This is an immensely rich and engaging collection addressing a decisive moment in the development of criminal law and justice.

The volume examines the interaction between each stage of the criminal justice process and autistic individuals accused or convicted of crime, considering the problems, strengths and possibilities for improving the system to better accommodate the needs of this vulnerable category of neurodiverse individuals. By explicating the core issues in this important but disparate area of study in a single place, the collection facilitates understanding of and engagement with knowledge for a wider audience of relevant stakeholders, including criminal justice practitioners, policy makers, academics and clinicians. It also incorporates key recommendations for improvement, thereby clarifying the urgent need for substantive change in policies and practices.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology
Book SynopsisOriginally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescueâresearch that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionalsâ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective.Features:â Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators â Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples â Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a psychological autopsyIn his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport and Crime
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to explore fully the connections between sport studies and criminology, opening up critical new frontiers in the study of sport and crime.Rooted firmly in established critical criminological traditions, the book also employs insights from emerging theoretical frameworks such as cultural criminology, governmentality theory and critical security studies to make better sense of a range of transnational and contemporary cases, events and trends that reveal, in different ways, the crimes and harms that are present in sport. Empirically grounded, including case studies of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, it explores emerging themes in contemporary sport, including but not limited to corruption, doping, youth crime, terrorism, violence and transgression, and human rights abuses. Sport and Crime consciously pushes the boundaries of what might be considered the critical criminology of sport.This is an essential text forTable of Contents1. Introduction, 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ransomware and Cybercrime
Book SynopsisIn May 2021, Jim Gosler, known as the Godfather and commander of US agenciesâ cyber offensive capability, said, ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt, or the Internet would eat us alive.'' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced.Over the last two decades, what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless, nameless, state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary, ill-protected, and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led, all in the name of security.This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events, including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation, particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic, to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online.There is little to no attribution, and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks, they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones, of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life, our economies, and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We needâno, we must demandâchange. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals.Table of ContentsForeword.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The MisRepresentation of Queer Lives in True
Book SynopsisThis book examines the representation and misrepresentation of queer people in true crime, addressing their status as both victims and perpetrators in actual crime, as well as how the media portrays them.The chapters apply an intersectional perspective in examining criminal cases involving LGBTQ people, as well as the true crime media content surrounding the cases. The book illuminates how sexual orientation, gender, race, and other social locations impact the treatment of queer people in the criminal legal system and the mass media. Each chapter describes one or more high-profile criminal cases involving queer people (e.g., the murders of Brandon Teena and Kitty Genovese; serial killer Aileen Wuornos; the Pulse nightclub mass shooting). The authors examine how the cases are portrayed in the media via news, films, podcasts, documentaries, books, social media, and more.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Making of a Police Officer
Book SynopsisDoes a more academic type of police education produce new police officers that are reluctant to patrol the streets? What is the impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police students' career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project, following police students in seven European countries. The unique data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics relevant to the future development of policing, police education and police science more generally. Part I presents an overview of the different goals and models of police education in the seven participating countries. Part II describes what type of student is attracted to police education, taking into consideration educational background, political orientation and career aspirations. Part III shows the social impact of police education by examining students' orientations towards emerging competence areas; students'Trade ReviewThe international and comparative research on police education and training described in this book offers fundamental empirical insights regarding an aspect of vital concern in police studies. Researchers and policy makers alike will find in this volume a wealth of information and detail that will provide insights into career entry and early professional socialization into the police organization in seven European countries. Original research of this kind practically demonstrates the important contribution of independent academic research on the public understanding of police institutions.James Sheptycki, Professor of Criminology, York University, CanadaThe book answers important questions about how to recruit and train police, and ways to nurture healthy perspectives among officers and launch successful careers in law enforcement. Sweeping across seven regions of the northern hemisphere, the research behind these findings and recommendations promises to be applicable to a broad variety of policing traditions. There is nothing else like it.Wesley G. Skogan, Professor of Political Science, Institute for Policy Research, Northwestern University, USAThis book is an eye-opener for all those engaged in policing. The authors address the broader issues related to police recruitment, education and its academisation. Debunking widespread myths, they add essential nuances to its complexity and offer a research agenda for the future. Marleen Easton, Professor Governing & Policing Security, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Ghent UniversityHow can we ‘make’ police officers? What we need is a consistent democratic approach from recruitment to further education. But how can we neither produce Dirty Harrys nor Legalists? How can we implement the right philosophy of policing into police students? This study by a European group of police scholars provides us with substantial data and interpretation.

