The present case study is included within the context of the study of the participation of businesses in international crimes and the overlap of the criminological study of international crimes and the study of state-corporate crime. Business involvement in international crimes is defined as a business behavior that allowed, aggravated, or facilitated international crimes committed by the Nazi regime and its agents. Involvement is defined as an enterprise that contributes to committing these crimes by the primary perpetrator or perpetrators while knowing (or should have known) that its conduct contributed to committing these crimes. With raw material from the Report of the relevant Greek Parliamentary Committee on the German occupation, we interact with the respective (few) international publications on the state corporate crimes of World War II, but we will also submit thoughts and suggestions for the concept and the view of state corporate crime.

When killing includes extreme brutalities, sometimes called extralethal violence, it usually carries a social function that goes beyond that of a “mere” execution. In this research were present the analysis of a filmed triple homicide that was committed and deliberately spread through social networks by members of an organized crime group in northeastern Brazil. Content analyses of seven amateur videos showed that the tortures, murders, and beheading were producing a type of criminal propaganda. Apparently, the perpetrators acted in accordance with criminal social norms, without any reluctance to commit the killings. Remarkably, one of the criminals ordered the deaths from inside a prison by phone. Feelings of belonging to the criminal organization, deindividuation, obedience to the leader, dehumanization, and repulsion towards members of rival criminal groups, are discussed as a basic dynamic of this type of extreme violence.

Each year in the United States hundreds of people are killed by the police. All states lack compliance with the United Nations Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials and the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, which restricts the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers. This analysis provides a descriptive overview of state statutes regulating deadly force statutes as of 2021. As of the time of this statutory analysis, no states currently require reporting of the use of force to a national database. Additionally, nine states lack laws governing the use of deadly force by police officers. Eleven states allow officers to use deadly force to suppress a riot, and thirty-eight states allow police to use deadly force to stop a person from escaping custody. Implications for public policy are discussed.

Black juveniles and adults have borne the brunt of incarceration in the US. Both groups have been targeted by mass incarceration efforts that have manifested into the prison industrial complex. Efforts to control blacks are well documented by methods such as slavery, the black code, Jim Crow laws, War on Drugs, Get Tough on Crime, along with racist and bias Anti-Crime Control Policies. These and other factors have contributed to prison overcrowding as well as DMC in the juvenile justice system. While there has been many debates addressing the need to closely examine the juvenile justice system and its processes, it remains a system that dispenses disparate treatment. Despite this, we believe that strategies can be used to reduce DMC.

The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first purpose was to ascertain whether parental knowledge and moral agency predicted subsequent delinquency when included in the same regression equation and whether either protected youth against future delinquency by moderating the risk effect of past delinquency on future delinquency. The second purpose was to determine whether the upper or prosocial poles of these two constructs served as promotive factors and the lower or antisocial poles as risk factors. This study was also designed to verify whether combining the two constructs improved prediction. Participants for this study were 845 middle-school students (406 boys, 439 girls; mean age = 11.21 years) who completed a survey on three separate occasions, with a year between each evaluation. Results revealed that while neither variable served as a protective factor, both showed signs of serving as a risk/promotive factor, particularly when the two variables were combined.
