Police Investigative Interviewing. A new Training Approach (Reeks Politiestudies, nr. 3)
€ 27,00
Police forces worldwide employ a large number of police detectives who are responsible for criminal investigations. Their work depends on the investigative interviewing of suspects, victims and witnesses, including children and other vulnerable people. For years the principle of ‘learning by doing’ was used and, instead of specialised training programmes, interviewers were merely trained by observing older and more experienced colleagues.
Today however we believe that special attention to training and education is obligatory as investigative interviewing is a specialism rather than a general police skill that anyone can easily apply. Police interviewing is a very important and specialised technique that requires efficient training including a great deal of supervised practice in both educational and real-life settings.
Based on an empirical study this book explains how two newly developed training methods, individual coaching and one-day group training, can be used to optimise daily police interview practices by coaching interviewers at work. Coaching police interviewers gives them the opportunity to acquire insight into their personal interview strengths and weaknesses. Consequently developing personal awareness will help to optimise the interview practices of individual police officers by instilling a process of self-reflection and giving the interviewers insight into how to use certain techniques.
Working with interview coaches also has the advantage that police interviewers can not only reflect on their personal practice, but they also can seek advice and guidance when preparing for and conducting complex interviews. On this level coaching is more focused on the content of the case than on interpersonal capacities – which will increase job satisfaction and can prevent tunnel vision when working on a criminal case.
Our main findings are that 52% of individually coached interviewers further developed their personal interview competences significantly, and 17% of the interviewers who received only a one-day group coaching session with their peers, showed progress after seven months on four of the five main interview competences measured by the Police Interview Competency Inventory.Based on the principles of coaching, a new way of policing will be explained when describing the two newly developed training methods, a way that will change the practical organisation of criminal investigations for good and will enhance the quality of investigative interviews.
This book is unique as no previous studies have ever empirically tested the learning effect of applying competency management and coaching as we know it from the world of trade and industry to a police interview training context.

Toezicht op detentie: tekst en context (IRCP-series, vol. 46)
€ 25,00
Het hedendaagse landschap aan toezichtmechanismen is uitermate complex en volop in beweging. Meer gevestigde toezichtorganen, zoals het Europese antifoltercomité (CPT), kregen recent het gezelschap van nieuwere spelers op het terrein, zoals het VN-antifoltercomité (SPT) en de zogenaamde nationale preventiemechanismen (NPM). Binnen de Belgische landsgrenzen is een waaier aan gespecialiseerde toezichtorganen actief die zich met wisselend succes toespitsen op gevangenissen, politiecellen, vreemdelingencentra, e.d.m.
Hoe functioneren die organen in de praktijk en op welke wijze verhouden ze zich tot elkaar?
Is het huidige toezicht in Europa toereikend of moet de controle nog opgevoerd worden?
Welke rol speelt de EU in dit ganse verhaal?
Toezicht op detentie biedt de lezer een up-to-date overzicht van het hedendaagse toezichtlandschap en bediscussieert een aantal van de hete hangijzers waarmee actoren op dit terrein heden ten dage worden geconfronteerd.

Europol, Quo Vadis? Critical Analysis and Evaluation of the Development of the European Police Office
€ 20,00
Based in The Hague, the European Police Office (Europol) is the law enforcement agency of the European Union (EU) that handles criminal intelligence. It supports the law enforcement agencies of EU Member States in their fight against international serious crime and terrorism. This publication is the result of a doctoral thesis, which offers a critical analysis and evaluation of the past, present and future development of Europol.
The establishment of Europol was in essence a political decision and to a large extent the agency has remained a political construct. Every political decision represents choices embodying the development of Europol. Choices also have to be made in the legal translation of policy decisions. In her doctoral thesis Alexandra De Moor traces these choices, as they are materialised in legal and policy documents, and makes them subject of analysis and evaluation. The research model she develops for this purpose consists of eras (the pre-Convention, Convention and post-Convention era), clusters (legal basis, objective, competence, tasks, governance and control) and criteria (necessity, consistency, balance and transparency). The three-dimensional model is perfectly suited for a doctoral thesis based on a compilation of peer-reviewed publications (seven in total). This booklet presents the main conclusions, as well as the policy epilogue.
Europol, Quo Vadis? reads like a ‘Bildungsroman’, a coming of age story with lots of ups and downs, and a story with an open ending, as the identity of Europol is still under debate today. The preparations of the new Europol Regulation (after 2013) have started under Danish Presidency (first half of 2012). De Moor wants to fuel the debate on the future of Europol by signaling key concerns and providing useful recommendations. She doubts whether a European Police Office with operational-executive powers (modeled after the FBI) should by definition be the terminus of the development of Europol.
Alexandra De Moor has been affiliated (2006-2012) with the Department of Penal Law and Criminology, Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy (IRCP), Ghent University (Belgium). Although she is a legal scholar, this publication has a hybrid character, in view of the criminological, political and policy relevance of the subject.

