The Many Faces of Youth Crime
This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the second International Self-Report Delinquency study (ISRD-2). An earlier volume, Juvenile Delinquency in Europe and Beyond (Springer, 2010) focused mainly on the findings with regard to delinquency, victimization and substance use in each of the individual participating ISRD-2 countries. The Many Faces of Youth Crime is based on analysis of the merged data set and has a number of unique features: The analyses are based on an unusually large number of respondents (about 67,000 7th, 8th and 9th graders) collected by researchers from 31 countries; It includes reports on the characteristics, experiences and behaviour of first and ...
The Great American Crime Decline
Many theories--from the routine to the bizarre--have been offered up to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. Was it record levels of imprisonment? An abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic? More police using better tactics? Or even the effects of legalized abortion? And what can we expect from crime rates in the future? Franklin E. Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance. The major lesson from the 1990s is that relatively superficial changes in the character of urban life can be associated with up to 75% drops in the crime rate. Crime can drop even if there is no major change in the population, the economy ...
Atlas przestępczości w Polsce 6
Celowość, a wręcz potrzeba opublikowania kolejnej, szóstej już, edycji Atlasu przestępczości w Polsce pozostaje poza sporem. Zwłaszcza w dzisiejszych trudnych czasach istnieje konieczność merytorycznej oceny nasilenia, struktury i dynamiki zjawisk patologicznych, w tym zwłaszcza przestępczych. Warunkuje to bowiem wypracowanie skuteczniejszych strategii przeciwdziałania tym zjawiskom ze strony państwa, a jednocześnie może przyczynić się do kształtowania właściwych postawy obywateli. […] Jestem przekonany, iż spełni się intencja Autorów co do tego, ze Atlas przestępczości w Polsce 6 okaże się inspirującą lekturą oraz cennym źródłem wiedzy o zjawiskach nie d...
A Global Perspective on Young People as Offenders and Victims
This Brief presents the first major release of findings from the Third International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD3). ISRD is a major international research collaboration that now covers some 35 countries. It surveys young people aged 12 to 16 in their schools, asking about their experience of crime – both as offenders and as victims – and about their attitudes to crime and justice and about their home and school life. ISRD1 was carried out in 1991-1992 and ISRD2 in 2006-2008. ISRD findings presented here cover the 27 ISRD3 countries for which data are already available, with a total sample approaching 63,000 young people. For most of these countries, the samples are drawn from two...
Howard Gardner
In this paper, John White examines Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences in human beings. The author asks if there is good evidence that the nine types of intelligence that Gardner identified exist, or if they are, indeed, a myth.
