The Criminologist Page 1 the Criminologist the Official Newsletter of the American Society of Criminology The Criminologist Page 1 The Criminologist The Official Newsletter of the American Society of Criminology Vol. 32, #6 November/December 2007 THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF CRIMINOLOGY IN THE STUDY OF TERRORISM Sharla Rausch, Director, Human Factors Division, Science and Technology Directorate, Department of Homeland Security Gary LaFree, Director, National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, University of Maryland Criminologists have been making important contributions to the research literature on terrorism and responses to terror- ism for many years and two past presidents of the American Society of Criminology, Nicholas Kittrie and Austin Turk, explicitly built terrorism into their research on political crime in the 1970s and 1980s. However, much of this early work was done without federal support. It took two key events, the Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City in 1995 and the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Washington DC and Pennsylvania before major federal funding became available for criminolo- gists to embark on large scale empirical work on this phenomenon. After these events, funding through the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, terrorism research solicitations by the National Institute of Justice and the Bureau of Jus- tice Administration and eventually, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opened the door for an expanded portfolio of criminology-related research on terrorism. In this essay we summarize the work of two entities that have in recent years taken a lead in this endeavor: the Human Factors Division (HFD) of the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, and the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), a DHS- funded national Center of Excellence focused on social and behavioral science research on terrorism and its consequences. Human Factors Division, Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate The Science and Technology Directorate of Homeland Security is organized in six program areas (Explosives; Chemical/ Biological; Command, Control, and Interoperability; Borders/Maritime, Infrastructure Protection/Geophysical; and Human Fac- tors). The Human Factors Division was created in the recognition that everything ultimately boils down to the human—from un- derstanding the intent and motivation of terrorist individuals and groups to the way in which we address catastrophic events to the way we develop technology that is effective, usable, and publicly acceptable. The Division applies the social and behavioral sci- ences to improve detection, analysis, and understanding of threats posed by individuals, groups, and radical movements; it sup- ports the preparedness, response, and recovery of communities impacted by catastrophic events; and it advances national home- land security by integrating human factors into homeland security technologies. It also has the distinction of being a cross-cutting division in that it informs and contributes to the development of science and technologies across all of the Directorate’s divisions. For instance, detection technologies depend on both research regarding terrorists and their behavior, as well as on whether the technology being developed and deployed achieves high levels of system effectiveness, safety, and usability by both the operator and the public.

The Criminologist Page 3 (Continued from page 1) The Human Factors Division is comprised of two primary thrust areas -- Human Systems Research and Engineering and So- cial/Behavioral Threat Analysis. Human Systems Research and Engineering integrates human factors into the development, use, and acceptance of homeland security technologies. Current activities range from working in concert with the Explosives division to develop visual displays for airport screeners that increase threat detection and decrease false alarm rates to developing a simple and effective multi-biometrics capability (e.g., finger, face, and iris) for diverse identification situations, such as border crossings, ports of entry, and visa application sites. Key to this thrust area is the establishment of the Community Acceptance of Technolo- gies Panel, which brings together industry, public interest, and community-oriented organizations, often with divergent views, to better understand and integrate their perspectives and issues in the development, deployment, and public acceptance of technol- ogy. The Social/Behavioral Thrust area applies social and behavioral research and theory to improve the detection and analysis of threats posed by individuals, groups, and radical movements. It also addresses the psychological, social, and economic impacts of catastrophic events to inform risk analyses; risk communications; and preparedness, response, resiliency, and recovery efforts.

