Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This collection focuses on the existential predicaments and choices
that underpin current debates and developments in the governance of
crime and criminal justice and argues for the relevance of
existentialist thought for enhancing a critical and philosophically
inspired criminological imagination.
This book focuses on the experience of leaving unusual or extreme
situations: from military careers to religious communities,
subcultures, criminal groups and political leadership. It explores
how people become disillusioned with and disengaged from these
social worlds, challenging their sense of self-identity and
cultural belonging. Each chapter considers how participants
negotiate the process of 'role exit' and adjust to their new
identity back in the everyday world. Drawing on symbolic
interactionist and existentialist theories, the authors discuss how
ex-members dismantle and rebuild their lives in a search for
personal meaning.
