Mehr zum Buch

This work compiles experiences and lessons learned in addressing the unique needs of women and children in crime prevention and criminal justice, focusing on the treatment and social reintegration of offenders. It serves as a cross-disciplinary resource for academic and policy analyses in both developing and developed countries. The text advocates for a more humane and effective approach to combating delinquency and crime among future generations. It highlights two global trends—urbanization and education—that will shape development, emphasizing that urbanization will globalize concepts of justice and fairness, while education will increasingly reflect an urban mindset and digital economy. The work views crime prevention education as a vital investment in the sustainable quality of life for future generations and recognizes those engaged in crime prevention as essential skill providers. Adopting a reformist approach, it gathers articles with findings and recommendations relevant to domestic and international policymaking, including insights from United Nations studies for future welfare. The contributions, guided by the editors’ expertise and a commitment to academic freedom, include perspectives from lawyers, criminologists, sociologists, and other experts, aiming to bridge academic and policy perspectives against an international backdrop.