Taylor & Francis Capital Punishment and British Politics
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1962, Capital Punishment and British Politics illuminates the process of political decision-making in Britain by analysing the complex activities that led to the passage of a major piece of social legislation, the Homicide Act of 1957. His case study, based on dozens of interviews, reveals in detail the workings of British politics and assesses the impact of the clash of ideas and interests on governmental policy. After surveying the legal and historical antecedents of the controversy surrounding the Act, the author traces the development from the abortive attempt to abolish the death penalty under the Labour Government through the spectacular murder cases of the early fifties to the compromise legislation successfully launched by a Conservative Government. Throughout the book analysis is coupled with description, and the concluding chapter demonstrates how this single case contained in microcosm many of the basic elements and dilemmas of the British politi

Taylor & Francis Blackmail
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 1975 Blackmail: Publicity and Secrecy in Everyday Life examines why blackmail is often taken more seriously than murder and why it is widely considered as a serious social threat. Both fictional and real-life situations are used to explore the kinds of social situation in which various individuals become vulnerable to blackmail. In isolating the key ingredients of reputational blackmail in Britain over the last hundred years, this book is not preoccupied with threats to accuse someone of a major criminal offence such as murder or armed robbery, but rather with those cases where the penalties of discovery are less clear-cut and where public reaction may be much more ambivalent. Mike Hepworth focuses attention on the way blackmail is stigmatized in criminological and other literature and the possible validity of the stereotype in the light of alternative interpretations. This book is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of criminology and sociolog

Taylor & Francis Ltd Apologies from Death Row
Book SynopsisApologies from Death Row explores the notion of remorse, apologies, and forgiveness within the context of capital punishment in the United States, through the final words of offenders on death row, and the covictims' responses to them in their statements to the press after witnessing the execution. The book demonstrates that there is evidence that some offenders on death row are truly remorseful and that some of the family members of their victims could benefit from this remorse, but that this is unlikely in the current system of capital punishment. Drawing from the fields of criminology, psychology, and sociology, the book begins with a theoretically informed introduction to the concepts of remorse and forgiveness, followed by an exploration of apology and forgiveness specifically in the context of capital punishment. It discusses how some initiatives within the criminal justice system, such as apology laws and restorative justice programmes, are being used tTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Biosocial Criminology
Book SynopsisBiosocial criminologists seek to explain crime (and related anti-social behaviour) by exploring both biological and environmental factors. Combining perspectives from mainstream Criminology and Sociology, with contributions from those working in disciplines such as Genetics, Neuropsychology, and Evolutionary Psychology, Biosocial Criminology is now a well-establishedâif heterogeneous and contentiousâfield of study. As Biosocial Criminology continues to develop, this new title from Routledge, edited by two distinguished scholars, meets the need for an authoritative, one-stop reference work to make sense of the wide range of approaches, theories, and concepts that have contributed to its growth.In four volumes, the collection assembles the best and most influential empirical, theoretical, and political contributions made by biosocial criminologists from around the world. The gathered works cover not only the history of Biosocial Criminology and cutting-edge theories, but also explore a variety of research methods used by leading scholars and the rich data generated by their rigorous empirical work.With a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Biosocial Criminology is an essential work of reference. The collection will be particularly useful as a database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiarâand sometimes overlookedâtexts. For researchers, students, and policy-makers, it is an essential one-stop research and pedagogic resource.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime II
Book SynopsisA new title from Routledge, Crime II is an essential successor to the editorâs earlier collection, published to acclaim in 2002.Beanâs Crime (978-0-415-25264-5) (2002) was the first comprehensive anthology of the fieldâs canonical and cutting-edge research, and this new four-volume assembly of major works now takes full account of the many important developments that have taken place since its appearance. For example, in many jurisdictions, crime prevention has become a more dominant theme. The reduction in crime rates, alongside a similar fall in the extent of drug abuse, has also required a reappraisal of many earlier theories of the links with crime and selected social factors. Crime II reflects these and other changes, as well as anticipating those not yet fully formulated in the academy.With a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Crime II is an indispensable work of reference. Alongside its predecessor, it is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and researchers as a vital research resource.* * *Philip Bean is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the University of Loughborough, and was formerly Director of the Midlands Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice. He was president of the British Society of Criminology (1996 to 1999) and from 2000 to 2006 he was an Associate of the General Medical Council.

