Offender Supervision in Europe
by Fergus Mcneill Kristel BeyensOffender supervision in Europe has developed rapidly in scale, distribution and intensity in recent years. However, the emergence of mass supervision in the community has largely escaped the attention of legal scholars and social scientists more concerned with the mass incarceration reflected in prison growth. As well as representing an important analytical lacuna for penology in general and comparative criminal justice in particular, the neglect of supervision means that research has not delivered the knowledge that is urgently required to engage with political, policy and practice communities grappling with delivering justice efficiently and effectively in fiscally straitened times, and with the challenges of communicating the meaning, legitimacy and utility of supervision to an insecure public. This book reports the findings from a survey of European research on this topic, undertaken during the first year of a European research network that spans twenty countries. As such, it provides the first comprehensive review of research on offender supervision in Europe, opening up an important new field of enquiry for comparative social science, and offering the prospects of better informed democratic deliberation about key challenges facing contemporary justice systems, policymakers and practitioners, and the societies they seek to serve.
Offenders and the Sexual Abuse of Children: Interventions and Limitations
by James A. CatesThis book synthesizes the nascent but growing body of literature and research emerging on risk management and treatment of persons who sexually offend against children.This volume demonstrates the need for change by placing current attitudes toward sexual offending in their sociocultural context and then discussing the impact of these attitudes. Rather than parse the needs of children who have been victimized from those who have offended, a model emerges that explains the interlocking dynamics of those who offend and those offended against. This book upends the convenient fiction that child sexual abuse can be reduced by locking away those who offend and then monitoring them upon release. Rather, the book addresses the need for ongoing interaction of the two populations; the reality that the two populations at times overlap; and the increasingly public question of how to manage those who acknowledge an attraction to children but deny an intent to act on that desire.Providing alternative viewpoints, research avenues, and policy options that can accommodate a more realistic effort to reduce the risk of sexual abuse, it is a must read for all policymakers or professionals working with those who have offended or acknowledge attraction to children, alongside students and researchers from forensic psychology, clinical psychology, or criminology backgrounds.

Offending from Childhood to Young Adulthood
by Wesley G. Jennings Rolf Loeber Dustin A. Pardini Alex R. Piquero David P. FarringtonThis Brief examines criminal careers by providing the most extensive and comprehensive investigation to date on the official offending, self-reported offending, and trajectories of offending of the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS) participants. The PYS is a longitudinal study, which was initiated in 1987, and involves repeated follow-ups on several community cohorts (starting in grades 1, 4, and 7) of inner-city boys in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This Brief covers the Youngest and Oldest PYS cohorts (which had the most follow-up and most data available) from ages 10-30. It provides the most complete descriptive analyses of the criminal careers of these males to date. The three cohorts are commonly referred to as the Youngest, Middle, and Oldest cohorts, respectively. Consistent with several prior publications with the PYS data (Loeber et al. , 2008), this book focuses only on data from the Youngest and Oldest cohorts as these cohorts were followed up the most frequently and have the longest time window of data available. It will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as related fields like Sociology, Developmental Psychology, Social Policy, and Education.
Offense and Offensiveness: A Philosophical Account (Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory)
by Andrew SneddonThis book offers a comprehensive study of the nature and significance of offense and offensiveness. It incorporates insights from moral philosophy and moral psychology to rationally reconstruct our ordinary ideas and assumptions about these notions. When someone claims that something is offensive, others are supposed to listen. Why? What is it for something to be offensive? Likewise, it’s supposed to matter if someone claims to have been offended. Is this correct? In this book, Andrew Sneddon argues that we should think of offense as a moralized bad feeling. He explains offensiveness in terms of symbolic value. We tend to give claims of both offense and offensiveness more credence than they deserve. While it is in principle possible for there to be genuine moral problems of offense and offensiveness, we should expect such problems to be rare. Offense and Offensiveness: A Philosophical Account will be of interest to scholars and students working in moral philosophy and moral psychology.
