Criminal defiance in Europe and beyond
From organised crime to crime-terror nexus
2020 || Paperback || Petrus C. van Duyne e.a. || Eleven international publishing
Crime can be seen as an act of defiance against the rule of law, particularly if is committed with intent. This intension is often to make unlawful gains, whether by theft, corruption or taking part in illegal markets, which in Europe are most often cross-border in nature. This entails that criminal defiance is not just a national issue: theft or fraud can be committed locally, while handling the illicit proceeds may require a cross-border movement. Obviously not every state faces the same de...

State-Building, Lawmaking, and Criminal Justice in Afghanistan
A case study of the prison system’s legal mandate and the rehabilitation programmes offered in Pul-e-charkhi
2023 || Paperback || N. Amin || Eleven international publishing
Afghanistan is often viewed as a failing state. The international intervention, following 9/11, could fit with the country’s domestic modernisation efforts, King Ammanullah’s in the 1920s and Zahir Shah’s in the 1960s. Yet, such developments had been stalled time and again, first due to conservative resistance, then the 1979 Soviet occupation, and the subsequent rise of Mujahidin and Taliban. The post-2001 overhaul remained an outsider’s enterprise and lacked proper connection to Afgh...

The Abstract Police
Critical reflections on contemporary change in police organisations
2022 || Hardcover || Jan Terpstra e.a. || Eleven international publishing
Over the past ten to fifteen years the police in many Western European countries have undergone a series of profound organisational changes.

These changes are captured through the concept of the ‘abstract police’ and in this international collection of essays, leading policing scholars use this concept to make sens...

New Perspectives in Post-Transitional Policing Studies
2020 || Hardcover || Veronika Nagy e.a. || Eleven international publishing
The social, economic and technological developments of the late modern society have radically changed policing approaches both at national and supranational levels.

Measuring cybercrime in Europe: The role of crime statistics and victimisation surveys
Proceedings of a conference organized by the Council of Europe with the support of the European Union, 29-30 October 2020
2022 || Hardcover || Marcelo F. Aebi e.a. || Eleven international publishing
Cybercrime has become part of everyday life. We live in hybrid societies, fluctuating between the material and the virtual world, and we are hence confronted with online, offline and hybrid offences. However, the few victimisation surveys conducted in Europe reveal that victims of online crimes seldom report them to the police. Consequently, cybercrimes – which according to the best estimates represent between one third and more than half of all attempted and completed crimes in Europe – ...

In response, the authorities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium have each implemented their own zero-tolerance strategies to prevent and repress outlaw biker crime and deviance. In the cross-border Meuse Rhine Euregion, where the three countries intersect, the national borders may provide opportu...

Based on many international studies about the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it concludes that only two percent of world income is needed to provide all human beings with safe drinking water, sanitation, food, basic education, and simple health care. The poorest people also incur the largest numbers of victims due to wars, disasters, and pandemics. This book contains practical suggestions...
