'Doing Justice, Preventing Crime' lays normative and empirical foundations for building new, more just, and more effective systems of sentencing and punishment in the 21st century. The overriding goals are to prevent crime while treating people convicted of crimes justly, fairly, and even-handedly; to take sympathetic account of the circumstances of peoples' lives; and to punish no one more severely than he or she deserves. Michael Tonry discusses philosophy and punishment theory, surveys what is known about the deterrent, incapacitative, and rehabilitative effects of punishment, and explains what needs to be done to move from an ignoble present to a better future.

Bij de strafrechtspleging in Nederland zijn veel verschillende partijen betrokken. Sommige van deze partijen werken nauw samen, terwijl andere juist tegenover elkaar staan. Dit boek probeert inzichtelijk te maken welke partijen betrokken zijn, wat hun taken zijn in de verschillende fasen van het strafproces, en hoe zij zich tot elkaar verhouden. In acht hoofdstukken worden achtereenvolgens de politie, de bijzondere opsporingsdiensten, het Openbaar Ministerie, de strafrechtadvocatuur, de rechterlijke macht, het gevangeniswezen en de reclassering besproken. Behalve hun taken en onderlinge interactie, komt ook aan de orde hoe deze actoren zich voortdurend dienen aan te passen aan ontwikkelingen in het dynamische veld van de strafrechtspleging.

The focus of this book is the potentially radical and fundamental changes that are taking place within criminal justice in Britain and in France and the ways that these are driven by wider domestic, European, or international concerns. This metamorphosis away from established values and practices is eroding what were once regarded as core rights and freedoms in the name of efficiency, security, and justice to victims. Beginning with a comparative analysis of adversarial and inquisitorial procedural values and traditions, and an examination of broad trends in domestic and European criminal justice, the book then discusses how the roles of prosecution and defense have been reshaped in different ways in both jurisdictions—both in the text of the law and in their practices. The final part considers how systems within different procedural traditions adapt to address, or provide a remedy for, systemic flaws that produce wrongful convictions and, in particular, the role of the defense in these procedures. By adopting a comparative approach with France, the study explores the nature and reach of these trends, the ways that they challenge and disrupt criminal processes and values, and the contrasting responses that they provoke. It reveals how criminal justice traditions continue to be shaped in different ways by broader policy and political concerns; how different systems adapt, change, and distort when faced with (sometimes conflicting) pressures domestically and externally; and how different procedural values may serve to structure or limit reform, and so work to facilitate or resist change.

As a social science, criminology has long made use of empirical research undertaken by an array of scholars working in a range of subject areas. Yet criminology as an academic subject sphere has also long been as much about theoretical explanations for crime and that explains at least in part why the discipline can appear divided and fractious, not only on empirical and methodological grounds (and historically the division between quantitative and qualitative criminology might be said to be one of the subject's fault lines) but also in terms of the continual disputes around the nature, character, and causes of crime. Criminology is an interdisciplinary field in both the behavioural and social sciences. While the latter is largely more dominant, it is important to note ...

A sizable portion of social interactions produced on social media networks is relevant to social science research questions (see Moat et al., 2014, for an overview). However, these data present significant ethical challenges when used in research. The ethics of using Web 1.0 Internet datadefined as static noninteractive website datain social research is well debated (Fielding et al., 2016; Stewart & Williams, 2005). The advent of Web 2.0 Internet technologies, which facilitate the production of interactive data between individuals, reopened these debates. The ethical challenges brought about by the collection, storage, analysis, and representation of social media data in academic and government research forms the basis of this entry. The rapid uptake of social media has outpaced parallel developments in research governance and agreed good ...
