This Handbook aims to reflect the range and depth of current work in Europe, and to counterbalance the impact of the – sometimes insular and ethnocentric – Anglo-American criminological tradition. The end-product is a collection of twenty-eight chapters illustrating a truly comparative and interdisciplinary European criminology.   The editors have assembled a cast of leading voices to reflect on differences and commonalities, elaborate on theoretically grounded comparisons and reflect on emerging themes in criminology in Europe. After the editors’ introduction, the book is organised in three parts:    five chapters offering historical, theoretical and policy oriented overviews of European issues in crime and crime control; seven chapters looking at different dimensions of crime in Europe, includingcrime trends, state crime, gender and crime and urban safety; fifteen chapters examining the variety of institutional responses, exploring issues such as policing, juvenile justice, punishment, green crime and the role of the victim.   This book gives some indication of the richness and scope of the emerging comparative European criminology and will be required reading for anyone who wants to understand trends in crime and its control across Europe. It will also be a valuable teaching resource, especially at postgraduate level, as well as an important reference point for researchers and scholars of criminology across Europe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51126543122705,"sku":"NIN9780415685849","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522136273169,"sku":"NLS9780415685849","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B077HTJF8J.jpg?v=1751006580"},{"product_id":"violence-in-europe-book-sophie-body-gendrot-9780387745077","title":"Violence in Europe","description":"Introduction Sophie Body-Gendrot Part One: Contested Definitions Pieter Spierenburg Violence: Reflections About a Word Willem de Haan Violence as an Essentially Contested Concept Part Two: Long-Term Trends Dag Lindstr m Homicide in Scandinavia: Long-Term Trends and Their Interpretations Fran ois Ploux Violence in France's Past: An Anthropological Approach Ian O'Donnell The Fall and Rise of Homicide in Ireland Part Three: Contemporary Trends Philippe Robert Violence in Present-Day France: Data and Sociological Analysis Sophie Body-Gendrot From Old Threats to Enigmatic Enemies: The Evolution of European Policies from Low Intensity Violence to Homegrown Terrorism Part Four: Gendering Violent Practices Dorothea Nolde The Language of Violence: Symbolic Body Parts in Marital Conflicts in Early Modern France Kate O'Brien, Dick Hobbs, Louise Westmarland Negotiating Violence and Gender: Security and the Night Time Economy in the UK Part Five: Politics, War and Violence Xavier Rousseaux, Fr d ric Vesentini, Antoon Vrints Violence and War: Measuring Homicide in Belgium, 1900-1950 Susanne Karstedt Democratization and Violence: European and International Perspectives Eric Dunning Violence and Violence Control in Long-Term Perspective: Testing Elias in Relation to War, Genocide, Crime, Punishment and Sport","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52130582987025,"sku":"NLS9780387745077","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780387745077.jpg?v=1757504111"},{"product_id":"violence-in-europe-book-sophie-body-gendrot-9781441925596","title":"Violence in Europe","description":"Sophie Body-Gendrot How much related are present and past violence? The answers are complex due to the limited knowledge scientists have gathered, even after spending a life-time studying this very enigmatic and most serious social phenomenon called violence. All authors agree that the present level of interpersonal violence cannot be sufficiently understood without taking the earlier long-term decrease into account. Ted Robert Gurr (1981, 1989) was one of these pioneers who und- took a statistical overview of the development of homicides from the Middle Ages to the present, looking at England in particular. On his curve, 20 ho- cides per 100,000 inhabitants were recorded in the High and Late Middle Ages and one case in the twentieth century put an end to the curb. Gurr interpreted this long-term decrease in interpersonal violence as '-a manifestation of cultural change in Western society, especially the growing sensitization to violence and the development of an increased internal and external control on aggressive behavior'- (Gurr, 1981:258). Currently, both the present and the past have to be considered in any attempt to answer the following questions: is the higher incidence of violence which still prevails a temporary exception or a new trend related to structural dynamics of modern societies? In which regions of Europe is it more specifically pronounced? More generally, this volume claims that historical knowledge of changes in violent behavior and of violence forms an indispensable contribution to an understanding of the manifestations of violence in contemporary societies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52352338034961,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52352338592017,"sku":"NLS9781441925596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781441925596.jpg?v=1758181808"},{"product_id":"public-disorder-and-globalization-book-sophie-body-gendrot-9781138925434","title":"Public Disorder and Globalization","description":"The current growth of incidents of public disorder around the world can be seen as symptomatic of major transformations in globalized society, government, and technology. But while disorder is routinely perceived as a disturbing phenomenon, it can also be a catalyst for positive transformation and regeneration. As social media is increasingly used as a platform for mobilization and organization, local disorder may spread outward through national borders, receiving international coverage and visibility as well as triggering a domino effect of global unrest.   Combining qualitative and quantitative research, this ground-breaking text analyzes oppositional notions of order and disorder in global, national, and local contexts and considers the role of the police, the justice system, and other authorities in developing a range of responsive strategies. The author develops a new comprehensive framework for engaging in comparative and historical analysis of public disorder by drawing upon international case studies of public unrest such as 2005 in Paris and 2011 in London; the events in Ferguson and Baltimore that seeded Black Lives Matter; the Occupy movements in Zuccotti Park, Gezi Park, and Hong Kong; and the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels.   This dynamic comparative study is informed by extensive international interviews and will be a required reading for students and scholars of criminology, sociology, political science, and urban studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474716586257,"sku":"NLS9781138925434","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53352789770513,"sku":"NIN9781138925434","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138925434.jpg?v=1759841579"},{"product_id":"city-of-one-s-own-book-sophie-body-gendrot-9780754675020","title":"A City of One's Own","description":"This book highlights the citizens' continuous participation in a wide range of urban affairs, especially outside institutional frameworks.
