Pønologi, læren om straf og strafferetlige sanktioner og deres virkning

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.

NY OG OPDATERET 2022 UDGAVE Anstalt 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.

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.

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.

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 thejustifications 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.

Penitentiaries and Reformatories by Felicia Skene is a comprehensive study of the history and development of prisons and reformatories in the United States and Europe. The book examines the origins of penitentiaries and reformatories, the different types of institutions that have been established over the years, and the various approaches to inmate rehabilitation that have been employed. Skene explores the social and political factors that have influenced the design and operation of these institutions, as well as the controversies that have surrounded them. She also provides a detailed analysis of the conditions inside these institutions, including the treatment of inmates, the role of prison labor, and the impact of overcrowding. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of criminal justice and the evolution of prison reform.There are many motives which induce them to seek a shelter without a shadow of repentance for their evil lives. Generally speaking, it is a sudden impulse following some act of cruelty from the wretches among whom they live, or it is the sight of some worn-out companion dying in a workhouse, or some other phase of the temporal penalties of their career. Sometimes it is want succeeding lavish excess, or pain, disease, disappointment, disgust at the miseries which go side by side with their so-called pleasures; these, and a hundred other motives, drive those wayward, impulsive beings to any refuge which may seem to present itself, and the true wisdom, the true charity, would be to take advantage of the motive, be it even evil, which prompts them to escape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the effective methods used in the criminal justice system in the United States to counsel and treat offenders. This new edition outlines innovative approaches to counselling and treatment that focus on recent developments that present new challenges to those practitioners engaged in counselling and treating of criminal and delinquent offenders.The volume is broken down into three sections:Correctional Counseling and Treatment: Past and PresentThe Diverse Roles of Counselors in Correctional TreatmentTreatment Methods Used in CorrectionsIn each section, the chapters address the role of legislation on the corrections process and how it impacts diverse populations of correctional facilities, including juvenile offenders; those with mental illness, addiction and substance abuse problems, or physical and mental disabilities; and homeless populations. Featuring interviews with correctional practitioners, discussion questions, case studies, and application tools, this volume is ideal for advanced undergraduate and early graduate-level students taking for courses in correctional treatment, correctional rehabilitation, or community corrections.

The second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways.

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

Volume 51 is a thematic volume on Prisons and Prisoners. Since 1979, the Crime and Justice series has presented a review of the latest international research, providing expertise to enhance the work of sociologists, psychologists, criminal lawyers, justice scholars, and political scientists. The series explores a full range of issues concerning crime, its causes, and its cures. In both the review and the occasional thematic volumes, Crime and Justice offers an interdisciplinary approach to address core issues in criminology. Volume 51 of Crime and Justice is the first to reprise a predecessor, Prisons (Volume 26, 1999), edited by series editor Michael Tonry and the late Joan Petersilia. In Prisons and Prisoners, editors Michael Tonry and Sandra Bucerius revisit the subject for several reasons. In 1999, most scholarly research concerned developments in Britain and the United States and was published in English. Much of that was sociological, focused on inmate subcultures, or psychological, focused on how prisoners coped with and adapted to prison life. Some, principally by economists and statisticians, sought to measure the crime-preventive effects of imprisonment generally and the deterrent effects of punishments of greater and lesser severity. In 2022, serious scholarly research on prisoners, prisons, and the effects of imprisonment has been published and is underway in many countries. That greater cosmopolitanism is reflected in the pages of this volume. Several essays concern developments in places other than Britain and the United States. Several are primarily comparative and cover developments in many countries. Those primarily concerned with American research draw on work done elsewhere. The subjects of prison research have also changed. Work on inmate subcultures and coping and adaptation has largely fallen by the wayside. Little is being done on imprisonment‿s crime-preventive effects, largely because they are at best modest and often perverse. An essay in Volume 50 of Crime and Justice, examining the 116 studies then published on the effects of imprisonment on subsequent offending, concluded that serving a prison term makes ex-prisoners on average more, not less, likely to reoffend. In 1999, little research had been done on the effects of imprisonment on prisoners‿ families, children, or communities, or even‿except for recidivism‿ on ex-prisoners‿ later lives: family life, employment, housing, physical and mental health, or achievement of a conventional, law-abiding life. The first comprehensive survey of what was then known was published in the earlier Crime and Justice: Prisons volume. An enormous literature has since emerged, as essays in this volume demonstrate. Comparatively little work had been done by 1999 on the distinctive prison experiences of women and members of non-White minority groups. That too has changed, as several of the essays make clear. What is not clear is the future of imprisonment. Through more contemporary and global lenses, the essays featured in this volume not only reframe where we are in 2022 but offer informed insights into where we might be heading. Â

Avi Steinberg is stumped. After defecting from yeshiva to attend Harvard, he has nothing but a senior thesis on Bugs Bunny to show for himself. While his friends and classmates advance in the world, Steinberg remains stuck at a crossroads, his "romantic" existence as a freelance obituary writer no longer cutting it. Seeking direction (and dental insurance) Steinberg takes a job running the library counter at a Boston prison. He is quickly drawn into the community of outcasts that forms among his bookshelves-an assortment of quirky regulars, including con men, pimps, minor prophets, even ghosts-all searching for the perfect book and a connection to the outside world. Steinberg recounts their daily dramas with heartbreak and humor in this one-of-a-kind memoir-a piercing exploration of prison culture and an entertaining tale of one young man's earnest attempt to find his place in the world.

This book explores and addresses body search practices in prison environments from different angles (criminology, sociology, human rights and law) and discusses such practices in different national contexts within Europe. Body searches are widely used in prison systems across the globe: they are perceived as indispensable to prevent forbidden substances, weapons or communication devices from entering the prison. However, these are also invasive and potentially degrading control techniques. It should not come as a surprise, then, that body searches are deeply contested security measures and that they have been widely debated and regulated. What makes theses control measures problematic in a prison context? How do these practices come to be regulated in an international and European context? How are rules translated into national law? To what extent are laws and rules respected, bent, circumvented and denied? And what does the future hold for body searches?

This book explains Japan¿s unique Prosecution Review Commission (PRC) which is composed of eleven lay people selected randomly from voter registration lists. Each of the country¿s 165 PRCs reviews non-charge decisions made by professional prosecutors and determines which cases should be reinvestigated or charged. PRCs also provide prosecutors with general proposals and recommendations for improving their policies and practices. The book analyzes the history and operations of the PRC and uses statistics and case studies to examine its various impacts, from legitimation and shadow effects to kickbacks and mandatory prosecution.More broadly, this book explores a problem that is common in many criminal justice systems: how to hold prosecutors accountable for their non-charge decisions. It discusses the potential these panels have for improving the quality of criminal justice in Japan and other countries, and it will appeal to scholars and students studying prosecution and democracy, criminal justice, criminology, lay participation, justice reform, and Japanese studies.

This edited collection illuminates the weaknesses and strengths of crime reporting across a wide range of countries, with a focus on democratic countries in which the police bear some accountability to citizens.

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.
