Victims of Violence and Restorative Practices
Restorative justice occupies an important place in criminological literature and criminal justice policies and is about facilitating communication between victims, offenders and communities in search of conciliation. Research shows that victims of crime are generally highly satisfied with their participation in a restorative intervention, such as victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing and victim-offender encounters. In order to maintain good restorative practice, the reasons why restorative justice is appreciated need to be clearly understood. In this book, Tinneke Van Camp identifies and explores the factors that contribute to victims’ appreciation of restorative practices i...
Urban History Writing in North-Western Europe (15th-16th Centuries)
This volume aims at taking the first steps towards a revaluation of urban historiography in Northwest Europe, including rather than excluding texts that do not fit common definitions. It confronts examples from the Low Countries to well-studied cases abroad, in order to develop new approaches to urban historiography in general. In the authors' view, there are no fixed textual formats, social or political categories, or material forms that exclusively define 'the urban chronicle'. Urban historiography in pre-modern Western Europe came in many guises, from the dry and modest historical notes in a guild register, to the elaborate heraldic images in a luxury manuscript made on commission for a p...

The design and building processes at cepezed are also integrated: the use of prefab components and the application of industrial building methods guarantee an optimum alignment of design and realization, in which time, quality, and costs are meticulously planned and controlled.

Max Tailleur
`Ik lach om niet te huilen. In het naoorlogse Nederland was Max Tailleur verreweg de beroemdste vertolker van de Joodse humor. Zijn grote doorbraak kwam in 1952 met de opening van zijn legendarische cabaretclub De Doofpot, waar hij Jiddische moppen vertelde en de vooroorlogse Amsterdamse gein koesterde. Alles om het gemis van de in de oorlog omgekomen familieleden te verdringen. De rijkdom die Tailleurs vergaarde met zijn boeken, platen en de Geinlijn, noch zijn talloze verhoudingen met mooie dames bleken een remedie tegen de geestelijke en fysieke pijn die hem langzaam maar zeker sloopten. `Het was een lijdensweg met veel applaus.
