Experimental criminology is a part of a larger and increasingly expanding scientific research and evidence-based movement in social policy. The essays in this volume report on new and innovative contributions that experimental criminology is making to basic scientific knowledge and public policy. Contributors explore cutting-edge experimental and quasi-experimental methods and their application to important and topical issues in criminology and criminal justice, including neurological predictors of violence, peer influence on delinquency, routine activities and capable guardianship, early childhood prevention programs, hot spots policing, and correctional treatment for juvenile and adult offenders. It is the first book to examine the full scope of experimental criminology, from experimental tests - in the field and in the laboratory - of criminological theories and concepts to experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations of crime prevention and criminal justice interventions.
The Future of Criminology takes stock of the major advances and developments that have taken place in the past several decades and asks where the field of criminology is headed.

This handbook brings together the international research focussing on prisoners’ families and the impact of imprisonment on them. Under-researched and under-theorised in the realm of scholarship on imprisonment, this handbook encompasses a broad range of original, interdisciplinary and cross-national research. This volume includes the experiences of those from countries often unrepresented in the prisoner’s families’ literature such as Russia, Australia, Israel and Canada. This broad coverage allows readers to consider how prisoners’ families are affected by imprisonment in countries embracing very different penal philosophies; ranging from the hyper-incarceration being experienced i...
For the American criminal justice system, 1975 was a watershed year. Offender rehabilitation and individualized sentencing fell from favor. The partisan politics of “law and order” took over. Among the results four decades later are the world’s harshest punishments and highest imprisonment rate. Policymakers’ interest in what science could tell them plummeted just when scientific work on crime, recidivism, and the justice system began to blossom. Some policy areas—sentencing, gun violence, drugs, youth violence—became evidence-free zones. In others—developmental crime prevention, policing, recidivism studies, evidence mattered. Crime and Justice in America: 1975-2025 tells how ...

Le droit pénal de l'entreprise, entre 2020 et 2021, a donné lieu à plusieurs arrêts de principe du Tribunal fédéral portant sur des questions d'actualité. Mais cette période a également été marquée par l'aboutissement ou l'initiation d'importantes modifications législatives. Un thème qui s'est particulièrement illustré au cours de ces derniers mois est celui de la communication de soupçons de blanchiment d'argent au MROS, au regard des conséquences pénales encourues en cas de violation. Cette question fait notamment écho au droit pénal administratif, une matière dans le cadre de laquelle la nature juridique de la responsabilité encourue par l'entreprise continue à fai...
Die abschreckende oder stigmatisierende Wirkung strafrechtlicher Sozialkontrolle ist regelmäßig Gegenstand kriminalpolitischer Debatten. Gleichwohl ist das Delinquenz steigernde oder reduzierende Potential strafrechtlicher Interventionen in Deutschland bisher nicht ausreichend empirisch erforscht. Die Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen formeller Sozialkontrolle durch Polizei und Justiz bei Jugendlichen und Heranwachsenden. Mit drei kausalen Erklärungsmodellen werden justizielle Stigmatisierungs- und Abschreckungseffekte in diesen kriminologisch besonders bedeutsamen Alterszeiträumen analysiert. Durch die gemeinsame Verwendung von selbstberichteten Dunkelfeldinformationen und behördliche...

Il 28 aprile 2011 una bomba esplode al caffè Argana di Marrakech. Seduti a un tavolino ci sono quattro giovani della Svizzera italiana; solo una di loro sopravvivrà. Dopo dieci anni di silenzio, Morena Pedruzzi (Faido, Svizzera, 1984) prende la parola e racconta la sua storia: la storia di com’è andata in frammenti e di come si è rimessa insieme.
