Illegal Drug Use Through The Lifecourse
Hidden older illegal drug users are a seldom researched group; most research on illegal drug users instead focusses on the young or the institutionalised. To counter this trend, this book reports on a study of current 'hidden' users of illegal drugs aged 40 and over. These are individuals who have sustained illegal drug use over the long term, largely away from the gaze of the authorities, whilst living otherwise 'conventional' lives, holding dow…
Bonger, Willem
Willem Bonger was a Dutch scholar best known for his application of Marxism to criminology in his work Criminality and economic conditions , first published in 1905. Not only was this the first attempt to create a Marxist criminology, but Bonger also was the central figure in the establishment of criminology in the Netherlands. His sophisticated view of the socioeconomic causes of crime in capitalism retains its relevance to this day, in particul…
Values in Criminology and Community Justice
The way we think about crime and the way that society responds to it are imbued with values that can determine what is considered important and what gets attention. Sometimes values that are claimed may not be the values expressed in practice, as we see in the multiple and confusing discourses about victims and offenders, punishment and protection, rights and responsibilities. This collection of writings considers values in crime theory, criminal…
Consumer Culture and the 2011 'Riots
This paper argues that in order to be properly comprehended, the 'riots' of August 2011 must be located in the context of an increasingly consumerist society. The suggestion is that the riots represented conformity to the underlying values of a consumerist society, if, momentarily, not its norms. To make this case, the riots are divided into three constituent 'moments'; the initial, the acquisitive and the nihilistic. Themes and ideas from the li…
Mode of Trial Decisions and Sentencing Differences between Courts
About one in five of defendants charged with triable‐either‐way offences is dealt with at the Crown Court. Yet a majority of those committed to the Crown Court because magistrates decline jurisdiction receive sentences which magistrates could have imposed. Among those electing trial, most of those convicted ended up pleading guilty and the research showed that many will have received much more severe sentences as a result of going to the Crown Co…
Dealing with Offenders
Increasing emphasis is being placed both on achieving a better Jit between sentencing policy and public opinion and on meeting the needs and wishes of victims of crime. There has, however, been a dearth of factual information about the views both of the general public and of victims on punishment. This paper presents findings from the 1982 and 1984 sweeps of the British Crime Survey. The British Crime Survey suggests that neither public opinion n…
