Providing a comprehensive and contemporary understanding of the phenomenon of cuckooing, this volume is a timely insight into this long-standing practice whereby individuals or groups take over a person's home and use the property to facilitate exploitation.Adopting a variety of methodological approaches and empirical data, this collection brings together the existing research base on cuckooing activity that occurs both within and beyond County Lines drug distribution. Drawing attention to the array of cuckooing scenarios that do not involve County Lines operatives, as well as those that do, the book reclaims a space for habitually overlooked victims. The circumstances and structures that facilitate home takeovers are also discussed, alongside recommendations for prevention and intervention initiatives.Bringing together contributions by researchers from a variety of disciplines, Understanding and Preventing 'Cuckooing' Victimisation is an essential read for scholars and students in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, social policy, social work, housing, health and education. It is also a valuable resource for professionals and practitioners involved in policy design, adult safeguarding and crime control.

This volume offers a diverse set of scholarly essays on the imaginative potential of corrections and sentencing research/practice that centers on the lived experience of the criminal legal system. The Editors define "lived experience" broadly, encompassing the subjective ways in which corrections and sentencing directly or indirectly affect a person's daily life. They employ a diverse and expansive conceptualization of lived experience; for example, people with lived experience can be directly involved in writing or conducting the research or may be indirectly involved where the submission is about a program that includes people with lived experience in its operations (e.g., credible messengers). The volume includes 60 chapters written by academics, practitioners, and lived experts who are currently or formerly system-impacted. Chapters include short reflection essays on the meaning of lived experience, state of the knowledge reviews on topics related to lived experience, and more traditional empirical entries that highlight specific dimensions of lived experience. This groundbreaking and thought-provoking Handbook will appeal to academics, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and students seeking to understand the many ways in which ways in which corrections and sentencing directly or indirectly affect a person's daily life. This is Volume 10 of The ASC Division on Corrections and Sentencing Handbook Series. The handbooks provide in-depth coverage of seminal and topical issues around sentencing and corrections for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers.

This book introduces students to the challenges related to international crime and punishment, and the ways that criminal justice systems have sought to confront them. The dismantling and opening up of borders by technology, transportation, international trade, and the global flow of labor and capital have allowed those engaging in criminal behavior to work across borders in ways that challenge the traditional nation-state and its criminal justice system, making the study of international crime and justice increasingly relevant. This book not only covers the nuts and bolts of international crime and law enforcement, but also raises abstract, theoretical issues for debate and asks critical questions about the best ways to think about international criminal justice problems. Hot topics such a war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, terrorism, drug smuggling, human trafficking, financial crimes, environmental crimes, and cybercrime are addressed, and connections between globalization, politics, and criminal justice reflect the modern realities of international and transnational crime. Following an introductory chapter that presents the dimensions of international criminal justice, the text is organized into two major sections, the first portion discussing major international crimes and why people engage in them, and the second part laying out the central structures of the international criminal justice system, including international courts, transnational law enforcement, and aspects of United States criminal justice developed to deal with international crimes. Throughout the book, the authors place global crime within the context of contemporary politics and current events. Pedagogical tools such as summaries of significant international cases, discussion questions, and a thorough bibliography aid reader engagement and understanding . This text is suitable for students in global criminology, international crime, and comparative criminology courses and researchers and policy makers concerned with international and transnational crime.

This book examines how the movement of individuals across European borders affects their ability to effectively exercise their rights as victims in criminal proceedings - and how to improve the most problematic issues in this area.The European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, both guarantee an individual a freedom of movement understood, among others, as a freedom to leave any country, including one's own. From a victim perspective, the most relevant aspect of free movement is the fact that the exercise of their freedom to move across the border does not result in a loss of the ability to effectively exercise the rights granted to a victim within the framework of criminal law: the right to be recognised as a victim, to make a formal complaint, to receive information concerning their case, to participate in a criminal proceedings and benefit from victim assistance, compensation and protection. The book presents the legal situation and factual challenges of cross-border victims, i.e., individuals victimised in a European state other than the state, where they habitually reside, including also migrant victims, based on the results of research conducted by experts in law and victimology in 10 European countries, presented in national and European perspective.This edited collection will therefore appeal to students and scholars of migration studies, citizenship studies, victimology, and European law. It will also be of importance to legal practitioners and policymakers working in these fields.