The Offensive Internet: Speech, Privacy, and Reputation
by Martha Craven NussbaumThe Internet has been romanticized as a zone of freedom. The alluring combination of sophisticated technology with low barriers to entry and instantaneous outreach to millions of users has mesmerized libertarians and communitarians alike. Lawmakers have joined the celebration, passing the Communications Decency Act, which enables Internet Service Providers to allow unregulated discourse without danger of liability, all in the name of enhancing freedom of speech. But an unregulated Internet is a breeding ground for offensive conduct. At last we have a book that begins to focus on abuses made possible by anonymity, freedom from liability, and lack of oversight. The distinguished scholars assembled in this volume, drawn from law and philosophy, connect the absence of legal oversight with harassment and discrimination. Questioning the simplistic notion that abusive speech and mobocracy are the inevitable outcomes of new technology, they argue that current misuse is the outgrowth of social, technological, and legal choices. Seeing this clearly will help us to be better informed about our options. In a field still dominated by a frontier perspective, this book has the potential to be a real game changer. Armed with example after example of harassment in Internet chat rooms and forums, the authors detail some of the vile and hateful speech that the current combination of law and technology has bred. The facts are then treated to analysis and policy prescriptions. Read this book and you will never again see the Internet through rose-colored glasses.
Öffentlich-Private Daseinsvorsorge: Gemischtwirtschaftliche Unternehmen auf kommunaler Ebene als strategischer Erfolgsfaktor (essentials)
by Michael Schäfer Ludger RethmannDas Kürzel ÖPP darf nicht mehr das Synonym für Vertragspartnerschaften beim Bau und Betrieb von Infrastrukturprojekten und den dazu ständig kolportierten Geschichten des Scheiterns sein. Im Gegensatz zu diesen Klischees gibt es ein reales Erfolgsmodell. Das sind gemeinsame Unternehmen von Öffentlicher Hand und Privatwirtschaft in der kommunalen Daseinsvorsorge. Warum ist das so und worin liegen die konkreten Rahmenbedingungen für eine gedeihliche Kooperation? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen geben die Autoren Michael Schäfer und Ludger Rethmann in diesem essential.
Öffentlich-Private Partnerschaften: Auslaufmodell oder eine Strategie für kommunale Daseinsvorsorge?
by Michael Schäfer Ludger RethmannDas Prinzip Privat vs. Staat im Schwarz-Weiß-Verständnis von gut oder böse, effizient oder träge ist eine ideologische Mogelpackung. Das Buch zeigt erstmals die Realität und legt dabei den Fokus auf jenen Teil der Wirtschaft, der existenzielle Leistungen erbringt. Dafür stehen u.a. die Versorgung mit Wasser, die Entsorgung, das Recycling von Abfall oder der ÖPNV. In diesen Bereichen ist die Öffentlich-Private Kooperation, vor allem in gemeinsamen Unternehmen, seit Jahrzehnten ein Erfolgsmodell – unbeschadet von den Hoheliedern der 90er Jahre auf die Privatisierung sowie den neueren Tendenzen zur Rekommunalisierung.Das Buch ist ein Beitrag zu den großen gesellschaftspolitischen Zukunftsdiskussionen. Die existentiellen Herausforderungen können wir meistern, nicht zuletzt durch die Weiterentwicklung der sozialen Marktwirtschaft. Deren zentrales Bekenntnis lautet, dass Eigentum auch dem Gemeinwohl verpflichtet sein muss. Dazu gehört die Anerkennung der herausgehobenen Rolle der Daseinsvorsorge im Kanon wirtschaftlicher Betätigungen.Weitere zentrale Themen des Buches sind: ÖPP zwischen Daseinsvorsorge, Infrastrukturdefiziten und Gewinnorientierung - Die falsche Reduktion auf Vertragspartnerschaften - Erfolgsfaktoren von ÖPP-Daseinsvorsorgeunternehmen - „Öffentlich-Private Daseinsvorsorge“ – ein neuer Begriff.
Öffentliche Übernahme durch Anschleichen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Meldepflichten nach dem WpHG
by Marc HolfterFür Außenstehende überraschende Übernahmen von börsennotierten Unternehmen, denen eine geheime Anteilsaufstockung vorausgeht, haben in jüngster Vergangenheit immer wieder für Diskussionen gesorgt; genannt sei hier nur das Beispiel von Schaeffler und Continental. Uneinigkeit herrscht insbesondere darüber, ob und gegebenenfalls wie weit ein solches Vorgehen mit dem geltenden Recht in Einklang steht. Dieser äußerst praxisrelevanten Problematik an der Schnittstelle von Übernahme- und Kapitalmarktrecht widmet sich das vorliegende Buch. Nach einer kurzen Einführung werden die beiden Erscheinungsformen des Unternehmenskaufs, die öffentliche Übernahme nach dem Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz (WpÜG) und sonstige Unternehmenskäufe, vorgestellt. Die folgenden Kapitel wenden sich speziellen Fragen zum Anschleichen bei öffentlichen Übernahmen zu: Sowohl etwaige Verstöße gegen die Ad-hoc-Publizität und gegen das Insiderrecht als auch melderechtliche Aspekte, die immer wieder Gegenstand gesetzlicher Anpassungen sind, werden ausführlich diskutiert. Berücksichtigung finden dabei dogmatische ebenso wie pragmatische Gesichtspunkte. Konkrete Empfehlungen zum Vorgehen besonders bei öffentlichen Übernahmen runden die Darstellung ab.

Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Beteiligten im Strafverfahren und mediale (Verdachts-)Berichterstattung: Neue Überlegungen zur „Störung der Strafrechtspflege“ vor dem Hintergrund des Internetzeitalters
by Janine FielitzBei medial begleiteten Strafverfahren geht es nicht mehr nur um die Wahrheitsfindung; die Verfahrensbeteiligten streben zunehmend danach, die Deutungshoheit über die mediale und öffentliche Meinung zu gewinnen. Neben der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Ermittlungs- und Justizbehörden und der damit einhergehenden, durch die internetbedingten Entwicklungen erhöhten Risiken und Gefahren für die Rechte und Interessen des Beschuldigten, befasst sich die Autorin insbes. mit den (als Verbindungsglied zwischen Strafjustiz und Öffentlichkeit fungierenden) Medien, der medialen (Verdachts-)Berichterstattung sowie der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (Litigation-PR) der Verteidigung und Nebenklage. Sie zeichnet ein umfassendes Bild von dem Zusammenspiel und den Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Beteiligten im Strafverfahren und der Medienberichterstattung, von den unterschiedlichen Rollen, den jeweiligen (z.T. konträren) Interessen, Rechten und Pflichten der Akteure, deren Handlungs- und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und den sich in diesem Zusammenhang für den Beschuldigten, die sonstigen Verfahrensbeteiligten, das Verfahren und damit auch für die Strafrechtspflege ergebenden Auswirkungen und Risiken.

Offerings: A Novel

As a result, Kate uncovers an illegal trading scheme involving her partners, and their downfall triggers another firm's attempt at a hostile takeover of Drake.Against seemingly impossible odds, Kate is able to strike a balance between the demands of the deal she is running and the right of a patriarch's family to seek closure for wounds that date back generations.
Offerings of the Heart: Money and Values in Faith Communities
by Shawn Israel ZevitNadiv Lev. “Offerings of the Heart.” This phrase sets the tone for the Jewish spiritual perspective that money is a tool for actualizing God’s presence in the world. Building on this core value and setting aside the financial/spiritual split with which many congregational leaders operate, Rabbi Shawn Zevit brings the depth and breadth of Jewish teachings on money and the spiritual life to all faith communities. This book provides texts and tools to help clergy, staff, and lay leaders of congregations of any faith approach financial and other resources as core means to build and maintain whole and holy lives in a communal setting. Zevit demonstrates how faith communities can create values-based approaches to developing and managing financial and human resources that are rooted in the very sacred traditions, principles, and impulses that bring us together. "Rabbi Shawn Zevit has gathered much of the wisdom of the Jewish community learned through four millennia of life with God. He shows us the rich thought and experience Hebrew scriptures and traditions contribute for all who seek to be faithful in the use of money in their communities. A deep understanding of generosity and giving is brought to bear on the practicalities of budgets, planning, and reaching out in deeds of justice and mercy." -- Loren B. Mead, founding president, The Alban Institute

The Officer's Daughter: A Memoir of Family and Forgiveness
by Elle Johnson"The Officer’s Daughter is a masterpiece. More than that, it's the perfect book for our troubled time. Johnson has written the deepest, most emotionally resonant understanding of forgiveness and justice I have ever read."—Darin Strauss, bestselling author of Half a LifeThe author reflects on a terrible tragedy that forever altered the fabric of her family in this remarkable memoir, a heart-wrenching story of love, violence, coming of age, secrets, justice, and forgiveness. When she was sixteen, Elle Johnson lived in Queens with her family; she dreamed of being best friends with her popular, cool cousin Karen from the Bronx. Coming from a family of black law enforcement officers, Elle felt that Karen would understand her in a way no one else could. Elle’s father was a highly protective, at times overbearing, parole officer; her uncle, Karen’s dad, was a homicide detective. On an ordinary night, the Johnson family’s lives were changed forever. Karen was shot and killed in a robbery gone wrong at the Burger King where she worked. The NYPD and FBI launched a cross-country manhunt to find the killers, and the subsequent trials and media circus marked the end of Elle's childhood innocence.Thirty years later, Elle was living in Los Angeles and working as a television writer, including on many police procedural shows, when she received an unexpected request. One of Karen’s killers was eligible for parole, and her older brother asked Elle to write a letter to the parole board arguing against his release. Elle realized that before she could condemn a man she’d never met to remain in prison, she had to face the hard truths of her own past: of a family who didn’t speak of the murder and its devastating effect, of the secrets they buried, of a complicated father she never truly understood. The Officer's Daughter is a piercing memoir that explores with unflinching honesty what parents can and cannot do to protect their children, the reverberations of violence on survivors’ lives, and the overwhelming power of forgiveness, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy.

