This book on crime and justice is motivated primarily by the idea
that individual behaviour is influenced both by self-interest and
by conscience, or by a sense of community responsibility. Forst has
assembled a collection of authors who are writing in four parts:
(1) the philosophical foundations and the moral dimension of crime
and punishment; (2) the sense of community and the way it
influences the problem of crime; (3) on offenders and offences; and
(4) on the response of the criminal justice system.

Terrorism, Crime, and Public Policy describes the problem of
terrorism; compares it to other forms of aggression, particularly
crime and war; and discusses policy options for dealing with the
problem. It focuses on the causes of terrorism with the aim of
understanding its roots and providing insights toward policies that
will serve to prevent it. The book serves as a single-source
reference on terrorism and as a platform for more in-depth study,
with a set of discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
Individual chapters focus on: the nature of terrorism, theories of
aggression and terrorism, the history of terrorism, globalization
vs. clash, the role of religion, nonreligious extremism and
terrorism, the role of technology, terrorism throughout the modern
world, responses to terrorism, fear of terrorism, short-term
approaches and long-term strategies for preventing terrorism,
balancing security and rights to liberty and privacy, and pathways
to a safer and saner 21st century.
Written by a scholar with extensive research experience, this book applies an original approach to assessing criminal justice policies, based on their impact on errors of justice. The study covers the error of failing to bring offenders to justice as well as the errors of imposing costs on innocent people and excessive costs on offenders. Ultimately, it develops a new framework for each major sector of the justice system: policing, prosecution, adjudication and the jury, sentencing and corrections.