Taylor & Francis The Freedom Fighter A Terrorists Own Story
Book SynopsisThe ability of terrorist groups to inflict death and destruction has markedly increased with technological advances in the areas of communication, transportation, and weapon capability. Using these new tools and networks, terrorists now seek to inflict mass casualties worldwide. Given these realities, it is essential to research the factors that underlie a terrorist groupâs origins, grievances, and demands. Such insights might help others respond more effectively to insurgencies, especially when military campaigns to capture or kill every terrorist have proven unsuccessful.The Freedom Fighter: A Terroristâs Own Story explores why so many Kurdish peopleâespecially young adultsâjoin the Kurdistan Workersâ Party (PKK) and conduct terrorist acts. Inspired by the ground-breaking classic, The Jack-Roller: A Delinquent Boyâs Own Story, by Clifford R. Shaw, the author explores the issue of radicalization into terrorist organizations through the life-history method, enabling a PKK terroristâor âœfreedom fighterââto tell his story. Over a five-month period, the author interviewed âœDeniz,â a high-level PKK terrorist in a Turkish prison, who during his time in the PKK rose from the lowest level to near the top in terms of terrorist operations.This riveting life history, told in Denizâs own words, provides unique insights into why someone becomes a âœfreedom fighterâ and what such a life entails. The account provides extensive information on the PKK, including the groupâs recruitment, ideological and military training, armed strategies, internal structures and code of ethics, treatment of women, and goals for peace. Denizâs story not only explains why more Kurdish âœfreedom fightersâ will be recruited to engage in terrorist acts, but also facilitates understanding of how âœnormal peopleâ can become involved in conflict and organizations that are designated as âœterrorist groups.â A foreword by renowned criminologist Francis T. Cullen helps contextualize the material. This book will interest students of criminology, terrorism/counterterrorism, political violence, and security.Table of ContentsForeword by Francis T.