The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales: Volume III: The Rise and Fall of Penal Hope (Government Official History Series)
by David DownesVolume III of The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales draws on archival sources and individual accounts to offer a history of penal policymaking in England and Wales between 1959 and 1997. The book studies the changes underlying penal policymaking in the period, from a belief in the rehabilitative potential of imprisonment to a reaffirmation in 1993 that ‘Prison Works’ as a deterrent to crime. A need to curb the rising prison population initially focussed on developing alternatives to prison and a new system of parole; however, their relative ineffectiveness led to sentencing becoming the key to penal reform. A slackening of faith in rehabilitation led to pressure for greater emphasis on humane containment and the rebalancing of security, order and justice in prison regimes. Thus, 1991 was the climactic year for what became largely unfulfilled hopes for lasting penal reform. Escapes, riots and prison occupations were prime catalysts for changes, often highly contentious, in penal policymaking. Notably, there was no simple equation between political party, minister and policy choice. Both Labour and Conservative governments had distinctly liberal Home Secretaries and, after 1992, both parties took a more punitive approach. This book will be of much interest to students of criminology and British history, politics and law.
The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales: Volume I: The 'Liberal Hour' (Government Official History Series)
by Paul RockVolume I of The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales frames what was known about crime and criminal justice in the 1960s, before describing the liberalising legislation of the decade. Commissioned by the Cabinet Office and using interviews, British Government records, and papers housed in private, and institutional collections, this is the first of a collaboratively written series of official histories that analyse the evolution of criminal justice between 1959 and 1997. It opens with an account of the inception of the series, before describing what was known about crime and criminal justice at the time. It then outlines the genesis of three key criminal justice Acts that not only redefined the relations between the State and citizen, but also shaped what some believed to be the spirit of the age: the abolition of capital punishment, and the reform of the laws on abortion, and homosexuality. The Acts were taken to be so contentious morally and politically that Governments of different stripes were hesitant about promoting them formally. The onus was instead passed to backbenchers, who were supported by interlocking groups of reformers, with a pooled knowledge about how to effectively organise a rhetoric that drew on the language of utilitarianism, and the clarity and authority of a Church of England. This came to play an increasingly consequential and largely unacknowledged part in resolving what were often confusing moral questions. This book will be of much interest to students of criminology and British history, politics and law.
The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales: Volume II: Institution-Building (Government Official History Series)
by Paul RockVolume II of The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales traces, for the first time, the genesis and early evolution of two principal institutions in the criminal justice system, the Crown Court and the Crown Prosecution Service. This volume examines the origins and shaping of two critical institutions: the Crown Court, which rose from the ashes of the Courts of Assize and Quarter Sessions; and the Crown Prosecution Service which replaced a rather haphazard system of police prosecuting solicitors. The 1971 Courts Act and the 1985 Prosecution of Offences Act were to reconfigure the architecture of criminal justice, transforming the procedures by which people were charged, prosecuted and, in the weightier cases demanding a judge and jury, tried in the criminal courts of England and Wales. One stemmed from a crisis in a medieval system of travelling justices that tried people in the wrong places and for inadequate lengths of time. The other was precipitated by a scandal in which three men were wrongly convicted for the murder of a bisexual prostitute. Theirs is an as yet untold history that can be explored in depth because it is recent enough, in the words of Harold Wilson, to have been ‘written while the official records could still be supplemented by reference to the personal recollections of the public men who were involved’. This book will be of much interest to students of criminology and British history, politics and law.
