Gedenkboek Inlichtings- en Actie Agenten
Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, nombre de citoyens belges, hommes et femmes, de tous âges et classes sociales, indignés par l’occupation de leur patrie, ont ressenti le besoin de faire « quelque chose ». Ils allaient donner naissance à une forme très particulière de la Résistance. En Belgique occupée, un total de 18.716 ARA – Agents de Renseignement et d’Action – reconnus étaient actifs au sein de 129 SRA – Services des Renseignement et d’Action, pilotés par la Sûreté de l’Etat en exil à Londres, en collaboration avec les services britanniques MI.6, MI.9 et SOE. Leurs terrains d’action? L’espionnage politique, économique et militaire; le sabotage; la guerre psychologique; la propagande; les lignes d’évasion; les informations météorologiques; le soutien aux personnes refusant le service du travail obligatoire; etc. 4.000 d’entre eux au moins ont été arrêtés et 1.815 ont trouvé la mort (abattus, décapités, dans les camps de concentration, ...). Ce livre narre leur histoire et, 70 années après celle-ci, offre enfin un nom à ces inconnus!
Numerous Belgian citizens, men and women from all ages and social classes, were indignant by the occupation of their native country during World War II. As a result, they felt the need ‘to do something about it’ and would evolve to a special form of the Resistance. No less than 18.716 Intelligence and Action Agents (IAA) in 129 Intelligence and Action Services (IAS) operated in occupied Belgium. In cooperation with the British services MI.6, MI.9 and SOE, they were directed by the State Security in exile in London. Their fields of operation were: political, economic and military espionage; sabotage; psychological warfare; propaganda; escape lines; meteorological intelli-gence; support to people who refused the Compulsory Work Service; … At least 4.000 Intelligence and Action Agents were arrested and 1.815 were killed. They were shot to death, decapitated or killed in concentration camps). This book highlights their story and it names each of these unknown heroes, 70 years after the events.

European criminal justice and policy ((GofS) – Governance of Security Research Paper Series, Vol. 7)
Volume 6 focuses on Social conflicts, citizens and policing. Its table of contents is provided below the brief description of the papers comprised in the current book, which constitutes Volume 7, dealing with European criminal justice and policy. Reviewing the policy (background) with respect to different phases in the criminal justice chain, the contributions range from looking into the extension of criminalization in the sphere of trafficking in human beings and labour exploitation to the operability of cross-border execution of sentences involving deprivation of liberty.
Most contributions look into the need to develop a conceptual framework to support future policy making, pointing to the lack thereof with respect to liability of legal persons, ne bis in idem as an EU principle, cross-border effect of disqualifications and cooperation with private security actors.
One contribution looks into the public expenditure in different phases of the criminal justice chain, based on a case study on the public expenditure of Belgian drug policy. Finally, one contribution analyses the specific European and Chinese interrogation rules from a historical and comparative perspective to provide a solid context for the current situation and support future legal reforms.

Social conflicts, citizens and policing ((GofS) – Governance of Security Research Paper Series, Vol. 6)
After no less than five entirely double blind peer reviewed volumes in the GofS Research Paper Series have been released in 2009, 2010 and 2011 the editorial board is proud to issue again a set of two more volumes comprising original and new research papers that have been proofed by international peers
Volume 6, providing new empirical data, theories and analyses on Social Conflicts, Citizens and Policing.
Some articles in Volume 6 focus on the current manifestation of specific socially and/or legally criminalised social conflicts as being radicalisation and informal economy. Some other articles discuss new actors that are involved in governance of security in order to support the conventional actors. The authors refer specifically to citizens and private companies. A last set of articles presents the results of perception studies on trust, punitiveness and the electronic monitoring at home. The participation of students or convicts to scientific research enables a critical reflection on governance of security.
Volume 7 focuses on topical issues in European criminal justice and policy.

EU Criminal Justice, Financial & Economic Crime: new perspectives (Governance of Security Research Paper Series, Vol. 5 )
The new volume, even though addressing a wider variety of topical issues, focuses on European criminal justice and financial and economic crime.
The first cluster of four articles concern European criminal justice matters, in particular relating to EU mutual recognition (conceptualization, unwanted effects in the context of prisoner transfer and sentence execution, and impact for cross-border gathering and use of forensic expert evidence) and concluding with an article on interrogational fairness standards.
A second cluster of five articles addresses financial and economic crime subjects, ranging from informal economy (among street children) to formal/informal economy (vulnerability of the hotel and catering industry to crime) and white collar crime phenomena like (transnational) environmental crime, fraud and corruption.
A last cluster groups a variety of selected, topical issues (juvenile offending and mental disorders, desistance theories and sexually transmitted infections).
The Gofs Research Paper Series aims at disseminating the results of research conducted in the GofS Research Unit (Ghent, Belgium). Full research reports are published in the Gofs Research Report Series.