Private Antitrust Litigation in the European Union and Japan. A Comparative Perspective.
€ 95,00
Companies in Europe and Japan are increasingly the target of private antitrust litigation. These lawsuits are being facilitated by favorable case law, legislative changes and a growing awareness of antitrust remedies in all layers of society.
This book analyzes and compares this burgeoning
area of litigation in the European Union and Japan. It
analyzes the legal framework for these lawsuits and
takes stock of the hundreds of cases that have been
brought in Japan and the EU in recent years. It also
examines the novel contexts in which private litigants
are invoking antitrust violations, such as in derivative
suits and in actions to challenge arbitral awards. Finally,
it assesses the impact of private litigation on the
enforcement of antitrust law and shows how Japan’s
experience can be useful for Europe and vice versa in
shaping future reforms.
Simon Vande Walle is a research fellow of the Japan
Society for the Promotion of Science at the University
of Tokyo. He holds law degrees from Kyushu University
(LL.D.), Georgetown University Law Center (LL.M.) and
the University of Leuven (Master of Laws). Previously,
he worked as a lawyer at Linklaters in Brussels, where
he specialized in litigation and was closely involved in
several major private antitrust cases.
Christopher Heath in Journal of Japanese Law:
„Bemerkenswert an der vorliegenden Arbeit sind die profunde Auseinandersetzung mit japanischen Quellen, der klare Aufbau, die gute Lesbarkeit und analytische Prägnanz. Wer ein Vorbild für die Abfassung einer Dissertation zum japanischen Recht sucht, sollte das Buch von Vande Walle zur Hand nehmen“.

Rationing Health Care. Hard choices and unavoidable trade-offs.
€ 46,30
One of the most controversial issues in many health care systems is health care rationing. In essence, rationing refers to the denial of - or delay in - access to scarce goods and services in health care, despite the existence of medical need. Scarcity of financial and medical resources confronts society with painful questions.
These are difficult questions that suggest the need for transparent and democratic decision-making. In reality, however, the rationing debate occurs in a sub rosa world, based on imperfect information, distorted interpretations of effectiveness, and hidden cost concerns.
‘Rationing Health Care. Hard Choices and Unavoidable Tradeoffs’ explores these and other questions from various perspectives (medicine, philosophy, ethics, economics and law). Each of the authors’ contributions analyses the debate from a different angle in search of fair and just rationing decisions.
André den Exter and Martin Buijsen are both academics affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands and founders of the Erasmus Observatory on Health Law.

Diefstal in woningen. Bijdragen voor een geïntegreerde beheersing vanuit beleid, praktijk en wetenschap (Reeks Cahiers Integrale Veiligheid, nr. 2)
€ 49,95
Diefstal in een woning is een vaak voorkomend criminaliteitsfenomeen dat een grote impact heeft op de slachtoffers. Woninginbraak – het meest voor de hand liggende voorbeeld van een diefstal in een woning – wordt door burgers dan ook als belangrijk probleem ervaren, aldus de Veiligheidsmonitor. De impact van en de bezorgdheid over dit fenomeen gaat samen met een groot – en opnieuw stijgend – aantal feiten.  Omdat het een hardnekkig en veelzijdig maatschappelijk probleem is, dringt een globaal beeld van diefstal in woningen zich op.
In dit cahier komen verschillende invalshoeken van diefstal in woningen aan bod, al dan niet gekoppeld aan het specifieke Belgische, regionale of lokale beleidskader. De lezer van dit ‘Cahier Integrale Veiligheid’ vindt er onder meer bijdragen terug die ingaan op de kenmerken die een woning kwetsbaar maken, hoe deze door inbrekers worden benut en hoe men zich hiertegen kan wapenen, hetzij als individu, hetzij als gemeenschap.
Daarnaast wordt aandacht besteed aan de concentraties van inbraken in tijd en ruimte en de gevolgen hiervan voor patronen in dadergedrag. Naast de daderkant komt het perspectief van het slachtoffer aan bod. Zo wordt gekeken naar de impact van voor de slachtoffers een diefstal in de woning en welke maatregelen men kan nemen om de negatieve gevolgen van slachtofferschap zoveel mogelijk te beperken. Tot slot komt ook de gerechtelijke keten aan bod, waarbij wordt stilgestaan bij enkele drempels en opportuniteiten voor een coherente strijd tegen dit criminele fenomeen.

