This edited collection offers the first system-wide account of the
impact of COVID-19 on crime and justice in England and Wales. It
provides a critical discussion of the challenges faced by criminal
justice agencies (prison, probation, youth justice, courts,
police), professionals and service users in adapting to the
extraordinary pressures of the pandemic on policy, practice and
lived experience. The text integrates first-hand narrative and
artistic accounts from a variety of key stakeholders experiencing
the criminal justice system (CJS). The editors recommend a range of
evidence-based policy and practice improvements, not only in terms
of planning for future pandemics, but also those that will benefit
the CJS and its stakeholders in the longer term.

The Reflective Museum Practitioner explores a range of expansive
and creative ways in which the concept of "reflective practice" has
been applied in the informal STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics) learning environments of museums and
zoos. It seeks to demonstrate how such a process can inspire
lifelong learning in practitioners, to the benefit of practitioners
and visitors alike. Presenting six projects that employed
reflective practice, the contributors examine how each project has
encouraged and sustained reflection, and the outcomes thereof. The
projects cover a wide range of different practitioners-including
administrators, scientists, educators, and other front-line and
back-room staff-who work at different junctures of their
organizations. Collectively, they raise key questions about
changing communities of practice in Informal Science Learning
institutions. The projects and concept of "reflective practice" are
fully defined and contextualized by the editors, who offer in-depth
analysis, along with a cultural-historical activity theory
framework, for understanding how changes in museum practice unfold
in an institutional context. The Reflective Museum Practitioner
offers museum professionals insight into "reflective practice," as
practiced by other institutions in their sector, providing
practical examples that can be adapted to their needs. It will also
be of interest to scholars and students focusing on science
museums, or professional practice development in museums.
Written in 1836, Woyzeck is often considered to be the first truly
modern play. The story of a soldier driven mad by inhuman military
discipline and acute social deprivation is told in splintered
dialogue and jagged episodes, which are as shocking and telling
today as they were when first performed, almost a century after the
author's death, in Munich 1913. This edition contains introductory
commentary and notes by Laura Martin from the University of
Glasgow. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT EDITIONS are expertly annotated
texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic
repertoires. A well as the complete text of the play itself, this
volume contains: * A chronology of the play and the playwright's
life and work * an introductory discussion of the social,
political, cultural and economic context in which the play was
originally conceived and created * a succinct overview of the
creation processes followed and subsequent performance history of
the piece * an analysis of, and commentary on, some of the major
themes and specific issues addressed by the text * a bibliography
of suggested primary and secondary materials for further study.

This book offers a systematized overview of Ian Hacking's work. It
presents Hacking's oeuvre as a network made up of four
interconnected key nodes: styles of scientific thinking &
doing, probability, making up people, and experimentation and
scientific realism. Its central claim is that Michel Foucault's
influence is the underlying thread that runs across the Canadian
philosopher's oeuvre. Foucault's imprint on Hacking's work is
usually mentioned in relation to styles of scientific reasoning and
the human sciences. This research shows that Foucault's influence
can in fact be extended beyond these fields, insofar the underlying
interest to the whole corpus of Hacking's works, namely the
analysis of conditions of possibility, is stimulated by the work of
the French philosopher. Displacing scientific realism as the
central focus of Ian Hacking's oeuvre opens up a very different
landscape, showing, behind the apparent dispersion of his works,
the far-reaching interest that amalgamates them: to reveal the
historical and situated conditions of possibility for the emergence
of scientific objects and concepts. This book shows how Hacking's
deployment concepts such as looping effect, making up people, and
interactive kinds, can complement Foucauldian analyses, offering an
overarching perspective that can provide a better explanation of
the objects of the human sciences and their behaviors.

These essays by leading theorists and researchers in sociocultural,
cognitive, developmental and educational psychology honour the
memory of Sylvia Scribner, whose work is recognized by each of the
authors as seminal to their own thinking. The themes include the
relationship between history and culture, the importance of context
to thinking, the place of literacy in human activity and thought,
and cognition in school and in the workplace. The volume presents
applications of activity theory to fundamental issues in human
behaviour at work, in school, and in problem solving situations,
and it analyses historical-societal processes in science and
culture. Scribner's conviction that science holds a responsibility
to human welfare and understanding is carried on in these chapters.
Sociocultural Psychology is crucial reading for researchers and
graduate students in sociocultural, cognitive, developmental and
educational psychology.
In the latter part of the twentieth century, the topic of
generalizations of convexfunctions has attracted a sizable number
of researchers,both in ma- ematics and in professional disciplines
such as economics/management and engineering. In 1994 during the
15th International Symposium on Mathem- ical Programming in Ann
Arbor, Michigan, I called together some colleagues to start an
a?liation of researchers working in generalized convexity. The
international Working Group of Generalized Convexity (WGGC) was
born. Its website at www.genconv.org has been maintained by
Riccardo Cambini, University of Pisa. Riccardo's father, Alberto
Cambini, and Alberto's long-term colleague Laura Martein in the
Faculty of Economics, University of Pisa, are the - authors of this
volume. My own contact with generalized convexity in Italy
datesbacktomy?rstvisittotheirdepartmentin1980,atatimewhenthe?rst
international conference on generalized convexity was in
preparation. Thirty years later it is now referred to as GC1, an
NATO Summer School in V- couver, Canada. Currently WGGC is
preparing GC9 which is to take place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. As
founding chair and also current chair of WGGC, I am delighted to
see the continued interest in generalized convexity of functions,
augmented by the topic of generalized monotonicity of maps. Eight
international conferences have taken place in this research area,
in North America (2), Europe (5) and Asia (1). We thought it was
now time to return to Asia since our membership has shifted towards
Asia. AsanappliedmathematicianIhavetaughtmostlyinmanagementschools.
