An Introduction to Criminological Theory and the Problem of Causation (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016): Jason Warr An Introduction to Criminological Theory and the Problem of Causation (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)
Jason Warr
R1,644 Discovery Miles 16 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This text offers a novel contribution to the literature on core criminological theory by introducing the complex issues relating to the structuring and analysing of causation. This text traces the paradigm shift, or drift, that has occurred in the history of criminology and shows how the problem of causation has been a leading factor in these theoretical developments. This short book is the first of its kind and is an introductory text designed to introduce both seasoned criminologists as well as students of criminology to the interesting intersections between the fields of criminology and the philosophy of the social sciences. The problem of causation is notoriously difficult and has plagued philosophers and scientists for centuries. Warr highlights the importance of grappling with this problem and demonstrates how it can lead to unsuccessful theorising and can prevent students from fully appreciating the development of thinking in criminology. This accessible account will prove to be a must-read for scholars of criminal justice, penology and philosophy of social science.

Forensic Psychologists - Prisons, Power, and Vulnerability (Hardcover): Jason Warr Forensic Psychologists - Prisons, Power, and Vulnerability (Hardcover)
Jason Warr
R3,126 R2,792 Discovery Miles 27 920 Save R334 (11%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book explores how forensic psychology has come to inhabit a central unifying discursive presence in the life world of modern carceral institutions. Providing a sociological and qualitative account of forensic practitioner psychologists, the author looks both in, and alongside, the work of such practitioners to explore how they simultaneously occupy positions of power and vulnerability. Focusing not only on how practitioners themselves come to embody a pervasive system of disciplinary expertise, but also on how they experience other forms of penal control, the book offers a novel and complete exploration of forensic psychology, the modern prison, and power. This is an accessible text for prison practitioners, criminological and sociological researchers and forensic psychologists on the nature and reality of forensic psychological practice in the contemporary prisons of England and Wales.

Sensory Penalities - Exploring the Senses in Spaces of Punishment and Social Control (Hardcover): Kate Herrity, Bethany E.... Sensory Penalities - Exploring the Senses in Spaces of Punishment and Social Control (Hardcover)
Kate Herrity, Bethany E. Schmidt, Jason Warr
R2,299 Discovery Miles 22 990 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Sensory Penalities reflects an explosion in explorations of the sensory and disrupts conventional expectations of both form and focus by expanding anthropological practices and craft into the field of criminology and criminological research. In providing accounts of physical/sensorial experiences within sites of surveillance and control, the authors in this edited collection bring elements of research experiences (often absent from existing work) to the fore; the impressions and sensual experiences which remain forever in field notes. In so doing they carve out spaces to consider these places and the ways in which they are theorised anew. The book aims to explore what sensory aspects of experience mean to those engaged in such research, and how they can shape our criminological thinking. What are the sensory textures of these experiences? What do they tell us? How do we communicate them? Finally, what does consideration of these elements tell us about penality? This timely volume challenges and remakes assumptions about what criminology is and should be; more accurately reflecting the post-disciplinary nature of the field.
