This book examines the issues of crime and its control in the
twenty-first century - an era of human history where people live in
an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world - providing
invaluable and first-hand readings for undergraduate and
postgradate students.
This title was first published in 2000: This book provides an
empirical account of social control and deviance in a South Asian
community in Scotland. Focusing on Edinburgh's Pakistani community,
the book examines the social order of this particular community and
the ways it is maintained. It explores the various social
institutions and processes that operate as mechanisms of (informal)
social control within the community. This book also examines the
ways the second generation South Asians relate to their community
and the extent to which they conform, or deviate from its norms.
Criminological social control theory is used as an analytical
framework for explaining deviance. It is concluded that the South
Asian youngsters (boys) who have weak / broken bonds with their
community are more likely to deviate from its norms. The book
further concludes that social control and deviance are intricately
interrelated. While social control defines what is deviance, the
latter has important implications for the former: repeated
occurrence of deviance prompts agencies of social control to
redefine and gradually normalize deviance.
The issue of minority ethnic groups' experiences of the criminal
justice process, and in particular whether they are subject to
disadvantageous treatment, has received much attention in recent
years following high-profile events such as the publication of the
Macpherson report in 1999 and the riots involving British-born
Asian youths in northern towns in 2001. At the same time there has
been a burgeoning body of research evidence about the needs and
experiences of minority ethnic offenders, the behaviour of racially
motivated offenders, and concern with 'What Works' to reduce
recidivism by members of both groups. This book reviews this field,
drawing upon the largest study of minority ethnic probationers ever
conducted in Europe, and seeks to understand the 'stark contrast
between the experience of white and black minority ethnicpeople in
some areas of the criminal justice system'. Part 1 of the book sets
out the context of recent policy, research and practice
initiatives; Part 2 focuses on the needs and experiences of
minority ethnic offenders; Part 3 discusses aspects of recent
practice and policy; Part 4 reviews conclusions and the way
forward. Race and Probation also contributes to the wider debate
about race and crime. The lessons learned will be of key importance
as new arrangements linked to NOMS (National Offender Management
Service) come in to place. It will be essential reading
forprobation trainees and students of criminal justice, for
probation practitioners and managers, and for academics and
researchers in the field.
For some time criminologists have been occupied by the question of
whether crime and crime control differs from country to country and
between cultures? This book addresses the issues of crime and
social control in the 21st century and is designed to provide a
comprehensive account of key issues in comparative. cross-cultural
and transnational criminology. It considers the nature of
comparative and cross-cultural criminology; presents an examination
of crime and social control issues in selected regions or
countries; focuses on the analyses of major forms of transnational
crime and critically examines social control in a transnational
perspective. Transnational and Comparative Criminology provides the
most comprehensive analyses available to students and others
interested issues surrounding comparative and transnational
criminology.
