Criminality and Criminal Justice in Contemporary Poland
Criminality has accompanied social life from the outset. It has appeared at every stage of the development of every community, regardless of organisation, form of government or period in history. This work presents the views of criminologists from Central Europe on the phenomenon of criminality as a component of social and political reality. Despite the far advanced homogenisation of culture and the coming together of the countries that make up the European Union, criminality is not easily captured by statistics and simple comparisons. There can be huge variation not only on crime reporting systems and information on convicts but also on definitions of the same crimes and their formulations ...
Crime and Transition in Central and Eastern Europe
Full-scale political change affects every level of a society, but perhaps nowhere as strikingly as in the areas of crime policy and law enforcement. Over the past two decades, the European nations that have moved from totalitarianism toward democracy have come to embody this trend, yet reliable sources on crime and law enforcement in these countries have not been readily accessible to the West. Representing viewpoints seldom available to outsiders, the contributors to Crime and Transition in Central and Eastern Europe analyze changes in criminal activities and crime control strategies in the region, explain the political background underlying these developments, and assess their long-term so...
Immigration and the Transformation of Europe
A uniquely comprehensive analysis of the nature of immigration and migration within and between European and non-European countries. It explains how Europeans are beginning to grapple with immigration as it relates to demographic, institutional, economic, social, political and policy issues.
Common Culture and the Ideology of Difference in Medieval and Contemporary Poland
Teresa Pac provides a much-needed contribution to the discussion on shared culture as foundational to societal survival. Through the examination of common culture as a process in medieval Kraków, Poznań, and Lublin, Pac challenges the ideology of difference—institutional, religious, ethnic, and nationalistic. Similarly, Pac maintains, twenty-first century Polish leaders utilize anachronistic approaches in the invention of Polish Catholic identity to counteract the country’s increasing ethnic and religious diversity. As in the medieval period, contemporary Polish political and social elites subscribe to the European Union’s ideology of difference, legitimized by a European Christian heritage, and its intended basis for discrimination against non-Christians and non-white individuals under the auspices of democratic values and minority rights, among which Muslims are a significant target.

Po co nam kryminologia?
We Wstępie redaktorzy napisali: „Tytuł książki […] nie jest przypadkowy. Pytanie o sens i istotę badań kryminologicznych nieustająco towarzyszy Profesor Irenie Rzeplińskiej w Jej pracy naukowo-badawczej i edukacyjnej. Jako uczniowie, współpracownicy i przyjaciele Pani Profesor słyszeliśmy je nieraz – zadawane podczas zebrań Zakładu Kryminologii I NP PAN, zmuszające nas wielokrotnie do próby udzielenia na nie odpowiedzi, a także do zastanowienia się, jaki jest cel prowadzonych przez nas badań empirycznych czy rozważań teoretycznych, tj. do czego powinny nas one doprowadzić. Zbiór tekstów zamieszczonych w książce świadczy o tym, że wiele osób fascynujących się kryminologią również nurtuje pytanie o sens pracy naukowo-badawczej. Zebrane artykuły dostarczają interesujących odpowiedzi na to – na pozór – proste pytanie. Mamy nadzieję, że niniejsza książka wpisze się w kanon literatury kryminologicznej i pomoże czytelnikom otworzyć nowe horyzonty myślenia o przestępczości, jej zapobieganiu i kontrolowaniu.”
Mobilities, Social Change and Crime
This book presents a synthesis of selected trends in the dynamics and structure of crime in Poland over the past 30 years, in the context of ongoing social transformations in the wider region. The book explores the impact of the deep systemic transformation of the late 1980s and early 1990s on the phenomenon of crime, its structure and dynamics, and the policy of its control in the following decades. It also examines the impact of changes resulting from the dynamic development of Polish society in the 21st century in the context of global changes towards the emergence of a new form of collective life, a mobile information society based on modern technologies. The focus is primarily on those ...
