Overarching views of crime and deviancy - - ebook

On October 1st 1934 Willem P.J. Pompe (1893-1968), Professor of Criminal Law at Utrecht University between 1928 and 1963, founded the ‘Criminological Institute’ (Criminologisch Instituut) within the Faculty of Law of Utrecht University. Pompe initiated a rather influential academic movement, based on multidisciplinary cooperation between jurists, criminologists and psychiatrists. This academic movement is commonly referred to as ‘the Utrecht School’, which had its heyday in the 1950s. In 1974 – forty years after its formation – the Institute was renamed after its founder: the Willem Pompe Instituut voor Strafrechtswetenschappen. And another forty years later, in 2014, the Institute celebrated its eightieth anniversary. This book is written with the aim of adding lustre to this festive occasion. The central theme chosen for this collection of chapters is crossborder research in the fields of criminal law, penitentiary law, criminology, and forensic psychology and psychiatry. Besides a p…

Financial investigation is not a new invention, but the systematizing of an old and ongoing daily detective`s practise.

The book is intended for practitioners as well as scholars and provides a broad overview of the literature. www.petrusvanduyne.nl

- Good, the bad and the dead: Brian Barnes wordt in de woestijn wakker. Om zich heen vindt hij 8 levenloze lichamen en een auto volgeladen met cocaïne en vier miljoen dollar in contanten. Hij kan zich niets herinneren van wat er is gebeurd of hoe hij daar terechtkwam. Hij is echter niet van plan om deze waardevolle goederen achter te laten. Al snel zetten verschillende partijen de achtervolging in op Brian: drugbaron Danny Perez (Danny Trejo), die zijn geld terug wil, de corrupte sheriff Olson, die het gevonden fortuin ook maar al te graag in handen zou willen krijgen en DEA agent Rooker (Dolph Lundgren).

Europe has the image of a slow moving old lady. However, this is a misleading picture. As a matter of fact, the 'Old Continent' is bristling with life and mobility, and many fear that much of this is of a criminal nature. This criminal mobility is supposed to be aggravated by the accompanying movement of crime-money. It is true, Europe is 'on the move', legally and criminally. But this is all but a new phenomenon. Europe has always been an open space in whichpeople were moving around looking for (illegal) opportunities. This has not changed basically. Some of the wandering luck seekers operate aspredators, looking for objects to steel. Others offer services which areprohibited, either itself or in the way in which they are organised. The oldest of those services being sex. Naturally, the crime-monies from these flexible criminal economic activities have to move too. To block this financial movement an elaborate defence system has been established:the anti-laundering chain of financial …
