Excédés par le présumé laxisme des tribunaux, les justiciers autoproclamés s'évertuent à punir par eux-mêmes les fauteurs de trouble. Violant la loi pour maintenir l'ordre, ils s'improvisent détectives, juges et bourreaux. Adeptes du lynchage et autres châtiments spectaculaires, ils trouvent un nouveau public sur les réseaux sociaux. 0Des groupes d'autodéfense du Far West aux chasseurs de pédophiles en Russie contemporaine, les justiciers hors-la-loi sont typiquement des hommes blancs, réactionnaires et xénophobes. Toutefois, mouvements révolutionnaires et défenseurs des dominés ne s'interdisent pas de manier, à leur tour, le fouet et le feu. L'auto-justice compte en outre de fervents zélateurs dans les services répressifs. Et quand policiers et paramilitaires s'affranchissent du cadre légal pour nettoyer la société, ils précipitent l'avènement de l'État justicier. 0Cet essai comparatif s'aventure dans les eaux troubles de la justice sommaire. Au terme d'un périple dans le monde perturbant des redresseurs de torts, une question s'impose: la France est-elle immunisée contre cette fièvre punitive?.

"This book explains and illustrates criminal justice research topics, including ethics in research, research design, causation, operationalization of variables, sampling, methods of data collection (including surveys), reliance on existing data, validity, and reliability. For each approach, the book addresses the procedures and issues involved, the method's strengths and drawbacks, and examples of actual research using that method. Every section begins with a brief summary of the research method. Introductory essays set the stage for students regarding the who, what, when, where, and why of each research example, and relevant discussion questions and exercises direct students to focus on the important concepts. Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology: A Text and Reader features interesting and relevant articles from leading journals, which have been expertly edited to highlight research design issues. The text offers instructors a well-rounded and convenient collection that eliminates the need to sift through journals to find articles that illustrate important precepts. All articles are recent and address issues relevant to the field today, such as immigration and crime, security post-9/11, racial profiling, and selection bias in media coverage of crime. The book is an ideal companion to any traditional research methods textbook. It encourages classroom discussion and critical thinking and is an essential tool for undergraduate and graduate research methods courses in criminal justice, criminology, and related fields"

Although most countries around the world use professional judges, they also rely on lay citizens, untrained in the law, to decide criminal cases. The participation of lay citizens helps to incorporate community perspectives into legal outcomes and to provide greater legitimacy for the legal system and its verdicts. This book offers a comprehensive and comparative picture of how nations use lay people in legal decision-making. It provides a much-needed, in-depth analysis of the different approaches to citizen participation and considers why some countries' use of lay participation is long-standing whereas other countries alter or abandon their efforts. This book examines the many ways in which countries around the world embrace, reject, or reform the way in which they use ordinary citizens in legal decision-making.

This is the sixth edition of a data collection initiative that started in 1993 under the umbrella of the Council of Europe and has been continued since 2000 by an international group of experts. These experts also act as regional coordinators of a network of national correspondents whose contribution has been decisive in collecting and validating data on a variety of subjects from 42 countries. The Sourcebook is composed of six chapters. The first five cover the current main types of national crime and criminal justice statistics - police, prosecution, conviction, prison, and probation statistics - for the years 2011 to 2016, providing detailed analysis for 2015. The sixth chapter covers national victimization surveys, providing rates for the main indicators every five years from 1990 to 2015. As with every new edition of the Sourcebook, the group has tried to improve data quality as well as comparability and, where appropriate, increase the scope of data collection. This new edition will continue to promote comparative research throughout Europe and make European experiences and data available worldwide.

Bestaat er klassenjustitie in de Nederlandse strafrechtketen en zo ja, welke verklaringen bestaan daarvoor? In dit boek worden deze belangrijke kwesties onderzocht. Het onderzoek dat wordt verslagen is een verkennend en kwalitatief onderzoek. Hierdoor is er geen hard bewijs te leveren voor klassenjustitie. Wel vonden de onderzoekers aanwijzingen voor verschillende vormen van (onbewuste) selectiviteit die in de Nederlandse strafrechtketen worden ervaren. De vraag is of het legitiem kan zijn om onderscheid te maken en zo ja, wat daarvoor dan de criteria zijn. De onderzoekers roepen op hierover de discussie met elkaar aan te gaan. Klassenjustitie wordt hierbij omschreven als illegitieme benadeling van mensen die niet tot de heersende klasse behoren en illegitieme bevoordeling van mensen die daar wel toe behoren. Geïnterviewde professionals uit de strafrechtketen gaven aan dat zij aanwijzingen zien voor verschillende vormen van het maken van onderscheid. Onbewuste vooroordelen en stereotypen kunnen hierbij een rol spelen, zeker wanneer er onduidelijkheid is wat te doen. Ook gemotiveerd onderscheid maken en systeemaspecten van het strafrecht kunnen een rol spelen.

The Emerald Handbook of Crime, Justice and Sustainable Development brings together a diverse and international collection of essays to critically examine issues relating to crime and justice in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides an important global framework for advancing human rights, social justice and environmental sustainability. A number of the Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address issues relating to crime, justice and security, and implicit in the 2030 Agenda is the assumption that members of the international community 'including traditional development actors and the myriad international, non-governmental, private, state and local organizations and actors that collectively contribute to the global governance of crime' must work together to enhance the capacities of both developing and developed countries to achieve this vision. Against this backdrop, this volume analyses and interrogates the SDGs from different theoretical and ideological standpoints originating from within and beyond criminology, illustrating the complex and politically contentious nature of these issues and providing insight into the different possibilities that exist for realising the SDGs and mitigating the risk that initiatives meant to realise the SDGs, may in fact contribute to harmful and counterproductive policies and practices. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students within criminology, criminal justice, socio-legal studies, international relations and development studies.
