Show moreHet aantal gedetineerden met een extremistische achtergrond vormt slechts een klein deel van de totale gevangenispopulatie. Desalniettemin kunnen zij voor aanzienlijke onrust binnen de muren van de gevangenis zorgen en kunnen hun acties serieuze gevolgen hebben. De Amerikaanse onderzoeker en oud-gevangenisbewaarder Mark Hamm (2013) spreekt dan ook treffend over ‘the Spectaculair Few’. In de discussie omtrent deze bijzondere groep gedetineerden is lange tijd de vraag geweest of zij gespreid dan wel geclusterd moeten worden vastgezet (Bovenkerk 2011b; Veldhuis e.a. 2010; Hamm 2011; Neumann 2010; Veldhuis & Kessels 2013; Veldhuis, Gordijn, Lindenberg & Veenstra 2010; Veldhuis 2015; Weggemans & De Graaf 2015). Naast het dilemma van spreiden of isoleren, staat ook hun resocialisatieproces tegenwoordig in het centrum van de aandacht (Weggemans & De Graaf 2015). In dit artikel wordt de detentie van (vermeende) terroristen verder besproken. Om te beginnen wordt, aan de hand van een korte terugblik, de huidige discussie van enig historisch perspectief voorzien. Show less

Show moreSince the second half of the 1990s, the Chinese government has made an intensive effort to control ongoing natural resource losses. In order to curb the loss of arable land and the environmental destruction caused by air and water pollution, central level leadership amended existing legislation, making it stricter and more specific. In addition, the centre organized enforcement campaigns to overcome local resistance against the implementation of the amended laws. In an effort to understand the effects these changes had at the local level, this book details how they influenced compliance with natural resource legislation at Lake Dianchi in Yunnan province. This book combines local case studies with theories about lawmaking, compliance, and enforcement, derived from Western and non-Western contexts. Doing so, it offers a unique body of empirical and theoretical knowledge for those interested in how law functions in China, as well as those interested in the workings of regulatory lawmaking, compliance, and enforcement in a comparative perspective Show less

Show moreIn this PhD study the interface between legal governments and corporations on the one hand, and transnational criminals at the other hand, is analysed in depth. In the first part of the book, a typology of interfaces is developed that can be used to describe interfaces between legal and illegal actors. Furthermore, an analytical model, the so-called lockmodel, is developed with which the 'laundering' of all kinds of transnational crime can be understood. The analysis is based on the literature on transnational crime as well as a range of case-studies. The case studies include e.g. individual arms traffickers, commercial banks, intelligence agencies, charities, bank secrecy jurisdictions etc. The second part of the book discusses the results of an empirical study of the illicit art and antiquities trade that was part of the PhD project and which has hardly been studied before by criminologists. With the collected data, the use of the typology and lockmodel is looked at. It shows that the laundering of stolen art and antiquities can be understood by the lockmodel that was developed on the basis of other crimes. Finally, an extensive overview of the illicit art and antiquities trade is provided. Show less
