Hughes C: Cold Case Investigations for
Colleges and Universities

Cold Case Investigations for Colleges and Universities

Die Längsschnittforschung bildet seit jeher einen Kernbereich der empirischen Kriminologie. Sie beruht nicht von ungefähr auf den kausalen Modellen eines frühmodernen, naturwissenschaftlich-technisch geprägten Positivismus: Kennt man die Ursachen der Kriminalität, kann man kriminelle Karrieren vorhersagen und kontrollieren. Das Buch zeigt, dass dies schon erkenntnistheoretisch eine Illusion ist. Kausale Modelle sind mit der Komplexität menschlichen Sozialverhaltens und seiner Kontrolle - auch mit Blick auf die Kriminalprognose -  überfordert. Eine Analyse der international bedeutendsten Längsschnittstudien führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass kriminelle Verläufe nur wenig von psychischen oder sozialen Defiziten, sondern stärker von Episodenhaftigkeit, spontanen Ein- und Ausstiegen und vor allem von wiederholten polizeilichen und justiziellen Interventionen geprägt sind. Diese unübersehbar eigendynamischen Prozesse werden aus systemtheoretischer Perspektive reflektiert. Sie stehen im Zentrum eines strukturdynamischen Modells zum Verlauf der Delinquenz und ihrer formellen Kontrolle, mit dem der amerikanische National Youth Survey sowie die Tübinger Jungtäteruntersuchung sekundär analysiert werden.

Eine kritische Analyse der kriminologischen Längsschnitt- und Karriereforschung

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

Does parole have a future? If it does, can we begin to imagine a different path? Is progressive penal reform possible, or has the time come to consider more radical alternatives in a context where there is little, if any, consensus on the underlying aims and techniques of contemporary prison release? What does this all mean for the prisoners, families, victims and publics upon whose confidence the parole system ultimately depends? This book brings together a world-leading panel of 27 experts who draw upon insights from law, sociology, criminology and political science to explore these pressing questions. At a time when many parole systems are experiencing considerable strain, the aims of this collection are twofold: first, to encourage systematic and critical reflection on the rationalities, institutions and practices of parole. Second, to think big, and pose ambitious 'what if' questions about the possible futures of parole and prison release. Offering novel insights from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, this collection builds the case for, and then showcases, a 'way of doing' parole research that is global in outlook, interdisciplinary in approach and unapologetically normative in character.

Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely an elite social club, others are convinced it hides something more sinister... Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to the Knox and its inheritance, seeking a way into the exclusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian weak in the knees for the first time in her life. Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the effortlessly glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee. The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.

The Society

“The damnedest mixing of true crime, memoir, and maybe (?) ghost story I’ve ever read. The original Harper’s article gave me the shivers, and this deeper dive is going to have me looking over my shoulder on every hike. Unputdownable." — Patton OswaltWith the immediacy and extraordinary feeling for people and place of Under the Banner of Heaven and Say Nothing, a compelling true crime story about two young girls who went missing in the same Arkansas woods twenty-three years apart and the strange circumstances connecting them.This story begins in 2001 on top of Cave Mountain in the Arkansas Ozarks. A six-year-old girl named Haley—Benjamin Hale’s cousin—got lost on a mountain trail, prompting what was at the time the largest search and rescue mission in the state’s history. Her disappearance—and her account, after she was found, of the “imaginary friend” she met in the woods—would eventually become connected to another story that took place in the same wilderness more than twenty years earlier: a dark and bizarre story of a cult, brainwashing, murder, and the apocalyptic visions of a teenage prophet.Enriched by Benjamin Hale’s own family history and the lore of the Arkansas Ozarks, Cave Mountain is a gripping story about nature and survival, religion and skepticism, and good and evil. At its center are two young girls, years apart, both in danger in the verdant wilds of northern Arkansas.

Missing in Soho

“Haunting, fast-paced, and unforgettable.” — Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Guilty Here“A lush, moody mystery.

On the night of the Summer Solstice in 1999, nine-year-old Roisin O’Halloran marched into the Hanging Woods, the mysterious copse that had inspired fear in decades of children in the small Irish town of Bannakilduf. She was never seen again. Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin’s older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who’s barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin’s childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother’s death. With old wounds made fresh after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin’s disappearance. The secrets of that long-ago summer rise to the surface, and they will expose the truth that many in the small town are desperate to keep buried. The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.
