Although Europe has a significant legal data protection framework, built up around EU Directive 95/46/EC and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the question of whether data protection and its legal framework are ‘in good health’ is increasingly being posed. Advanced technologies raise fundamental issues regarding key concepts of data protection. Falling storage prices, increasing chips performance, the fact that technology is becoming increasingly embedded and ubiquitous, the convergence of technologies and other technological developments are broadening the scope and possibilities of applications rapidly. Society however, is also changing, affecting the privacy and data protection lands...
In Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry Meins G.S. Coetsier offers a new account of Karl Rahner’s theological anthropology and the prison pastorate with a contemporary expansion for meaning, seeking an antidote to the suffering of those incarcerated with a “theology of empowerment.”
This book provides new insights into police cooperation from a comparative socio-legal perspective. It presents a broad analysis of comparable police cooperation strategies in two systems: the EU and Australia. The evolution of regulatory trends and cooperation models is analysed for both systems and possible transferable strategies identified. Drawing on interviews with practitioners in the EU and Australia this book highlights a number of areas where the EU can be compared to a federal system and addresses the advantages and disadvantages of being a Union or a federation of states with a view to police cooperation practice. Particular topics addressed are the evolution of legal frameworks regulating police cooperation, informal cooperation strategies, Joint Investigation Teams, Europol and regional cooperation. These instruments foster police cooperation, but could be improved with a view to cooperation practice by learning from regulatory techniques and practitioner experiences of the respective other system.
From the end of World War II to the 1970s, neo-Nazis and other fascist groups relied heavily on rituals and symbols borrowed from the Third Reich. Goodrick-Clarke argues that in response to an ascendant globalization and neo-liberalism, European and American neo-Nazi ideology significantly changed in character, finding inspiration in Aryan cults, aristocratic paganism, anti-Semitic demonology, Eastern religion, and the occult, resulting in a new quasi-mysticism typified by the use of the symbol of the Black Sun as a mystical source of energy capable of regenerating the so-called "Aryan" race. He explores the growth and development of the religious ideology of the movement focusing on such neo-Nazi philosophers as Wilhelm Landig, the popularizer of new volkisch movements; Julio Evola, who incorporates Hindu caste hierarchy ideas into his doctrine of a Gnostic-Manichaean "Esoteric Hitlerism"; theorists of Nazi- Satanism; and a number of others.

This volume fills this gap by examining the many ways in which political parties, the business world, foreign policymakers, and the intelligence community experienced, confronted, and even actively contributed to domestic and transnational forms of dissent.
Why have some Western democracies turned toward tougher law and order policies whereas others have not? Based on quantitative analyses and case studies of four countries, The Partisan Politics of Law and Order demonstrates that the configuration of party systems and institutional context play a key role in the development of law and order policies.
Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS, by Amy Carney, is the first work to significantly assess the role of SS men as husbands and fathers. These families contributed to the transformation of the SS into a racially-elite family community that was poised to serve as the new aristocracy of the Third Reich.
