Victims Still: The Political Manipulation of Crime Victims
ISBN: 9780803950535 / Angielski / Miękka / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1980s saw official crime policy in the United States shifting its focus from crime and criminals to victimization and victims.

From a thorough examination of victim legislation, get-tough crime policies, media crime coverage, the victim movement, and the wars on crime and drugs, Elias concludes that little victim support has actually occurred and that victimization is, in fact, escalating. He argues for a... The 1980s saw official crime policy in the United States shifting its focus from crime and criminals to victimization and victims. In this thought-pro...

In addition, the book provides a thorough... An effective gang intervention programme, Aggression Replacement Training (ART), is the subject of this book. Rearrest rates and other outcome results...

Crime and Disrepute
ISBN: 9780803990395 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the context of the unique crime problems of the United States, John Hagan advances a new sociology of crime and disrepute that focuses on the criminal costs of social inequality. He connects the diversion of funding away from distressed communities in the USA to increased violence and lack of social mobility for disadvantaged groups which in turn result in the development of 'deviance service centers' and 'ethnic vice industries'. Hagan further shows the important link between 'crime in the streets' and 'crime in the suites' and the difference between the two in eluding punishment.
