Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport Physical Activity and Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the various ways in which participation in sport and physical activity might contribute to effective solutions within criminal justice systems.Focusing on a range of different sporting and physical activities across an array of social contexts involving both adult and youth populations, the book offers insight into the way in which sport and physical activity is interpreted by participants and practitioners, and how these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives within and across justice systems. It focuses on a series of key issues, including how sport policy (national and international) has developed in recent years in this area; how and to what extent such policy developments have impacted organisations and interventions (both custodial and non-custodial) across sport and criminal justice systems and sectors; and how participant cohorts (such as disadvantaged and/or at-risk' young people) have experienced these changes.With shiftTable of ContentsIntroduction: Sport, Physical Activity, and Criminal Justice; Part I: Policy and Strategic Responses; 1.

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?

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 covictimsâ 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 to make it easier for offenders to apologize to their victims. Offenders on death row are considered, addressing why they might or might not apologize, and whether they are even capable of showing true remorse. The book then considers the family members of their victims (covictims), addressing whether they benefit from hearing the offender express remorse and witnessing the execution, and whether forgiveness is possible in this context. Evidence to support the arguments presented in the book come from the offendersâ final words and the covictimsâ responses to them in their statements to the press. The book dispels two common myths about the death penalty. First, it shows that offenders on death row are not simply monsters who are incapable of understanding the severity of their crimes. Second, it provides evidence that, despite the popular belief that the death penalty is necessary in order to provide closure for the victimsâ family members, it may actually have the opposite effect. The family membersâ statements to the press after witnessing the execution contain more negative themes like anger and disappointment than positive themes like closure and peace. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications this has for systems of justice in general, and how a better understanding of the emotional state of offenders can help both victims and offenders. Apologies from Death Row will be of great interest to students and scholars of Criminology, Psychology, and Sociology.

Taylor & Francis The Use of Algorithms in Criminal Law
Book SynopsisThis edited collection provides the reader with a comprehensive knowledge of automated decision-making, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithms, and how they can be used in criminal proceedings. Focusing on the experience in Central and Eastern European countries, the book offers a clear overview of the advantages and disadvantages of new technologies in criminal law. After a primer on how AI can be used in law enforcement to enhance operational effectiveness and improve public safety, chapters offer a comprehensive look at the current status of the use of new technologies in the criminal law of the Central and Eastern European countries. When appropriate, contributors formulate concrete postulates for the change of the current legal regulations as well as offer advice on how to use such technologies to oneâs advantage or how to defend against their abuse by public authorities. Navigating the intersection of technology and criminal justice, this book is invaluable for anyone with an interest in whether and how computers will shape the fate of criminal suspects and the operation of criminal justice systems. It is essential reading for scholars and students of comparative criminal justice, criminology, sociology, politics, and socio-legal studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime Law and Justice in New Zealand
Book SynopsisCrime, Law and Justice in New Zealand examines the recent crime trends and the social, political, and legal changes in New Zealand from the end of the twentieth century to the present. 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. Newbold considers why this happened through factors such as economy, ethnic composition, changing cultural trends, and legislative developments in policing and criminal justice. He unpacks various types of crime separatelyviolent crime, property crime, drug crime, gang crime, organised crime, etc.and examines each in terms of the various complex factors affecting it, using illustrative examples from recent high-profile cases. The cover photo for Crime, Law and Justice in New Zealand was taken by Jono Rotman.Trade ReviewMany New Zealanders have their own theories on crime, its causes, andsolutions, generally based on a limited understanding of the complexitiesof the topic. Greg Newbold's detailed research complements his innatepersonal knowledge of the criminal world, and provides the reader withmaterial which can only improve the quality of debate on this fascinatingsubject.Greg O'Connor, President, New Zealand Police AssociationTable of Contents1.
