Warum werden Menschen kriminell? Welche Ursachen lassen sich für delinquentes Verhalten finden? Solche Fragen beschäftigen Experten genauso wie die breitere Öffentlichkeit - und beide stehen in größerem Ideen-Austausch, als man zunächst meinen könnte. Sabine Freitag nähert sich Orten der Wissensproduktion über die Ursachen von Kriminalität ebenso wie zivilgesellschaftlichen Räumen, in denen die Thesen der Experten diskutiert wurden. Über die gesellschaftliche Annahme oder Ablehnung bestimmter wissenschaftlicher Deutungsangebote entschied nicht zuletzt ihre Kompatibilität mit vorherrschenden Werten, Normen und Selbstbildern. Nur auf dieser Grundlage konnte sich beispielsweise der angestrebte Strafzweck säkularisieren und verwissenschaftlichen: weg von einer moralischen Besserung der sündigen Seele hin zur nüchterneren Absicht, sozialverträgliche, kompetente Bürger herzustellen.

Labour has embarked upon a root and branch remaking of the criminal justice system in England and Wales, with a mass of new legislation implemented or planned. It has ensured a continuously high profile for criminal justice issues, and they have been at the centre of wider political discourse. Yet the basis and evidence on which these reforms are being introduced is both uncertain and highly controversial. Despite spending tens of millions of pounds of research into the criminal justice system in the name of evidence-based policy, evidence has counted only in relation to lowlevel technocratic

This book is centred on the proposal of a new organic criminal discipline for sexual offences in Italy. The Foreword introduces innovative concepts and 'general' breakdowns relating to sexual criminal law. Chapter 1 then addresses a critical analysis of the current discipline, pursuant to articles 609-bis and following of the Criminal Code and the related case law. Chapter 2 tables an in-depth comparative analysis of the legislation governing sexual offences in Germany, Portugal, France and England, which is also extended to legal theory and practice. Chapter 3 then presents, complete with detailed commentary, an organic project of reform for Italian legislation, characterised by a total discontinuity with the current discipline, where the principal incriminations hinge upon the mere 'sexual dissent' of the victim, breaking down different types of sexually relevant behaviour that are at present all lumped in together in the melting-pot of "sexual assault" into three different offences, while also introducing other incisive innovations.

"This book represents a critical examination of key aspects of crime and criminal justice in Northern Ireland which will have resonance elsewhere. It considers the core aspects of criminal justice policymaking in Northern Ireland which are central to the process of post-conflict transition, including reform of policing, judicial decision-making and correctional services such as probation and prisons. It examines contemporary trends in criminal justice in Northern Ireland as related to various dimensions of crime relating to female offenders, young offenders, sexual and violent offenders, race and criminal justice, community safety and restorative justice. The book also considers the extent to which crime and criminal justice issues in Northern Ireland are being affected by the broader processes of 'policy transfer', globalisation and transnationalism and the extent to which criminal justice in Northern Ireland is divergent from the other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom. Written by leading international authorities in the field, the book offers a snapshot of the cutting edge of critical thinking in criminal justice practice and transitional justice contexts."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
