This book offers a practical, methodological guide to conducting arts-based research with children by drawing on five years of the authors' experience carrying out arts-based research with children in Australia and the UK. Based on the Australian Research Council-funded Interfaith Childhoods project, the authors describe methods of engaging communities and making data with children that foreground children's experiences and worldviews through making, being with, and viewing art. Framing these methods of doing, seeing, being, and believing through art as modes of understanding children's strategies for negotiating personal identities and values, this book explores the value of arts-based research as a means of obtaining complex information about children's life worlds that can be difficult to express verbally.
Already a standard in its first edition, this newly expanded and
reorganized reader provides a compelling exploration of what
arguably remains the single most important problem in social
theory: the problem of social order. Contending that theory's
purpose in the social sciences lies in its ability to explain
real-world phenomena, "Theories of Social Order" presents classic
texts alongside contemporary theoretical extensions and recent
empirical applications.
"The Rewards of Punishment" describes a new social theory of norms
to provide a compelling explanation why people punish. Identifying
mechanisms that link interdependence with norm enforcement, it
reveals how social relationships lead individuals to enforce norms,
even when doing so makes little sense.

War drama from director Paul Gross, who also stars. Ryan (Rossif Sutherland), Travis (Allan Hawco), Tank (Karl Campbell) and Hickie (David Richmond-Peck) together form a Canadian sniper company engaged in the war in Afghanistan. The film delves into the stories of the four men and their Intelligence Officer (Gross), who are tasked with building a road through dense and hostile enemy territory. The soldiers grapple with the realities of modern warfare and morality where boundaries between black and white are often blurred.
Experiments in Criminology and Law: A Research Revolution illustrates how experimental methods, particularly laboratory experiments, can be useful for researchers studying crime, deviance, and law. Scholars in these areas have typically relied on data from surveys, ethnographies, and government records. While such research has produced evidence regarding correlations, it has not been as successful at increasing our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for those correlations. This book makes the case that laboratory experiments can help. Their strengths complement those of traditional methods and field experiments.
