Conferencing: de vraag naar de maatschappelijke betrokkenheid in het herstelrecht |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift voor Herstelrecht, Aflevering 4 2013 |
Auteurs | Inge Vanfraechem, Lode Walgrave en Ivo Aertsen |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
At the end of 2000, a pilot project began in Flanders (Belgium) to offer family group conferencing for juvenile offenders. Since June 2006, this restorative practice – together with victim-offender mediation – has been inserted in the new Youth Justice Act, making conferencing available in all judicial districts in Flanders. Five years later, however, the mediation-services had to conclude that the number of referrals for conferencing remains rather limited. This observation inspired the mediation services to take actions to bring conferencing more to the attention. This article reports on the findings of a study that was part of this process. Based on (1) an analysis of all conferencing-files that were referred between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 31, (2) focus groups with youth court social workers and criminologists working at the level of the public prosecutor and (3) surveys conducted with youth judges, the study aimed to identify and discuss barriers and obstacles within the current referral practice of conferencing in Flanders. |

Criminaliteit en criminologie in een gedigitaliseerde wereld |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift voor Criminologie, Aflevering 4 2013 |
Trefwoorden | cybercrime, cyberspace, criminology |
Auteurs | Dr. Judith van Erp, Prof. dr. Wouter Stol en Dr. Johan van Wilsem |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
This special issue introduces the topic of cybercrime to Dutch criminology. First, it raises the major substantive issues that computer technology involves for criminology, in terms of crime volume, people involved in crime, and the ways that crimes are committed. Also, it deals with research literature on cybercrime on various topics, such as survey methodology, crime prevention and Internet applications open to justice professionals in the fight against crime. Overall, the article concludes that much research remains to be done in this relatively new field. |

Levensbeschouwing, religie en criminaliteit |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift voor Criminologie, Aflevering 2 2013 |
Trefwoorden | religion, crime, Islam, sexual abuse |
Auteurs | Prof. dr. Gily Coene, Prof. dr. Els Dumortier, Prof. dr. Wim Huisman e.a. |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
In contrast to the societal debate, the topic of religion and crime is only scarcely present in contemporary criminological research. A special issue on this theme hence seemed very relevant. Even though the editors launched an open call, the submitted proposals were almost always related to Islam. In this introduction we therefore reflect on questions and themes that, in our opinion, should be included in this special issue on religion and crime. First, we give a short overview of Belgian, Dutch and American research on the missing theme of sexual abuse in the church. Second, we discuss the complex concept of ‘religion’. Third, we assess the complex relationship between religion and crime and reflect on the question of whether and when religion leads to more or, on the contrary, less crime. We end this introduction with a brief overview of the selected contributions for this special issue. |

Irreguliere migratie en illegaal verblijf: beleid, conflicten en contradicties |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift over Cultuur & Criminaliteit, Aflevering 1 2013 |
Trefwoorden | Illegal stay, The Netherlands, criminalization, immigration laws and policies |
Auteurs | Richard Staring en René van Swaaningen |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
The current phase in which Dutch government increasingly criminalizes the illegal residence of migrants is simultaneously characterized by decreasing numbers of illegal migrants in this country. In the process of crimmigration, some newly developed policies indirectly influence daily lives of specific groups of illegal migrants while other policies and laws more directly try to hinder illegal stay. These policies that aim to exclude and ban illegal migrants are continued even though they are increasingly criticized by academics and divergent (inter)national actors. These policies and laws can be contradictory, sometimes conflict with international treaties, and lead to unforeseen and undesirable outcomes in which human dignity is challenged. |

BoevenbiografieënEen inleiding op dit themanummer |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift over Cultuur & Criminaliteit, Aflevering 3 2012 |
Trefwoorden | biography, convict criminology, narrative method, disqualified knowledge |
Auteurs | Frank van Gemert en René van Swaaningen |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
Biographies of ‘criminals’ are an immensely popular genre. As ‘true crime’ stories they are generally found on the shelves of fiction literature. In this article the authors examine their cultural criminological significance. First, they examine what makes a ‘good’ biography, analyse how biographical material is used in the work of people like Robert Park and his Chicago School, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu and indeed historians. Then the authors list different traditions of criminal biographies. They conclude by arguing that ‘good biographies’, i.e. biographies that are both sufficiently emic and offer enough context information, have a lot to offer, because they show ‘the other side’ of criminology, provide information that cannot be obtained through strictly scientific methods and counter the reductionist images prevailing in the discipline. |

De sociale rol van het geheim: inleiding |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift over Cultuur & Criminaliteit, Aflevering 2 2012 |
Trefwoorden | disclosure, research of secrecy, cultural criminology, meaning |
Auteurs | Dina Siegel |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
In cultural criminology, we talk about crimes as secrets and secrets as crimes. There is a close relationship between criminality and secrecy. The unravelling of secrets can help us discover the meaning criminals attach to their actions and contacts. Secrets have always been a topical issue, as they are strongly embedded in our social world. Secrecy used to be functional in times of war and under dictatorships as a symbol of political and/or religious protest. Today, however, secrecy is most often associated with illegality and criminality. It is not easy to study secrets and secrecy, and for this reason criminological research requires specific, mainly ethnographic, research methods. |

Het HekDe productie van veilige ruimte |
Tijdschrift | Tijdschrift over Cultuur & Criminaliteit, Aflevering 1 2012 |
Trefwoorden | space, security, gated communities, criminology |
Auteurs | Willem Schinkel en Wouter Vanstiphout |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
This issue is concerned with what this introduction calls the production of secure space. It thematizes the relationship between subjective safety or insecurity and space. As a prism for the analysis of this relationship, the issue focuses on the phenomenon of (semi) gated communities. As most of the contributions show, subjectively experienced insecurity is often but one factor in the formation of gated communities and other ‘gated’ forms of living. In thus focusing on the motives of middle class residents for gated forms of living, this issue departs with the dominant strand in ‘administrative criminology’, which partakes in an increasing localization and depoliticization of issue of crime and safety. |
