The orientation of this volume is driven by relevant recent occurrences, such as hurricanes Katrina and Irene in the United States; the 2010 BP oil spill, and the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Thematically diverse within the province of the social and behavioral sciences related to law and law-related problems, the chapters in this volume are not restricted in terms of theoretical approach and methodological orientation. Topics addressed include: legal controls pertaining to disaster prevention, response, and mitigation; regulations and policies concerning hazardous conditions; and crime and the control thereof in post-disaster situations.Sociology of crime, law, and deviance ;v. 17.Social ScienceGeneralbisacshSocial ScienceCriminologybisacshSocial ScienceViolence in SocietybisacshSociety & social sciencesbicsscSocial services & welfare, criminologybicsscEmergency managementLaw and legislationDisaster reliefLaw and legislationSocial ScienceGeneral.Social ScienceCriminology.Social ScienceViolence in Society.Society & social sciences.Social services & welfare, criminology.Emergency managementLaw and legislation.Disaster reliefLaw and legislation.344.0534Deflem Mathieu527250UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910672003403321Disasters, hazards and law3051236UNINA
