Resettlement and citizenship in Iceland
Out in the cold? The experiences of foreign national prisoners in Iceland's open prisons
Explaining the collapse of the prison population in the Netherlands
Between 2005 and 2015 the Dutch prison population decreased by 44 percent. Such a rapid yet sustained reduction in the number of prisoners has no parallel in the Western world in this period. What are the factors that underlie this unique development? This article charts the decline of prisoner numbers in the Netherlands and considers areas that may account for it. It takes a systemic approach which considers publicly available data that has invo…
The Transnational Prisoner
We are currently witnessing the potential emergence of a new type of transnational prisoner. This involves deals signed between national governments that allow those convicted in one country to serve their sentence in another. Such a deal already exists between the Netherlands and Belgium. At present, finishing touches are applied to a similar agreement between the Netherlands and Norway. This article examines recent penal policy in Norway and th…
Howard, Pratt and Beyond
Prison visits by academics are controversial. While they can provide an insight into penal practice, prisoner researchers warn against such visits as spectacles of degradation. In this article I examine the value of a series of prison visits for comparative research. Drawing on my own experiences and those of, among others, John Howard and John Pratt, I argue that prison visits, if ethically conducted and reflectively considered, offer benefits f…
Globalisation criminal law and criminal justice
The cognate areas of criminology and criminal justice have a strong tradition of operating within national boundaries.1 However, the last 15 years have heralded a change with increased amounts of s
Riot, Unrest and Protest on the Global Stage
In this collection, leading international scholars examine riots and protest in a range of countries and contexts, exploring the major social transformations of rioting and the changing dynamics, inte
Globalisation and the Challenge to Criminology
Nearly half a century separates the writing of Theodor Adorno and Michael Ignatieff, and their sober though not pessimistic perspective on gross human rights violations and cruelty. Both write under the shadow of genocide and mass atrocities. The Holocaust was central to Adorno’s philosophy and social theory; for Ignatieff, the genocides in former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, as well as the failure of the international community to prevent or intervene…
The moderating effect of emotional intelligence on the reduction of corruption in the Nigerian Police
This study investigated the moderating effect of emotional intelligence on the reduction of corruption in the Nigerian Police. Three hundred police officer participants (mean age, 35.4) purposively and randomly selected from three State Police Command areas participated in a six‐week quasi‐experiment in which two existential–phenomenological counselling techniques (focusing on locus of control and self‐efficacy) were used as interventions. Two in…

Global forces and local effects in youth justice
Effective Practice in Mental Health Diversion and Liaison
Many criminal justice mental health diversion and liaison teams are under threat of extinction. Nacro (2005) notes a steady decline in their number, despite the fact that these schemes in principle provide a valuable service and can fit any social inclusion or crime preventative agenda. In order for such teams and schemes to thrive they need to be strengthened urgently, a point concurred with by Jack Straw when he asked Lord Bradley to undertake …

The ebb and flow of criminal justice in the Netherlands
Under Siege
Over the last 40 years public views concerning voluntary life-ending behaviours have changed. The notion of medical doctors being involved in the death of patients who explicitly request it was widely rejected until the 1960s, but now, at least in general opinion polls, it is quite widely accepted. For instance, in Australia, in 1962, only 42% agreed to the sanctioning, in principle, of physicians ending the life of a terminally ill patient furth…
The legalisation of euthanasia and assisted suicide
The Politics of Discontent
Criminal justice policy in the Netherlands has traditionally been characterised by a great deal of stability but recent crises have fuelled a public mood of discontent and disarray. The most notable event in this regard has no doubt been the assassination of populist politician Pim Fortuyn in May 2002. This article discusses some of these crises, the governmental response to them, and examines how criminal justice is evolving under an emerging Du…
League Champions in Mid Table
The Netherlands has traditionally been known for having perhaps the mildest prison policy of the Western world in terms of prisoner numbers and prisoner treatment. However, over the last 15 to 20 years a dramatic change has taken place. The number of detention years has steadily increased since 1985; subsequently an extensive prison building scheme was launched, which resulted in more than double the number of prison cells. The landmark change in…
