The purpose of this new study, which originates from COST Action A21, is to take forward the existing materials contained in Mapping Restorative Justice and in other European overviews. This new book provides a deeper and more reflective account of the genesis and current significance of restorative justice provisions within 14 selected European countries. Each country contribution therefore addresses in great detail the background and contents of its legislation, both at primary and subordinate level. The authors in this book not only evaluate their legal structures against applicable international standards, but they also analyse the social and political function of restorative justice legislation and they reflect on how different types of regulation further shape and determine restorative justice principles and practices.

‘Images of Restorative Justice Theory’ is the product of serious
work and discussions over four years in an international and multidisciplinary
group funded by the COST Action A 21 ‘Restorative Justice Developments
in Europe’. It provides its readers with contributions by experienced
academics and researchers that deepen the understanding of restorative justice
from the broad perspective of macro-theories down to a focus on micro dynamics
in restorative justice procedures. The position of restorative justice vis-á-vis
the law and the criminal justice system is systematically analyzed and discussed.
Ideas and positions from the Anglophone academic world are confronted or enriched
with the contrasting traditions in political and sociological theory and legal
reasoning of Continental Europe. All this makes this volume a novel contribution
that will stimulate theoretical thinking and further enquiries and debates about
restorative justice.

The impression continuously arises in public debates that paedophile individuals are a homogeneous group of people that society unanimously rejects – and that this is the only way society can react.

This comparative study, however, takes a differentiated view of the paedophiles themselves and of the attitudes of German and British students towards paedophilia. Using stigma theory as a theoretical basis and a data set of 4,000 responses, differing degrees of stigmatisation could be identified between the British and German students. It is this knowledge that leads to a complex discussion on the topic and an appropriate action plan for handling paedophile individuals.

Extended Expert Report

Due to developments in crime, public disorder and society in general, police forces across Europe are increasingly confronted with cross-border cases. As a result, the need for police cooperation intensifies and more and more police practice is based on scientific knowledge. CEPOL asked a group of experts from six European countries to reflect on these developments. Why do senior police officers need research and science? What kind of scientific knowledge fits their professional framework? How do they make use of it?
The report, including expert commentaries, ventures to provide some answers by exploring key questions and aims to open a further discussion about modern day police science and potential paths towards a European approach.

Establishing democratic processes in police-citizen affairs can be considered as major challenge of 21st century policing. Current incidents of citizens complaining about disrespectful, unprofessional, or even violent policing show that managing citizen complaints should not start, when a case is brought to court, but way before, e.g. in form of police oversight, police complaint systems, or restorative justice. Indeed, it should consider the special needs and circumstances of persons with ethnic minority background that are often unaware of their democratic rights and obligations. The present book gives an overview of legal bases and approaches of police oversight and restorative justice as well as best practice approaches of fostering dialogue between police and (ethnic minority) citizens. Moreover, latest research and cases of Germany, Austria, and Hungary are introduced as well as approaches from the US and Australia.

This research publication examines criminal offences pertaining to the smuggling of migrants in international, European, and Austrian laws. It outlines the criminalization requirements under the United Nations (UN) Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, international best practice guidelines developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and relevant European Council Directives and Framework Decisions. The research then identifies and analyses domestic offences relating to smuggling of migrants in Austria and assesses the elements, scope, interpretation and application of relevant domestic offences in the Fremdenpolizeigesetz and the Strafgesetzbuch (Penal Code) against international standards.
The goal of this research is to outline and examine international and domestic offences relating to the smuggling of migrants, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop recommendations to improve the criminalization of this phenomenon. The research seeks to promote awareness of the realities of this crime, analyze the international and Austrian criminal justice response to migrant smuggling, and identify best practice models that can serve to enhance the effectiveness of domestic and international efforts to combat the smuggling of migrants whilst protecting the rights of smuggled migrants.

Restorative Justice Wiederherstellung von ´Gerechtigkeit` durch die Begegnung von Opfer und Täter?

Opfer von Straftaten fühlen sich trotz zunehmender Bemühungen um eine rechtliche Verbesserung ihrer Stellung im Strafverfahren und Berücksichtigung der Tatfolgen, vielfach mit ihren tatsächlichen Bedürfnissen immer noch unbeachtet und in ihren Erwartungen häufig von Justiz und Öffentlichkeit fehlverstanden. Parallel dazu werden die Bedürfnisse des Täters und Erfordernisse, ein Leben ohne Straftaten zu führen sowie die Gründe der Straftat unzureichend hinterfragt. Der Täter scheint seine Chance in der Gemeinschaft verwirkt zu haben. Aber auch die resozialisierende Wirkung des Strafvollzuges scheint verfehlt.

An dieser Kontroverse setzt der Gedanke der „heilenden Gerechtigkeit“, der Restorative Justice, an. Restorative Justice verfolgt das Ziel, das Gleichgewicht zwischen Opfer und Täter nach dem einschneidenden Erlebnis einer Straftat wiederherzustellen. Eine Begegnung beider Seiten soll das Opfer bei der Bewältigung des Tatereignisses mit seinen Folgen stärken und gleichzeitig den Täter in seinem Bemühen um Verantwortungsübernahme unterstützen. Dabei kann der Täter-Opfer-Ausgleich als einen ersten Schritt in Deutschland betrachtet werden, ein restoratives Konzept rechtlich zu verankern.

