古代ローマにおける死刑の歴史
von Otting, Paul, Die siebenfach Enthauptete: Eine Geschichte der Todesstrafe in der roemischen Antike. (Studien und Texte zu Antike und Christentum) 290 S. 2025:5 (Mohr, GW) <744-537>

Die Roemer sind nicht gerade fu?r ihre Nachsicht gegenueber Strafta?tern bekannt geworden. Vor allem wa?hrend der Spa?tantike (4.-6. Jh. n. Chr.) sollen sie besonders brutal und entschlossen gegen diejenigen vorgegangen sein, die auf der falschen Seite des Gesetzes standen. Doch trifft das wirklich zu? Trotz dieses schlechten Leumunds verschwindet im 4./5. Jh. n. Chr. eine Reihe grausamer Hinrichtungsformen wie die Arenastrafen oder die Kreuzigung aus dem Strafarsenal, als milder empfundene Strafen wie Verstu?mmelungen und im a?ussersten Fall Enthauptungen gewinnen sogar an Bedeutung. Staatliche Zwangsmittel werden nun insbesondere von christlichen Autorita?ten hinterfragt und bisweilen von der Bevo?lkerung vereitelt - Zweifel an der beru?chtigten spa?tantiken Staatsra?son kommen auf. Mit diesem Buch will Paul von Otting ebenso die Forschungsauffassung eines spa?tantiken Gewaltregimes einer kritischen Revision unterziehen wie u?berhaupt einen ersten monographischen Beitrag zum Thema vorlegen, das trotz seines enormen Potenzials fu?r die Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte bis heute keine eingehende Wuerdigung erfahren hat. Mit der Spa?tantike wird dabei eine besonders turbulente Phase in der Geschichte des Ro?mischen Reiches ins Auge gefasst: Im Spannungsfeld von Zentralismus und Regionalismus, von Ost und West, durch die Einflussnahme des Christentums und infolge einer gesteigerten sozialen Mobilita?t haben sich die praktischen und ideologischen Bedingungen staatlicher Gewalt neu entfaltet. Formen, Funktionen und Auswirkungen dieser Gewalthandlungen sowie ihre kulturelle Wahrnehmung zwischen dem 3. und 6. Jh. n. Chr. sollen durch eine umfassende Analyse der juristischen und bislang vernachla?ssigten literarischen Quellen untersucht werden. Mit diesem weitgespannten Ansatz mo?chte von Otting den Platz der Todesstrafe in der im Wandel begriffenen Gesellschaft und Kultur der spa?tantiken Welt bestimmen und so einen Beitrag zum Verstaendnis vormoderner Strafjustiz leisten.

ISBN 978-1-032-76188-6 hard ¥40,194.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Drawing on Ireland as its primary case study, this book is an in-depth critical examination of how rights protection bodies and mechanisms are experienced by those in prison in Ireland.Through its analysis of the Irish experience, the book considers the implementation of, and challenges faced by, human rights protection within the prison context, and explores some of the reforms that Ireland has undertaken in this area over the past 15 years, including the introduction of a new complaint system and establishment of an Office of the Inspector of Prisons. Using a wealth of information gathered through interviews and surveys of participants in 3 male prisons, the book sets out personal experiences of such mechanisms and identifies the key barriers to effective rights protection.Offering a detailed presentation of the international framework for the protection of prisoners' rights through oversight mechanisms, and proposing methods for overcoming common barriers, Overseeing Rights in Prison: The Irish Experience of Human Rights Protection in Prisons will be of interest to students and scholars of criminology, particularly in relation to prisons and human rights.

Criminal Law and Criminal Justice: Morals and Policy goes beyond the traditional criminal law textbook and invites students to question why we criminalise certain behaviour and whether the decisions made by the courts can be justified according to legal principle, morals and policy.Providing an overview not only of the legal doctrine of criminal law, but also of the underpinning theory behind the legal doctrine, the book encourages critical thinking around the context behind, and implementation of, legal decisions. It applies this to current issues, such as respect for personal autonomy, prevention of domestic abuse and discouraging gang activity, whilst providing a clear overview of the law relating to actus reus, mens rea, property offences, homicide, non-fatal offences, sexual offences, accessorial liability, and defences. Using hypothetical scenarios, students will develop an understanding of why certain rules exist and then be able to critically analyse why certain behaviour is criminalised. An in-depth study of several key cases will show how the rules and theory play out in practice, and students will examine how morals and policy have influenced these decisions.Featuring thinking points as well as further reading suggestions, this textbook is suitable for all students of criminal law, as well as for those studying jurisprudence.

