ISBN: 9780415243445 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Just what is the fear of crime and how does it impact upon the lives of the citizens of late modern societies? These are topical questions in an era when politicians compete to diagnose and respond to our worries, when newspapers are sold on the hook of our anxieties and when fortunes are made promoting the latest security technology for the home and the high street. How can the social sciences contribute to this part of the self-understanding of our times? This book presents empirical and conceptual work on the questions of fear, anxiety, risk and trust - both as problems of everyday living...

ISBN: 9780415270472 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crime prevention policy and practice is, on the whole, far from objective.

ISBN: 9780415281751 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The modern view of legal penalty is of a process concerned with the correction and rehabilitation of offenders.

Exploring both popular cultural forms and changes in crime policies and criminal law, Valier elaborates new modes of critical engagement with the politics of crime and punishment, and in particular with the return to retribution. In doing so, the book discusses: the...

A Suitable Amount of Crime
ISBN: 9780415336109 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crime and punishment are social and cultural manifestations; they are closely bound up with people's perceptions of morality, norms and values. In this book, Nils Christie argues that crime is a fluid and shallow concept - acts that could be construed as criminal are unlimited and crime is therefore in endless supply. It should not be forgotten that there are alternatives, both in the definition of crime, and in responses to it. A Suitable Amount of Crime looks at the great variations between countries over what are considered 'unwanted acts', how many are constructed as criminal...
