Crime in Europe cover

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.

`.. A remarkable tour de force ... many thoughts are inspired by this excellent collection of papers ... They present a most useful and comprehensive survey of trends and developments in (mainly) Western European countries, and cover a wide range of criminological and penological matters.' - British Journal of Criminology
