Book Description
This unique volume collects articles and contributions to edited books published throughout his distinguished career by Professor Cyrille Fijnaut, one of the world's leading experts in the fields of organised crime, security and criminology. It makes clear what issues the author systematically explored over the years and how he helped to shape the fields in which he has worked, and continues to work. The texts, reflecting the author's profound understanding of these complex fields and wealth of experience on a practical level, are presented according to topic. In addition, the volume offers English translations of seminal articles published originally in Dutch, thus making these important texts accessible to international scholars for the first time. The volume thus constitutes a unique and indispensable resource for scholars and practitioners, inside and outside the Netherlands.

Book Description
L’ouvrage rassemble des communications bilingues (anglais-français) issues du colloque tenu à l’université de Rouen sur la représentation filmique de la criminalité aux États-Unis de 1929 à 1951. Les liens d’Hollywood avec le crime organisé (mafia urbaine, grand banditisme …) posent diverses questions : l’héroïsation hollywoodienne du gangster, devenu le vecteur d’un nouveau système de valeurs, ne tend-elle pas à apparenter la transgression à un jeu ? L’esthétique de la violence n’accroît-elle pas la fascination des jeunes pour toute déviance, légitimant la mort virtuelle-réelle comme unique solution en cas de conflit ? Les studios hollywoodiens fondent-ils leur puissance et leur légitimité sur la diffusion de valeurs illicites ? Le recueil montre tout d’abord que la diffusion de ces nouveaux comportements répond à des choix économiques ; puis il aborde les rapports entre idéologie et société, traite ensuite de la censure et enfin réexamine l’esthétique de la violence.

Book Description
Published in 1999, this book focuses on organized crime as a worldwide phenomenon that has taken great advantage of enabling technology in banking, communications and transportation to build what is probably the first true 'virtual' corporation in the world. It looks at organized crime as a threat to national and international security ironically stemming, in part, from the collapse of the Soviet empire that provided an already thriving, ruthless and well-organized system of graft, corruption and crime with a new lease of life and also unleashed it on to the world scene. Organized crime is also seen as a system of transnational alliances with the potential to destabilize democratic values and institutions; distort regional, if not worldwide, economies; and subvert the international order by allying itself with terrorist organizations, rogue states and developing countries in search of rapid industrialization and market dominance.

Book Description
Organized crime is now a major threat to all industrial and non-industrial countries. Using an inter-disciplinary and comparative approach this book examines the nature of this threat. By analysing the existing, official institutional discourse on organized crime it examines whether or not it has an impact on perceptions of the threat and on the reality of organized crime. The book first part of the book explores both the paradigm and the rationale of policy output in the fight against organized crime, and also exposes the often ‘hidden’ internal assumptions embedded in policy making. The second part examines the perceptions of organized crime as expressed by various actors, for example, the general public in the Balkans and in Japan, the criminal justice system in USA and circles within the international scientific community. Finally, the third part provides an overall investigation into the realities of organized crime with chapters that survey its empirical manifestations in various parts of the world. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, criminology, security studies and practitioners.

Book Description
In 1994 the School of Criminology, a part of the Department of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminology in the Faculty of Law of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, celebrated the 25th anniversary of its study programme. To give added lustre to this landmark in its history, the Institute accepted the invitation from the International Society of Criminology to organise the 49th International Course of Criminology. The title of the course was: Changes in Society, Crime and Criminal Justice in Europe. A challenge for criminological education and research'. This course explored two themes, both of which are likely to be the focus of debate in criminal policy in the near future: crime and insecurity in the city, and international organised and corporate crime. The presentation and discussion of both themes followed two main approaches. Lectures and seminars focused on the analysis of the nature, the quantity and the development of the phenomena, and meetings were focused on the policy needed to gain control of these phenomena. Moreover, attention was paid to technical and ethical problems which show up at the moment that empirical research is carried out. This publication brings together the main part of the introductory lectures. Part one relates to the theme of crime and insecurity in the city; the second part contains the lectures on international organised and corporate crime. Together both parts present a good picture of what was explained and commented on during the Course, especially in relation to important European developments concerning crime, criminal justice and criminal policy. This book will become an important source of inspiration for both criminological educationand research.

Book Description
En quelques dizaines d’années, Internet et les technologies numériques ont profondément changé la société. Ils ont aussi révolutionné la façon d’envisager la criminalité et le travail de ceux qui luttent contre elle, qu’il s’agisse de rechercher les preuves des infractions sur de nouveaux supports ou encore d’appréhender de nouvelles activités délictueuses voire criminelles. La cybercriminalité et l’abus des technologies numériques suivent et, parfois, précèdent le rythme des évolutions techniques. Pour accompagner ce progrès et protéger la collectivité, il est important de bien comprendre cette criminalité et de l’anticiper. Cet ouvrage en expose les phénomènes, les technologies et les pratiques. Il dresse le profil des criminels, présente la législation et les modes de coopération et propose des pistes d’amélioration de la lutte contre la cybercriminalité.
