Crime in Europe - 9781138415911

Taylor & Francis

\""Crime in Europe\"" looks at the patterns of crime and policing in the new Europe of the 1990s. The contributors tackle such issues as terrorism, fraud, and drug trafficking, in an attempt to establish a truly comparative and relevant criminology for Europe. > While some European nations share similar crime rates and trends, many differ widely in their approach to criminal justice. And as Europe's internal frontiers prepare to give way to a `single market', issues such as the movement of terrorists, international fraud, and drug trafficking, take on new, significant dimensions. This is the first book to address these issues and attempt a comparative criminology for Europe. The contributors cover a range of subjects including *crime prevention* women and crime*the relationship of ethnic minorities to crime and the police*corporate crime* accountability in the prison system. > Part One Introduction: Convergence, Diversity and Change Criminology in Europe Frances Heidensohn Divn