ISBN 978-1-032-91581-4 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book offers a new and innovative way of thinking about desistance from crime, fusing our understanding of desistance transitions, youth transitions, and the impact of significant policy change on people with convictions in a way which is yet to be seen in the available desistance literature. It offers a critical account of the ways in which young adults move away from involvement in crime, while also navigating the numerous personal, social and structural transitions that characterise late adolescence.By exploring the desistance narratives of young adult men under community supervision in England and Wales during the part privatisation of the probation service, the book demonstrates the immediate impact of significant criminal justice policy change on those on the receiving end of such change. Given the expansion of neoliberal ideas in criminal justice and the ever-changing nature of criminal justice policy across the world, it is vital that we develop a critical understanding of the impact of these changes upon the, often-overlooked, people on the receiving end of them if we are to understand how such changes can be successful. This book provides the first of such discussions, charting the ways in which people with convictions navigate seemingly all-encompassing change to lead a life free from crime.Youth Desistance in Transition will be of interest to students and scholars of criminology and criminal justice, particularly those focused on understanding desistance pathways. It will also appeal to policymakers and social workers involved with youth justice and rehabilitation.

Abandoned as an infant and victimized by his adoptive father, Mac began drinking heavily in his early teens. He left home at fifteen to work in the rugged and isolated logging camps of northern British Columbia, earning respect through hard work, heavy drinking, and violent confrontations with men twice his age. At eighteen he spiralled into a life of crime - arson, theft, and drug dealing - and at twenty-four he was convicted of murder and sentenced to hard time. This only deepened his addictions and criminal connections, trapping him in a cycle of recidivism. On the surface, this cycle breaks with a remarkable transformation: he battles for sobriety, turns away from crime, and becomes a revered guest lecturer at a university.Talking Reform is a conversation between sociologist Dany Lacombe and Mac. Part memoir and part ethnography, the book critically explores how the prison culture, mental health professionals, and trauma narratives affected Mac's journey. Lacombe argues that the redemptive arc of his story oversimplifies a more complex reality. She analyzes the setbacks and failures Mac experiences as he struggles to perform the reformed version of himself, developed in collaboration with prison staff and rehabilitation professionals. She also reflects on the problematic aspects of Mac's story - in his first-person memoir and his official prison record - and challenges the reader to focus less on his character and more on his narrative of reform. From this perspective, the reform story is a socially prescribed genre, one that compels those who have been convicted of crimes to develop unrealistic stories about themselves. Off-script Mac formed strong relationships, made significant contributions to his communities, and found unexpected ways of making meaning of his life.Exploring the complexity of managing identity inside and outside of prison walls, Talking Reform highlights ongoing struggles of reintegration and the importance of compassion and inclusion in offering hope for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated persons.

Examining the inter-relationship between political rhetoric, reactionary governments and discriminatory ideologies, this book offers a fuller account of how our views on crime are formed.From media headlines to community groups on social media, fear of crime permeates society. At its worst, societal anxiety manifests in public demands for ever harsher approaches to punishment, or the weaponizing of crime by exploitative political leaders. In either case, societies are often distracted from the real factors behind crime; poverty, hardship, abuse and lack of opportunity. Many researchers and policy makers recognise this harmful spiral, but struggle to answer the question: How do we create the conditions for better public debates on crime? This book explores public opinion theories highlighting a degraded civic and media debate on crime. As an antidote, the author presents evidence on how to hold better public conversations; using facts, emotion and message framing capable of shifting punitive attitudes towards a progressive consensus. It offers a unique perspective on the kinds of democratic changes needed, as well as new insight into the arguments people need to hear when discussing crime and justice. With major international elections being preoccupied with fear of crime, this contemporary analysis comes at a very important time and presents a roadmap to a fairer society and justice system.Public Opinion on Crime will be of value to policy makers, students, third sector leaders and academics working on criminal justice reform. It will also appeal to practitioners involved in community services that are seeking public consent for work or those leading public consultations on behalf of public authorities at local and national level.

Exploring the intricate dynamics surrounding rape complainants within the South African criminal justice system, this book proposes reforms in the approach to participation of victims with the aim of mitigating the structural barriers imposed by the adversarial process.Broadening the concept of participation, the book takes a comprehensive view of meaningful participation at every stage of the legal process and argues that participation can further justice for rape victims. In doing so, it highlights that justice as an outcome of the criminal process should not solely be focused on convicting perpetrators, but about restoring the dignity of and empowering victims. Through the practical proposals included in the book to integrate complainants into the criminal process, readers will gain an understanding of what is possible even within the structures of the adversarial system, and activists both within and outside the system will be better equipped to advocate for systemic change.The Structural Exclusion of Rape Complainants in South Africa's Criminal Justice System will be of value to students and scholars of socio-legal studies, criminal law, and criminology, particularly those focused on sexual offences, victimology, and the criminal justice system. It will also be of interest to those working with victims, such as NGOs providing legal representation, victim support and therapeutic counselling.

