Castell Britton S: Identity Restoration
Theory (IRT) in Caribbean Criminal Justi

Identity Restoration Theory (IRT) in Caribbean Criminal Justice

Education and Rehabilitation for Reintegration

Reportagen aus den Gerichtssälen dieser Republik

Am Abgrund

As one of the world's leading scientists examining how our DNA shapes differences in temperament, temptation and behaviour, Harden has seen first-hand how we - in public and in our most private relationships - continue to struggle with the ancient tensions between nature and nurture, freedom and constraint, the desire to punish and the longing to forgive. In Original Sin, she weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other - or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete? Navigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial behaviour and violence, Harden confronts the discomforting ways science unsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so she asks us not to absolve, but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A revelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behaviour meets inherited biology, Original Sin challenges us to imagine a more humane vision of accountability - for ourselves and for one another.

The Genetics of Wrongdoing, the Problem of Blame and the Future of Forgiveness

Original Sin

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

Prison building has moved from the margins to the mainstream of our penal politics. In recent years the UK Government has invested billions in new prison building and the main political parties are currently locked into a penal arms race over who can, and who will, build the most additional prison places in England and Wales. Prison building is now widely lauded as the definitive policy solution to the current prisons crisis and yet, this remains an elusive sphere of penal policymaking. Academic research remains in its infancy, and we still know very little about how these large investment decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons.
In seeking to shine a light on this subterranean and largely closed sphere of contemporary penal policymaking, this book presents the first systematic study of prison building programmes in England and Wales since the mid-1990’s punitive turn. Drawing upon extensive archival research, 28 exploratory qualitative interviews, publicly recorded data, historic satellite imagery and other mapping techniques this book has three main aims: (1) to provide an authoritative historical account of prison building activity in England and Wales since the mid-1990s punitive turn, (2) to explain why successive governments have chosen to invest in new prison building programmes and (3) to reflect upon how the prisons we build - functionally, architecturally, geographically – continue to shape our politics long after they have been constructed.

Building Legacies and the State Capacity to Punish

The Politics of Prison Building Programmes

This book brings together studies in forensics, law and criminology, which are all equally essential for a fair criminal justice system. It gives a comprehensive view to a wide variety of readers from the three communities across the globe to connect the dots which link all these three subjects, thus catalyzing interdisciplinary collaborations. The book explores the topics through four themes -- exploring forensic science in the 21st century; looking at law and criminal justice in the new millennium; contemporary trends in criminology; and, medico-legal aspects of human identification.The readers who will find important learnings in the book include scientists, legal and law enforcement practitioners, academicians and students to create a holistic environment for cumulative and collaborative approach towards the criminal justice system.

Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century

Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology

Das ist das Buch der Stunde. Die schonungslose Analyse einer verfehlten Migrationspolitik von einem der renommiertesten forensischen Psychiater im deutschsprachigen Raum.
Frank Urbaniok, der sich in seiner jahrzehntelangen Tätigkeit mit tausenden von Gewalt- und Sexualstraftätern intensiv auseinandergesetzt hat, legt erstmals für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz die drastischen Kriminalitätsquoten bestimmter Herkunftsländer dar. Und er zeigt auf, wie versucht wird, diese Fakten in der öffentlichen Diskussion zu verschleiern.
Mit der Präzision des Wissenschaftlers und der Erzählweise des Beobachters menschlicher Abgründe präsentiert Urbaniok ein überzeugendes Konzept für die Lösung der Migrationskrise, die immer mehr zu einer Schicksalsfrage für unsere Gesellschaft wird. Seine politisch unabhängige Position und seine Expertise als Forensiker erlauben ihm dabei einen Gesamtblick und Schlussfolgerungen, die weit über übliche Analysen hinausgehen.
Urbaniok fordert eine umfassende Migrationswende: Integrationsbemühungen zu forcieren, aber gleichzeitig die drängenden Migrationsprobleme wirksam zu bekämpfen sind keine Gegensätze, sondern sich ergänzende Elemente einer intelligenten Migrationspolitik.
Die Vernünftigen müssen sich der Probleme annehmen, weil andernfalls radikale Kräfte profitieren und viele Bürger und Bürgerinnen das Vertrauen in die Handlungsfähigkeit des Staates verlieren. Urbanioks Buch bietet dafür die Grundlage. Denn es beschreibt nicht nur faktenbasiert die Schattenseiten der Migration und ihre Gründe, sondern zeigt auch die notwendigen Lösungen auf.

Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

The book explores the concept of counter-narratives to terrorism within the context of Pakistan’s unique socio-political, cultural, and historical experiences. It provides actionable insights to combat extremism, focusing on the role of ideology, socio-economic reforms, and community engagement in reducing radicalization.
As a frontline state in the global War on Terror, Pakistan deals with the rise of terrorist groups such as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and their shocking use of suicide terrorism. Despite military achievements, enduring peace remains elusive due to ideological and social origins of extremism. This book addresses the pressing necessity for counter-narratives—intellectual, cultural, and strategic outlines to challenge extremist ideologies and promote peace within and beyond the borders.
Munir Ahmad Zia Rao serves as Deputy Inspector General of Police (Training), Punjab, Pakistan. Over the past twenty-five years, he has worked across operational and strategic policing domains, including counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, and policy development. He has served with Pakistan’s National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA),&nbsp;Additional Director Anti Money Laundering Unit&nbsp; (FIA), and provincial police Training Directorate, contributing to policy development, law enforcement, national security, and community resilience initiatives. Dr. Rao holds a Ph.D. in Terrorism Studies and is recognized for his pioneering field research on suicide terrorism, including extensive interviews with failed suicide bombers and former militants. His academic work bridges empirical inquiry with critical theory, engaging with themes such as biopolitics, necropolitics, radical ideology, and de-radicalization. Beyond policing, he serves as a researcher, trainer, and policy advisor in the domains of counter-extremism, digital radicalization, and the development of sustainable peace narratives in South Asia.

Breaking the Cycle

Counter-Narratives to Terrorism in Pakistan

This book investigates the experiences of women inmates in Alipore Women’s Correctional Home and Dum Dum Central Correctional Home in West Bengal, India. It explores their socio-economic background, the major factors that led to their incarceration, the nature of their crimes, the problems that women inmates and their children face inside the correctional homes, and their dealings with the judiciary.
Using a mixed methods framework, this volume helps us to understand how multiple hegemonies can affect the offence done by a particular woman. Through inmate interviews, this book provides a window into their struggles and decisions. The narratives contain rich information on their motives and ‘modus operandi’ and produce data on how the ‘self’ is constructed by reflecting upon the complex nature of values, identities, cultures and communities of the inmates. The analytical framework further challenges positivism in contemporary criminology. Advancing feminist criminological agendas, this book aims to help influence the creation and implementation of public policy to improve the conditions of female inmates in correctional homes in countries like India.

Palgrave Histories of Policing, Punishment and Justice

<div>This book provides a comprehensive overview of police governance in England and Wales. This volume (II) covers reform and development of tripartite governance from 1979-2025. Volume I starts from the Anglo Saxon period. These volumes analyse the key mechanisms and procedures that have sought to provide for the control and accountability of police organisations to external bodies and the means through which the conduct and work performed by police personnel is regulated internally. They discuss and evaluate the key debates and developments that have underpinned changes to police governance and the social, economic and political context within which these have emerged. They bring together a wide variety of material that relates to historical and contemporary aspects of policing. They draw upon primary (as well as secondary) source material including the use of historical documents for the early chapters. They speak to students taking courses in criminology and criminal justice studies and also those specialising in policing and to practitioners.</div>
