This brief offers a unique and innovative account of the role of internet and digital technologies in human smuggling and trafficking. It explores new illegal paths through the web by analyzing how traffickers and smugglers use the visible and dark web during different phases of the process, including recruitment, transportation, and exploitation. Featuring case studies from two European countries, Italy and the United Kingdom, it outlines the types of websites used in these processes, how they are used, and common behavior patterns. With a view of transnational criminal activities involving actors from individual criminal entrepreneurs to organized crime groups and fluid large criminal networks, this brief will be of use to law enforcement, researchers of trafficking and organized crime, and policy makers.

This book explores the potential of domestic abuse data to assess the level of harm caused to victims and the amount of resources required to respond to it. Policing domestic abuse has become a major activity for the police service in England and Wales. Part of the police strategy is to gather hundreds of thousands of detailed records about victims and suspects – the single largest set of domestic abuse records available, but one that to date has largely unexplored by researchers. In this volume, Matthew Bland and Barak Ariel analyse three substantial datasets taken from police forces across the country and ask: · Can police data be used to derive meaningful insight? · How should we use these data to measure harm? · Just how much domestic abuse involves a repeat victim? · Does abuse get more serious over time? · Can serious domestic abuse be predicted before it occurs? This volume illustrates the scale of the challenge the police and other agencies face with reducing domestic abuse. A small proportion of individuals generate a majority of harm; this book argues that police records offer opportunities to identify these individuals before the harm occurs. Demonstrating that statistical techniques can be used to profile domestic abuse to target harm reduction strategies more precisely and even identify a sizable proportion of serious cases before they occur, this volume will be of interest to law enforcement officials, policing researchers, and policy makers interested in reducing the phenomenon of domestic abuse.

Dit boek biedt een overzichtelijke inleiding in het brede domein van de criminologie, die zelfstandig kan worden gelezen. Daarbij zijn noodgedwongen keuzes gemaakt in de behandelde onderwerpen, waarbij is gestreefd naar een breed overzicht, waarin ook Nederlandse ontwikkelingen voldoende aan bod komen. Sommige onderwerpen worden niet uitvoerig behandeld, maar in dat geval wordt verwezen naar relevante aanvullende literatuur. Verschillende onderwerpen die in het boek staan beschreven, zoals de ethiek van de opsporing, kritische stromingen binnen de criminologie, onder mijning en de principes van CPTED, ontbreken in de meeste handboeken. De auteurs gaan uitgebreid in op het gebruik van criminaliteitscijfers en geven een beknopt overzicht van gangbare onderzoeksmethoden in de criminologie. De derde druk is geheel geactualiseerd en aangevuld met actuele onderwerpen en voorbeelden.
