International Perspectives of Crime Prevention 13

Contributions from the 28th German Prevention Congress

This multidisciplinary volume considers the role of both public health and mental health policies and practices in the prevention of mass atrocity, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. 

The authors address atrocity prevention through the framework of primary (pre-conflict), secondary (mid-conflict), and tertiary (post-conflict) settings. They examine the ways in which public health and mental health scholars and practitioners currently orient their research and interventions and the ways in which we can adapt frameworks, methods, tools, and practice toward a more sophisticated and truly interdisciplinary understanding and application of atrocity prevention. The book brings together diverse fields of study by global north and global south authors in diverse contexts. It culminates in a narrative that demonstrates the state of the current fields on intersecting themes within public health, mental health, and mass atrocity prevention and the future potential directions in which these intersections could go. Such discussions will serve to influence both policy makers and practitioners in these fields toward developing, adapting, and testing frames and tools for atrocity prevention. Multidisciplinary perspectives are represented among editors and authors, including law, political science, international studies, public health, mental health, philosophy, clinical psychology, social psychology, history, and peace studies.

This multidisciplinary volume considers the role of both public health and mental health policies and practices in the prevention of mass atrocity—including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. It will be useful to both policy makers and practitioners in public health, mental health and mass atrocity prevention.

Public Health, Mental Health, and Mass Atrocity Prevention

Palgrave Studies in Risk, Crime and Society

This book delves into the devastating depths of acid attacks in India, unveiling the motives, the trauma, and the arduous road to rehabilitation. Unravelling the history and gendered aspects of acid violence, this book looks into the effects it leaves on individuals and society. It explores the complex motives driving attackers, from spurned love to property disputes, and dissects the weaponization of acid — a readily available item. Moving beyond sensationalized news headlines, it examines the nuanced portrayals of acid attacks in the media, from documentaries to memes, and exposes the cognitive biases that victimize survivors. Through extensive interviews and rigorous scientific analysis, this book explores the physical and psychological effects on the individual but also their resilience. Through powerful stories of coping, psychological rehabilitation, and post-traumatic growth, it delves into a model of rehabilitation based on extensive research, offering survivors hope. In order to aid future crime prevention, it profiles acid attack offenders, seeking to understand what fuels their actions. It critically examines the legal framework, analysing existing laws and advocating for stronger measures to combat this violence. It includes a section, ‘Reclaiming Your Strength’, which empowers survivors with a comprehensive guide with support and resources, and speaks to NGOs, protection officers and mental health professionals.
Shalini Mittal is&nbsp;Assistant Professor of Psychology at Bennett University, India, and&nbsp;researches trauma, resilience, and gender-based violence, focusing on marginalized communities.

Acid Attacks in India

The age of big data is transforming how we perceive economies. Unlike traditional, lagging indicators, big data offers a real-time pulse. From search engine trends to social media buzz and online transactions, this digital exhaust paints a detailed picture of consumer behavior, industry shifts, and regional variations.
Economists can now:
¿ Forecast with greater accuracy: By analyzing vast datasets, economists can identify early warning signs of economic booms or busts.
¿ Target policy effectively: Real-time insights allow policymakers to tailor interventions to specific economic needs.
¿ Uncover hidden patterns: Big data allows for the analysis of complex relationships, revealing previously unseen economic forces.
However, big data isn't a silver bullet. Data privacy concerns and the need for sophisticated analytical tools remain hurdles. Yet, by harnessing its power, we can build a more responsive and data-driven economic future.

Big Data: The New Frontier for Economic and Social Insights

Palgrave Studies in Green Criminology

This book is the first systematic investigation into the problem of timber trafficking in Vietnam, providing a detailed understanding of the typology of, victimization from, and key factors driving this crime. The book first reveals a multifaceted pattern of timber trafficking in Vietnam, comprising five different components: harvesting, transporting, trading, supporting, and processing. It then assesses the crime’s victimization from timber trafficking. Thanks to the employment of a broad conceptual framework of human security, Cao reveals that timber trafficking has substantial harmful impacts on all seven elements of human security: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political; whilst being closely interconnected, they vary between different groups of victims. Cao concludes by offering five solutions to better control of timber trafficking in the context of Vietnam, which crucially involve refining the current policy framework of forest governance and improving the efficiency of law enforcement. A wide-ranging and timely study, this book will hold particular appeal for scholars of green criminology and environmental harm.

Timber Trafficking in Vietnam

Introduction to Security, Tenth Edition, provides an overview of the security industry with an emphasis on the theories of security and loss prevention that have shaped the profession. Security is covered in totality, providing readers with a glimpse of the various and diverse components that make up the security function. This updated book is the latest edition in what has historically been the go-to textbook on the subject for more than 30 years. While this fully updated edition continues to utilize the basic concepts that have made this text the premier primer in the security field, it also focuses heavily on current and future security issues.

