Pønologi, læren om straf og strafferetlige sanktioner og deres virkning

MIT LIV er fortællingen om Jørn Jønke Nielsens unge år, fra opvæksten i 1960’ernes Storkøbenhavn og frem til maj 1984, hvor han skyder og dræber Henning Norbert Knudsen, lederen af den rivaliserende rockerklub Bullshit.Jønke forlader Danmark, og under sin fire år lange flugt skriver han første del af sin livshistorie. Den er hans bud på – med eget liv som eksempel – hvad motorcykelklubben Hells Angels står for, og hvad broderskabet mellem mænd betyder. Samtidig er den enøjenvidneberetning, et tidsdokument fra dengang i 1980’erne, hvor Hells Angels MC Denmark for alvor kom i offentlighedens søgelys. Det er historien om de storkøbenhavnske rocker- og motorcykelklubbers udvikling, fra knallertbander til hardcore bikerklubber, fra nævekampe til maskinpistoler. Bogen tegner ikke bare et billedeaf Jønke; et ungt menneske på vej mod en usikker fremtid og et liv i landflygtighed. Den fortæller også, hvorfor det gik, som det gjorde, og om Hells Angels MC’s etablering som den førende motorcykelklub i Danmark.MIT LIV udkom første gang i 1985, og siden har forfatteren skrevet yderligere fire selvbiografier. Denne nye og let reviderede udgave er forsynet med billeder og nyt forord af forfatteren.

NY OG OPDATERET 2022 UDGAVEAnstalt og menneske må betragtes som et af tidens hovedværker inden for den sociologiske analyse af livet i den totale institutions lukkede verden, således som vi kender den fra f.eks. fængsler, kaserner, skibe, kostskoler, klostre, alderdomshjem, opdragelseshjem m.m. Anstalt som menneske skildrer, hvad disse institutioner »får ud af« klienterne, og hvad klienterne »får ud af« tilværelsen inden for murene – på godt og ondt, måske navnlig det sidste… Opmærksomheden rettes i særlig grad mod statshospitalet med udgangspunkt i forfatterens studier i marken gennem 1 år som medarbejder ved et stort amerikansk statshospital. Erwing Goffman fremlægger i bogen den hovedtese, at den mest betydningsfulde faktor i den sindslidende patients udvikling under opholdet ikke så meget er hans sygdom, men selve institutionen og alt, hvad den indebærer. Anstalt og menneske har derfor bud til enhver, som er beskæftiget – eller anbragt – i disse institutioner, samt til alle, der ønsker at vide besked med en af vort samfunds skyggesider.Bogen er senest udkommet i 14 oplag i oktober i en opdateret udgave.

True crime-fortælling om mordbranden på Bornholm i 1995. Et trekantsdrama, der endte som tredobbelt drab og rystede den danske lægestand og resten af Danmark.Rønne, 28. august 1995: I et rækkehus sidder en kvinde i en stol, bedøvet af morfin. På børneværelserne ligger hendes to små drenge i deres senge. Manden er på arbejde i København. Og i stuen står elskerinden, børnelægen Elisabeth, som han netop har forladt. Hun er fløjet til Bornholm for at fjerne det, der er kommet på tværs af hendes kærlighed. Forsmået, formørket, kold. Morgensolen er på vej op over Østersøen. Om lidt er der ild.Dødslægen er en dokumentarisk beretning om en af Danmarkshistoriens mest uhyggelige kriminalsager. Et tredobbelt drab, begået med en chokerende koldblodighed, der siden udløste den første livstidsdom til en kvinde siden Anden Verdenskrig. Bogen giver et minutiøst indblik i forbrydelsen og profilen af en morder, der fastholdt sin uskyld fra dag ét. Baseret på retsdokumenter og samtaler med førstehåndskilder undersøger forfatter Robert Zola Christensen branden, jalousimotivet, politiarbejdet og retssagen, og mens han trænger ind i materialet, dukker nye forbløffende detaljer op. Bogen er blevet til i et samarbejde med Miki Mistrati, der som den eneste journalist har ført samtaler med den dømte kvinde efter domfældelsen.

