This is the first fully internationalized book to focus on women as offenders, victims and justice professionals. It provides background, as well as specialized information that allows readers to comprehend the global forces that shape women and crime; analyze different types of violence against women (in peacetime and in armed conflict); and grasp the challenges faced by women in justice professions such as the police, the judiciary and international peacekeeping.

Die Autorin analysiert die neuen Sicherheitsherausforderungen, mit denen die europäischen Städte konfrontiert werden (Einwanderung, organisiertes Verbrechen, marginalisierte Stadtviertel Menschenhandel und Drogenkonsum). Sie definiert die Begriffe "Sicherheit im urbanen Raum" und "Prävention" als zentral für ihre Analyse. Es werden die Probleme der Datenlage sowie die verschiedenen Erfassungsansätze zur Sicherheitsproblematik und Strukturierung der einschlägigen Maßnahmen thematisiert. Dabei wird zwischen repressiven situativen und sozialen Ansätzen unterschieden. Es werden ihre Vor- und Nachteile sowie die relevanten sozialwissenschaftlichen und kriminologischen Konzepte und die Verantwortlichkeiten der beteiligten Akteure geschildert. Das Konzept der Prävention wird als das am besten entwickelte und in der Praxis erfolgreichste hervorgehoben. Ein eigenes Thema stellt das Phänomen der Angst und die damit verbundene Problematik dar. Es wird argumentiert, dass diese ein von der Kriminalität selbst getrenntes Phänomen ist, das auch getrennt untersucht werden soll und auf der operativen Ebene spezifische angstmindernde Bemühungen erfordert. Dabei kommt insbesondere der Polizei eine wichtige Rolle zu, die einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen wird. Die Autorin unterscheidet zwischen drei Handlungsmodellen, nämlich dem traditionellen oder "mechanischen" Modell, das ein repressives Handeln nahe legt; dem Modell der Nähe, das in Europa am erfolgreichsten ist, und dem Modell der Problemlösung, und thematisiert die ihnen zugrunde liegenden Philosophien. Abschließend werden die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der europäischen Erfahrungen in Lateinamerika diskutiert. (ICG)

This paper is closed access until 8 August 2019. ; This article explores the puzzle of victim dissatisfaction with State-led commemoration following 9/11 and 3/11 by offering a cross-national case study through which to view key areas of theoretical debate in the sociology of human rights, cultural trauma and collective memory, and the politics of victimhood. Although State-led commemorative processes are often highly contested, we would expect them to be less so in the cases of 9/11 and 3/11, given broad social consensus about the victims' right to commemoration and the traumatic nature of the events, and especially the "ideal nature" of the victims who as symbolic representatives of the State are conferred with great moral authority. Drawing on primary and secondary data on the commemoration of the attacks of 11th September 2001 and 11th March 2004 we find that despite sharp differences between commemorative processes, three common key areas of contestation and dissatisfaction for victims emerge: political instrumentalisation, hierarchies of worth and exclusion. We show how the status of ideal victimhood for victims of transnational terrorism carries within it an inherent paradox which provides the key to their dissatisfaction, namely the moral authority conferred on them as representatives of the State simultaneously depersonalises them, excluding them as individuals with rights and needs.

In recent years, justice-related and human rights issues have figured more and more prominently on the international political agenda. This expansion of the justice space is a product of a growing demand for accountability in world politics. Whether the issue is addressing heinous crimes such as genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in situations of armed conflict, confronting the inability or reluctance of governments to protect their own populations, or responding to the challenges posed by transnational terrorism, the international community has witnessed the proliferation of institutions and mechanisms, as well as the dynamic interplay between domestic and international processes, in the pursuit of justice-sensitive outcomes. International and hybrid tribunals, UN-led and domestic counter-terrorist initiatives, and the use of force for human protection purposes have demarcated the space within which ethical, political, and legal debates have unfolded in the quest for a more humane world order. The contributors of International Criminal Justice: Theoretical and Legal Perspectives address some of the most important issues and debates involved in this quest, and assess the merits of contending approaches to the promotion of international justice norms. This volume will contribute to the ongoing debate on the challenges, as well as opportunities, facing the justice agenda in its effort to shape developments in an increasingly interdependent world.
