The internet has launched the world into an era into which enormous
amounts of data are generated every day through technologies with
both positive and negative consequences. This often refers to big
data . This book explores big data in organisations operating in
the criminology and criminal justice fields. Big data entails a
major disruption in the ways we think about and do things, which
certainly applies to most organisations including those operating
in the criminology and criminal justice fields. Big data is
currently disrupting processes in most organisations - how
different organisations collaborate with one another, how
organisations develop products or services, how organisations can
identify, recruit, and evaluate talent, how organisations can make
better decisions based on empirical evidence rather than intuition,
and how organisations can quickly implement any transformation
plan, to name a few. All these processes are important to tap into,
but two underlying processes are critical to establish a foundation
that will permit organisations to flourish and thrive in the era of
big data - creating a culture more receptive to big data and
implementing a systematic data analytics-driven process within the
organisation. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will
appeal to students and scholars in criminology, criminal justice,
sociology, and cultural studies but also to government agencies,
corporate and non-corporate organisations, or virtually any other
institution impacted by big data.

Addressing common myths and misconceptions about sexual offending,
this book highlights the current state of scientific knowledge
about the origins and the development of sexual offending. It
offers a critical overview of current criminal justice policies and
close to 100 years of research on how to best improve these
policies through theoretically-grounded and
methodologically-rigorous research. Focusing on proactive
prevention-oriented strategies, this book revisits popular ideas
about sexual offending through an evidence-based lens, addressing
ideological and populist discourse that has led to ineffective and
reactive policies. It advocates for a clearly defined concept of
the phenomenon of sexual offending to underpin research and
treatment. Uniquely, authors consider sexual offending from the
viewpoint of criminal justice research and practitioners,
incorporating the sociohistorical construction of sexual offending
as a social problem, developmental life course research, and the
impact of social policies. This book is a call for more proactive
research on the origins and the development of sexual offending
over the life course.
