The publication series will regularly publish research findings of the Max Planck Partner Group for Balkan Criminology (MPPG) – a joint venture between the MPI and the University of Zagreb’s Faculty of Law. The topics to be addressed in this new publication series broaden the scope of the research programme of MPI’s Department of Criminology, in particular the re­ search focal points III. and V. on ‘Homeland Security, Organized Crime, and Terror­ ism – Societal Perceptions and Reactions’ and ‘The Development of Criminal Policy and the Rule of Law in Transitional Societies’, by combining them with the research focuses of the MPPG on I. Violence, Organized Crime and Illegal Markets; II. Feel­ ings and Perceptions of (In)Security and Crime; and III. International Sentencing. The publication series shall provide an adequate forum for discussing crime and criminal justice issues that can best be captured with the term ‘Balkan Criminology’. This is not a general criminology for or on the Balkans, but rather a specialized Eu­ ropean criminology focusing on Balkan-relevant topics that have so far been largely neglected in terms of research and publication, especially when it comes to research originating from the region itself. Filling this gap should therefore not only advance the research setting in the Balkans, but also contribute to European and even interna­ tional criminology. The ‘Mapping of the Criminological Landscape of the Balkans’, by discovering the current situation regarding criminology and crime across the re­ gion, is a logical first step in introducing the new publication series, whereas in terms of research it provides a firm point of orientation for further ‘Expeditions into the Criminal Landscape of the Balkans’.

  • Montenegro Old and New: History, Politics, Culture, and the People
    60 ZuZana Poláčková; Pieter van Duin Montenegro Old and New: History, Politics, Culture, and the People The authors are focusing on how Montenegro today is coming to terms with the task of becoming a modern European nation, which implies recognition not only of democracy, the rule of law, and so forth, but also of a degree of ‘multiculturalism’, that is recognition of the existence of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities in a society that is dominated by a Slavic Orthodox majority. In his context they are analyzing the history of the struggle of the Montenegrin people against a host of foreign invaders – after they had ceased to be invaders themselves – and especially their apparently consistent refusal to accept Ottoman sovereignty over their homeland seemed to make them the most remarkable freedom fighters imaginable and led to the creation of a special Montenegrin image in Europe. This im- age of heroic stubbornness and unique martial bravery was even consciously cultivated in Western and Central Europe from the early nineteenth century onwards, as the Greeks, the Serbs, the Montenegrins and other Balkan peoples began to resist the Ottoman Empire in a more effective way and the force of Romantic nationalism began to influence the whole of Europe, from German historians to British politi- cians, and also including Montenegrin and Serbian poets themselves. And what about the present situa- tion? The authors of this essay carried out an improvised piece of investigation into current conditions, attitudes, and feelings on both the Albanian and the Slavic-Montenegrin side (in September 2012). key words: Montenegro; history; multiculturalism; identity; nationalism; Muslim; Orthodox Montenegro (Crna Gora, Tsrna Gora, Tsernagora) is a small country in the Western Balkans region with some 625,000 inhabitants,1 which became an independent nation in 2006 and a can- didate-member of the EU in 2010.

  • New Perspectives of Studies in the Przeworsk Culture in the Lublin Region
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. LV (2020): 111–136 PL ISSN 0001-5229 DOI 10.4467/00015229AAC.20.006.13511 Marta stasiaK-Cyran New perspectives of studies in the Przeworsk culture in the Lublin region – on the example of the results of interdisciplinary studies of site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, Opole Lubelskie district, Lublin voivodship Abstract: The last twenty years have brought discoveries which provide a large number of sources concerning the archaeology of the Roman Period in the Lublin region. The interdisciplinary studies related to site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, Opole Lubelskie district, Lublin region, Poland, have generated a substantial part of these new sources. The multi-aspectual analysis of archaeological and biological sources allowed us to characterize of the economy of the dwellers of the settlement which was constituted by agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. The relative chronology of the settlement was established, and the first stage of its functioning was determined as belonging to phase B2, until phase C1a inclusive. The second stage of the utilisation of the settlement is dated to phase C3-D1. Three instances of radiocarbon dating confirm the chronological frame established by relative dating. The presented analysis of selected archaeological sources from site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, especially of ceramic material, seems to confirm the possibility that in the early Roman period, in the Lublin region, especially in its western part, infiltration of Dacian cultural elements into the Przeworsk environment took place. It is undeniable that the chronology of the settlement in Nieszawa Kolonia extends beyond the established time frame assumed for the functioning of the Przeworsk culture in the Lublin region.

  • Criminal Victimisation in Greece and the Fear of Crime: a 'Paradox' for Interpretation
    International Review of Victimology. 2009, Vol. 16, pp. 277–300 0269-7580/09 $10 © A B Academic Publishers - Printed in Great Britain CRIMINAL VICTIMISATION IN GREECE AND THE FEAR OF CRIME: A 'PARADOX' FOR INTERPRETATION CHRISTINA ZARAFONITOU Panteion University, Greece* ABSTRACT The measurement of victimisation was rare and sporadic in Greece until 2005 when it was included in the EU International Crime Survey (EUICS). Many findings are highly interesting as for example those concerning corruption. There are also high ratings of feeling unsafe among the inhabitants of Greece, in particular those in Athens, in spite of the relatively low rates of their victimisation. This paper focuses on this point, trying to reveal the factors which could explain this 'paradox'. Keywords: Victimisation — fear of crime — satisfaction with the police — quality of life INTRODUCTION Victimisation surveys have been rare and sporadic in Greece until 2005 when they were included in the European victimisation survey (Van Dijk et al., 2007a; 2007b: p. 30). At the national level, only one victimisation survey has been carried out, in 2001 (Karydis, 2004) but this theme has frequently been examined in the framework of surveys on fear of crime which were carried out in Athens during the last decade (Zarafonitou, 2002, 2004; Zarafonitou and Courakis, 2009)1. The most important observation which emerged from those was the relatively low levels of victimisation of Greek citizens in comparison to the high levels of fear of crime revealed. In order for this 'paradox' to be explained, a conceptualisation of fear of crime (Vanderveen, 2006: p. 28) is necessary as well as looking at its attributed 'social meaning'2, in the context of the general social framework in which social attitudes are shaped and manifested.

