This book provides a multidisciplinary collection of essays that
seek to explore the deeply problematic legacy of post-Agreement
Northern Ireland. Thus, the authors of this book look at a number
of issues that continue to stymie the development of a robust and
sustainable peacebuilding project, including segregation, contested
parades and flags, ethnic party mobilization, and memorialization.
Towards addressing these contemporary issues, authors are drawn
from a range of disciplines, including politics, history,
literature, drama, cultural studies, sociology, and social
psychology.
First Published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This book presents original research into contemporary geographical
aspects of the study of crime. The contributors, drawn from
different disciplines within the social sciences and from various
countries, give a review of the subject which provides a valuable
insight into the geography of crime. Their approaches range from
the behavioural to the environmental, and the crimes dealt with
include violent crime and residential burglary. The book examines
data sources, discusses different crimes and ways of studying them
and considers the fear of crime. The criminal justice system in the
UK is examined in detail, including policy, the operations of
community and police committees and an account of the experience of
crime prevention policies in Britain and North America is also
given.
First published in 2002. Spiralling crime rates and continuing
public concern about police-community relations ensure that crime
and policing remain firmly on the social and political agenda. An
awareness of crime continues to affect the lives of ordinary people
and also to stimulate policy makers who recognise that crime rates
form one of the principles by which their effectiveness is judged.
Of the many agencies involved in the battle against crime, the
police in their various roles constitute the most obvious front
line. Drawing on case material from Britain, Europe, Canada and
America, Crime, Policing and Place examines the significance of
spatial patterns of crime and the processes which produce them. The
book analyses the implications of theoretical and methodological
innovation in the study of crime and policing, the processes which
underlie the uneven distribution and impact of crime and the
success of recent policies aimed at preventing crime and enhancing
police-community relations. Contributors are drawn from a variety
of academic disciplines, including criminology, geography and
social policy and also from the police and government agencies with
direct policy input.

David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) expected The Rainbow to cause a
stir. In a characteristically open exploration of sensual and
explicit themes, the novel traces more than sixty years of pre-war
life and three generations of the Brangwen family. Employing
language infused with the rich imagery and repetition of biblical
texts to treat all subjects - from the green fields and empty skies
of the Brangwen farm through to Ursula's encounter with a female
schoolteacher - Lawrence took an assuredly striking approach.
However, he was unprepared for the vitriolic attacks of his
reviewers. The novel was branded 'utter filth' and 'a mass of
obscenity'; it was banned only a month after its publication in
1915, unsold copies being confiscated and destroyed. A second,
abridged edition would not appear for another eleven years. Now a
landmark in the early modernist canon, the original and unabridged
text of 1915 is reissued here.
Born within walking distance of ten Nottinghamshire pits, David
Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was painfully aware that his frail
physique and quiet character were ill suited to the mining industry
upon which his community depended. The difficulties of his youth
are manifest in Sons and Lovers, his first major novel and an
insider's portrayal of the culture of the collieries. Writing to a
friend, Lawrence explained the seed of his plot: 'a woman of
character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no
satisfaction in her own life'. Stemming from this are the intricate
difficulties in the relationships of Paul Morel, the second son of
this unhappy mother, torn between her overpowering influence and
two vastly different women - the quiet, old-fashioned Miriam and
the modern divorcee Clara. Although initially deemed indecent and
rejected for publication, Sons and Lovers appeared for the first
time in 1913.
This title was first published in 2002: Religion and Social
Transformations examines the reciprocal relationship between
religion, modernity and social change. The book focuses on the
world's three major missionary religions - Buddhism, Christianity
and Islam. It explores how these three traditions are responding to
some of the most challenging issues associated with globalization,
including the role of religion in the fall of Communism; the
tension between religion and feminism; the compatibility of
religion and human rights; and whether ancient religions can
accommodate new challenges such as environmentalism. The five
textbooks and Reader that make up the Religion Today Open
University/Ashgate series are: From Sacred Text to Internet;
Religion and Social Transformations; Perspectives on Civil
Religion; Global Religious Movements in Regional Context; Belief
Beyond Boundaries; Religion Today: A Reader
