Hndbk_CRiME_PPRv6.qxd 8/2/10 20:54 Page 1 CH Crime Handbook on ra Edited by in Fiona Brookman, Mike Maguire, Handbook m Harriet Pierpoint and Trevor Bennett d on b The Handbook on Crime provides analysis and explanation of the nature, extent, patterns and e causes of over 40 different forms of crime, in each case drawing attention to key contem- o porary debates and social and criminal justice responses. It also challenges many popular and Crime official conceptions of crime. The Handbook on Crime is by far the most comprehensive and wide-ranging book of its kind, with contributions from leading authorities in their field. o This book is one of the few criminological texts that takes as its starting point a range of k specific types of criminal activity. It addresses not only ‘conventional’ offences such as shoplifting, burglary, robbery, and vehicle crime, but many other forms of criminal behaviour – often an amalgamation of different legal offences – which attract contemporary media, public o and policy concern. n These include crimes committed not only by individuals, but by organised criminal groups, corporations and governments. There are chapters on, for example, gang violence, hate crime, elder abuse, animal abuse, cyber crime, identity theft, money-laundering, eco crimes, drug trafficking, human trafficking, genocide, and global terrorism. Many of these topics receive surprisingly little attention in the criminological literature. The Handbook on Crime is divided into eight sections, covering: THMF E Edited by d •• F’Craoundve anntdio nfaakl’e psroperty crime •• ODrrugagn-riesleadte adn cdr ibmuesiness crime reaikio ite Fiona Brookman vr n d • Violent crime • State, political and war crimes re • Sex-related crime • Harms, health and safety oi a by reM The Handbook on Crime provides a unique text of lasting value to students, researchers, Bt aB Mike Maguire academics, practitioners, policy makers, journalists and all others involved in understanding P r e go and preventing criminal behaviour. i neuo Harriet Pierpoint nrik The editors pr e em Fiona Brookman is Reader in Criminology and Deputy Director of the Centre for Criminology, to University of Glamorgan; Mike Maguire is Professor of Criminology and Criminology and ti a Trevor Bennett n Criminal Justice at Cardiff and Glamorgan Universities; Harriet Pierpoint is Reader in n t Criminology and Criminal Justice at the Centre for Criminology, University of Glamorgan; Trevor Bennett is Professor of Criminology and Director of the Centre for Criminology, University of Glamorgan Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year 2008 International Achievement of the Year 2009 www.willanpublishing.co.uk Handbook on Crime Handbook on Crime Edited by Fiona Brookman, Mike Maguire, Harriet Pierpoint, T revor Bennett Published by Willan Publishing Culmcott House Mill Street, Uffculme Cullompton, Devon EX15 3AT, UK Tel: +44(0)1884 840337 Fax: +44(0)1884 840251 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.willanpublishing.co.uk Published simultaneously in the USA and Canada by Willan Publishing c/o ISBS, 920 NE 58th Ave, Suite 300 Portland, Oregon 97213-3644, USA Tel: +001(0)503 287 3093 Fax: +001(0)503 280 8832 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.isbs.com © The editors and contributors 2010 All rights reserved; no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the prior written permission of the Publishers or a licence permitting copying in the UK issued by the Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd, Saffron House 6–10 Kirby Street, London EC1N 8TS, UK First published 2010 ISBN 978-1-84392-371-8 paperback 978-1-84392-372-5 hardback British Library Cataloguing-in-Publication Data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library Project management by Deer Park Productions, Tavistock, Devon Typeset by GCS, Leighton Buzzard, Beds Printed and bound by T.J.
