"For those getting a bit bored with the endless stream of micro-criminological studies with little ideological bearing, this well-researched book is an unexpected treat. Pushing the limits of criminology's interdisciplinarity tradition, it outlines how Homo sapiens as an intrinsically criminal species is bound to extinct itself and life on Earth as we know it. The stakes are nothing less than the prevention of the Apocalypse." -Jan van Dijk, winner of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology 2012 The book sketches out how the criminological lens could be used in the climate change debate around possible human extinction. It explores the extent to which the human species can be considered deviant in relation to other species of the contemporary biosphere, as humans seem to be the only species on Earth that does not live in natural balance with their environment (anymore). It discusses several unsettling topics in the public debate on climate change, specifically the taboo of how humans may not survive the ongoing climate change. It includes chapters on the Earth's history of mass-extinctions, the global state of denial including toward the possibility that the human species could go extinct, and it considers humans' future as a deviant, fatal species outside of Earth, in outer-space, possibly on other planets. It puts forward and enriches the critical criminological tradition by conceptualizing and setting an unsettling tone within criminology and criminological research on the human species and our extinction, by daring criminologists (and victimologists) to ponder and seek empirical answers to controversial imaginations and questions about our possible extinction.

This article explores research that, by definition or in practice, is conducted by the social science community at the international level. International research contrasts with most social science research, which is conducted within state boundaries by scholars who work on projects individually or in small groups. A survey of key research quality gatekeepers reveals a diverse range of international research activities in the UK, across all the disciplines, as well as extensive collaborative links with scholars around the world. Evidence of the characteristics present in research that transcends national and local limitations is presented, and revealing judgements about the comparative quality of international research in the social sciences emerge. This evidence also puts into perspective the common view that the USA is the world leader in social science research. Furthermore, it shows that international social science is currently limited, but has the potential to host massive projects. (Original abstract)

"Since the shutdown of our public psychiatry system, the seriously mentally ill are now mostly managed by public safety officers, school officials, emergency first responders and social workers with little experience in recognizing symptoms, triggers and issues. This book addresses the need to recognize the psychiatric component of criminological issues and the methodology of dealing with it on a practical as well as academic basis. It provides a roadmap for training in rapid assessment built on evidence-based emergency psychiatry protocols."--Publisher's description

Datenvisualisierungen und Infografiken sind spätestens seit Ausbruch der Corona-Pandemie in aller Munde oder besser gesagt "in aller Augen". Kaum ein News-Portal, kaum eine Online-Ausgabe renommierter Zeitungen kommt ohne die fast schon obligatorische interaktive Datenvisualisierung über den Verlauf der Pandemie, die Entwicklung der Infektionszahlen oder einen Ländervergleich aus. Der vorliegende erste Sammelband zum Thema möchte (interaktive) Datenvisualisierung praxisorientiert aufgreifen, um sowohl die grundlagen-orientierte wie auch die angewandte Forschung zu inspirieren, näher zusammenzuführen, zukünftige Forschung zu unterstützen sowie für offene Fragen in diesem dynamischen Prozess zu sensibilisieren.:O.

Blau, GIM Gesellschaft für Innovative Marktforschung mbH: Visualisierung qualitativer Daten: Die Komplexität des Einfachen ; Since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic at the latest, data visualisations and infographics have been on everyone's mind, or rather 'in everyone's eyes'. Barely any news portal or online edition of well-known newspapers can do without the almost obligatory interactive data visualisation on the path of the pandemic, the development of infection figures or a comparison of countries. This first volume on this topic aims to take up (interactive) data visualisation in a practice-oriented way in order to inspire both fundamentally-oriented and applied research, to bring it closer together, to support future research as well as to sensitise for open questions in this dynamic process.:O.

Das vorliegende Arbeitspapier (es handelt sich um einen Auszug aus der Habilitationsschrift des Autors) versucht eine Annäherung an eine Theorie des Kredits nicht über die Geldtheorie, sondern über den Ansatz einer generellen Theorie des Tausches. Geldwirtschaft und Geld sind aus dieser Perspektive nur partikuläre Fälle des Tausches. Um diese Konzeption konsistent durchführen zu können, klärt der Autor die Bedeutung der anderen zentralen Konzepte Geld, Interesse und Profit, teilweise unter Rückgriff auf den Marx'schen politökonomischen Ansatz. Der "Geldfetischismus" wird erst in Gesellschaften wirksam, in denen das Geld als Kapital fungiert. Marx entnimmt wichtige Motive seiner Kritik der "verkehrenden Macht des Geldes" aus einer alten Tradition, die bis in die frühe Antike zurückreicht, wie der Autor nachweist. Eingegangen wird weiterhin auf die Geldanalyse Georg Simmels und die Geldtheorie systemtheoretischer Provenienz. (ICE)
