assisting the authorities in investigating and prosecuting (cross-border) crime. This raises the question to what extent t...

Corruption is generally referred to as bribery. This books deals with a different form of corruption: corruption caused by networks.

Het unieke van dit boek is dat het e...

Het beoogt de relatie tussen strafrecht en criminologie te verhelderen en duidelijk te maken dat zij elkaar aanvullen, maar ook op gespannen voet met elkaar kunnen staan. Veel juridische beslissingen zijn gebaseerd...

Discusses such matters as the generation gap, the student uproar, the New Left, the beats and hippies, the psychedelic movement, rock music, the revival of occultism and mysticism, the protest against our involvement in Vietnam, and the seemingly odd reluctance of the young to buy the affluent technological society, with constructive criticism.

Against the eclectic background of his work in national sample surveys, studies based o...
