"Paul C. Light examines and evaluates the 100 most significant investigations of policy failures, bureaucratic mistakes, and personal misconduct undertaken by the U.S. federal government between 1945 and 2012. Launched by Congress or the president, sometimes by both at the same time, the investigations at the core of this book were driven by the search for answers about significant breakdowns in government performance.

2012 Winner of the Outstanding Book Award presented by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Outstanding Academic Title from 2011 by Choice MagazineToo often, the criminal justice system silences victims, which leaves them frustrated, angry, and with many unanswered questions. Despite their rage and pain, many victims want the opportunity to confront their offenders and find resolution. After the Crime explores a victim-offender dialogue program that offers victims of severe violence an opportunity to meet face-to-face with their incarcerated offenders. Using rich in-depth interview data, the book follows the harrowing stories of crimes of stranger rape, domestic violence, marital rape, incest, child sexual abuse, murder, and drunk driving, ultimately moving beyond story-telling to provide an accessible scholarly analysis of restorative justice. Susan Miller argues that the program has significantly helped the victims who chose to face their offenders in very concrete, transformative ways. Likewise, the offenders have also experienced positive changes in their lives in terms of creating greater accountability and greater victim empathy. After the Crime explores their transformative experiences with restorative justice, vividly illustrating how one program has worked in conjunction with the criminal justice system in order to strengthen victim empowerment

How and in what way are the social sciences becoming European? This paper answers thisquestion by comparing the creation and development of eight European associations rootedin five disciplines (sociology, economics, anthropology, political science, psychology). Itshows that the Europeanisation of the social sciences is linked to different types ofcompetitions: rivalries between scientific paradigms, competitions between academicinstitutions, as well as geopolitical tensions. Europeanisation works as a resource that canbe used on these different stages, in the framework of pre-existing institutional, intellectualand political conflicts. However, the use of this resource tends to only partially achieveintended objectives. As associations grow, their objectives, practices and agendas becomeincreasingly autonomous from what their founders intended. They are also shown to berelatively confined to certain geographical areas, rather than encompassing the whole of Europe. European associations thus appear to only foster limited transnational convergence.
