About the book:
In nowadays’ globalised society an international exchange of
ideas and views is indispensable within the field of social sciences,
including criminology and criminal justice studies.
The Research Group Governance of Security wants to foster
contemporary international discourses on issues of crime and crime
control. Therefore, GofS started a Research Paper Series, combining
theoretical and empirical articles on issues reflecting the research
activities of GofS. This research group is collaboration between
Ghent University and Ghent University College in Belgium. GofS is
concentrating its research around the study of administrative and
judicial policy that has been developed with respect to new issues
of crime and insecurity.
Volume 3 provides new empirical data, theories and analyses on
Safety, Societal Problems and Citizens’ Perceptions. Some articles
in Volume 3 focus especially on issues of conceptualisation and
measurement of key constructs in the study of security in its
broadest meaning (from fear of crime to corruption) some articles
present tests of theoretical models derived from theoretical
criminology, and finally some articles focus on different institutional
reactions towards crime and drug-related problems (e.g. policing,
the conflict of interests between private companies and authorities
and restorative justice).
