There is no doubt that globalisation has profound effects on crime, justice and our feelings of security, identity and belonging. Many of these affect both the making of laws and the breaking of laws. It has been argued however that criminology has been too provincial, focusing as it often does on national laws and issues, whilst others have said that globalisation is the stuff of international relations, global finance and trade, not of criminology. This book disputes this by asserting that criminology has a firm place in this arena and globalisation offers the discipline a challenge that.

This article deals with recent pieces of legislation in that have impacted on policing in England and Wales, and a piece of legislation currently under consideration. The common theme of these laws is that they do not really empower the police, but rather renders them with more responsibilities. ; Straipsnyje nagrinėjami galiojantys teisės aktai, reglamentuojantys policijos veiklą Didžiojoje Britanijoje ir Velse, taip pat analizuojami šiuo metu rengiamų policijos veiklą reglamentuojančių teisės aktų projektai. Keliama pagrindinė problema – minėtieji įstatymai nesuteikia policijai tiek įgaliojimų, kiek reikalaujama atsakomybės už jų įgyvendinimą. Ši nuostata skatina skirti dėmesio policijos socialinei paskirčiai, kad būtų atkurtas visuomenės pasitikėjimas policija, siekiant atnaujinti ir api-brėžti sąžiningumo, integralumo ir kompetentingumo principus Didžiosios Britanijos ir Velso policijos veikloje. Straipsnyje analizuojamos kai kurios visuomenės pasitikėjimo policija mažėjimo priežastys, t. y. teisėtumo pažeidimai kitos rasės žmonių atžvilgiu, piliečių skundų prieš policiją skaičiaus didėjimas ir pan. Visuomenės pasitikėjimas policijos tarnybomis labai priklauso nuo įstatymų, nustatančių policijos kompetenciją viešosios tvarkos apsaugos ir socialinės kontrolės srityje. Čia tobulinami bei keičiami policijos konsultavimosi su visuomene bei policijos bendravimo su visuomene principai. Kita svarbi nuostata, kurią reikėtų tobulinti, yra policijos valdymo principų ir naujai suprantamos policijos misijos įtvirtinimas priimamuose teisės aktuose. Nauji įstatymai reikalauja, kad kiekviena policijos įstaiga kiekvienais metais pateiktų išsamų savo veiklos efektyvumo planą ir plano vykdymo ataskaitą. Straipsnyje gana plačiai nagrinėjamas 2002 metais priimtas Policijos reformos įstatymas, kuriame įtvirtinami pagrindiniai policijos įgaliojimai, galintys daryti įtaką nusikalstamumui ir socialinei netvarkai. Daroma išvada, kad socialinės krizės pasireiškia daugelyje valstybių, todėl Didžiosios Britanijos bei Velso valstybės privalo perimti ten galiojančią policijos veiklos praktiką ir ją pritaikyti naujai priimamuose įstatymuose.

The Netherlands has traditionally been known for having perhaps the mildest prison policy of the Western world in terms of prisoner numbers and prisoner treatment. However, over the last 15 to 20 years a dramatic change has taken place. The number of detention years has steadily increased since 1985; subsequently an extensive prison building scheme was launched, which resulted in more than double the number of prison cells. The landmark change in prison policy is probably completed by the coming into force of the Penitentiary Principles Act 1999 [ Penitentiare Benginselenwet] (Ministry of Justice 1997b), that became law on 1 January 1999. The new legislation re‐prioritises Dutch prison policy, by emphasising security and sobriety. This article examines causes and effects of these developments.

Society today is fascinated by crime. Crime is a hot topic in the media, so that people are continually exposed to criminal events, portrayals of those who commit them, and the suffering of victims. Yet the reality of crime is often very different from how it is portrayed in the media. Most crime is neither violent nor morbid; most offenders are not psychopaths, and although prison generally does not work, there may well be other, less punitive but more constructive interventions that are actually quite effective. This book exposes some of the most prevalent myths about crime and criminal beha
