Although a well-known phenomenon in the U.S., street gangs and
other violent and criminal groups_including racist groups_exist
also in European cities and countries, and are of increasing
concern in global law enforcement. The eminent contributors to this
volume present valuable new data on European youth gangs,
describing important characteristics of these groups, and their
similarities and differences to American gangs. Their findings from
the Eurogang Research Program compare European and American gang
interventions, and highlight the impact of immigration and
ethnicity, urbanization, national influences, and local
neighborhood circumstances on gang development in several European
countries. It is an important resource on crime, delinquency and
youth development for criminologists, sociologists, youth workers,
policy makers, local governments, and law enforcement
professionals.
This comprehensive reference work presents an in-depth analysis of
juvenile justice systems across the world. The second edition of
this Handbook has been updated with 13 new chapters, now covering a
total of 34 countries, across North and South America, Europe,
Asia, Africa, and the Middle East from an international and
comparative perspective. The International Handbook of Juvenile
Justice is the result of research conducted by a group of
outstanding scholars working in the field of juvenile justice. It
reflects a collective concern about trends in juvenile justice over
the past two decades, trends that have begun to blur the difference
between criminal and juvenile justice. Also new to the second
edition, each chapter is formatted to increase the comparative
aspect of the book, highlighting: * The legal status of juveniles *
Age of majority * The country's stance toward the UN Committee on
the Rights of the Child * Trends in juvenile crime over the period
2004-2014 * Causes of juvenile crime * Policing and juveniles *
Courts and juveniles * Custodial rules for juveniles (detention,
prison, mixing juveniles with adults) * Alternative sanctions for
juveniles: home confinement, restorative justice, restitution, etc.
* Differences in treatment of boys and girls This seminal work
highlights similarities and differences between the various
systems, and will be an important reference for researchers in
criminology and criminal justice, particularly interested in
juvenile delinquency and youth crime, as well as related
disciplines like sociology, social work, and public policy.

Investigations of the oxygen carriers range from the
characterization of natural populations to measurements of tenths
of nanometer distances between atoms. The scope is so great that
few biologists and biochemists can fully comprehend the primary
literature in its entirety. In addition, the findings of the past
two or three decades have advanced the field so rapidly that a
truly current account is not readily accessible to a general
audience. In recognition of the problem a symposium was held and
its proceedings published in the American Zoologist in 1980.
Although it included several research reports, most of the
contributions were intended to summarize then state-of-the-art
information on molecular structure and respiratory function at a
level that could be understood by biologists and biochemists who
are not experts on our subject. Judging from the reprint requests
with which the authors were inundated, the assessment of need had
been accurate. I believe that the need for an update, which is
wholly focused on communication to the general audience, is even
greater in 1992. I therefore asked the authors of this volume to
address individuals who might otherwise turn in vain to an advanced
textbook of physiology or biochemistry. I have, of course,
requested a more comprehensive coverage than would be possible in a
general text, but one that is not more parochial. Just as textbooks
differ vastly in the level at which their subject matter is
presented, so the level of non-expertise was conceived differently
by the contributors to this volume.
The principles, procedures, and policies applicable to hiring are
reviewed by this book to assist in minimizing litigation risks for
employers and acquainting employees with these employer procedures
to protect their disclosures of non-job-related information. Areas
covered include the hiring process, pre-employment screening
fundamentals, data verification, and federal and state statutes
affecting the hiring process.

Gangs are multifaceted and varied, so any attempt to understand
them cannot be restricted to a singular approach. On Gangs provides
a diverse and comprehensive survey of the available theories for
understanding this social issue as well as the broad range of
responses to it. The authors look at the many influences on gangs'
operation, growth, prevention, and enforcement. The authors provide
different criminological, psychological, and sociological
approaches to gang studies, including interviews with past and
current gang members. On Gangs presents the core issues for
understanding gangs, including emerging topics like prison gangs,
gender and gangs, and international gangs. There is also a focus on
policing, legislation, and punishment. Weaving together research
and policy findings to address the causes, contexts, and
consequences of gangs, the authors address topics including
joining, resisting, and leaving gangs, and how gangs operate in
communities and institutions. An authoritative and sweeping tour of
gang scholarship, On Gangs showcases the critical evidence-based
solutions in prevention, enforcement, legislation, and
intervention. The authors seek to answer the question: How do we
effectively deal with gangs and gang membership?
In the field of criminal justice, public policy is designed to
address the problems brought on by criminal behavior and the
response to that behavior. However, too often, the theories
carefully developed in the academy fail to make their way into
programs and policy. The editors and contributors to this second
edition of Criminology and Public Policy highlight the recent
development of "translational criminology" to address the growing
movement in criminology to use the results of criminological
research and theory to better inform policy and practice. The
essays in Criminology and Public Policy propose an in-depth look at
both theory and practice and how they are integrated across a
number of key criminal justice problems-from racial and
environmental concerns to gun control and recidivism rates as well
as police use of force and mass incarceration. The end result is an
essential volume that blends both theory and practice in an effort
to address the critical problems in explaining, preventing,
responding to, and correcting criminal behavior. Contributors
include: Robert K. Ax, Michelle N. Block, Anthony A. Braga, Rod K.
Brunson, Jennifer Carlson, Ronald V. Clarke, Shea Cronin, Megan
Denver, Kevin M. Drakulich, Grant Duwe, Amy Farrell, Cheryl Jonson,
Charis E. Kubrin, Justin Kurland, Megan Kurlychek, Shannon

Pyrooz and Decker pull apart the bars on prison gangs to uncover
how they compete for control. While there is much speculation about
these gangs, there is little solid research. This book draws on
interviews with 802 inmates - half of whom were gang members - in
two Texas prisons; one of the largest samples of its kind. Using
this data, the authors explore how gangs organize and govern, who
joins gangs and how they get out, the dark side of gang activities
including misconduct and violence, the ways in which gang
membership spills onto the street, and the direct and indirect
links between the street and prison gangs. Competing for Control
captures the nature of gangs in a time of transition, as prison
gangs become more horizontal and their power is diffused across
groups. There is no study like this one.
