Résumé
Book Review of Routledge Handbook of International CriminologyRoutledge Handbook of International Criminology. 2011. Edited by Cindy J. Smith, Sheldon X. Zhang and Rosemary Barberet, New York, NY: Routledge, 585 pages. ISBN 978-0415779098.Routledge's Handbook of International Criminology is an interdisciplinary text that provides a contextual analysis of international, transnational and national crime over the course of forty eight chapters. The book is divided into three main segments: (I) Methods and Theories, (II) Special Topics and (III) Criminology and Criminal Justice in Context. Chapters are authored by researchers, scholars and practitioners from around the world. Like its writers, the text is diverse in that it covers research methods and theory while attempting to expand perspectives in understanding crimes across borders, jurisdictions and cultures. Traditional topics such as terrorism and immigration are addressed yet, the collective features cutting-edge work on cyber crime, trafficking (in various forms), as well as organized crime and identity theft. In addition, the book also features country assessments that span far beyond the West, including Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Estonia, Ghana, India, South Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Turkey and more. While this text can be helpful in a variety of courses, it is best for students interested in transnational studies, international relations and the globalization of criminology.The first section of the textbook spans ten chapters that provide an overview of international crime, research challenges, post-colonial criminology, and an introduction to both qualitative and quantitative analysis across borders. Other chapters in Part I address cultural sensitivity and transferability of Western theory, data knowledge bases, as well as, contextualization and partnerships relevant to research. The second section begins with an introduction to special topics in the field of international criminology that includes literature on the United Nations, The International Criminal Court, identity crime, safety in cyberspace, trafficking in humans, antiquities, and 'conflict diamonds'. More common topics like immigration and terrorism are sparingly included, limited to one chapter on each area. Additionally, Part II of the book includes work on global organized crime, the Hong Kong triads, drug trafficking in the Golden Triangle, the production of ecstasy in the Netherlands, and drug violence in Colombia. The third and final segment of the book encompasses case studies from twenty countries that represent a classification of nations along a broad socio-political axis. The editors note that countries are defined as rich, middle and developing based on criminological research and academic advances thereby, covering most regions of the world. Part III begins with an introduction to country assessments followed by the state of criminology in Australia, Brazil and Canada. Other chapters address the transitioning criminal justice system in Cambodia, approaches to crime in Chile, and trends in tumultuous societies like Colombia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. The text also acknowledges criminology in developing nations like Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone while providing insights about South Korea, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Russia, India and Great Britain.Overall, the format is easily accessible and can serve as a reference guide for Criminal Justice, Sociology, and International Relations majors. One particular strength is the text's usefulness in writing a country assessment; a typical undergraduate paper. Furthermore, the information provided can be utilized in comparative courses for better understanding of global and international approaches. …

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
