This compilation of essays looks at various criminal justice, policing, corrections, and victimization issues in several foreign countries.
Abstract
The first four essays cover moral disengagement and the role of ideology in the displacement and diffusion of responsibility among terrorists, the criminology of homicide, United Nations law on victim restitution and compensation, and female victims of crime in India. The next essays address fear of crime using a contemporary example from the former "Eastern Bloc" and sociocriminological dimensions of child sexual abuse perpetrators. The final essays look at proactive policing in Germany, the reform of court probation in Poland, juvenile delinquency in Switzerland, psychiatric and psychosocial conditions of the crime of group rape, the Asian mafia, and the impact of privatizing selected police tasks on criminal justice.
