Victim-Offender Mediation with Youth Offenders in Europe
This book documents the state of the art on Victim-Offender Mediation with youth offenders in 15 European nations (Austria, Belgium, England and Wales, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden). It provides an up-do date review of current theory and practice and presents a critical discussion of problems and benefits which may help guide future policy decisions and applications. The book informs both those who are interested in evaluating the current state of affairs of Victim-Offender Mediation with youth offenders in Europe, and those who would like to promote Victim-Offender Mediation in their own countries. The common format used in each chapter facilitates comparison across countries. Per country, five areas of investigation are explored and discussed: norms and legislation allowing for the implementation of victim-offender mediation programmes; values and theoretical frameworks of victim-offender mediation; organizational structure of victim-offender mediation services; professional characteristics of mediators; benefits, potential problems, and criticisms of current practice.
Release from Prison
Release from prison is matter of increasing interest throughout Europe. On the one hand, arguments about the need to reduce prison numbers, as well the consistent findings that prisoners can be integrated into society more effectively if they are subject to a period of supervision in the community, have made early release policies attractive to governments and to academic commentators. On the other hand, there are concerns that early release may not be applied fairly to all prisoners. This book aims to meet the need for comparative information on release from prison across Europe and explores some of the key themes and issues. The body of the book focuses on country perspectives, providing an invaluable survey of the situation in a number of European countries. The introductory and concluding chapters place the comparative material in a broader perspective. They explain how release policy is related to wider questions about justice and fairness in prison-related decision-making and the changing place of imprisonment in European society.
HOLODECK architects works
Analytical thinking and holistic concepts Low-tech buildings with strong architectural identities Selected works from 25 years of international architectural practice HOLODECK architects work on a wide variety of projects, from urban development to exhibitions. Their impressive body of work is proof that sophisticated architecture need not ignore ecological and social issues. The latter are consciously reflected from concept to realization. For example, HOLODECK have developed strategic solutions as alternatives to single-family homes, apply a sensitive approach to existing structures, and design buildings that make consistent use of natural conditions such as passive solar energy, airflow, cross-ventilation, and natural lighting. This volume also reinterprets the typical architecture book. It consists of two separate yet connected parts; the first presents sketches, plans, studies and models, while the second features texts and lavish photo series.
Life Imprisonment
Life imprisonment has replaced capital punishment as the most common sentence imposed for heinous crimes worldwide. As a consequence, it has become the leading issue in international criminal justice reform. In the first global survey of prisoners serving life terms, Dirk van Zyl Smit and Catherine Appleton argue for a human rights–based reappraisal of this exceptionally harsh punishment. The authors estimate that nearly half a million people face life behind bars, and the number is growing as jurisdictions both abolish death sentences and impose life sentences more freely for crimes that would never have attracted capital punishment. Life Imprisonment explores this trend through systemati...
Exklusion in der Marktgesellschaft
Daniela Klimke Also aber rathe ich euch, meine Freunde: misstraut Allen, in welchen der Trieb, zu strafen, mächtig ist! Das ist Volk schlechter Art und Abkunft; aus ihren Gesichtern blickt der Henker und der Spürhund. Friedrich Nietzsche Die deutschen Bibliotheken weisen nunmehr eine stattliche Anzahl von gut achtzig Büchern auf, die mit dem Begriff ‚Exklusion’ im Titel um ihre Leser werben, gut viermal so viele be- beiten das Thema der neueren politisch-ökonomischen Verhältnisse unter den Stichworten ‚Neoliberalismus’ und ‚Marktgesellschaft’. Wozu also noch ein weiterer Band? Hinter dieser Frage mag die Kritik stehen, sich nicht auf der Höhe der Zeit zu befinden und sich stattdessen in romantischer Erinnerung an die kurze Epoche wohlfahrtsstaatlicher Inklusion dem neoli- ralen Treiben mit skandalisierenden Konzepten entgegenstemmen zu wollen. Auch manche achselzuckende Reaktion kann diesem Buch gewiss sein, wenn etwa entgegen gehalten wird, Ausschluss habe es schließlich immer schon gegeben und die volle Integration sei nur ein - dachter Idealzustand gewesen.

National Reconviction Statistics and Studies in Europe = Nationale Rückfallstatistiken und -untersuchungen in Europa
Recidivism belongs to the main categories of criminology, crime policy and criminal justice. If the target of preventing offenders from reoffending is taken seriously crime policy should be measured by success of certain penal sanctions in terms of relapses. Also institutions that deal directly with crime and offenders need to get basic information on the consequences of their actions; particularly general knowledge about offender groups at risk of reoffending. All these are reasons why representative recidivism studies are needed. Meanwhile a lot of European countries gather systematic and comprehensive information on recidivism, periodically and on a national level. This volume presents an exemplary collection of such endeavors: Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Switzerland and a comparative study of England and Wales, the Netherlands and Scotland.
Just Algorithms
Properly developed algorithms can reduce incarceration and help policymakers adopt more legally sophisticated bail and sentencing practices.
Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry
In Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry Meins G.S. Coetsier offers a new scholarly account of Karl Rahner’s theological anthropology and the prison pastorate with a contemporary expansion for meaning, seeking an antidote to the suffering and isolation of those incarcerated with a “theology of empowerment.” Drawing on prison ministry theorists and practitioners, and on the experiences of Viktor Frankl, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Etty Hillesum, the book argues that Rahner’s views on prison ministry are significant and encouraging but limited regarding the needs and demands of 21st-century prison ministry. In a convincing, perceptive, and groundbreaking study, Coetsier goes beyond Rahner with ecumenical and interreligious perspectives, reminding us all of our human dignity, of meaning and transformation, of our liberation, creativity, hope and community.
Gesellschaft. Kritik. Ironie
Je stärker Sicherheit in unserer Gesellschaft thematisiert wird, desto mehr Unsicherheit löst das aus. Wie auch immer versucht wird, in unserer Gesellschaft Sicherheit herzustellen - es zeitigt zwiespältige Ergebnisse. Wer wie Reinhard Kreissl über Kriminalität und Sicherheit forscht, muss mit Widersprüchen und Ambivalenz rechnen und umgehen können. Dazu gilt es, in seinen Worten, "den Werkzeugkasten der Reflexion und Kritik in Schuss zu halten". Um über dem Scheitern großer geschlossener Theorien und praktischer Patentlösungen nicht zu verzweifeln, hilft ein Schuss Ironie. Mit Textbeiträgen von Anita Aigner, Helga Cremer-Schäfer, Josef Estermann, Richard Freeman, Stefan Hopf, Paul Herbigerá& Hannah Reiter, Joachim (Jochen) Kersten, Roger von Laufenberg, Norbert Leonhardmair, Tilman Lutz, Markus-Michael Müller, Marion Johanna Neunkirchner, Alfred J. Noll, Lars Ostermeier, Helge Peters, Arno Pilgram, Christine Resch, Emanuel Tananau Blumenscheináund Umut Turksen.
