Victim Policies and Criminal Justice on the Road to Restorative Justice
This edited volume contains 22 papers organized into three sections under the following headings: part I is entitled On Promoting Victim Policies; Part II On Reforming Criminal Justice; and Part III On Restorative Justice. All three areas are ones to which Tony Peters, former Professor of Criminology in Leuven, has made a significant contribution and for which he is known as an international authority.

Welfare Policy from Below
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.
The Routledge Handbook of European Criminology
This new book brings together some of the leading criminologists across Europe, to showcase the best of European criminology. This Handbook aims to reflect the range and depth of current work in Europe, and to counterbalance the impact of the – sometimes insular and ethnocentric – Anglo-American criminological tradition. The end-product is a collection of twenty-eight chapters illustrating a truly comparative and interdisciplinary European criminology. The editors have assembled a cast of leading voices to reflect on differences and commonalities, elaborate on theoretically grounded comparisons and reflect on emerging themes in criminology in Europe. After the editors’ introduction, th...
Ludic Ubuntu Ethics
Ludic Ubuntu Ethics develops a positive peace vision, taking a bold look at African and Indigenous justice practices and proposes new relational justice models. ‘Ubuntu’ signifies shared humanity, presenting us a sociocentric perspective of life that is immensely helpful in rethinking the relation of offender and victim. In this book, Nagel introduces a new theoretical liberation model—ludic Ubuntu ethics—to showcase five different justice conceptions through a psychosocial lens, allowing for a contrasting analysis of negative Ubuntu (eg., through shaming and separation) towards positive Ubuntu (eg., mediation, healing circles, and practices that no longer rely on punishment). Provid...
Balancing Privacy and Free Speech
In an age of smartphones, Facebook and YouTube, privacy may seem to be a norm of the past. This book addresses ethical and legal questions that arise when media technologies are used to give individuals unwanted attention. Drawing from a broad range of cases within the US, UK, Australia, Europe, and elsewhere, Mark Tunick asks whether privacy interests can ever be weightier than society’s interest in free speech and access to information. Taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, and drawing on the work of political theorist Jeremy Waldron concerning toleration, the book argues that we can still have a legitimate interest in controlling the extent to which information about us i...
O Crime de Burla
O escopo da presente investigação centra-se na interpretação do tipo objectivo do crime de burla do Código Penal português. Pretende dar-se um contributo para a resolução de alguns problemas levantados logo ao nível da conduta típica. Na primeira parte, procede-se à identificação do bem jurídico tutelado, ao tratamento do conceito jurídico-penal de património. E a algumas considerações a propósito do acto de disposição da vítima como momento determinante da consumação do crime. Na segunda parte, estuda-se com maior profundidade o engano como conduta típica, incluindo os modelos de outros ordenamentos jurídicos. Optando-se por um modelo objectivo dentro da teoria da imputação objectiva, adopta-se uma posição quanto ao erro como elemento normativo, quanto aos factos como objecto do engano e quanto aos critérios de relevância típica do engano a partir da imputação dos factos às esferas de responsabilidade da vítima e do agente.
The Routledge International Handbook of Penal Abolition
The Routledge International Handbook of Penal Abolition provides an authoritative and comprehensive look at the latest developments in the 21st-century penal abolitionism movement, both reflecting on key critical thought and setting the agenda for local and global abolitionist ideas and interventions over the coming decade. Penal abolitionists question the legitimacy of criminal law, policing, courts, prisons and more broadly the idea of punishment, to argue that rather than effectively handling or solving social problems, interpersonal disputes, conflicts and harms, they actually increase individual and societal problems. The Routledge International Handbook of Penal Abolition is organized ...
Razones y sinrazones para una criminología feminista
Este libro habla de la falta de empatía que la criminología convencional ha mostrado hacia las mujeres como sujetos de delito. Ignoradas, cuando no deformadas bajo una mirada interesadamente sexista, ellas han permanecido al margen de la evolución de las ideas acerca de la criminalidad y su definición, como seres natural y socialmente conformes. Concebido el delito como masculino, su desviación tenía que ser interpretada como signo de una anormalidad individual, fruto de disfunciones y patologías propias de su sexo, o de una socialización frustrada en los roles normativos de género destinados a asegurar su vinculación al espacio privado y a los dictados de una domesticidad y una pa...
