The Routledge International Handbook of Criminology and Human
Rights brings together a diverse body of work from around the globe
and across a wide range of criminological topics and perspectives,
united by its critical application of human rights law and
principles. This collection explores the interdisciplinary reach of
criminology and is the first of its kind to link criminology and
human rights. This text is divided into six sections, each with an
introduction and an overview provided by one of the editors. The
opening section makes an assessment of the current standing of
human rights within the discipline. Each of the remaining sections
corresponds to a substantive area of harm prevention and social
control which together make up the main core of contemporary
criminology, namely: criminal law in practice; transitional
justice, peacemaking and community safety; policing in all its
guises; traditional and emerging approaches to criminal justice;
and penality, both within and beyond the prison. This Handbook
forms an authoritative foundation on which future teaching and
research about human rights and criminology can be built. This
multi-disciplinary text is an essential companion for
criminologists, sociologists, legal scholars and political
scientists.
This book explores the role of self-medication in reflexive
response to victimhood and victim recovery. Based on interviews,
counsellor focus groups and a self-medication survey, it situates
self-medication among the coping strategies that may be set in
formal and informal networks. Victims primarily seek validation,
and this book reviews self-medication with particular focus on how
victim-survivors develop a variety of reflexive responses in their
attempt to carve out a dignified response to victimization.
Validation may be achieved through the pursuit of justice, but many
victims suffer from multiple or complex victimisation, with limited
social chances necessary to achieve a just outcome. Routines,
beliefs and an ordered pathway distinguish a dignified identity and
more or less successful recovery adaptations. This book also
addresses the practical implications of the findings for support
organisations.

This book adopts a critical criminological approach to analyze the
production, representation and role of crime in the emerging
international order. It analyzes the role of power and its
influence on the dynamics of criminalization at an international
level, facilitating an examination of the geopolitics of
international criminal justice. Such an approach to crime is
well-developed in domestic criminology; however, this critical
approach is yet to be used to explore the relationship between
power, crime and justice in an international setting. This book
brings together contrasting opinions on how courts, prosecutors,
judges, NGOs, and other bodies act to reflexively produce the
social reality of international justice. In doing this, it bridges
the gaps between the fields of sociology, criminology,
international relations, political science, and international law
to explore the problems and prospects of international criminal
justice and illustrate the role of crime and criminalization in a
complex, evolving, and contested international society.

This book addresses the process of judicial cooperation in the
field of criminal justice, and poses questions on possible
harmonisation across the European Union. An expansion of European
sovereignty and European jurisdiction relating to criminal matters
- domestic crime as well as transborder crime - should be
considered as an extension of political approximation and
harmonisation by judges of supranational courts and, possibly, by
domestic judges. Therefore, the relationships between the
supranational courts (the European Union's Court of Justice and the
Council of Europe's Court of Human Rights) and domestic courts in
the English and Welsh criminal justice system and the Italian
criminal justice system are explored in detail. The difficult
judicial dialogue between the European and the national strata is
considered. An examination of the lack of a horizontal judicial
dialogue between the two nation-states, combined with an
inconsistent, vertical, judicial dialogue between the nation-states
and the two European courts, highlights the resistance between
national sovereignty and European sovereignty in this area.