Et portræt af en modig kvinde, der har viet sit liv til arbejdet med de groveste forbrydelser. Det er fortællinger om blandt andet det dødelige overfald på avisbuddet på Amager, drabet på den italienske turist i København, den hiv-smittede karatetræner, serieforbryderen fra de københavnske parker og om den voldtægtsforbryder, der blev kendt som Amager-manden.Som anklager gennem næsten 45 år har Anne Birgitte Stürup især interesseret sig for drabssager, voldtægter og misbrug af børn. Flere af de sager, hun har ført, har resulteret i retshistoriske afgørelser. Her fortæller hun om sit arbejde for anklagemyndigheden og ikke mindst for de uskyldige og ofte helt tilfældige ofre.Virkeligheden overgår handlingen i enhver kriminalroman, og bogen giver desuden et helt enestående indblik i det danske retssystem.

Kastellet Frederikshavns fængselshistorie gennem 250 årDenne bog er en moderniseret, opdateret version af Victor Krohns ”Kastellets Fængselshistorie” der oprindeligt udkom i blot 100 spritduplikerede eksemplarer i 1926. Bogen har lige siden været hovedværket for denne både spændende og tragiske del af Kastellets 350-årige historie, men grundet sin sjældenhed har den været svær at opdrive. Derfor har ”Kastellets Venner & Historisk Samling” valgt at fejre Kastellets 350 års jubilæum ved at genudsende bogen, men i Krohns ånd i en stærkt udvidet, opdateret og moderniseret udgave. Victor Krohn stræbte selv efter at bestandigt forbedre sine publikationer – vi tror, han ville have kunnet lide denne nye version.

This book uses popular films to understand the convergence of crime control and the ideology of repression in contemporary capitalism. It focuses on the cinematic figure of the fallen guardian, a protagonist who, in the course of a narrative, falls from grace and becomes an enemy of the established social order. The fallen guardian is a figure that allows for the analysis of a particular crime control measure through the perspective of both an enforcer and a target. The very notion of ¿justice¿ is challenged, and questions are posed in relation to the role that films assume in the reproduction of policing as it is. In doing so, the book combines a historical far-reaching perspective with popular culture analysis. At the core remains the value of the cinematic figure of the fallen guardian for contemporary understandings of urban space and urban crime control and how films are clear examples of the ways in which the ideology of repression is reproduced.This book questions the justifications that are often given for social control in cities and understands cinema as a medium for offering critique of such processes and justifications. Explored are the crime control measures of private policing in relation to RoboCop (1987), preventative policing and Minority Report (2002), mass incarceration in The Dark Knight Rises (2012), and extra-judicial killing in Blade Runner 2049 (2017). The book speaks to those interested in crime control in critical criminology, cultural criminology, urban studies, and beyond.

This edited collection articulates a future direction for research at the nexus of criminology and human rights by bringing together experts from different branches of criminology and criminal justice who, while they may be sceptical about certain aspects of human rights theory or practice, share an interest in realising many of the objectives set out in human rights instruments. It argues that critical criminological research has a significant role to play in identifying whether state and state-corporate power is exercised in ways that align with human rights law and principles, although the discipline has been slow to advance this agenda. This book covers a wide array of topics and seeks to develop critical human rights approaches within criminology and criminal justice.Chapter 1 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com

"A leading authority on sheriffs in America investigates the impunity with which sheriffs police their communities, alongside the troubling role they play in American life, law enforcement, and, increasingly, national politics. What should be of grave concern to us all is that sheriffs are wholly unaccountable. They do not report to federal, state, or local executives, and sheriffs' duties are often enshrined in state constitutions, making them effectively "above the law." Sheriffs have become a flashpoint in the current politics of toxic masculinity, guns, white supremacy, and rural resentment. They played a role in the January 6 insurrection-their anti-federal government stance coming into perfect alignment with both far-right militia groups and former President Donald Trump. This rise of the sheriff in national politics and their increasing right-wing radicalization has been assisted by the revival of the so-called Constitutional Sheriff movement, which casts sheriffs as the "last line of defense" between citizens and a libertarian definition of freedom in this country. Such sheriffs have been embraced by white nationalists, the far right, and most factions of the GOP, who seek to attain and maintain power at all costs. More than 95 percent of America's three thousand sheriffs are white men. They employ 25 percent of sworn law enforcement officers. They are the only elected law enforcement, but nearly 60 percent of all sheriffs run unopposed, and because they have no term limits, many serve for decades. They patrol the streets, make traffic stops, execute arrest warrants, and investigate crimes. They run county jails that admit 4.9 million people every year, which puts them in contact with some of the most vulnerable and disenfranchised people in the community. Journalist Jessica Pishko deploys a real gumshoe reporting style and prefers to be in the room to get her story. She's spent hours with the sheriffs she reports on. She's attended far-right rallies where prominent sheriffs blast their rallying cries in order to get a sense of the audiences they're reaching. She has signed up for Constitutional Sheriff training programs to immerse herself in the rhetoric. The result is a ground-shaking revelation about how this militant and unchecked law enforcement contingent sees itself and sees the rest of us"--

