European federation European Union countries - Foreign relations International relations - Political aspects Class number: 327.094 Abstract: European Union Foreign Policy in a Changing World provides a clear introduction to the complexities of contemporary European Union foreign policy, and offers a fresh and distinctive perspective on the nature of the European Union's international identity. Opening with a discussion of the EU's evolution as an international actor, the book goes on to explore how and why the EU pursues five core foreign policy objectives, namely: the encouragement of regional cooperation: the advancement of human rights: the promotion of democracy and good governance: the prevention of violent conflicts: and the fight against international crime. By analysing the various means the EU has used to achieve these objectives, Karen Smith considers the extent to which the EU has pursued these goals consistently. She concludes with an assessment of the uniqueness of the EU as a global actor and the effectiveness of its foreign policy, by comparing its activities with those of other international actors pursuing similar objectives. This well-written and thoroughly researched textbook should appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of European politics, British politics, foreign policy studies, international relations and related disciplines.

Evidence-based crime prevention

No review available on this record. Title : Evidence-based crime prevention Material Type: printed text Authors: Lawrence W. Sherman, Editor Edition statement: Revised edition Publisher: London [UK] : Routledge Publication Date: 2006 Pagination: xiv, 440 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-415-40102-9 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Crime prevention. Class number: 364.4 Abstract: "Evidence-based crime prevention"- Crime prevention policy and practice is often far from objective. Instead of being based on scientific evidence the crime policy agenda is sometimes driven by political ideology, anecdotal evidence and program favorites of the month. "Evidence-Based Crime Prevention" seeks to change this by comprehensively and rigorously assessing the existing scientific knowledge on the effectiveness of crime prevention programs internationally. Reviewing more than 600 scientific evaluations of programs intended to prevent crime in settings such as families, schools, labor markets, places and communities, this book grades programs on their validity using "the scientific methods scale." This collection, which brings together contributions from leading researchers in the field of crime prevention, will provide policy makers, researchers and community leaders with an understandable source of information about what works, what does not work and what is promising in preventing crime. The revised edition of this internationally renown and highly influential book contains an entirely new and up-to-date introductory chapter. This new chapter takes stock of important new developments that are helping to make crime prevention more rational, and also sets out the contribution of this book to evidence-based crime prevention. Contents note: Preventing crime; The maryland scientific methods scale; Family-based crime prevetion; School-based crime; Communities and crime prevetion; Labor markets and crime risk factors; Preventing crime at places; Policing for crime prevention; Reducing the criminal activities of known offenders and delinquents : Crime prevention in the courts and corrections; Conclusion : What works, what doesn't, what's promising and future directions; Index; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13963