It also examines the influences of drugs and alcohol - on both musicians and fans. Taking in music from across the globe, the book considers its role in bringing hope, whether on a personal or political level worldwide.

Ruhland, Ebony L. (ed.), Alternatives to Incarceration: Opportunities and Challenges in Reducing Violations and Revocations in Community Corrections. 150 pp. 2025:9 (Routledge, UK) <752-493>

Mass incarceration has been an ongoing problem in the United States. There have been several research studies that explain the causes and consequences of mass incarceration. A major contributor to incarceration is what happens in community supervision. In several states, many prison admissions result from technical violations from community supervision. Historically, alternatives to incarceration were developed to reduce prison populations and decrease the fiscal cost of incarceration. They were to function as a diversion away from prison. Alternatives also keep people in the community while holding them accountable and protecting community safety. Yet, given the high violations and revocations, rather than serving as an alternative to incarceration, community supervision becomes a delayed prison sentence. The book underscores the importance of ongoing research and the need for effective strategies to reduce violations and revocations. There is a clear need for more research to explore what works in reducing violations and revocations, including the factors that contribute to these issues. This ongoing exploration is crucial for the continued development and improvement of community corrections. Chapters in this book address how barriers, such as mental illness, COVID-19, and financial constraints, may impede success on supervision and highlight in the findings ways to increase success despite these barriers. Further, two chapters provide results on two commonly used strategies in community corrections - risk assessments and electronic monitoring. The chapter's findings build on previous works and provide recommendations for policy and research. This book advances knowledge on reducing violations and revocations and increasing success in community supervision. It was originally published as a special issue of Corrections.

This book critically examines the practice of international criminal justice based on the experience of war criminals who have been tried for their crimes. Presenting the perspectives of those commonly referred to as 'genocidaires', 'war criminals' or 'criminals against humanity', this book presents their experience of international criminal justice, and its impact on them. By presenting their points of view and their feelings about justice, it becomes possible to describe the way in which this branch of justice is apprehended by the perpetrators of mass crimes, to produce testimony about the lived penal experience, and to analyse the functioning of this institution through a new prism: that of the persons standing trial. From this perspective, a new analysis of international justice is produced: one that reveals its aporias, as it demonstrates the difficulties international criminal justice faces insofar as the justifications that support it are not all confirmed, and as some of the expectations placed on it are shown to be difficult to reach, if not clearly unattainable. Based on over 60 interviews, carried out over a period of twelve years, with persons tried by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, this book offers a unique analysis of the working of international criminal justice. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to those with relevant interests in law, criminology, sociology and criminology.

Guns may be as American as apple pie, but what does it mean to own a gun north of the 49th parallel? While policy battles over gun control are often associated with American politics, debates about gun control are raging in Canada, prompting Canadian gun owners to transition from hobbyists to advocates. In Targeted, political scientist Noah S. Schwartz provides an insider's perspective on gun culture in Canada, unpacking the differences between Canadian and American gun activism. He explores how Canadians interpret the rising pro-gun movement in the country, its self-perception, its goals, and the strategies and funding sources that sustain it. Arguing that a distinct pro-gun culture is emerging in Canada, Targeted highlights how the demands of the movement are closely linked to significant divisions in Canadian politics, such as the rural-urban divide and western alienation. Rather than viewing gun ownership as an unassailable constitutional right, the book reveals how Canadian gun owners frame their demands as a call for fair treatment from their leaders.

Sibongiseni Ngcamu, Bethuel, Investigating Corruption and White-collar Crime in South African Higher Education: A Critical Evaluation of Policies, Systems, and Structures. (Routledge Research in Higher Education) 184 pp. 2025:10 (Routledge, UK) <752-496>

Using an interpretivist approach, this qualitative volume interrogates instances of corruption and white-collar crime prevalent in South African higher education institutions, and suggests pathways for the proactive detection and prevention of corrupt practices. Contextualising the author's practical experiences gained in the higher education sector over the past two decades, the book employs an ethnographical method to explore the complexity of university systems, structures, and functions that make South Africa's formerly disadvantaged universities more susceptible to corruption. In the midst of highly contested, divisive and highly politized ways of reporting corruption in the media, chapters provide critical analyses guided by scientific approaches, robust data sets, and qualitative face-to-face interviews to underpin the reliability of proposed policy amendments intended to detect and prevent corruption and white-collar crime, as well as the suggested closure of loop holes that make the sector vulnerable to, and known for, a high level of criminality. Making a substantial contribution to broader academic debate around corruption and university management internationally, the book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in the field of higher education, higher education management and administration, and education policy and politics. Policy makers in both the global south and north are also likely to benefit from the book.