How do identity and social circumstances affect experiences of the criminal legal system in the US?It's no secret that factors such as race and socio-economic status will affect a person's experience of life, and contact with the criminal legal system is no different. Drawing on the author's own experience of jail and the criminal legal system, as well as academic literature in the field of carceral studies, this book explores how pre-existing inequities play out and reproduce themselves.Ideal reading for students of Incarceration Studies, Black Studies, African American Studies, Sociology, Cultural History, American Studies, Criminology and Interdisciplinary Studies, this book explores and illustrates the disparities encountered in the criminal legal system of the United States.

This book offers an incisive account of correctional officers¿ daily practices, their role and how they represent themselves in relation to the prison, and by extension, the state. Drawing on ethnographic research undertaken in an Italian prison, Doing Shifts explores how correctional officers¿ perspectives and shared views reproduce and reinforce working behaviors with specific administrative and bureaucratic features. It explores how global penal trends are enacted in a local context and how the prison systems plays into our understanding of institutional and administrative power. It advances the discussion on organizational and institutional power through the lens of social control and street-level bureaucracy literature. It also explores gender variations in the discretional use of correctional officers¿ power. This book has a cross-disciplinary appeal for criminologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists and to policy-makers.

This book examines the lived experienes of death penalty defense lawyers and how they created a legal culture of resistance to the death penalty. It argues that an important social component of death penalty abolition in the state of Colorado was due to the efforts of capital defense attorneys. Specifically, it explores how the death penalty defense lawyers created and embraced a legal culture of resistance which compelled the attorneys to fight tenaciously in order to win life sentences for clients that had committed brutal homicides. A legal culture of resistance does not exist in a vacuum. Thwarting Death traces the lived experience of 15 death penalty defense lawyers from when they were kids all the way up through retirement to explain how a legal culture of resistance forms and lawyers operate within it after being established which in turn can have a massive influence on public policy outside of a courtroom; such as creating a social and political environmentconducive to abolishing the death penalty.

This book examines the female criminals and the prison conditions and issues they must endure through the lens of a case study in the Karachi women¿s prison in Pakistan. With higher events of crime and poverty due to COVID-19, this volume considers the worsening conditions for women inmates as it relates to psychological trauma, access to resources, economic factors, and working against the cultural forces and criminal justice forces that contribute to the unstable state of women¿s prisons. This book includes case studies of women prisoners. Addressing a gap in literature about female inmates in South Asia and Pakistan this volume is ideal for researchers in feminist criminology, women¿s studies, prisoners psychology, and for law enforcement agencies.

This book brings together leading authorities from the fields of international human rights law, criminology, legal medicine, and political science with international human rights judges and UN experts to analyze the current situation of detainees in Europe, the Americas and Africa.This comprehensive volume offers a platform for reflecting on the complexity of the prison problem from a multidisciplinary perspective. The authors address detention-related issues with the aim of generating new ideas that contribute to both academic discussion and critical analysis. Academic dialogue across the globe provides insights into various national and international carceral systems and how they deal with human rights behind bars. At the same time, the critical comparison helps to identify basic needs and practices that can work in multiple settings. The contributors are respected experts and leading scholars in their fields, and each has pursued prison and human rights research over the last decades. However, this is the first time that they have come together in a multidisciplinary academic project.   This book aims to stimulate diverse actors to imagine alternative ways of engaging with persons deprived of their liberty, in academia and in practice. 

This book provides a novel exploration of time and temporality in relation to punishment and criminal sanctioning. It goes beyond focussing on the prison to address punishment more broadly with contributions on punishment in the community (including after periods of imprisonment) and in areas of the criminal justice system which have typically received less attention such as prison transportation between prisons. The collection also includes a focus on temporality in criminal justice policy, and its potential impacts on speeding up justice, as well as the experiential nature of punishment. The book includes contributions from scholars in UK and Europe, with largely original research, and draws on the international literature. It hopes to encourage punishment scholars to consider how ideas from the sociology of time can inform their own research.
