    The InsecurityStateCriminal Law Afterthe ASBO

    Peter Ramsay, Lecturer

    in Law, London School

    of Economics

    The Insecurity State offers a

    theoretical explanation

    of the expansive and

    authoritarian trends in

    modern Anglo-American criminal law and policy.

    Taking the iconic ASBO as an archetype, it

    examines the political theory behind the growth

    of criminal law and argues that modern security

    law risks weakening political authority itself.

    The Ethics of Plea BargainingRichard L. Lippke, Senior Scholar, Department of Cr iminal Justice, Indiana

    University

    l Suggests reforms to the current plea bargaining systems, outlining the

    case for its continuation in a revised and restrained fashion

    Plea bargaining is among the most controversial practices within the US

    criminal justice system. It offers the accused less punishment in exchange

    for an admission of guilt and can impose added punishment on those who

    insist on going to trial. This book offers the first extended critical analysis

    of the ethics of the practice.

    CRIMINAL LAW & CRIMINOLOGY

    The Ethics of Capital PunishmentA Philosophical Investigation of Evil and its Consequences

    Matthew H. Kramer, Professor of Legal & Political Philosophy at the University

    of Cambridge, and Fellow of Churchill College Cambridge

    l Presents accessible critiques of the standard arguments advanced for

    the death penalty, making valuable introductory reading for studentsstudying the topic

    l Develops a novel justification for capital punishment that will become

    an essential reference point for future arguments over the practice

    l Anchors the morality of capital punishment in a philosophical theory

    of evil and its consequences that will be of relevance and interest to

    normative ethicists working beyond criminal law theory

    Taking a fresh look at a central controversy in criminal law theory, The Ethics of Capital Punishment presents a

    rationale for the death penalty grounded in a theory of the nature of evil and the nature of defilement.

    An original, essential reference point for future debates on the subject.

    CRIMINAL LAW & CRIMINOLOGY

    Peculiar InstitutionAmericas Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition

    David Garland, Arthur T. Vanderbilt Professor of Law and Professor of Sociology at

    New York University

    Some of [Garlands] eminently readable prose reminds me of Alexis de

    Tocquevilles nineteenth-century narrative about his visit to America; it hasthe objective, thought-provoking quality of an astute observer rather thanthat of an interested participant in American politics...I commend [Garlandscomprehensive analysis] to participants in the political process.

    John Paul Stevens, The New York Review of Books

    l A major new work by a leading writer on the culture and politics of crime

    control

    l Gives a seminal account of the politics of punishment in Americaessential reading for all those

    interested in American society and current affairs

    l Presents a compelling picture of the modern operation of capital punishmentits complex cultural

    meaning and political function

    l Views crime control through the lense of American attitudes to democracyoffering a powerful

    case study of American democratic theory in action

    For Europeans, the endurance of capital punishment is a stark reminder of American otherness.

    The practice is an archaic relic, a hollow symbol that accomplishes nothing, but reflects a punitive,bloodthirsty culturepuritanical in its pursuit of retribution. This new book by a leading social thinker

    sweeps aside the familiar story of abolition and retention; us and them. It recasts the history and

    modern culture of American capital punishment, explaining its endurance as an aspect of the radical

    democracy at the heart of American politics. Shattering prevailing stereotypes, the book forces us to

    rethink our understanding of the politics of punishment in America and beyond.

    l Provides new insights into group theory by

    comparing group participation on the sameissue across three legislative venues (local, state

    see a broad range of citizen interests and how

    mobilization and participation across

    legislatures biases issues and interests

    l Offers a unique perspective on the role of race

    immigration and terrorism to racial profiling,

    issues like incapacitation, jails, drugs, and police

    principally, though not exclusively, on the

    American justice system.

    CRIMINAL LAW & CRIMINOLOGY

    NEW IN PAPERBACK

    The Oxford Handbook of Crime and Public PolicyEdited by Michael Tonry, Professor of Law and Public Policy, University of

    Minnesota Law School

    l Rather than focus on operations of the criminal justice system or the

    causes of crime and delinquency, this volume seeks to understand whyparticular crimes occur and what kinds of public policies might best

    prevent them or minimize harm

    l Twenty-five brand-new essays by a distinguished international team of

    contributors

    l These comprehensive, up-to-date, and authoritative surveys provide a

    primary reference and starting point for further research on criminology, criminal justice, and

    crime control policy

    Using a fresh approach, this Oxford Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of crimes as public

    policy subjects to provide an authoritative overview of current knowledge about the nature, scale, and

    effects of diverse forms of criminal behavior and of efforts to prevent and control them. Michael Tonry, a

    leading authority on criminology, has brought together twenty-four of the most distinguished active

    scholars in the field to present a wide-ranging overview and analysis of violent crimes, property crimes,

    crimes against morality, transactional crimes, and transnational cr imes. Straightforward and accessible,

    individual chapters cover traditional topics such as firearms violence, financial crimes, and organizedcrime as well as emerging subjects like terrorism, crimes against humanity, and internet child

    pornography.

    crime involving very

    large sums of money and the increasingly

    sophisticated and complex methods used by

    criminal groups to hide the illegal sources of

    money from law enforcement agencies, that is, to

    launder the money. It examines the ultimate use

    of such money and the legislative response of

    various countries, including international and

    regional organizations to the menace of money

    laundering.

    Katherine Beckett,

    Professor, University of

    Washington, and Steve

    Herbert, Professor,

    University of Washington

    Banished is an in-depth exploration of new and

    largely-ignored policing tactics that enforce zones

    of exclusion in many American cities. Through an

    exploration of the case of Seattle, Banished charts

    the rise of these new mechanisms of urban social

    control, and provides a thorough and critical

    assessment of their effectiveness.

    Franklin E.Zimring,

    Wolfen Distinguished

    Scholar, University of

    California-Berkeley

    The 40% drop in crime

    that occurred across theU.S. from 1991 to 2000 largely remains an

    unsolved mystery. Even more puzzling then is the

    crime rate drop in New York City, which lasted

    twice as long and was twice as large. In The City that

    Became Safe Franklin Zimring sets off in search of

    the New York difference through a detailed and

    comprehensive statistical investigation into the

    citys falling crime rates and possible

    explanations.

    Discovery of Hidden CrimeSelf-Report Delinquency Surveys inCriminal Policy Context

    Janne Kivivuori, Research Director, National

    Research Institute of Legal Policy, Helsinki, Finland

    Presents a history of the self-report crime survey

    as a method of cr iminological inquiry, describing

    how, during the 1930s and 1940s, a handful of

    US and European criminologists discovered the

    method, thus providing researchers with a

    powerful analytical tool and changing the way

    crime itself was seen.

    RetributivismHas a PastHas It a Future?

    Edited by Michael Tonry,

    Professor of Law and

    Public Policy, University

    of Minnesota Law School

    Retributivism Has a Past:

    Has It a Future? collects

    together essays by

    major figures in punishment theory, law, and

    philosophy and many prominent younger

    contributors. The book engages with

    contemporary ideas about restorative justice,

    therapeutic jurisprudence, rehabilitation of

    offenders, and mandatory punishments that are

    difficult to reconcile with retributive analytical

    frameworks. It is crucial to understand why and

    when individuals can be deprived of their

    property, their liberty, and their lives in the

    pursuit of collective interests, and this book

    grapples anew with contemporary debates

    over these perennial questions.
