Bringing together a range of important new research findings, this book provides a clear account of the effects and incidence of heroin use in Britain, the policies presently deployed to combat it, and the broader patterns of production and distribution of the drug. The authors relate heroin use to other drug abuse and show many of the assumptions that underlie current policy to be erroneous proposing the elements of an alternative policy agenda. Essential reading for all concerned with the drug problem. ...I would enthusiastically commend the book to anyone with a basic working knowledge of the drug field who needed stimulation for a thought provoking weekend.'

The authors of "Traffickers" reject the conventional idea that drug trafficking is dominated by large criminal organisations. Big traffickers, the mafia, cartels - these are myths, nourishing the popular imagination and stimulating advances in law enforcement. "Traffickers" exposes the diversity of drug trafficking today, and provides an account of how police operations work. It includes: accounts of the development of drug markets from the 1960s to the 1990s, a discussion of the evolution of new policing methods, including secret intelligence development operations, insider views on the development of a national detective agency for Britain and extended extracts from a hitherto unpublished and confidential report from the Association of Chief Police Officers. This book should be of interest to students of criminology, addiction, social policy, politics and law.

Traffickers presents new findings into the most mythologised and least understood area of crime and law enforcement. The chamelion reality of the world of drug trafficking is described in the words of traffickers and detectives. Drug enforcement combines the banal and spectacular in surveillance, covert operations and criminal intelligence. The war on drugs is a harbinger of wider changes in the organisation of policing and international cooperation. Traffickers explores the struggle that transforms policing and punishment as it stimulates the imagination.

The New European Criminology gathers together leading criminologists from all over Europe to consider crime and responses to crime within and across national borders. For the first time it allows students to experience the most exciting work in European criminology and to compare approaches to crime in different parts of Europe. The five sections of the book look at: * the effects of European harmonisation on crime * criminal justice, law enforcement and penal reform * organised crime, from the Mafia in Italy to drug running in the Balkans * local crime in international contexts * possible future directions for criminology and some suggestions for a new criminology of war.

Green Cultural Criminology: Constructions of Environmental Harm, Consumerism, and Resistance to Ecocide (New Directions in Critical Criminology)

Over the last two decades, "green criminology" has emerged as a unique area of study, bringing together criminologists and sociologists from a wide range of research backgrounds and varying theoretical orientations. It spans the micro to the macro―from individual-level environmental crimes and victimization to business/corporate violations and state transgressions. There have been few attempts, however, to explicitly or implicitly integrate cultural criminology into green criminology (or vice versa).  This book moves towards articulating a green cultural criminological perspective. Brisman and South examine existing overlapping research and offer a platform to support future excursions by green criminologists into cultural criminology’s concern with media images and representations, consumerism and consumption, and resistance. At the same time, they offer an invitation to cultural criminologists to adopt a green view of the consumption landscape and the growth (and depictions) of environmental harms.  Green Cultural Criminology is aimed at students, academics, criminologists, and sociologists with an interest in green criminology and cultural criminology: two of the most exciting new areas in criminology today.

Brisman, Avi

Building on the success of the second edition, Criminology: A Sociological Introduction offers a comprehensive overview of the study of criminology, from early theoretical perspectives to pressing contemporary issues such as the globalization of crime, crimes against the environment and state crime.  Authored by an internationally renowned and experienced group of authors in the Sociology department at Essex University, this is a truly international criminology text that delves into areas that other texts may only reference. This new edition will have increased coverage of psychosocial theory, as well as more consideration of the social, political and economic contexts of crime in the post-financial-crisis world. Focusing on emerging areas in global criminology, such as green crime, state crime and cyber crime, this book is essential reading for criminology students looking to expand their understanding of crime and the world in which they live.