  • 'Transnational Criminal Law'?
    MFK-Mendip Job ID: 9924BK--0085-3 3 - 953 Rev: 27-11-2003 PAGE: 1 TIME: 11:20 SIZE: 61,11 Area: JNLS OP: PB ᭧ EJIL 2003 ............................................................................................. ‘Transnational Criminal Law’? Neil Boister* Abstract International criminal law is currently subdivided into international criminal law stricto sensu — the so-called core crimes — and crimes of international concern — the so-called treaty crimes. This article suggests that the latter category can be appropriately relabelled transnational criminal law to find a doctrinal match for the criminological term transnational crime. The article argues that such a relabelling is justified because of the need to focus attention on this relatively neglected system, because of concerns about the process of criminalization of transnational conduct, legitimacy in the development of the system, doctrinal weaknesses, human rights considerations, legitimacy in the control of the system, and enforcement issues. The article argues that the distinction between international criminal law and transnational criminal law is sustainable on four grounds: the direct as opposed to indirect nature of the two systems, the application of absolute universality as opposed to more limited forms of extraterritorial jurisdiction, the protection of international interests and values as opposed to more limited transnational values and interests, and the differently constituted international societies that project these penal norms. Finally, the article argues that the term transnational criminal law is apposite because it is functional and because it points to a legal order that attenuates the distinction between national and international. 1 Introduction The term ‘transnational crime’ is commonly used by criminologists, criminal justice officials and policymakers,1 but its complementary term, ‘transnational criminal law’ (TCL), is unknown to international lawyers.

  • Why Do Evaluation Researchers in Crime and Justice Choose Non-Experimental Methods? Lum, C
    Why Do Evaluation Researchers in Crime and Justice Choose Non-Experimental Methods? Lum, C. and Yang, S-M. (2005). Why do evaluation researchers in crime and justice choose non- experimental methods? Journal of Experimental Criminology, 1, 191-213. BACKGROUND This study examines why researchers choose (or do not choose) to conduct experimental evaluations. An experimental design is considered the “gold standard” in evaluation research, leading researchers to best understand the effects of a tested treatment. An experimental design establishes this standard by randomly allocating a population of interest (or sample thereof) into different conditions, treatments, or programs to isolate the effects of those conditions from other possible factors that may contribute to group differences. Random allocation allows for the assumption of equivalence between treatment and comparison groups, a necessary condition to rule out other confounding factors that might explain differences between groups after treatment. Prior research has found differences in the outcomes between experimental and non-experimental studies, with non-experimental studies more likely to find positive or favorable results, which perhaps lead to false conclusions about the effectiveness of a program. Despite positive benefits of experiments, they are infrequently used. Common criticisms of experiments include practical and ethical concerns. However, there may be other reasons for which experiments are not often used, such as the academic background and training of researchers, as well as funding pressure from the government or other external agencies. DATA AND METHODS The data for this study comes from the updated Maryland Report by Sherman et al. (2002)1 which at the time had compiled the population of evaluations across a variety of criminal justice arenas (policing, corrections, communities, schools, etc.).

  • Transnational Criminal Law
    Introduction to the Laws of Kurdistan, Iraq Working Paper Series Transnational Criminal Law Pub. 2016 Iraq Legal Education Initiative (ILEI) American University of Iraq, Sulaimani Stanford Law School Kirkuk Main Road Crown Quadrangle Raparin 559 Nathan Abbott Way Sulaimani, Iraq Stanford, CA 94305-8610 www.auis.ed.iq www.law.stanford.edu 1 Preface to the Series: Introduction to the Laws of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan Iraq and Iraq's Kurdistan Region is at a compelling juncture in their histories. In the wake of the transition to a democratic state, the country and region economy has prospered and its institutions have grown more complex. As institutional capacity has grown, so too has the need for a robust rule of law. An established rule of law can provide assurances to investors and businesses, while keeping checks on government and private powers and protecting citizens’ fundamental rights. Institutions of higher learning, such as universities and professional training centers, can and should play a key role in stimulating and sustaining this dynamic. Indeed, education is foundational. This paper is part of the Introduction to the Laws of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, a series of working papers produced by the Iraqi Legal Education Initiative (ILEI) of Stanford Law School. This series seeks to engage Iraqi students and practitioners in thinking critically about the laws and legal institutions of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Founded in 2012, ILEI is a partnership between the American University of Iraq in Sulaimani (AUIS) and Stanford Law School (SLS). The project’ seeks to positively contribute to the development of legal education and training in Iraq.

