Crime Prevention and Justice in 2030

This book analyzes human rights and crime prevention challenges from the perspective of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda, in particular its goal 16 on promoting peaceful, inclusive and just societies, the creation and development of which depend on the interplay between various secular and non-secular (f)actors. The book reflects on the implementation of these two legal instruments from a back to the future standpoint, that is, drawing on the wisdom of contributors to the 2030 Agenda from the past and present in order to offer a constructive inter-disciplinary and intergenerational approach. The book's intended readership includes academics and educationists, criminal justice practitioners and experts, diplomats, spiritual leaders and non-governmental actors; its goal is to encourage them to pursue a socially and human rights oriented drive for larger freedom, which is currently jeopardized by adverse political currents.

Demonstrates the transformative power of United Nations ideas, principles and recommendations integrated into the groundbreaking 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda Artfully and pragmatically combines interdisciplinary research from intercultural perspectives relevant to the United Nations practice of countering crime and victimization worldwide in the framework of the 2030 Agenda and beyond Shares, discusses and operationalizes insights from Western and Eastern philosophies of governance regarding the Rule of Law around the world
