Kriminalitet

John Parrington: Are criminals born or made?

Note: John Parrington looks at new research that claims to show that biology, rather than circumstance, causes crimes.
 

Paul Blackledge: Book review: Irrational records
International Socialism Journal nr. 127, jul 10 – side 217
Note: Terry Thomas, Criminal Records: A Database for the Criminal Justice System and Beyond (Palgrave, 2007), £45
In this important, historically informed mapping of contemporary criminal records policy Terry Thomas overviews the emergence and growth of criminal records from the Victorian period through to the present day to illuminate the modern system as a whole.
 

Charlie Lywood: Det er et frygteligt samfund, der lever i frygt
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 298, jun 10 – side 6
Note: Før 1990 var retspolitikken en politisk ørken for nørder og eksperter og slet ikke et politisk slagsmål. I dag er alle „hard on crime“ – minus Enhedslisten og De Radikale. Alle de store partier overgår hinanden i at foreslå hårdere straffe og bevilger gerne millionbeløb til politiet uden skygge af argumentation for om det er nødvendigt.
 

Bekæmp kriminalitet – gå imod hårdere straffe
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 297, apr 10 – side 14
Note: En læge der i 8 år har behandlet en patient uden resultater ville begynde at kigge efter en anden behandling.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 287, mar 09 – side 12
Note: Den 12. marts havde Internationale Socialister/ISU i København inviteret til debat om den såkaldte bandekrig. Charlie Lywood, socialist, mangeårig SSP-konsulent og uddannet kriminolog, indledte debatten. Vi bringer hans indledning.
 

Esme Choonara: Women in custody: A shameful record of deaths in prison
Socialist Worker nr. 2096, apr 08 – side 6
Note: The treatment of women in English prisons is "shameful, deplorable and life-threatening", says Marissa Sandler, co-author of Dying On The Inside, a new report into the deaths of women in prison.
 

Tom Behan: Book review: Roberto Saviano: Gomorrah—Italy’s Other Mafia: Insider view of the mafia that shows up the system
Socialist Worker nr. 2093, mar 08 – side 11
Note: Gomorrah has become an international publishing sensation. In Italy it has sold a million copies and it has been translated into 33 other languages. A theatrical version of the book has already been performed, and a major film is currently under production.
 

Charlie Lywood: Knive, visitationszoner og CCTV
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 276, feb 08 – side 4
Note: Det er paradoksalt, at mens fagkundskab kan dokumentere, at antallet af overfald med kniv er i det mindste ikke stigende og sandsynligvis faldende, så lykkes det justitsministeren at komme afsted med radikale lovændringer, som øger staffen betydeligt for besiddelse af ulovlige knive.
 

Sadie Robinson: Oppression lies behind the low rape conviction rates
Socialist Worker nr. 2078, nov 07 – side 9
Note: Tory leader David Cameron last week used the low conviction rate for rape as an excuse to condemn the “moral collapse” of British society. This is the latest way that Cameron has tried to tap into a feeling of social crisis.
 

Patrick Ward: Frontlines: Less lethal weapon?
Socialist Review nr. 318, okt 07 – side 4
Note: In September the Home Office gave permission for a year long trial of taser electric shock weapons to non firearm trained police officers.
 

Donny Gluckstein: Crime: Capital's Punishment
Socialist Review nr. 313, jan 07 – side 12
Note: Politicians and the media have whipped themselves up into a frenzy over the question of crime, and the solutions they put forward involve ever more draconian measures. Donny Gluckstein discusses why inequality, desperation and alienation are key to understanding why capitalism is the primary cause of criminal behaviour.
 

Jesper Juul Mikkelsen: Danskernes syn på straf
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 263, dec 06 – side 11
Note: Det store flertal af politikerne på Christiansborg gentager igen og igen, at vi skal have meget strengere straffe i Danmark. De ledende politikere har i de seneste 10 år været meget fokuseret på at gennemføre stramninger i strafudmålingen.
 

Poul Erik Kristensen: Ingen støtte til mere straf
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 188, dec 00 – side 2
Note: Krav om højere straffe og mere politi har føget gennem luften fra medier og politikere siden dommene mod en gruppe drenge, der begik gruppevoldtægt i Århus.
 

Charlie Lywood: Rockerforbud – det rene galimatias
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 161, jun 97 – side 2
Note: To socialdemokratiske ministre har for nylig på hver sin måde understreget, at der er en lov for de rige og en anden for de fattige.

Phil Gasper: Cruel and unusual punishment: the politics of crime in the United States
International Socialism Journal nr. 66, mar 95 – side 55
Note: Law and order have been the watchwords of the right in the industrialised countries for a generation. Social Democratic and labour parties seem to have accepted the right's terms of debate-just at the moment when the United States is experiencing a catastrophic failure in law enforcement. American socialist Phil Gasper provides a devastating expose.
 

Iain Ferguson: Containing the crisis: crime and the Tories
International Socialism Journal nr. 62, mar 94 – side 51
Note: Crime was to be the stalking horse for a Tory government whose every other policy has failed. But within months of the Tories' get tough policy being announced it all began to go horribly wrong. Now everyone from chief constables to prison officers thinks that the government has got it wrong. Iain Ferguson investigates.
 

John Charlton: Crime and class in the 18th century (Peter Linebaugh: "The London Hanged. Crime and Civil Society in the Eighteenth Century")
International Socialism Journal nr. 54, mar 92 – side 153
 

Ian Taylor + Laurie Taylor: We Are All Deviants Now – Some Comments on Crime
International Socialism Journal (1st series) nr. 34, sep 68 – side 29
Note: It sometimes appears that IS (and revolutionary socialist movements in general) are so concerned with the minutiae of industrial activity that they have little time for social phenomena which might be just as indicative of the contradictions in modern western capitalist society.
