Description
While some European nations share similar crime rates and trends, many differ widely in their approach to criminal justice. And as Europe's internal frontiers prepare to give way to a "single market", issues such as the movement of terrorists, international fraud, and drug trafficking, take on new, significant dimensions. This is the first book to address these issues and attempt a comparative criminology for Europe. The contributors cover a range of subjects including crime prevention, women and crime, the relationship of ethnic minorities to crime and the police, corporate crime, and accountability in the prison system.