ISBN 978-1-032-85210-2 hard ¥40,194.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores a range of topics relating to the prosecution and trial of organised crime and the punishment, especially imprisonment, of members of organised criminal groups. Organised crime poses particular challenges to the criminal justice system. While much of the attention of policy-makers, legislators, law enforcement, and the media is on criminalisation and investigation, much less attention, including academic analysis, has been devoted to the unique problems posed by organised crime to criminal procedure and to the prison system. This book gives particular attention to the role and powers of prosecutors and the judiciary, measures relating to criminal proceedings, international cooperation, sentencing, and the situations in prisons. The book will be a valuable guide for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of organised crime, international criminal justice, criminal procedures, and prisons.

For over four decades, drug trafficking gangs have monopolized violence and engaged in various forms of governance across hundreds of informal neighborhoods known as favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, over 200 interviews with gang members and residents, 400 archival documents, and 20,000 anonymous hotline denunciations of gang members, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the causes and consequences of these governance arrangements. The book documents the variation in gang-resident relationships - from responsive relations in which gangs provide a reliable form of order and stimulate the local economy, to coercive and unresponsive relations in which gangs offers residents few benefits - then identifies the factors that account for this variation. The result is an unprecedented ethnographic study that provides readers a unique, in-depth insight into the evolution of Rio de Janeiro's drug trafficking gangs from their emergence in the 1970s to the present day.

While contemporary European universities are often imagined to be a forward-thinking environment fostering acceptance and inclusivity, universities can be crucial sites for the reproduction of oppression. As modern universities diversify, they increasingly become the first site where young people are confronted with diversity, leading to ignorant biases and, sometimes, targeted violence. In Addressing Hate Crime and Incidents in Neoliberal Universities: An Examination of Universities' Policies, criminologist Kahyeng Chai takes readers on a behind-the-scenes examination of prejudice in modern higher education, covering numerous hot-button issues including sexism, islamophobia, racism, misogynoir, homophobia, and antisemitism. Chai tackles this thorny topic through a thorough analysis of various national studies, news reports, and academic research, from the landmark study conducted by the National Union of Students in 2011 to the '2019 survey conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Despite laudable progress across the English higher education sector, a lack of clarity around reportable behaviours, understanding towards students' experiences of racial harassment, and awareness among students of such policies means the extant policies have room for improvement. Chai, however, establishes a new, effective policy for addressing students' experiences of hate crime and incidents, utilising an innovative new theoretical framework: institutional critical victimology. Packed with fieldwork, policy analyses, and rock-solid next steps, Addressing Hate Crime and Incidents in Neoliberal Universities provides unique insights and guidance on how modern higher education institutions globally can learn, adapt, and grow in the modern era.

This book offers an analysis on how organized crime operates in Spain and the security apparatus to try to contain it.Organized crime is currently one of the most serious security threats facing democratic societies. Despite its intense presence and the responses that states have articulated in recent decades, little attention has been paid to the measurement of the effectiveness of the means adopted to combat it. Thus, this volume delves into this issue, and performs an analysis of the police dimension of the response to organized crime in Spain. Firstly, this volume describes the international phenomenon of organized crime and its evolution in Spain, and continues by analyzing the profile and the characteristics of the different police forces and their resources and capabilities. The book then discusses the consequences of the measures at international level, at European Union level, but also at local level, in relation to other police forces. Finally, the volume addresses the legal and public policy efforts that Spanish Law Enforcement Agencies have made in supervising or regulating their own police forces, which is necessary to carry out a detailed analysis of the consequences on the presence and strength of organized crime in the structures, strategies and decisions that Spain adopted over the last decades. As a result, this book builds on and updates the previous work by international and proposes an interesting methodology which can contribute to the advancement of security studies.This book will be of interest to students of organised crime, criminology, Spanish politics and security studies

A little known and under-appreciated area in criminology is knowledge about the extent, pattern, and costs of crime committed against agricultural crimes. Farm Crime: An International Perspective is the first book to summarize the existing literature from across the globe about agricultural victimization. It demonstrates the vulnerability of farms and farm families to both property and violent crime and how it threatens their livelihood and lifestyles.Written by a pioneer of rural criminology, this book provides both, a descriptive synthesis of agricultural victimization and various criminological theories applied to its study. Despite the great diversity of farms in different regions of the world and the significant differences between the kinds of crime committed against farms from continent to continent, Farm Crime summarizes common areas of vulnerability. It provides a significant agenda for the future study of agricultural victimization, both in terms of its importance to issues of food security and the safety of farm families around the world.This book is essential reading for green criminologists, rural criminologists, mainstream criminologists and sociologists alike. It will also be of interest to researchers and policymakers focused on issues of rural development, agricultural policy and food security.

