This brief offers an overview of the prevailing debates in police oversight and accountability through an analysis of policing in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. It places emphasis on three major controversies of oversight: professionalism, representation, and empowerment. Arguing that traditional models do not accurately depict variations in police systems in Asia, the volume aims to bring attention to the implementation of these three concepts and clearly articulate the power relationship within these Asian police oversight mechanisms. This brief will be a useful resource for researchers in policing as well as criminologists, political scientists, and sociologists, particularly those specializing in East Asia. Provides an overview of debates in police oversight and accountability; Analyzes policing and police oversight mechanisms in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan; Offers a new perspective on power relations within police oversight mechanisms.

Een gevangenis is een omgeving waarin ongelijkheid, angst en onderdrukking een grote rol spelen. Eigenlijk staat de gevangenis voor alles wat voormalig gevangenisdirecteur Frans Douw haat. En precies dat maakte hem tot een goede en geliefde directeur. Douw ging in 2015 met pensioen na een lange carrière die volledig in het teken heeft gestaan van wat hij ?menswaardige detentie? noemt: gedetineerden verdienen veel meer verantwoordelijkheid dan ze doorgaans in een gevangenis krijgen. Dat helpt om de schade van detentie te beperken, maar ook kunnen ze zich zo beter voorbereiden op hun terugkeer in de maatschappij. Openhartig en met vaardige pen beschrijft hij zijn loopbaan in verschillende Nederlandse gevangenissen en klinieken en neemt hij zijn lezers mee naar een wereld die voor de meesten van ons gesloten blijft. Invoelbaar laat hij bladzijde na bladzijde zien wat in de krant of bij de politiek vaak onzichtbaar blijft: gevangenen zijn eerst en vooral mensen met recht op herstel en terugkeer.

This innovative and timely work explores how the developmental criminology paradigm can be applied to understandings beyond criminal careers, to the development of more general antisocial behavior. Importantly, the rich data set from 50-years of cross sectional and longitudinal studies provides replication amongst samples, genders, generations and phases in the life span, from cohorts born in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. This work also provides a rich history about the development of the "Developmental Criminology" paradigm, drawing from developmental psychology, and life-course methodologies in Sociology. With a 50-year, multigenerational longitudinal dataset (the Montreal Two Sample Four Generational Cross sectionnal and Longitudinal Studies -MTSFGCLS) the author explores the mechanisms of official and self-reported antisocial behavior. It provides insights into not only criminal behavior, but other types of potentially problematic behavior, including drug and alcohol use, risky sexual behavior, conflict with authority and other forms of antisocial behavior; as well as their decline across the life-course. By examining the developmental mechanisms and trajectories of these behaviors, the author proposes a multidisciplinary theory to explain these phenomenons. This work will be of interested to researchers in Criminology, Sociology and Psychology, particularly within the growing area of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology, as well as related fields such as social work, public health and public policy. Marc Le Blanc is Emeritus Professor at the University of Montreal's School of Criminology and School of Psychoeducation. He served as Director of Research for Boscoville, a research and development center for adolescents with problem behavior. He has been involved in fundamental and applied research concerning juvenile delinquency for the last 50 years and in promoting a developmental approach to the study of crime. He has also worked on the ecology of delinquency in Montreal, changes in the phenomenon of delinquency over the past 50 years, the gang phenomenon, substance use and female delinquency. His work in applied criminology concerns the evaluation of treatments for juvenile delinquents and the functioning on juvenile justice. He developed and validated an instrument for the evaluation of juvenile delinquents based on his integrative theory. He has also implemented experimental differential treatments (cognitive behavioral and developmental) in secure and open units for serious delinquents. Professor Le Blanc has also been engaged in a consultative capacity to various governmental and nongovernmental organizations in Canada, America and Europe.
