The New European Criminology by Vincenzo Ruggiero (9780415162937)

Description - The New European Criminology by Vincenzo Ruggiero

In the age of air travel and electronic information flows, crime can no longer be seen in national terms. This reader gathers together leading criminologists from all over Europe to consider crime and responses to crime within and across borders. For the first time it allows students to experience at first hand the most exciting work in European criminology and to compare the dominant discourses of crime in different parts of Europe. The five sections of the book look at: the effects of European harmonisation on crime criminal justice, law enforcement and penal reform different forms of organised crime local crime in international contexts the need for environmental criminology and some suggestions for a new criminology of war. The New European Criminology constitutes the most comprehensive collection available of key debates from key figures in the field. It will be an essential text for students and an essential source of reference for scholars.