Mexico is a country beset by violence and insecurity, with 98 percent of violent crimes unsolved and 94 percent of crimes unpunished. These staggering statistics illustrate the critical need to understand the history of Mexico's penal law and justice system, from its evolution and development to its public image and effects on Mexican society. In A Question of Justice Elisa Speckman Guerra elucidates Mexico's penal law and justice system in the twentieth century from the disciplinary perspectives of both history and law. Looking at the critical period from 1929 to 1971, Speckman Guerra investigates the democratic rule of law and to what extent it was followed within the justice system, as well as judicial proceedings considering the role of gender, class, and race. For that reason, Speckman Guerra also delves into homicides involving very well-known victims, like the famous singer Guty CArdenas, and notorious murderers, such as the Olympic medalist Humberto Mariles; the public image of police, judges, defendants, lawyers, and other actors involved in penal processes; and the representations of crime and justice in print and on film. This extensively researched study illuminates the evolution of Mexico's penal laws, institutions of justice, and sensationalist media and violence, thereby addressing issues that are critically relevant today.

Key Contested Issues in Criminology and Criminal Justice addresses the key issues within criminology and criminal justice that are strongly contested among scholars in the field.Covering 18 different themes, the book identifies the ways in which different issues are contested and demonstrates how biopsychosocial concepts and methods can inform most of them. It is divided into four broad sections. The first section examines philosophical issues such as the value of philosophy in criminology/criminal justice, the role of ideology in our disciplines, and the issues of human nature and free will versus determinism. The second section explains the biopsychosocial perspective that provides the framework used in exploring the various issues. It explores the possibility of integrating the natural sciences with criminology, behavioral and molecular genetics, evolutionary theory, and neuroscience. It also considers issues related to child maltreatment, brain development, and the role of rationality vis-a-vis emotion in decision-making. The third section examines crime causation and contains chapters on social learning versus control theories, radical/critical theories, the relationship between intelligence and criminal behavior, issues of SES, poverty, and crime, and whether religion is a barrier or bridge to antisocial behavior. The final section looks at four issues in criminal justice: the police abolition movement, the nature of punishment and its justifications by the criminal justice system, and issues in sentencing and the death penalty.Key Contested Issues in Criminology and Criminal Justice will be of value to students and scholars in criminology and criminal justice, as well as to criminal justice practitioners.

In 2024, over 2 million Canadians are projected to become victims of violent crime, but most of these incidents will go unreported to the police. Victimology examines the causes and consequences of victimization for individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Drawing from the latest research, victimologist Jo-Anne M. Wemmers provides a critical yet accessible overview of the field. This new edition incorporates updated legislation and statistics, as well as new frameworks such as intersectionality, trauma-informed law, and transformative justice.With a victim-centred approach in a system where victims often remain overlooked and have limited legal rights, Victimology emphasizes the importance of justice that extends beyond the criminal prosecution of offenders. By addressing the structural factors that contribute to victimization, the book advocates for accessible and adequate services for victims, provided by both societal and governmental bodies. Each chapter includes discussion and reflection questions to enhance understanding and engagement. As a fundamental resource for victimology courses in criminology, social work, and sociology departments across Canada, Victimology focuses on Canadian law and policy while maintaining a global perspective.

This book examines the critical connections between criminal justice and public health perspectives on violence and crime. Violent crime involves not only criminal justice agencies, but social agencies, community groups, and public and private healthcare organizations. The authors provide a broad overview of prevalent forms of violence, focusing on how criminal justice and public health perspectives converge in the examination of and response to these issues. The book looks at the nexus of public health with problems as varied as assaultive violence, child abuse, rape and sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, elder abuse, suicide, police violence, teenage bullying, workplace violence, firearm injuries, and opioid addiction. The authors lay out a structure for an epidemiological approach to studying violent crime and offer policy recommendations for using both criminal justice and public health approaches to prevent violence. This volume spotlights the connections between violent crime and public health, and urges a consideration of public health in efforts to prevent and control violent crime. It is ideal for courses on violence in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, and social work, and an invaluable tool for practitioners, policy makers, researchers, advocates, and community volunteers in criminal justice, public health, and social service.
