20 years of Criminology at the NICC
This book marks the 20th anniversary of the Department of Criminology of the National Institute of Criminalistics and Criminology (NICC). On the occasion of this anniversary, a series of research seminars were organised, during which NICC researchers, practitioners and international experts engaged in a dialogue on several key research themes. They discussed the future of the Department of Criminology and put the work of the NICC into perspective, both nationally and internationally. The results of these exchanges are bundled in this book.
Foreign offenders in prison and on probation in Europe
Is there really an over-representation of foreign citizens in European prisons? Is the presence of foreign inmates comparable across regions and countries of Europe? How can one explain the differences in the trends shown by the absolute numbers and the percentages of foreign inmates from 2005 to 2015? Do foreign citizens have less access than nationals to alternatives to imprisonment? Do the data available allow researchers to establish whether the growth in the use of community sanctions and measures since the 1990s plays a role in the fluctuations observed in the percentage of foreign inmates? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in this book, which compiles and updates a series of specific indicators collected over 11 years through the Council of Europe Annual Penal Statistics (better known as the SPACE statistics), and accompanies the two volumes on prisons in Europe 2005-2015 in this collection. This volume includes maps and tables illustrating the state of prison (2005-2015) and probation agencies (2009-2015). In addition, the situation is analysed through individual country profiles, which include key facts and graphs covering the years 2005-2015.
Structural Injustice and Workers' Rights
When discussing exploitation in workplaces, governments typically deploy a rhetoric of personal responsibility: they place attention on employers who take advantage of workers, or on workers who choose non-standard, precarious work arrangements. On this account, the responsibility of the state is to address the harm inflicted by private actors. This book questions that approach and develops the concept of 'state-mediated structural injustice at work': a phenomenon which manifests when legislation that has an appearance of legitimacy, in fact has very damaging effects for large numbers of people and results in structures of exploitation at work. Using a series of examples such as migrant work...
Prisons in Europe 2005-2015
How many inmates are held in European prisons? Among them, how many are women? How many are foreign citizens? How many are not serving a final sentence? How many people enter prison every year, and how long do they remain there? Are there enough places for all of them? What is the ratio of inmates per member of prison staff? How much do prisons cost? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in this volume, which compiles and updates 11 years of the Council of Europe Annual Penal Statistics, better known as the SPACE statistics. The situation in each country is analysed through individual country profiles, which include key facts and graphs covering the years 2005-2015. In addition, a comparative section allows for analysis of the relative position of each country with regard to the other member states of the Council of Europe and of the European Union. This is accompanied by a methodological section, which sets out the main problems related to this type of comparison.
Sick and Elderly Political Prisoners in Erdogan's Turkey - Special Report
140 pages comprehensive special report on sick and elderly political prisoners in Erdogan's Turkey and grave human rights violations. The jails in Turkey have long been mentioned in the same breath as inhumane actions and the breach of even the most basic rights, especially against the political prisoners. The violations have reached to unprecedented levels in parallel with the emergence of the current political-Islamist authoritarianism. The oppressive regime under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s rule instrumentalized the country’s legal system to muzzle the political dissidence, turning the prisons into concentration camps. The number of inmates behind the bars has reached historic highs. Hosting convicts much more than their capacities, the prisons, which were already substantially subpar, have fallen way below the minimum acceptable standards for human dignity. Patients in particular bore the most of the brunt of this precipitated deterioration of the prison conditions and the wrath of the Turkish regime against its opponents.
Unlocking Learning
"How can people involved in carceral interventions learn from work in carceral settings outside the United States? This volume addresses this question by gathering international perspectives to the field of education in prison that could inform carceral interventions elsewhere, including in the United States"--
Reformas penales en la península ibérica: A «jangada de pedra»?
La Asociación Internacional de Derecho Penal (AIDP) fue fundada en París el 14 de marzo de 1924. Es el resultado de una reorganización de la Unión Internacional de Derecho Penal (UIDP), fundada en Viena en 1889 por tres eminentes penalistas: Franz Von Liszt, Gérard Van Hamel y Adolphe Prins, que se disolvió al terminar la primera guerra mundial. La AIDP constituye la más antigua organización mundial que reúne especialistas de las ciencias penales y una de las sociedades culturales más antiguas del mundo. Desde 1924 la AIDP ha adquirido en sus ámbitos de competencia un estatus especial entre las otras organizaciones y entre la doctrina, los expertos, las autoridades gubernamentales...
Crime and Justice, Volume 51
Volume 51 is a thematic volume on Prisons and Prisoners. Since 1979, the Crime and Justice series has presented a review of the latest international research, providing expertise to enhance the work of sociologists, psychologists, criminal lawyers, justice scholars, and political scientists.

Gewalt in Haft
Diese repräsentative Dunkelfelderhebung zu Gewalterfahrungen im österreichischen Strafvollzug untersucht, wie oft, durch wen und mit welchen Folgen Inhaftierte Opfer psychischer, körperlicher und sexueller Gewalt werden. Die Studie erhebt zudem die Wahrnehmung des Klimas und der Anhaltebedingungen. Sie zeigt, dass - neben dem Schutz besonders vulnerabler Gruppen - die Veränderung struktureller Bedingungen notwendig ist, denn fehlende Beschäftigung, Überbelag und langer Einschluss erhöhen das Gewaltniveau. Der Fähigkeit des Personals, respektvoll zu kommunizieren, Regeln fair durchzusetzen und professionelle Arbeitsbeziehungen aufzubauen, kommt dabei eine Schlüsselrolle zu.