At a time when much in UK policing is the subject of intense public and media scrutiny, there prevails a practitioner discourse about policing ethically that is ongoing formally in police ethics committee discussions, and probably informally in station offices, canteens, classrooms, and police vehicles. Since January 2024, these conversations have added emphasis with the publication of the College of Policing revised Code of Ethics with which policing practitioners in England and Wales are coming to grips. This book explores thinking about policing ethically for those who have to use and implement the ideas; to those who, when law and policy is silent on the matter before them, nevertheless have to make a justifiable decision and act upon it.Applicable to policing generally, not just to the U.K., Part 1 of this book presents conceptual contextualization for thinking about policing ethically. Following which, Part 2 considers practical implications of policing ethically. Some of the key topics that the book covers are as follows:? Discussions of managing power and vulnerability? Implementing frontline ethics in practice? The process of making ethically-informed decisions? Considerations around ethics and the use of Artificial Intelligence by policing practitioners? Prerequisites to ethical leadership? Considering 'public interest' in relation to policing ethically? Risk management as a moral obligation Drawing upon the policing practitioner and policy-making experience of the authors, this book will be of interest and use to all those involved in delivering policing: constables of all ranks (student, probationary, and experienced), policing community support officers, professional support staff, policing ethic committee members, and policymakers. The book is also a contribution to the wider academic literature on policing and ethics, and will be of interest not only to policing ethicists and ethnographers, but also students and policy-makers in the fields of criminology, sociology and governance.

Mazerolle, Lorraine / Petersen, Kevin / Sydes, M. et al., Partnerships in Policing: How Third Parties Help Police to Reduce Crime and Disorder. (Elements in Criminology) 90 pp. 2025:1 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <744-623>

Partnerships in policing are used worldwide to reduce crime and disorder problems. Police forge partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and communities to co-produce public safety. Third-party policing (TPP) is a particular type of partnership that involves the police addressing crime and disorder by working through (and with) third-party partners. This Element focuses on the nature and effectiveness of TPP partnerships. Using systematic review and meta-analytic techniques, it shows that TPP interventions are effective in efforts to reduce crime and disorder, without displacement of these problems. Cooperative partnerships are associated with considerably larger crime control effects than interventions relying on coercive engagement styles. Dyad partnerships - twosome partnerships between police and one third-party partner - are likely to offer the "sweet spot" in TPP. The Element concludes that partnership policing using non-criminal justice legal levers is a promising approach to crime control. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book chronicles the overwhelmingly powerful, human, and transformative experience that restorative encounters among victims and perpetrators embody from the perspective of facilitators, a victim, and a perpetrator. It describes and reflects on the methodology and outcome of the encounters between people who had suffered terrorist violence -either as direct surviving victims, or as relatives of the murdered- and the people convicted of these very serious crimes, during 2011 and 2012. Some of these encounters are approached in the prizewinning movie "Maixabel" by Iciar Bollain. They have set an important but humble opportunity for peace building in the Basque Country.

ISBN 978-1-032-49753-2 hard ¥40,194.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Exploring the cultural history of surveillance practices of the Securitate, Romania's secret police during its communist period, the book blends biographical details in a historical inquiry to establish the concepts of psuchegraphy, dossierveillance, and banalization of evil in the study of Securitate Archives.In the context of communist Romania under the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu (1965-89), dossierveillance was a type of surveillance that stresses the miasmic effect of Securitate dossiers in the daily life of Romanians. Centered around the analysis of this concept, the book presents a unique account of the surveillance practices of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, expanding its relevance to fear in the current neo-liberal societies. This book will appeal to students of Eastern European history and politics, criminology, sociology, anthropology, and surveillance studies.

