Deviance and Crime – Social Control, Criminal Justice and Criminology in Europe (GERN Research Paper Series, nr 5)
With the inauguration of this Research Paper Series, GERN intends to monitor and disseminate cutting-edge studies into European security issues, reflecting the result of doctoral research in the framework of the GERN. The series provides an excellent platform from which to survey key emergent topics in the field. With this series the editors and authors are contributing to a better understanding of contemporary questions, presenting recent research results and scientific reflection, by devising new approaches and by re-evaluating the heritage of social sciences in this domain. It implies a new openness with regard to other disciplines and to the normative questions arising from the constructions of deviance and crime, the commission of criminal acts, its consequences and its development, as well as the application of deviance categories and the social or formal reaction to it by actors in the criminal justice system and beyond.
This is the fifth volume stemming from the annual doctoral conferences organized by the GERN in September 2016 in Dortmund, Germany. The selected theme for this Summer School was “Deviance and Crime – Social Control, Criminal Justice, and Criminology in Europe”; reflecting the variety of theoretical frameworks and methodologies covered by the current PhD theses in the field of criminal justice and deviance as well as fresh and new perspectives on deviant and criminal careers, on the history of restorative justice and on crime as the central theoretical concept in criminology.

Desistance, social order and responses to crime. Today’s security issues (GERN Research Paper Series, nr 2)
This book contains a selection of papers, which were presented and discussed at the second GERN Doctoral Conference for PhD students, organised by the White Rose Consortium of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York and held in September 2013 at the University of Sheffield, UK. The book is the result of intensive reflection and engagement between the authors and the editors. The essays in the book coalesce around three themes: desistance from offending; creating and recreating social order; and responses to crime and violence. It contains cutting-edge research by emerging European scholars in the field of ‘Desistance, Social Order and Responses to Crime: Today’s Security Issues’.
The second in this series of Research Papers continues the ambition of GERN to monitor and disseminate important new studies into European security issues, reflecting the result of doctoral research in the framework of GERN.

Restorative policing (CPS 2009 – 2, nr. 11)
This volume describes and conceptualises the incorporation of these restorative practices within day-to-day policing in the Low Countries, together with some practices from England and Wales. Some restorative practices involve the police responding to criminal offences, but passing the case on for mediation to other agencies. In other situations, the police are much more active within the restorative process, taking the role of mediator themselves. So police may undertake mediation, refer cases to mediation and/or signpost the possibility of mediation to the parties, depending on the situation and the schemes in place in each town and country.
Sinds Community (Oriented) Policing (COP) als officieel denkkader werd aanvaard in ons land is meer en meer het besef doorgedrongen dat de politie een brede dienstverlenende opdracht heeft ten aanzien van de bevolking. Op het kruispunt van herstelrecht en gemeenschapsgerichte politiezorg ontwikkelden zich de laatste jaren lokaal een aantal boeiende praktijken. Politiemensen spreken burgers hierbij aan om zelf in onderling overleg op zoek te gaan naar mogelijkheden tot herstel. In dit Cahier worden mogelijkheden van herstelgerichte praktijken op politieniveau verkend. Hierbij wordt gekeken naar praktijken in binnen- en buitenland en worden de resultaten van het beschikbare wetenschappelijk onderzoek onder de aandacht gebracht.