The disqualification triad (IRCP-series, vol. 45)
€ 68,00
In the past decades the EU has made little progress with respect to disqualifications as a sanction mechanism. The complex nature of this specific sanction
mechanism has caused policy initiatives to be postponed time after time.
In answer to a call from the European Commission, the authors have conducted a comparative legal analysis in the EU 27 and looked into the practical experiences with disqualifications from a domestic and a cross-border perspective. To that end, academics, policy makers and practitioners in the member states have been consulted.
Analysis reveals a wide variety in the typology of disqualifications as a sanction measure, persons to whom the disqualifications can be imposed and authorities involved. Furthermore, there are considerable differences with respect to the inclusion of disqualifications in the national criminal records databases. Linked thereto, information on foreign disqualifications is scarce and rarely used in practice.
To ensure a comprehensive and consistent policy approach, the authors have come up with a so-called disqualification triad, comprising (1) unified EU-wide disqualifications, (2) mutual recognition of disqualifications and (3) EU-wide equivalent effect of disqualifications. The functioning of the disqualification triad was further elaborated in three case studies, being public procurement disqualifications, disqualifications from working with children and driving disqualifications.
This book is essential reading for both EU and national policy makers as well as for researchers and practitioners involved.

Liability of legal persons for offences in the EU (IRCP-series, vol. 44)
€ 45,00
Discussions on the possibility to attribute liability to legal persons for committing offences are far from new. The EU landscape however is scattered. Although there are obligations for the member states to introduce liability for legal persons committing offences, diversity remains as to the offences that may trigger liability, the legal persons that may be held liable, the attribution theories and mechanisms used, the type of liability, which may be either penal, administrative or civil, and the sanctions that legal persons may incur. Consistent policy making requires an identification of the main commonalities and differences in view of being able to adequately reflect them in cross-national policy initiatives. Hence, the European Commission launched a call for tender for a study on the issue, which was awarded to IRCP. The results thereof are published in this book.
Based on comparative legal analysis in the EU27, recommendations are formulated relating to the EU approximation policy (amongst others to reconsider the concept of a ‘legal person’ and to look into the need for specific ‘legal person’-offences), the functioning of mutual recognition (amongst others to extend the current mutual recognition instrumentarium), the exchange of information (amongst others to develop a criminal records policy) and procedural safeguards (amongst others to secure equivalent protection outside a criminal liability context).
In other words, a helicopter view is taken to ensure consistent EU policy making.

Recht in beweging – 19de VRG Alumnidag 2012
€ 45,00
Dit boek omhelst de laatste stand van het recht in verschillende disciplines. De vele bijdragen vormen de uitgewerkte neerslag van de lezingen die vooraanstaande Leuvense juristen gaven op 9 maart 2012, ter gelegenheid van de 19de Alumnidag van het Vlaams Rechts Genootschap.
Uit het voorwoord door Roger Blanpain, de voorzitter, en Robbie tas, de secretaris:
"Recht in beweging", zo luidt de titel van dit boek. En zo is dat. Het recht is immers een geheel van normen, die de maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen "in goede banen" dienen te leiden. Nog nooit kende onze samenleving dergelijke explosieve ontwikkelingen, die gepaard gaan met de globalisatie van onze informatiemaatschappij enerzijds en de nieuwe technologieën anderzijds.
"Recht in beweging" is dan ook het uithangbord van onze jaarlijkse Alumnidagen. Nu de negentiende op rij.
Dit boek bevat de tekst van de lezingen, die op 9 maart 2012 door niet minder dan 600 juristen beluisterd en besproken werden.
Meteen een bundel van onschatbare waarde. De laatste stand van zaken en nog meer dan dat.

