This volume brings together distinguished scholars and cutting-edge
experts in the fields of ethnography, law, and social control to
present a comprehensive, insightful, and state-of-the-art overview
of the everyday work and activities of legal and social control
professionals, functionaries, and participants. The chapters in the
collection bring to the foreground the distinctive contributions
that ethnographic and ethnomethodologically-informed studies have
to offer research on law and social control from theoretical,
methodological, and substantive viewpoints. The discussions address
a usefully broad and timely variety of themes, including management
of the media by prosecutors in the famous Mike Tyson rape case;
celebrity stalking and its social control; community protection
strategies and legislation for high-risk sex offenders; probation
officers' use of technology to "monitor" domestic violence
offenders; how contemporary immigration rules-in-practice impact
the immigration status of skilled professionals; bureaucratic
decision-making by federal housing officers; police methods of
interrogating suspects through an interpreter; how juvenile courts
respond to troublesome youths; Self-change treatment programs for
violent offenders in prison; and how jail inmates construct
parenthood behind bars. The collection emphasizes the need to
consider the organizationally and institutionally specific features
and competencies that comprise the legal and social control work
under investigation and allows for a deeper appreciation of the
practical terms through which people involved in this work make
their activities meaningful, carry out their tasks, and organize
their interactions.