  • High Prevalence of Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande Do Norte State, Northeast Brazil
    de Azevedo Medeiros et al. Diabetol Metab Syndr (2017) 9:80 DOI 10.1186/s13098-017-0280-7 Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome RESEARCH Open Access High prevalence of Berardinelli‑Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeast Brazil Lázaro Batista de Azevedo Medeiros1,2, Verônica Kristina Cândido Dantas1, Aquiles Sales Craveiro Sarmento2, Lucymara Fassarella Agnez‑Lima2, Adriana Lúcia Meireles3, Thaiza Teixeira Xavier Nobre1, Josivan Gomes de Lima4 and Julliane Tamara Araújo de Melo Campos1,2* Abstract Background: Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare disease characterized by the almost com‑ plete absence of adipose tissue. Although a large number of BSCL cases was previously identifed in Rio Grande do Norte (RN), a state in Northeast Brazil, its prevalence in RN regions and municipalities remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to better characterize the prevalence of BSCL in RN. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using secondary data obtained from the Association of Parents and People with BSCL of RN to determine its prevalence. The patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and geolocaliza‑ tion were analyzed. Results: We estimated a total of 103 BSCL cases in RN, resulting in a prevalence of 3.23 per 100,000 people. The Cen‑ tral Potiguar mesoregion, Seridó territory, Carnaúba dos Dantas and Timbaúba dos Batistas municipalities had a much higher prevalence of BSCL, with 20.56, 20.66, 498.05 and 217.85 per 100,000 people, respectively. Conclusions: Together, our results showed that BSCL is highly prevalent in RN and confrmed that our state has one of the highest prevalences of this lipodystrophy worldwide.

  • Journal of European Integration History Revue D
    JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION HISTORY REVUE D’HISTOIRE DE L’INTÉGRATION EUROPÉENNE ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR GESCHICHTE DER EUROPÄISCHEN INTEGRATION edited by the Groupe de liaison des professeurs d’histoire contemporaine auprès de la Commission européenne 2004, Volume 10, Number 1 The Liaison Committee of Historians came into being in 1982 as a result of an important international symposium that the Commission had organized in Luxembourg to launch historical research on Euro- pean integration. The committee is composed of historians of the European Union member countries who work on contemporary history. The Liaison Committee: – gathers and conveys information about work on European history after the Second World War; – advises the European Union on research projects concerning contemporary European history. Thus, the Liaison Committee was commissioned to make publicly available the archives of the Community institutions; – enables researchers to make better use of the archival sources; – promotes research meetings to get an update of work in progress and to stimulate new research: seven research conferences have been organized and their proceedings published. The Journal of European Integration History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration is in line with the preoccupations of the Liaison Committee. Being the first history journal to deal exclusively with the history of European Integration, the Journal offers the increasing number of young historians devoting their research to contemporary Europe, a permanent forum. The Liaison Committee is supported by the European Commission, but works completely independ- ently and according to historians’ critical method. ❋ Le Groupe de liaison des professeurs d’histoire contemporaine auprès de la Commission des Communautés européennes s’est constitué en 1982 à la suite d’un grand colloque que la Commis- sion avait organisé à Luxembourg pour lancer la recherche historique sur la construction européenne.

  • Extortion in Greece
    Extortion in GreecE thE risE of orGanisEd crimE, Extortion and rackEteerinG in thE latE 20th cEntury Organised crime had not been an issue in the public discourse and academic debate in Greece until the middle of the 1990s. Although in the beginning of the decade some family based groups of Greeks extorters were formed, organised crime was recognised and recorded mostly as a problem connected to the presence of migrants (Vidali, 2014: 178). A look at reports of the Hellenic Police on organised crime shows that it was in the 1990s that organised crime began to be highlighted as a problem in the Greek context (Antonopoulos, 2009; see also Xenakis, 2006). These reports constitute the first official documents which referred to the presence and the involvement of criminal organisations in the Greek market and emphasised a clear link between organised crime and the influx of immigrants. In particular, the reports of the Hellenic Police for the years 1995 – 1999 noted a serious threat from “national criminal groups”, and at the same time stressed the involvement of foreigners in organised criminal activities.1 Another factor for the under-representation of racketeering and extortion among the priorities of the Hellenic Police has been the growth of the shadow (informal) economy. Its large size made it difficult to distinguish organised crime from other forms of illegality, because it contributed to blurring the boundaries between organised crime and typical economic crimes of entrepreneurs (Vidali, 2007/I: 912). In the 1990s, typical organised crime seemed to be a marginal phenomenon, which began to be investigated thoroughly and independently because of international commitments undertaken by Greece to prepare special reports on the state of organised crime (Rizava, 2012: 77).2 In particular, police data for the years 1995 and 1996 show that organised crime had not been established in Greece during that period.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.
