China has seen dramatic social changes since the Economic Reform of 1978; however, the economic upsurge and rapid urbanization present a two-edged sword, with the consequence of more challenging crime problems. This book presents an analysis of criminal issues in China from a geographic perspective, utilizing both spatio-temporal analysis and qualitative techniques at multiple spatial and temporal scales. It pays particularly close attention to a pilot study in Shenzhen city, testing the applicability of theories developed in Western society to the Chinese context. As such, this book is not me

Prisoner resettlement is high on current political and policy agendas. The high re-conviction rates of ex-prisoners have been acknowledged for many years but the rapidly rising prison population has meant that more prisoners than ever before are released. This together with the pressure this puts on to the infrastructure of the prison estate and the publication of two influential reports which highlighted the problems faced by prisoners leaving prison has concentrated attention on attempts to ensure that prisoners do not return to prison once released.

Burglary offenses, especially domestic burglaries, have increasingly been the focus of public interest in recent years. This area of crime is essential for the public's sense of security and thus also for crime policy. The tightening of penalties for domestic burglary enacted by the legislature in 2017 has been the subject of widespread discussion in criminal policy and criminal law dogmatics. This study addresses the offense area of burglary from an empirical perspective, the sanctioning of offenders as well as their criminal history and recidivism by evaluating a nationwide dataset from the Federal Central Register. Using the underlying data material, the criminal careers of burglars are also analyzed prospectively over a nine-year recidivism period and - if no redemptions were made - retrospectively over an indefinite period.

Si pour bien des intellectuels le monde contemporain va trop vite - la vitesse hystérique de ce dernier n'ayant de cesse de leur couper la parole - Catherine Mavrikakis, elle, choisit de se laisser porter par cette vitesse et d'habiter le temps mondialisé, quand bien même il menacerait le rayonnement de l'écrit. Son essai, Condamner à mort, s'applique à penser, à partir de ces vitrines du vivre-ensemble que sont Internet et la télévision, les solutions qu'offre la loi pour gérer l'assassin : suppression des personnes, camisole chimique, enfermement. Car dans ces solutions et dans leurs réceptions diverses à l'écran, se donnent à lire les implicites à partir desquels le social est tissé. De Timothy McVeigh, le terroriste américain qui a fait exploser un édifice fédéral, à Aileen Wuornos, la prostituée meurtrière de l'Interstate 75 qui, comme lui, a succombé à la peine capitale, en passant par Andrea Yates, cette mère cinq fois infanticide, aujourd'hui emprisonnée et contrôlée médicalement, et Armin Meiwes, désormais sous les verroux, qui a mangé un homme rencontré par le biais d'Internet, Catherine Mavrikakis analyse des cas spectaculaires et dramatiques qui ont nourri la chronique durant les dernières années. Elle s'attache à fourbir des armes contre la peine de mort et plonge ici " dans ce temps de la simultanéité où, comme toute bonne nageuse synchronisée, elle s'efforce de garder le sourire et surtout de ne pas respirer".
