Book Synopsis Global Criminology and Criminal Justice by : Nick Larsen
Download or read book Global Criminology and Criminal Justice written by Nick Larsen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword by Piers Beirne, University of Maine: "Because our world in the new millennium differs so profoundly from the twentieth-century one inhabited by Durkheim, recognition of this overwhelming difference is one of several organizing principles employed by editors Nick Larsen and Russell Smandych. As they rightly stress, a comparative approach to the understanding of crime and justice cannot properly capture the full complexity of globalization at the dawn of the twenty-first century. We need a global criminology now!" Global Criminology and Criminal Justice brings together 22 articles that constitute some of the most important recent literature in the field. Theory and research is situated within a broader discussion of the historical shift over the past three decades from comparative and international, to global criminology.
Book Synopsis Issues in Policing by : Andrew Karmen

Book excerpt: Issues in Policing: Investigating Current Controversies explores a variety of contemporary challenges within the field of policing, from racial tensions between police departments and their communities to affirmative action in police staffing to debates over the militarization of the police. The text is organized into 11 chapters with each critically investigating a particular aspect of policing. The opening chapter provides readers with a contextual foundation by discussing the relevance of sociology and criminology in understanding street crime as a social problem and policing as a possible solution. Additional chapters introduce a critical view of policing and discuss a variety of salient, relevant topics, including the movement to defend civil liberties and enhance police accountability, diversifying the force, disputes surrounding funding, trends in solution rates, and controversies erupting over officer-involved shootings. Issues in Policing provides a comprehensive overview of the sociological aspects of policing, including the historical context of major changes, critical perspectives, social conflicts, and policy debates. It is an ideal textbook for programs in law enforcement and criminal justice, especially courses about police and society that address current challenges and calls for reform and reimagining public safety.
Book Synopsis Law, Insecurity and Risk Control by : John Pratt
Download or read book Law, Insecurity and Risk Control written by John Pratt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines our contemporary preoccupation with risk and how criminal law and punishment have been transformed as a result of these anxieties. It adopts an historical approach to examine the development of risk control measures used across the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada - particularly since the 1980’s - with the rise of the "security sanction". It also takes a criminological and sociological approach to analysing shifts in criminal law and punishment and its implications for contemporary society and criminal justice systems. Law, Insecurity and Risk Control analyses the range and scope of the ‘security sanction’ and its immobilizing measures, ranging from control over minor incivilities to the most serious crimes. Despite these innovations, though, it argues that our anxieties about risk have become so extensive that the "security sanction" is no longer sufficient to provide social stability and cohesion. As a consequence, people have been attracted to the ‘magic’ of populism in a revolt against mainstream politics and organisations of government, as with the EU referendum in the UK and the US presidential election of Donald Trump in 2016. While there have been political manoeuvrings to rein back risk and place new controls on it, these have only brought further disillusionment, insecurity and anxiety. This book argues that the "security sanction" is likely to become more deeply embedded in the criminal justice systems of these societies, as new risks to both the well-being of individuals and the nation state are identified.
Book Synopsis Radical Issues in Criminology by : Pat Carlen
Download or read book Radical Issues in Criminology written by Pat Carlen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1980 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays deals with central issues relating to the rule of law, individual rights and the politics of penal reform. The issues examined include juvenile justice, criminal violence, feminism and criminology, civil liberties, police powers, justice in prisons and the necessity for social life to be regulated by law. The emphasis throughout is upon specific concrete problems and the formulation of possible solutions. In marked contrast to many radical criminologists, who have fashioned utopian visions of a socialist society untroubled by problems of social regulation, each contributor to this book focuses sharply upon tangible problems and workable alternatives. By eschewing global theories of either crime or law, and by avoiding generalized "radical" recipes for change, these essays provide an important counter-balance to recent libertarian, anarchistic and utopian trends in modern criminology.
