Reseña del editor:

About the Book: This book, the second of a three-volume edition of papers by experts from over 20 countries, makes available the results of 19 studies on fear of crime and punitiveness in Western and Eastern Europe, South America, Japan and South Africa. In Part One, the relationships between insecurity, politics and the media are illustrated, and the influence exercised on crime policy by public opinion and media reporting is analyzed. Part Two shows that the results obtained when assessing feelings of insecurity and punitive attitudes depend to a great extent on the methodology used. The concept of punitiveness is a complex one, and the crucial question is to determine what should be measured, and how it should be measured. The reader will find here the results of surveys from Poland, Greece, Spain, Estonia, Costa Rica, Serbia and Croatia. Part Three offers studies of the development of criminal legislation in Turkey, Japan, Russia, France and South Africa. These show a common tendency toward more punitive legislations, especially for serious crimes. Content/Inhalt: Contents: Kury, Helmut & Shea, Evelyn: Punitivity and Insecurity An Introduction ; II.1.