Introduction to Security

This book offers a comparison of the differences between the 'public' and 'private' spheres, and questions the need for law enforcement to intrude upon both. Beginning with the origins of the concept of privacy, before addressing more current thinking, the authors examine the notion of privacy and policing, using both direct (e.g. 'stop and search' methods) and technological interventions (e.g. telephone interceptions and Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras), privacy in the space of the court, looking at what restrictions are placed on press reporting, as well as considering whether the open court ensures fair trials. Particular forms of offending and privacy are also considered: anonymity for sexual offence defendants, for example, or weighing the terrorist's right to privacy against the safety and security of the general public. A timely discussion into the right to privacy in prison and during community sentences is also included, and Marshall and Thomas offer convin cing analysis on the importance of rehabilitation, giving consideration to police registers and the storage and maintenance of criminal records by the police and their possible future use. A diverse investigation into the many facets of privacy, this volume will hold broad appeal for scholars and students of terrorism, security, and human rights.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A comprehensive overview of the integrative study of violence&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Violence continues to be one of the most urgent global public health problems that contemporary society faces. Suicides and homicides are increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in younger age groups and lower-income countries. Historically, the study of violence has been fragmented across disparate fields of study with little cross-disciplinary collaboration, thus creating a roadblock to decoding the underlying processes that give rise to violence and hindering efforts in research and prevention. &lt;i&gt;Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures &lt;/i&gt;assembles and organizes current information into one comprehensive volume, introducing students to the multiple sectors, disciplines, and practices that collectively comprise the study of violence.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This innovative textbook presents a unified perspective that integrates the sociological, biological, politico-economic, structural, and environmental underpinnings of violence. Each chapter examines a distinct point of learning, beginning with an overview of the content and concluding with discussion questions and an analytical summary. The chapters focus on key domains of research encouraging interdisciplinary investigation and helping students to develop critical analytical skills and form their own conclusions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Fills a significant gap in the field by providing a coherent text that consolidates information on the multiple aspects of violence&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Examines current legal, medical, public health, and policy approaches to violence prevention and their application within a global context&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Illustrates how similar causes of violence may have dissimilar manifestations&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Presents a multidisciplinary examination of the symptoms and underlying processes of violence&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Offers a thorough yet accessible learning framework to undergraduate and graduate students without prior knowledge of the study of violence&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;More than just an accumulation of facts and data, this essential text offers a broad introduction to a thinking process that can produce rigorous scholarship across disciplines and lead to a deeper understanding of violence in its many forms. &lt;/p&gt;

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures

Violence

Palgrave Studies in Crime, Media and Culture

<div>
This book identifies an emerging Brazilian cultural criminology which combines Brazilian and Latin American critical criminology with the new avenues of investigation and methodologies that characterize cultural criminology more broadly. Bringing together various perspectives, it offers a new take on cultural criminology which demonstrates its international scope and innovative approaches to explore the specific problems of Brazil’s peripheral reality. It offers a window into past and present Brazil, discussing themes of colonialism, slavery, genocide, eugenics, police lethality, mass imprisonment, urban groups, Bolsonarism, youth gangs, mediated representation, and the pandemic.
The joint work of criminologists from Brazil constitutes a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. Bound by their common political identity, these fields continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North. 
This book demonstrates that the reception and incorporation of methodologies and ideas from cultural criminology into Brazilian critical criminology do not reveal a simple reproduction, but rather that Brazilian criminologists continue to reinvent and contest, from the margins, the very cultural criminology of the Global North from which they were inspired to refine and expand the accumulated critical knowledge positioned against administrative criminology. 
The translation of this book was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done for language and content.

Heritage Crime and Victimisation

Advances in Police Theory and Practice

This volume provides a broad framework for understanding hot spots policing in the context of contributions by Professor David Weisburd, recipient of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology for his work in this area.The book aims to bring together a wide array of studies that are seldom integrated into a broad general argument about why hot spots policing "makes sense," why police agencies should be implementing this approach, and how police reform can be integrated into their efforts. In the 21st century, a series of rigorous evaluations of hot spots policing overturned the widespread assumption that the police could not prevent crime. Today, there is wide agreement that when the police focus on crimes clustered in individual locations, often called microgeographic units or hot spots, they can be effective in preventing and controlling crime. This collection examines the history of the development of the idea of crime hot spots and evidence of crime concentrations at place that underlie hot spots policing. It also presents key experimental studies that show that hot spots policing works and that it does not simply lead to displacement of crime. Finally, the volume addresses how police reform can be integrated into hot spots policing.Of interest to a wide range of criminologists and policing scholars, this volume brings together and synthesizes the evidence supporting a focus on hot spots to prevent crime.
