Outlaw Bikers as Organized Crime

Autor: Arjan Blokland , Klaus Von Lampe , Sjoukje Van Deuren

Número de Páginas: 262

The title of this volume Outlaw Bikers as Organized Crime reluctantly combines two highly contested concepts into a statement that is perhaps disputed even more. Who and what do we refer to when we talk about ‘outlaw bikers’ and ‘outlaw biker clubs’? What is meant by ‘organized crime’? And, how – if at all – are these two concepts related? All the chapters in this volume deal with these questions some way or the other, either explicitly or implicitly, each providing its own answers based on the data and methods at hand. This volume presents cutting-edge research on outlaw bikers and outlaw biker clubs from countries all over the globe and reflects the different ways that academic researchers have approached the outlaw biker phenomenon from the theoretical and methodological vantage point of organized crime research.

Gender and Multiculturalism

Autor: Amanda Gouws , Daiva Stasiulis

Número de Páginas: 269

Multiculturalism is a concept that has been stretched to include a variety of political conditions, mainly in countries that have liberal democratic political systems and traditions. In this North/South ‘comparison’ we illuminate remedies pursued by governments and various political interests to address the binary. Tensions of culture and rights may not be the same everywhere. An interesting point of comparison is in the treatment of liberalism – often assumed in the global North to be the universal norms to be defended, whereas in the global South, liberalism itself may be viewed as the problem. Colonial histories are fraught with discriminatory legislation aimed at accommodating indigenous populations, often a trade-off for more structural redistributive justice through, for example, land reform. In Africa, for example, the codification of customary law has reinforced misogynistic and static interpretations of ‘African culture’. This book will show how varied and complex the embodiment of multiculturalism as a political practice, or policy discourse in different political contexts can be, and how often the outcome of multicultural discourses creates a binary between...

Caribbean Crime and Criminal Justice

Autor: Katharina Joosen , Corin Bailey

Número de Páginas: 347

Despite high crime rates among men in the Caribbean, rising rates of violence against women in the region, and a significant number of Caribbean nationals incarcerated abroad due to drug smuggling, existing research has yet to offer explanations that are tailored to the unique Caribbean societies and the individuals in them. This edited volume adds to the existing body of scientific, empirical and theoretical work on crime (victimization), and criminal justice in the Caribbean, with a specific focus on impacts of post-colonialism and gender. To investigate these impacts on a developing Caribbean criminology, the contributions in this volume focus on how impacts of post-colonialism, associated racial stereotypes, and/or gender throughout the Caribbean impact on (a) types of offending, (b) victimization, and (c) criminal justice system responses and policies. Bringing together a broad range of experts, this book sheds light on key criminological topics in the Caribbean, including victimization, risk factors for offending, subcultures of violence and particularly gendered violence, and the role of motherhood within matrifocal societies. It is essential reading for those engaged with...

Technology-led Policing

Autor: Evelien De Pauw , Paul Ponsaers , Kees Van Der Vijver , Willy Bruggeman , Piet Deelman

Número de Páginas: 304

Technology has always played an important role in the performance of police tasks. In recent years, that role has not only expanded, but has also been renewed. On one hand, technology plays a role in supporting policing (closed-circuit television, scanning equipment, technical methods of detection, etc.). On the other hand, new technology offers opportunities to commit crime, particularly in the sphere of information technology which requires constant adjustments of the police in their investigation methods. The use of technology raises many interesting questions. There are important privacy issues. There are also consequences of investing in technology. Additionally, are police investigations keeping sufficiently up-to-date with technological developments, including advances in computer technology as well as strong developments in the sphere of natural science? This book - originally a volume of the Journal of Police Studies - examines the concerns and necessity for technology in poli

