Las cárceles en el Perú
El ámbito carcelario constituye un objeto poco estudiado por la academia, a pesar de su importancia para la consolidación de la democracia y los derechos humanos en el Perú y América Latina. Esta publicación busca sistematizar los avances que vienen realizando diferentes investigadores sobre las cárceles en el Perú, desde el derecho, la criminología, la antropología, la teología, la sociología, la historia, las ciencias políticas y la psicología.
Antropologías carcelarias
El libro aborda el encierro desde diversas perspectivas, con contribuciones de especialistas de varios países. Se destaca la situación de poblaciones intracarcelarias, que comparten características similares: color, clase, grupo étnico, edad, nivel educativo y tipo de delito. Se evidencia la violencia y condiciones deplorables en las cárceles, afectando la dignidad de los presos. Se sugiere el uso de métodos etnográficos para comprender profundamente estas problemáticas. Además, se señala la existencia de grupos especiales de reclusos y el impacto del encierro en sus familias, ofreciendo una visión panorámica desde la antropología.
Derecho penitenciario
Este libro aborda los principios, conceptos y principales instituciones del derecho penitenciario desde una perspectiva jurídica y criminológica. Además, se discute algunos temas y retos de nuestro sistema penitenciario: los fines y materialización de la pena privativa de libertad mediante del tratamiento penitenciario o la concesión de beneficios, alternativas a la prisión, la «gobernanza» en la gestión penitenciaria, etc.
Prison in Peru
This book expands the field of prison research by drawing on six months of unique, ethnographic research in Santa Monica prison, the largest women’s prison in Lima, Peru. Using feminist and decolonial perspectives, it explores power and the governance system and its implications on how the prison operates and the lived experiences of women prisoners and their interpersonal relationships. It reflects on the intersection of prison, imprisonment and gender from a Global South perspective and includes methodological reflections on how to research prisons in the Global South holistically. It fills a gap and engages with debates on governmentality and women’s agency within the penal context.
Prisons and Crime in Latin America
Rather than reducing criminality, prisons in Latin America drive crime by creating the conditions for its growth.
Mafias on the Move
Organized crime is spreading like a global virus as mobs take advantage of open borders to establish local franchises at will. This book argues that mafiosi often find themselves abroad against their will, rather than through a strategic plan to colonizethe territories.
Cybercrime, Organized Crime, and Societal Responses
This timely book provides contributions on international, comparative crime phenomena: gangs, trafficking, fear of crime, and crime prevention. It highlights contributions originally prepared for the XVII World Congress of Criminology and for the 2015 Cybercrime Conference in Oñati, Spain which have been selected, reviewed, and adapted for inclusion in this volume. The work features international contributors sharing the latest research and approaches from a variety of global regions. The first part examines the impact of gangs on criminal activities and violence. The second part explores illegal trafficking of people, drugs, and other illicit goods as a global phenomenon, aided by the ease of international travel, funds transfer, and communication. Finally, international approaches to crime detection prevention are presented. The work provides case studies and fieldwork that will be relevant across a variety of disciplines and a rich resource for future research. This work is relevant for researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as international and comparative law, public policy, and public health.
The Social Order of the Underworld
This book challenges the widely held view that inmates create prison gangs to promote racism and violence. On the contrary, gangs form to create order. Most people assume that violent inmates left to themselves will descend into a chaotic anarchy, but that's not necessarily the case. This book studies the hidden order of the prison underworld to understand how order arises among outlaws. It uses economics to explore the secret world of the convict culture, inmate hierarchy, and prison gang politics. Inmates engaged in illegal activity cannot rely entirely on state-based governance institutions, such as courts of law and the police, to create order. Correctional officers will not resolve a di...
