The German Congress on Crime Prevention (GCOCP) is an annual event that takes place since 1995 in different German cities and targets all areas of crime prevention. Since its foundation the GCOCP has been open to an international audience with a growing number of non-German speaking participants joining. To give the international guests their own discussion forum, the Annual International Forum (AIF) within the GCOCP was established in 2007. For international guests this event offers lectures in English language as well as other activities within the GCOCP that are translated simultaneously. This book reflects the outcomes of the 12th AIF (11 and 12 June 2018 in Dresden) and of the International Conference on Prevention of Violence and Extremism – PV&E (8 and 9 November 2018 in Eschborn). The articles show worldwide views on crime prevention and criminal policy with a focus on the topic of violence and radicalism as well as the current status, discussion, research and projects in crime prevention from different countries.
Wie lässt sich das Abgleiten junger Menschen in den Rechtsextremismus verhindern? Der Ansatz der aufsuchenden Distanzierungsarbeit zielt auf die Sensibilisierung für potenzielle Einstiegsgefährdungen und Handlungssicherheit im Umgang mit starken Vorurteilen ab. Dieses hochaktuelle Grundlagenwerk beschreibt Distanzierungsarbeit als pädagogische Querschnittsaufgabe, analysiert diskriminierendes Verhalten und leitet zur Initiierung von Distanzierungsprozessen an. So wird die Planung strategischer Maßnahmen bei verhärteter Menschenfeindlichkeit ermöglicht. Praktische Kompetenzen werden mithilfe eines Methodenkoffers vermittelt.

In this book, Doris Penka delivers a cross-linguistic, unified analysis of the semantics and syntax of negative indefinites, as in the expressions nobody, nothing, no (as determiner), never and nowhere and their counterparts in other languages. While it is standard to assume that negative indefinites behave like negative quantifiers, the author argues that these expressions are not inherently negative and are only licensed by a covert negation.In an analysis motivated by three phenomena found in the structure and semantics of negative indefinites in different languages - namely negative concord (in which multiple occurrences of negative constituents express a single negation), split readings (in which negative and indefinite parts take scope independently of each other), and the limited distribution of negative indefinites in Scandinavian languages - Doris Penka considers data from a wide range of languages and reviews the mostrecent literature on the semantics and syntax of negative indefinites. Her book will interest all linguists working on negation in particular and the syntax-semantics interface more generally.
Stories both practical and inspirational about environmental leadership on campus. These personal narratives of greening college campuses offer inspiration, motivation, and practical advice. Written by faculty, staff, administrators, and a student, from varying perspectives and reflecting divergent experiences, these stories also map the growing strength of a national movement toward environmental responsibility on campus.Environmental awareness on college and university campuses began with the celebratory consciousness-raising of Earth Day, 1970. Since then environmental action on campus has been both global (in research and policy formation) and local (in efforts to make specific environme...