Die unzureichende Berücksichtigung von Restorative Justice in Deutschland greift die vorliegende Arbeit auf und möchte anhand einer quantitativen Online-Befragung von (potenziellen) Opfern deren Bereitschaft für eine Begegnung und Wiederherstellung von Gerechtigkeit untersuchen.

Die Forschungsarbeit stellt sich der Herausforderung, eine Annäherung an den Themenkomplex der Restorative Justice zu wagen. Sie möchte einen Beitrag leisten, restorative Gedanken bei den Mitgliedern der Gesellschaft anzuregen, um sich wieder mehr auf das eigene Konfliktlösungsgeschick und die demokratische Verantwortung zu besinnen.

Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP) - Validity and Practicability of the German Version

The Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP) is a new personality based instrument created by Cooke et al. (2004) to assess psychopathic personality symptoms in adolescent and adult populations. The current version of the CAPP is the CAPP-Institutional Rating Scale (CAPP-IRS). It was developed to assess psychopathic personality symptomatology in secure treatment facilities such as prisons, civil psychiatric facilities, and forensic psychiatric hospitals over discrete time periods. The rating of the symptoms that are described in the CAPP-IRS is based on the semi-structured CAPP-IRS interview, a file review and collateral information. The 33 symptoms are grouped into six broad domains of personality. For each of the 33 symptoms, a number of trait descriptive adjectives are given. Each of the adjectives are further specified by a definition of behavioural indicators relevant to institutional adjustment. The developers (Cook et al., 2004) claim that the CAPP has several advantages as compared to other measures of psychopathic personality. These are mainly thought to refer to the focus on personality pathology rather than on specific behavioural acts such as criminal behaviour, the comprehensiveness of the instrument and the dynamic concept. Due to the latter advantage, the instrument might be useful not only for the assessment of the lifetime severity of psychopathic personality symptoms but also for the assessment of the severity of symptoms over discrete time periods. The CAPP has already received international interest with several translations underway. Among others, there is a preliminary German translation of the CAPP-IRS (Köhler & Heinzen, 2009). The present study examined the reliability, validity, and practicability of the German version of the CAPP-IRS in a small sample of German adult male forensic psychiatric patients and adult male prisoners of a high security state prison. A correlational research design was used, based on a muliti-trait-multi-method analysis. The study included the evaluation of the relationship of the CAPP-IRS to a measure of psychopathy (PCL:SV), risk for future violence (HCR-20), trait anxiety (STAI-T) and normal range personality dimensions (NEO-FFI), and to measures of Cluster B personality disorders (SCID-II). The promising results of the study are discussed in light of the construct validity of psychopathy. Furthermore, initial experiences in the application of the German Version of the CAPP-IRS in institutional settings (forensic psychiatry and prison) are discussed critically. Implications for future research are provided. „We are delighted to see the progress that scholars in Germany are making with the Germany translation of the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP). Their work makes a significant contribution to the growing international evidence for the validity and utility of the CAPP; we look forward to more exciting findings.“ Professor Dr. David J Cooke and Dr. Carolin Logan (Developers of the CAPP)

an observational study in an international perspective
This book is about police patrol work, especially emergency patrol and community
policing in The Netherlands. The authors first give an empirical based picture
of everyday policing and then examine one of the core problems of policing:
the question what determines what is involved in police patrol work.
Although the fieldwork is carried out in The Netherlands, this study also
is of importance for policing in other countries. By looking across borders,
we do not only learn about policing in a foreign country but we also learn
what are the distinctive characteristics of policing in our home country.
Furthermore, the authors explicitly place their findings in an international
context by comparing their observations with research that has been carried
out in Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Canada and the United States. Based
on their findings the authors provide the reader with an empirical grounded
explanation model that can be used by police chiefs to better understand what
is effective in police management as well as by social scientists to design
future research.

Der Verfasser legt mit diesem Band eine in englischer Sprache verfasste polizeiwissenschaftlich-kriminologische Untersuchung des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit (MSS) der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Korea (DVRK) vor. Den Band leitet eine deutschsprachige Zusammenfassung der von 2012 bis Ende 2016 zumeist in Südkorea durchgeführten Untersuchung ein. Ihr empirisches Fundament bilden mit Hilfe von Sprachmittlern aufgezeichnete Befragungen geflüchteter Mitarbeiter des MSS, der Polizei, anderer Sicherheitsbehörden der DVRK sowie ihrer Opfer. Im Einzelnen behandelt der Band folgende Themen: die Arten des Polizierens des MSS, dessen Polizeikultur, die Anwendung des Strafprozessrechts sowie die damit verknüpfte Genese von Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit und anderer Staatskriminalität, Nachrichtenbeschaffung und das Führen von Informanten sowie mit anderen Sicherheitsbehörden in China durchgeführte Aufklärungs- und Festnahmeoperationen. Außerdem werden die Viktimisierung von in politischen Straflagern Inhaftierten, von aus China repatriierten schwangeren Nordkoreanerinnen und anderen vulnerablen Gruppen untersucht. Der Band belegt das empirische Potential der Polizeiwissenschaft, Zusammenhänge zwischen Menschheitsverbrechen und der von Sicherheitsbehörden produzierten formellen sozialen Kontrolle deutend zu verstehen.