Extending offender mobility (IRCP-series, vol. 43)
€ 39,00
Environmental criminology brings together a range of theories and areas for study. One of
these domains is the study of offender mobility: how offenders move to (and sometimes
from) crime sites, how they select their targets, where they start, the distance they
cover and the direction they move in. Inspired by routine activity theory, rational choice
perspectives and pattern theory, but also by principles of human ecology and foraging
behaviour, offender mobility studies have come to a number of recurrent findings.
However, most of these studies use similar data samples and settings, as they deal with
local offenders operating in urban neighbourhoods.
This book aims at extending this line of research by examining another sample in another setting. Through the study of so-called ‘itinerant crime groups’ in Belgium, the mobility of a sample of foreign offenders is investigated in a nation-wide setting. Mobility patterns of these offenders are studied through a variety of methods and techniques, including quantitative and qualitative analyses of crime statistics, case files and offender interviews.
The result is a multi-method study, suiting the tastes of several groups of readers: criminologists interested in offender mobility, policy makers dealing with these itinerant crime groups, enthusiasts of figures and those who are more interested in the offenders’ personal story.

Handboek Ontslagrecht (Reeks Bibliotheek Sociaal Recht, nr. 1) (NL) – Tweede herziene uitgave
€ 48,40
Het ontslagrecht wordt in het algemeen ervaren als een gecompliceerd rechtsgebied. Het Handboek Ontslagrecht geeft een systematisch overzicht van het Nederlandse ontslagrecht, waarbij vooral aandacht wordt besteed aan de toepassing ervan in de praktijk. Het boek bevat niet alleen de wet- en regelgeving en achtergronden van het ontslagrecht, maar verduidelijkt deze ook door een groot aantal voorbeelden uit de rechtspraak. Samenvattingen van deze jurisprudentie zijn verwerkt in de cursief gedrukte teksten, die een verdieping op de tekst bieden.
De verschillende vormen van beëindiging van de arbeidsovereenkomst komen aan de orde, waarbij wij onder meer uitvoerig ingaan op het ontslag met vergunning van het UWV WERKbedrijf en de ontbinding door de kantonrechter. Het socialeverzekeringsrecht wordt hier en daar aangestipt, maar wordt niet uitvoerig behandeld.
Een belangrijke doelstelling van deze uitgave is om de lezers te attenderen op de vele voetangels en klemmen die het ontslagrecht rijk is, zodat zij op tijd passende maatregelen kunnen nemen door ter zake kundige specialisten in te schakelen. Veel problemen kunnen namelijk worden voorkomen door in een vroeg stadium, reeds bij aanvang van of gedurende de arbeidsovereenkomst, zaken goed te regelen. HRM/P&O-functionarissen, bedrijfsleiders en ondernemers, maar ook advocaten, mediators en rechtskundig adviseurs die geregeld met ontslagzaken te maken hebben, vinden in dit boek nuttige aanwijzingen over de do’s and don’ts in het ontslagrecht.
In deze tweede editie zijn de wetswijzigingen sinds de eerste druk verwerkt, evenals de recente jurisprudentie. Zo worden de in 2009 en 2010 door de Hoge Raad gewezen arresten met betrekking tot de kennelijke onredelijkheidstoetsing behandeld en de per 1 maart 2012 aangescherpte wetgeving voor de melding van een collectief ontslag. Bijzondere aandacht wordt ook besteed aan de relatie tussen pensioen en ontslag, die vanwege de discussie over de verhoging van de AOW-leeftijd actueel is. Verder is een selectie gemaakt van voor de praktijk interessante rechtspraak.
Het boek is geschreven door het team van arbeidsrechtadvocaten van Russell Advocaten.
De tekst werd afgesloten op 31 maart 2012. Wetswijzigingen die toen al bekend, maar nog niet van kracht waren, zijn meegenomen.