POLITICAL CRIMES DEFINED C ONTINENTAL Europe is in the midst of revolutions. The immediate antecedents are such as to suggest the probable ac- companiment of more widespread and perhaps even more in- tense passions of various sort, than have ever before been brought into being with a revolution. This in turn suggests the likelihood that there will follow more political plots and counter-revolutions than is usual in such cases. From such causes it is highly probable that the juridical meaning of the statutory words "an offense of a political character" will be a matter of frequent controversy, as suc- cessive crops of exiles claim the right of asylum in America. The character of the present revolutions is such that, more than usual the exiles will be from the more fortunate and educated class which has become disprivileged by the democratizing process.

  • 30 POLITICAL CORRUPTION AS a FORM of STATE CRIME a Case Study on Electoral Donations
    30 POLITICAL CORRUPTION AS A FORM OF STATE CRIME A case study on electoral donations Nubia Evertsson Source: 2013: previously unpublished Abstract In this chapter, I analyze how state crimes emerge when incumbents utilize their offices to reciprocate electoral donors with undue benefits, favorable regulations, contracts, and job appointments. The problem, as it is seen here, is that (a) while electoral donations are cloaked with legality, they facilitate corruption, and (b) the delivery of undue ben- efits creates social harm, because it diverts the allocation of public resources and destroys confidence in the political system. Thus, I argue and demonstrate how the money delivered as electoral dona- tions constitutes a corrupt incentive that should be classified as illegal. Introduction In democracies money is needed to run elections and there is a parallel belief that money should not buy the decisions of incumbents, though this does occur in practice (Green and Ward 2004; Friedrichs 2004; Nelken and Levi 1996; Shichor and Geis 2007). Studies report that electoral donors have obtained favorable legislation, unjustified contracts and subsidies, and unmerited job appointments. Electoral donations certainly seem to exert undue influence on policy outcomes.1 To deal with this problem, regulatory frameworks have been introduced worldwide to mitigate the influence of campaign contributions on incumbent decision making. Electoral regulations focus on demanding the disclosure of electoral donations and donors’ identi- ties, and limiting the ceilings of donations and campaign expenditures. However, serious concerns regarding the scope of these regulations make them appear futile, because it is believed that some countries have left certain issues unattended to facilitate the delivery of undue benefits to donors.

  • Making a Difference in Criminology: Past, Present and Future *
    Making a Difference in Criminology: Past, Present and Future * Thomas G. Blomberg College of Criminology and Criminal Justice Florida State University * Prepared for Presentation at the 2018 Southern Criminal Justice Association Conference, Pensacola, FL. I. Introduction Beginning in the late 1890s, Rockefeller grants totaling several million dollars transformed a small Baptist College in Chicago into one of America’s foremost universities - The University of Chicago. In awarding his grants to the university, Rockefeller, along with other fellow industrialist donors, were interested in establishing an urban social work focus for the university. The collective concern among the donors was with instability among the work force believed related to the adverse living conditions of Chicago’s slums. William Rainey Harper, who served as the inaugural President of the University of Chicago from 1891 to 1906, established the very first Department of Sociology in 1891. Robert Park and Ernest Burgess, early faculty members of the University of Chicago’s Department of Sociology, authored the famous textbook “Introduction to the Science of Sociology” (1921) that was known as the Bible of Sociology. What followed, at what became called the ‘Chicago School,” were a series of carefully researched and theoretically guided urban ethnographic studies aimed at improving the slums. Much of criminology’s subsequent development as a scientific discipline drew heavily from the early theoretical and empirical scholarship of the Chicago School. Very importantly, however, the subsequent development of criminology departed from the early urban and applied social work focus of the Chicago School, to an uncompromising purpose of establishing criminology as a recognized scientific discipline aimed at the determination of the social and economic causes of crime.
