“…Taking a favourable view, the dealers' practices may be attributed to them operating under stereotypical ideas of the type of person disposed to commit art crime and their own risk of being exploited. For example, if relying on the stereotype that criminals are generally of low social status (e.g., in terms of economic and educational attainment) (Chapman 2013), offenders in more privileged positions may be overlooked. Such notions of the typical art criminal might also be partly media driven.…”

In high demand among collectors worldwide, the art of expressionist painter Edvard Munch has been the object of numerous criminal incidents. This article examines to what extent these crimes have had any regulatory effect on contemporary trade in Munch’s work and what precautionary measures Norwegian dealers take to prevent illicit art from entering the market. Consistent with a grey market paradigm, interviews with art dealers indicate that the trade in Munch has become tainted with risk due to the presence of many unprovenanced works in the market, yet most art dealers have narrow, preconceived ideas of the ‘typical’ art crime offender. Interested parties would not expect questions of provenance to be answered, so they do not ask, and social relationships are used to excuse a lack of due diligence, conveniently allowing the industry to thrive.

“…Adding to these problems is the fact that serving time is associated with lower wages, poor job conditions and unemployment (Western and Pettit, 2010), which often results in recidivism and re-incarceration (Chiricos et al, 2007), a predicament that can be dramatically accentuated by the adverse economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (Amaro, 2019;Hirschfield and Piquero, 2010;Patto, 2008). Thus, there seems to be a downward spiral, whereby society progressively encloses targeted individuals inside a web of social exclusion (Goffman, 1963;Chapman, 1968).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine how prisoners’ early release affects other citizens’ perceived insecurity and their attitudes towards those released prisoners, and how citizens’ political orientation influences these variables. Design/methodology/approach A total of 383 Portuguese participants were presented with a recommendation from the United Nations for the release of prisoners because of COVID-19 and then asked to fill in a questionnaire measuring their political orientation, support for the early release of prisoners, perceived insecurity regarding such measure and their attitudes towards the released prisoners. Findings Results showed that support for the release of prisoners during COVID-19 is associated with perceived insecurity and both, in turn, predicts inclusive attitudes regarding these prisoners, while only perceived insecurity is associated with an agreement with an intensification of social control measures. Right-wing participants were found to express the negative side. The more participants felt insecure, the more they believed released prisoners should not have the same rights as common citizens and the more they should be left out of the community. Research limitations/implications The major limitation of this study concerns the sample: the authors collected answers from Portuguese participants exclusively, most of which held a university degree. Practical implications At least two major implications can be drawn from this study’s results. These implications deal with prisoners’ entrance in what can be considered a cycle of exclusion and the promotion of their social reintegration once they are released from prison. Social implications The findings point out the necessity to firstly put an effort in deconstructing the insecurity perception that results from the prospective of having prisoners back into society – that is to understand why it happens and how it can be reduced – promoting efficacy in the inclusion of these prisoners and preventing the emergence of controlling or protective approaches directed to these individuals in their return to society by enhancing people’s awareness that the social reintegration of ex-prisoners will benefit the whole community. Originality/value The authors present a different perspective of the impact that managing COVID-19 in prisons has on society.

“…Esse monopólio domina também os "sistemas e aparelhos internos de organização, controle e disciplina das relações sociais" (MENEGAT, 2012, p. 33 Se verificarmos a construção histórica da maioria dos litígios penais, em que o Estado e suas estruturas de opressão são autores de delitos, notaremos que ela acaba expressando a concepção econômica e o modo de produção capitalista. A economia da pena é a mesma economia da opressão penal, seja excluindo os miseráveis, seja distribuindo imunidades a quem tem poder econômico (CHAPMAN, 1968). Rusche e Kirchheimer sintetizam essa ideia afirmando que "todo sistema de produção tende a descobrir formas punitivas que correspondem às suas relações de produção" (2004, p. 20).…”