Serving as the only New Zealandspecific criminal justice text, this book takes a direct look at what is unique about the country's criminal justice system and recent crime trends. Crime rates peaked in the early 1990s and have fallen since.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Figuring Victims in International Criminal
Book SynopsisMost discourses on victims in international criminal justice take the subject of victims for granted, as an identity and category existing exogenously to the judicial process. This book takes a different approach. Through a close reading of the institutional practices of one particular court, it demonstrates how court practices produce the subjectivity of the victim, a subjectivity that is profoundly of law and endogenous to the enterprise of international criminal justice. Furthermore, by situating these figurations within the larger aspirations of the court, the book shows how victims have come to constitute and represent the link between international criminal law and the enterprise of transitional justice. The book takes as its primary example the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), or the Khmer Rouge Tribunal as it is also called. Focusing on the representation of victims in crimes against humanity, victim participation and photographic images, the book engTable of ContentsTable of Contents Preface Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction: The Victim’s Address Chapter One: The Establishment of a Court Chapter Two: The Khmer Rouge Marriages and the Victims of Crime Chapter Three: Becoming Participant: Victim Representations at Trial Chapter Four: Photographs and Outreach: Relating Victims to Images Conclusion: Moving Forward Through Justice Bibliography Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Comparative Criminal Justice and Globalization
Book SynopsisIn this exciting and topical collection, leading scholars discuss the implications of globalisation for the fields of comparative criminology and criminal justice. How far does it still make sense to distinguish nation states, for example in comparing prison rates? Is globalisation best treated as an inevitable trend or as an interactive process? How can globalisation''s effects on space and borders be conceptualised? How does it help to create norms and exceptions? The editor, David Nelken, is a Distinguished Scholar of the American Sociological Association, a recipient of the Sellin-Glueck award of the American Society of Criminology, and an Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences, UK. He teaches a course on Comparative Criminal Justice as Visiting Professor in Criminology at Oxford University''s Centre of Criminology.Trade Review'Comparative Criminal Justice and Globalization imaginatively juxtaposes work by leading contemporary scholars of two usually separate subjects. Editor David Nelken's incisive, nuanced opening and closing essays provide analytical and conceptual frameworks that will shape understanding, and future research and writing, for years to come.' Michael Tonry, University of Minnesota, USA 'Globalization represents the next horizon for comparative studies of crime and justice, posing new theoretical and practical challenges but also opening up exciting opportunities for methodological innovation, policy interventions and disciplinary renewal. The contributors to this volume, all household names in the field, explore the implications of globalization for criminality, policing, criminal process and penality, and in so doing help us to understand contemporary social realities and glimpse criminology’s possible futures.' Paul Roberts, University of Nottingham, UK and University of New South Wales, Australia 'This book [...] demonstrates that comparative and global criminology can not only add cohesion and urgency to criminology as a whole, but it can also serve as a bridge to other related disciplines.'

Taylor & Francis The Art of Investigation
Book SynopsisThe Art of Investigation examines the qualities required to be a professional, thorough, and effective investigator. As the title suggests, it delves into more than the steps and procedures involved in managing an investigation, it also covers the soft skills necessary to effectively direct investigations and intuit along the way. The editors and contributing authors are the best in their field, and bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience to the subject. There are several publications available on the nuts-and-bolts of the process and stages of an investigation. That ground has been covered. However, little has been published on the investigative skills required, the traits necessary, and the qualities endemic to an inquisitive mind that can be cultivated to improve an investigatorâs professional skill-set.Each chapter discusses the applicability of the traits to the contributorâs own work and experience as an investigator. In doing so, the contributorsTrade Review"The Art of Investigation will help the fledging detective learn the skills to observe and solve, and the experienced detective to fine tune those skills.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime and Crime Reduction
Book SynopsisThe problems associated with groups that commit crime are well known and notoriously complex. However, there are many questions that we still cannot answer with certainty. This book seeks to deepen understanding of the group processes involved in crime and the treatment of offenders' thoughts and behaviour. Together, the chapters in this volume address the following questions: Are people more likely to commit crime because of the influence of their group? Does group membership cause people to become criminals, or does the group merely foster people's pre-existing criminal inclinations? How does group membership exert such a strong hold on people so that some risk imprisonment or even death, rather than relinquish their membership? The contributors to Crime and Crime Reduction consider the social psychological influences of groups and specific forms of group crime such as street and prison gangs, terrorism, organized criminal networksTrade ReviewMost people agree that crime is a bad thing and that rather less of it would be a good thing. At a time when a great deal of psychology research has retreated to the biological interior, it is refreshing to see this excellent text put social psychology to work in the cause of crime reduction. - Clive Hollin, Professor of Criminological Psychology, School of Psychology, University of Leicester, UKMost people agree that crime is a bad thing and that rather less of it would be a good thing.