Environmental Crime and its Victims

Autor: Toine Spapens , Rob White , Marieke Kluin

Número de Páginas: 377

Environmental crime is one of the most profitable and fastest growing areas of international criminal activity. These types of crime, however, do not always produce an immediate consequence, and the harm may be diffused. As such, the complexity of victimization - in terms of time, space, impact, and who or what is victimized - is one of the reasons why governments and the enforcement community have trouble in finding suitable and effective responses. This book provides a diverse and provocative array of arguments, critiques and recommendations from leading researchers and scholars in the field of green criminology. The chapters are divided into three main sections: the first part deals with specific characteristics of some of the major types of environmental crime and its perpetrators; the second focuses explicitly on the problem of victimization in cases of environmental crime; and the third addresses the question of how to tackle this problem. Discussing these topics from the point of view of green criminological theory, sociology, law enforcement, community wellbeing, environmental activism and victimology, this book will be of great interest to all those concerned about crime...

The Palgrave International Handbook of Animal Abuse Studies

Autor: Jennifer Maher , Harriet Pierpoint , Piers Beirne

Número de Páginas: 545

This Handbook fills a large gap in current scholarly literature on animal abuse studies. It moves considerably beyond the debate that has traditionally dominated the discourse of animal abuse – the link between one-on-one interpersonal violence and animal abuse – and towards those institutionalised forms of animal abuse which are routine, everyday, socially acceptable and invisibilised. Chapters from expert contributors raise issues such as: the use of animals as edibles; vivisection; animal sexual assault; animals used in sport and hunting; animal trafficking; the use of animals by youth gangs, by other groups and in war; species extinction; and the passivity of national and international organisations in combating animal abuse. The Handbook is a unique text: it is essential reading for students, researchers, academics, activists and policy makers involved in understanding and preventing animal abuse.

Welfare Policy from Below

Autor: Arno Pilgram

Número de Páginas: 225

Available in paperback for the first time, Welfare Policy from Below is the most comprehensive study available of social exclusion in contemporary Europe. Invigorating and informative, the book puts forward a new form of 'social exclusion knowledge', based on an innovative conceptual and theoretical framework and a comparative empirical study of eight European cities. The case studies - encompassing research in Germany, Austria, the UK, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain - focus on a range of problems associated with exclusion. Issues such as poverty, housing, work, migration, gender equality and the family are considered in the context of different European welfare regimes, providing insights into the experiences of ordinary people facing exclusionary challenges. The distinguished contributors argue that social security and welfare must provide the infrastructure for the coping strategies of those at risk of exclusion. Featuring a substantive new preface which includes contemporary discussions in European welfare policy, Welfare Policy from Below will be invaluable to policy-makers as well as academic researchers.

Ehrbezogene Gewalt in der türkisch patriarchalischen Diaspora in Deutschland im Fokus der institutionellen Netzwerkarbeit

Autor: Anna Vernaleken

Número de Páginas: 54

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Geschlechterstudien / Gender Studies, Note: 1,3/1,7, Fachhochschule Erfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: [...] Gegenstand meiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit ist die vorherrschende ehrbezogene Gewalt der türkisch patriarchalischen Diaspora in Deutschland und die Notwendigkeit der Verbesserung der institutionellen Netzwerkarbeit. Mein Interesse, für das allgemein bezeichnete Thema Ehrenmord, entstand im Verlauf und durch Diskussionen in meinem Studium in Modulen wie „Migration und Integration“, „Gender“ und „Institutionelle und politische Bedingungen“. Außerdem erweiterte sich mein Interesse im Speziellen durch eine Exkursion nach Berlin im Rahmen des Moduls „Institutionelle und politische Bedingungen“ bei Frau Professor Dr. Cillie Rentmeister - ermöglicht durch Frau Katrin Göring-Eckardt im Sommer 2011. Hier kam es zu Begegnungen mit den Organisationen/Institutionen MadonnaMädchenkult.Ur e. V. und Der Polizeipräsident in Berlin, Direktion 5 - Zentrale Aufgaben, AGIM - Arbeitsgruppe Migration und Integration. Es entwickelten sich Gespräche und Diskussionen sowie - im Speziellen für mich - die Option zu einem...
