Sommario/riassunto

This collection brings together academics and practitioners currently



researching topics relevant to Polish criminology. It showcases the breadth and depth of criminological research in Poland. Furthermore, it places the volume within its post-Soviet past and global context, alongside the international literature, outlining its many contributions to the field. It encompasses a broad range of criminological interests, such as critical criminology and social control, policing, penitentiary and post-penitentiary systems, restorative justice, crimes of the powerful, white-collar crime etc. The edited collection serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, students, policymakers, and practitioners seeking a comprehensive understanding of crime and justice in Poland, as well as those interested in comparative criminology and the broader European context. Błażej Kaucz is a researcher in criminology and socio-legal studies. He completed his PhD in criminology in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at University College Cork, Ireland.