Few experiences carry more shame, stigma, and misunderstanding than the life-altering trauma of sexual abuse. Men who experience sexual abuse and rape, often find themselves marginalised and isolated, yet there are few resources available for them or those who support them.This book examines the impact of sexual abuse on different men through an intersectional lens, exploring how their unique identities, circumstances, and society's views affect their recovery or compound their trauma. Each chapter addresses a topic chosen by hundreds of male survivors who have attended the author's recovery groups. It includes survivor testimonies, signposts to resources, and reflective activities to help manage the aftermath of sexual trauma. With statutory services, such as the criminal justice system, often failing male survivors, the book draws on Transformative Justice principles to suggest alternative ways for men to break cycles of trauma and move forward with their lives.Aimed at male survivors and those who support them-counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, family members, and loved ones-this book offers guidance and hope for navigating a path to healing.

ISBN 978-1-009-34158-5 hard ¥30,492.- (税込) GB￡ 110.00 *

Ecoviolence, defined broadly as the intersection between human-human exploitation and the destruction of nature, is one of the defining features of our time. This book collects ten case studies examining the intersection between the exploitation of human beings and environmental harm. Topics discussed include the wildlife trade, ecoviolence at sea, natural resource exploitation in Latin America and Africa, human trafficking induced by extreme weather events, climate change-related language death, and the confluence of drug cartels and environmental destruction. The book argues that Ecoviolence Studies has emerged as an expanded, multidisciplinary field in its own right, and that policy responses and the search for environmental and social justice should reflect accumulated knowledge in this area. It is an insightful volume for researchers and graduate students working in green criminology, Earth system governance, environmental politics, human rights, environmental and international law, and related areas.

ISBN 978-1-032-95257-4 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB￡ 135.00

This book comprises an in-depth and highly inclusive ethnographic study of daily life in two local Danish probation offices. With a special emphasis on manual-based rehabilitative interventions, the book explores the interactions between probation officers and citizens on probation, serving conditional sentences, or performing community service, as well as the professionals' rationales behind their rehabilitative efforts.By presenting ethnographic findings that indicate a divergence between the envisioned trust-based interactions and the reality of manual-based, scripted practices within the Danish probation service, the analyses reveal how rehabilitative interactions may seem choreographed, with roles predetermined by an asymmetric social hierarchy. This framework portrays the client as inherently obstinate, unpredictable, and cast as an irresponsible subject.Despite these challenges, the book underscores probation officers' genuine belief in the transformative power of motivational programs. More precisely, it assesses the potential for manual-based or 'scripted' rehabilitative interventions to genuinely inspire participatory citizenship among disenfranchised clients. Building on these empirically informed discussions, the book ultimately endeavors to provide a positive and instructive conceptualization of the diverse activities in which probation officers, acknowledging the limitations of their scripted interactions with clients, appear to transgress their manual-based mandate and perform 'professional disobedience.' This book is essential reading for those engaged in probation, criminal justice, ethnography, and Nordic Criminology. Given the broad applicability of the concept of 'professional disobedience,' extending beyond probation to other social service practices, this book will also appeal to a wide array of researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers with an interest in punishment, disenfranchisement, and rehabilitation.

Microgeographic units of analysis have moved to the center of criminological inquiry. This Element brings together leading crime-and-place scholars to identify promising areas for future study. Section 1 introduces the Element and the importance of focusing on the future of studies of crime and place. Section 2 examines the development of hot-spots policing and the importance of focusing on its impact on communities. It also looks at how 'pracademics' can advance the science and practice of place-based policing. Section 3 focuses on place managers as prevention agents and examines how city government can influence crime at place. It further contends that rural communities need to become a key focus of crime-and-place scholarship. Section 4 emphasizes the importance of the connection of health, crime, and place. It also argues for the importance of expanding the methodological tools of crime and place to include careful ethnographic and qualitative research.

This fully revised volume provides a rigorous assessment of the latest research relating to the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, along with the practical and policy implications of the findings. Leading researchers and practitioners from diverse and international backgrounds offer critical commentary on these findings gathered from both field and laboratory research. Building on the first edition, this book presents the research from the past twenty years on why delayed disclosure or denial is so common and what we can do about it. Chapters focus on field research interviewing reluctant children, both suspected victims of sexual abuse and other crimes, victims of trafficking, as well as young, suspected perpetrators of sexual abuse. Adding emphasis on research-based methods for overcoming reluctance, it also explores the different dynamics and circumstances which affect disclosure patterns and the ways in which interviewers can facilitate disclosures. Child Sexual Abuse is for researchers and practitioners from child, forensic, and clinical psychology, social work, and all legal professionals who need to understand this crime. It will also be of interest to trainee social workers specializing in child welfare and intervention.
