Delinquent-Prone Communities
ISBN: 9780521026970 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book challenges the conventional view that disadvantage causes crime because it motivates people to offend. It argues that disadvantage causes crime because it disrupts the parenting process. The theory put forward in the book maintains that it takes a long time for disadvantage to increase the level of crime in a neighborhood. However, once the level of economic and social stress in a neighborhood reaches a critical level, it can set off an epidemic of juvenile offending.

White-Collar Crime and Criminal Careers
ISBN: 9780521777636 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Studies of the criminal career to date have focused on common criminals and street crime; criminologists have overlooked the careers of white-collar offenders. David Weisburd and Elin Waring offer here the first detailed examination of the criminal careers of people convicted of white-collar crimes. Weisburd and Waring uncover some surprising findings, which upset common wisdom about white-collar criminals. Their findings illustrate the misplaced emphasis of previous scholarship in focusing on the categorical distinctions between criminals and noncriminals.

The Criminal Recidivism Process
ISBN: 9780521581790 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book addresses how and why criminal offenders repeat their actions after being released from prison. It is part of an attempt to explain criminal behavior within the context of a contemporary psychological understanding of behavior, rather than more traditional theories of crime. Over 300 male criminal "repeat offenders" were interviewed and tested. The results indicate that their new offenses may be the result of something like a "breakdown." This report, written for a general audience, has important implications for release supervision, rehabilitation programs, and the prediction of...

Third Party Policing
ISBN: 9780521827836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores a major change in crime control whereby responsibility no longer rests primarily with state agencies, but is shared with a wide range of organizations and individuals. As a result, the role of the state becomes increasingly regulatory rather than one that actually controls policing. Including practical issues as well as ethical implications, this volume reveals how third party policing actually works, making it a valuable resource for students, academics and policy makers.

Corporate Crime, Law, and Social Control
ISBN: 9780521589338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why do corporations comply with the law? When companies violate the law, what kinds of interventions are most apt to return them to compliant status? The purpose of this book is to examine whether a shift toward the use of criminal law with its emphasis on punishment and stigmatization will be a successful crime control strategy. The author reviews whether current legal systems based in criminal, civil, and regulatory law "deter" corporate crime. She concludes that strict criminalization models that rely on punishments will not yield sufficiently high levels of compliance.

ISBN: 9780521587204 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The contributors to this book believe that something can be done to make life in American cities safer, to make growing up in urban ghettos less risky, and to reduce the violence that so often afflicts urban childhood. They consider why there is so much violence, why some people become violent and others do not, and why violence is more prevalent in some areas. The authors also discuss how the urban environment affects childhood development. They review a variety of intervention strategies and consider when it is appropriate to use them and towards whom they should be targeted.
