Drug problems present sharp challenges for policing and democracy
in the European Union. Across Europe, there has been a
'harmonisation' of tougher anti-trafficking measures (exceptional
legal powers, more intrusive policing methods, cooperation on
intelligence). Yet there is diversity in national and city-level
policies on drug users (often stressing social integration rather
than punishment). These hard/soft policies towards
traffickers/users collide at 'open drug scenes', invoking disparate
and often volatile responses. The collection presents vivid
experiences of drug policy-making at city, regional, national and
Union levels. It goes on to examine future prospects for drug
control within the EU, in confederal and intergovernmental
contexts, following the Union's 1996 Conference. Finally,
international dimensions are examined. Action against money
laundering is both commended and criticised. EU policies on trade,
development and drug control in the Andean region are examined,
together with the somewhat mixed prospects for drug enforcement in
the context of EU enlargement.
This collection presents vivid experiences of drug policy-making at
city, regional, national, and Union levels.
This volume brings together scholars and practitioners specialising
in juvenile justice from the US and Europe alongside scholars from
Africa and Asia who are working on human rights issues in
developing countries or countries in transition. The book presents
two types of papers: descriptive and analytical academic papers on
whole systems of juvenile justice or aspects of those systems
(e.g., aftercare, restorative justice, etc.) and papers which deal
with efforts to promote reform through international activity (PRI,
DCI, DIHR), and through efforts to utilise modern theory in
national reforms in developing countries (Malawi, Nepal, and
Serbia) or in countries experiencing current or recent political
and systemic changes or developments (South Africa, Germany, and
Poland). The volume is also intended to throw light on recent
trends in juvenile crime in various countries, the relationship
between actual developments and popular and political perceptions
and reactions to such developments (including efforts to find
alternatives to the incarceration of young offenders). A streak of
new moralism is clearly discernable as a counteracting force
against more humane reform efforts. The volume throws light on
developments in the actual parameters of juvenile offending, public
and political demands for security and public intervention, and
measures to provide interventions which are at the same time
compatible with international human rights instruments.
This volume brings together scholars and practitioners specialising
in juvenile justice from the US, Europe, alongside scholars from
Africa and Asia who are working on human rights issues in
developing countries or countries in transition. The book thus
presents two types of papers, the first being descriptive and
analytical academic papers on whole systems of juvenile justice or
certain parts thereof (e.g., aftercare, restorative justice, etc.).
These topics are presented as essential for the development of new
juvenile justice systems. The second group of papers deal with
efforts to promote reform through international activity (PRI, DCI,
DIHR), and through efforts to utilise modern theory in national
reforms in developing countries (Malawi, Nepal, and Serbia) or in
countries experiencing current or recent political and systemic
changes or developments (South Africa, Germany, and Poland). The
volume is also intended to throw light on recent trends in juvenile
crime in various countries, the relationship between actual
developments and popular and political perceptions and reactions to
such developments, including the efforts to locate effective
alternatives to the incarceration of young offenders. At the same
time as the search for such alternatives is being intensified
through international exchange and experimentation, the
amelioration of harsh measures against juvenile law violators is
often countered by political and public outcries for security and
demonstrative public intervention against misbehavior. A streak of
new moralism is clearly discernable as a counteracting force
against more humane reform efforts. The volume throws light on
developments in the actual parameters of juvenile offending, public
and political demands for security and public intervention, and
measures to provide interventions which are at the same time
compatible with international human rights instruments.
