Status Updates From Criminology: A Complete Int...

Very educational. I appreciate the small test at the end of each chapter!

"In the USA the age of criminal responsibility is determined by each state and ranges from 6 to 12 years. It is 12 years in Ireland and the Netherlands, 13 years in France, 14 in Germany, Spain, Italy and Denmark, and 15 in Finland, Iceland and Norway."

"Many have argued the 2016 Brexit referendum had considerable implications for hate crime, arising from the way in which the Leave campaign emphasized the negative aspects of immigration.
Statistics suggest that, in the wake of Brexit, recorded instances of hate crime ‘spiked’ by around 41 per cent compared with the previous year."

"Marxist criminology developed ideas that had been put forward by new deviancy criminology and argues that the unjust social system that is the product of capitalism is maintained by the use of the law to criminalize those whose actions pose a challenge to the existing power relationships in society."

"In the USA the hierarchy rule is employed by the SRS (but not NIBRS) so that, if in the course of one event a victim was subjected to several crimes (for example assault, rape and robbery), or in one place several crimes occurred (for example, a number of people were robbed and one of the victims was murdered), only the most serious offence would be recorded."

Yikes.
