  • Reaching beyond criminal justice to justice

    Open AccessM Greenfield, Letizia PaoliARTICLECriminology & Criminal Justice2025References: 9

    In past publications, we have demonstrated harm’s centrality to crime, by presenting evidence on their relationship that dates to ancient legal systems and spans centuries via Beccaria, Smith, and Mill. In this article, we argue that binding criminology and criminal policy more firmly and explicitly to harm would benefit criminology and criminal policy, not just for the sake of criminal justice , but also for that of justice writ large. We show h…

  • Might there be an inextricable relationship between Economics and Religion in the way countries like in Brazil were offered a path to modernization and development

    Open AccessM GreenfieldARTICLERevista AntHropológicas2025

    Contributions to the study of economic development and modernization in the second half of the twentieth century included little on the role of religion. This paper begins with a statement by the campus director of an American university development project in Brazil making what, at the time, was a shocking statement: that no nation could develop economically, lest their people become Protestant. Six decades later Brazil has a modern economy and …

  • Sample Size Requirements for Simple and Complex Mediation Models

    Open AccessMikyung Sim, Michael Lostumbo et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2022

    Mediation models have been widely used in many disciplines to better understand the underlying processes between independent and dependent variables. Despite their popularity and importance, the appropriate sample sizes for estimating those models are not well known. Although several approaches (such as Monte Carlo methods) exist, applied researchers tend to use insufficient sample sizes to estimate their models of interest, which might result in…

  • The Supply of Doping Products and the Relevance of Market-Based Perspectives

    Letizia Paoli, M Greenfield et al.BOOKThe Architecture of Illegal Markets2017

    This chapter concerns itself with the nature of the supply of doping products and the relevance of market-based concepts, with specific reference to conditions in Italy. Notwithstanding concerns about doping and the role of the criminal underworld in sport, relatively little is known about the supply of doping products. Against this backdrop, we analyze the supply of doping products by revisiting and building on the central findings of an empiric…

  • The harms of human trafficking

    M Greenfield, Letizia Paoli et al.ARTICLEGlobal Crime2016Cited by: 3References: 7

    This article uses human trafficking in Belgium to test a newly developed framework for assessing the harms of crime that has been applied previously to cocaine trafficking in the same country. We chose this criminal activity because of its policy relevance and to address apparent needs for systematic, evidence-based analysis. The framework uses quantitative and qualitative evidence to assess harms to individuals, private-sector entities, and othe…

  • Harm

    Letizia Paoli, M Greenfield et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Crime…2013Cited by: 4References: 6

    Despite the centrality of harm to crime and criminalization and increasing interest in harm as a basis for crime-control policy, there has been little systematic reflection within criminology on criminal harms or their identification, evaluation, and comparison. In this paper, we review the literature on the harms of crime and related concepts, i.e., the perceived seriousness and cost of crime, impact of criminal victimization, and drug-related h…

  • A Framework to Assess the Harms of Crimes

    M Greenfield, V A Greenfield et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology2013Cited by: 8References: 13

    Despite the centrality of harm to crime and criminalization and increasing interest in harm as a basis for crime-control policy, the criminological community has yet done little to systematically reflect on criminal harms or their identification, evaluation and comparison. This paper presents a newly developed framework with which to systematize the empirical assessment of such harms and address at least some of the attendant conceptual and techn…

  • The World Heroin MarketCan Supply Be Cut

    Letizia Paoli, M Greenfield et al.BOOKHalting the Global Flow of Drugs2009

    Heroin is universally considered the world's most harmful illegal drug. This is due not only to the damaging effects of the drug itself, but also to the spread of AIDS tied to its use. Burgeoning illegal mass consumption in the 1960s and 1970s has given rise to a global market for heroin and other opiates of nearly 16 million users. The production and trafficking of opiates have caused crime, disease, and social distress throughout the world, lea…
