Book Synopsis Prison Gangs Behind Bars and Beyond by : Dev Rup Maitra
Download or read book Prison Gangs Behind Bars and Beyond written by Dev Rup Maitra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on a four-year ethnographic study conducted in the prisons and on the streets of Greater Manchester, England, to examine gangs and organised crime in the North of England. It includes the personal testimonies of active prison gang members and major organised crime figures, many of whom are behind bars, and some active street gang members. It presents an holistic account by exploring the linkages that exist between prisons and the streets, including the lines of continuity between gangs on both sides of the prison walls and how gang affiliation straddles this divide. It offers data on the region’s drug market (specifically Class A drugs) as this market is the lynchpin of the underworld, both within and without prison. It also includes the perspectives and insights of prison officers, police detectives, youth workers, active and former street gang members and the parents of deceased gang members. This is a ground-breaking, contemporary study, analysing English gang compositions and activities, with its findings and results based on qualitative interviews and ethnographic research.

Book Synopsis White Collar Crime and Risk by : Nic Ryder
Download or read book White Collar Crime and Risk written by Nic Ryder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection provides an innovative and detailed analysis of the relationship between the financial crisis, risk and corruption. A large majority of the published research has concentrated on identifying the traditional factors that contributed towards the largest financial crisis since the Wall Street Crash and subsequent Great Depression. This original volume contests this, and provides the alternative view that white collar crime was also an underappreciated, and important factor. Divided into five parts: bribery and corruption; financial crime; market manipulation; technology and white collar crime; and the financial crisis, and based on contributions by a wide range of experts in the field, this book will be of great interest to policy makers and practitioners, researchers and students alike.
Book Synopsis The Social Order of the Underworld by : David Skarbek
Download or read book The Social Order of the Underworld written by David Skarbek and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think of prison gangs, they think of chaotic bands of violent, racist thugs. Few people think of gangs as sophisticated organizations (often with elaborate written constitutions) that regulate the prison black market, adjudicate conflicts, and strategically balance the competing demands of inmates, gang members, and correctional officers. Yet as David Skarbek argues, gangs form to create order among outlaws, producing alternative governance institutions to facilitate illegal activity. He uses economics to explore the secret world of the convict culture, inmate hierarchy, and prison gang politics, and to explain why prison gangs form, how formal institutions affect them, and why they have a powerful influence over crime even beyond prison walls. The ramifications of his findings extend far beyond the seemingly irrational and often tragic society of captives. They also illuminate how social and political order can emerge in conditions where the traditional institutions of governance do not exist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locked up for Life: America's Most Powerful Gangs Behind Prison Bars Prison gangs in America were formed for protection. Their main goal just like other fraternal groups was to be protected and respected inside the prison where most prison gangs originated. These gangs are highly organized. Their powerbase is usually outside the prison where new members are being recruited by their street gang members. Each member's common objective is to reach the status of the prison gang with which they can show their ultimate commitment. There are times when a prison gang outgrows the penitentiary life to take on some unlawful acts outside. There are others which are being transplanted from the street. But one distinct characteristic of a prison gang is they are highly race-oriented. There are at least 3 main racial gangs in continental America namely: Hispanic, Black and White Supremacist...In America, 90 percent of vicious crimes in other jurisdiction and 48 percent in jurisdiction areas account for gang activities. Some gang-related incidents include: white collar crimes such as fraud, identity theft and counterfeiting; prostitution, drug trafficking, gambling, human trafficking, and arms trafficking. Although they are known for being notorious criminals, prison gangs pose a latent benefit for the police officers inside the prison. They are responsible for the discipline of their members which helps reduce internal conflicts and violence despite the strong tension. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... Hispanic Prison Gangs Black Prison Gangs Caucasian or White Supremacist Much, much more! Purchase your copy today!

Book Synopsis Criminal Justice, Risk and the Revolt against Uncertainty by : John Pratt
Download or read book Criminal Justice, Risk and the Revolt against Uncertainty written by John Pratt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact and implications of the relationship between risk and criminal justice in advanced liberal democracies, in the context of the ‘revolt against uncertainty’ which has underpinned the rise of populist politics across these societies in recent years. It asks what impact the demands for more certainty and security, and the insistence that national identity be reasserted, will have on criminal law and penal policy. Drawing upon contributions made at a symposium held at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in November 2018, this edited collection also discusses the way in which risk has come to inform sentencing practices, broader criminal justice processes and the critical issues associated with this. It also examines the growth and making of new ‘risky populations’ and the harnessing of risk-prevention logics, techniques and mechanisms which have inflated the influence of risk on criminal justice.
