Die religiöse und weltanschauliche Landschaft in Deutschland ist von einem vielfältigen Pluralismus geprägt. Neben den traditionellen Religionen haben sich eine Vielzahl von weiteren Gruppierungen gebildet, die den Anspruch haben, Religions- oder Weltanschauungsgemeinschaft zu sein. So sind Gruppen wie Scientology, Osho und viele andere seit längerer Zeit auf dem religiös-weltanschaulichen Markt im Angebot. Unter diesen finden sich auch Spaßreligionen und satirisch geprägte Gruppen wie die ¿Kirche des Fliegenden Spaghettimonsters Deutschland e.V.". Es stellt sich die Frage, ob solche Gruppen den Schutz der Religionsfreiheit des GG genießen können, also ob diesen tatsächlich eine Religion und Weltanschauung zugrunde liegt und sie sodann auch Religions- oder Weltanschauungsgemeinschaft im Sinne des Grundgesetzes sein können. Mit den Voraussetzungen dafür setzt sich dieses Werk anhand des Beispiels der ¿Kirche des Fliegenden Spaghettimonsters Deutschland e.V." auseinander.

In this pioneering monograph based upon extensive primary research, Gottschalk and Hamerton explore and evaluate the developing global field of internal investigations within complex organizations. Applying an offender-based perspective, the authors explore the central role of convenience in seeking to inform, improve and develop policy and practice. A comparative interdisciplinary work, with extensive coverage of European, North American, African and Asian paradigms, The Internal Review of Corporate Deviance presents empirical fieldwork supplemented by the detailed analysis of a large number of internal reviews produced on completion of internal investigations. The aggregate research gathered considers offender motive, conformance, potential damage and recovery of the corporate social license, and convenience themes, while critically assessing investigation effectiveness and review maturity - as both successful and deficient practice. In doing so, the book presents a close analysis of the field to identify, position, and reveal the strategic role of internal review and impact of the social license on contemporary conceptions of white-collar deviance and crime. This book will be of interest to scholars of criminology, business management, law and sociology, along with practitioners and professionals within allied disciplines.

"Anger was the engine of justice in the ancient Greek world. It drove quests for vengeance which resulted in a variety of consequences, often harmful not only for the relevant actors but also for the wider communities in which they lived. From as early as the seventh century BCE, Greek communities had developed more or less formal means of imposing restrictions on this behaviour in the form of courts. However, this did not necessarily mean a less angry or vengeful society so much as one where anger and revenge were subject to public sanction and sometimes put to public use"--
