This unique collection explores the continuing invisibility of much
crime and victimization, and the lack of adequate responses to
them. Shaping the lens through which criminology and victimology is
approached in the twenty-first century, the volume examines major
issues including (in)justice, risks, rights, regulation and
enforcement.
This book offers an ethnographic study of the lives of girls in the
juvenile justice system. Based on rich, narrative accounts, the
girls at the center of the study are viewed as confronted with the
power of simultaneous race, class, and gender hierarchies. Through
this framework, we see how the girls navigate this challenge by
seeking status in their everyday lives: in their families; juvenile
justice institutions; and neighborhood organizations, including
gangs. Through analyzing the ways that the girls strive for higher
social status, this book provokes debate about how policies and
programs may be creatively rethought to incorporate this pursuit.
Girls and Juvenile Justice offers a glimpse into the hearts, minds,
and souls of adolescent girls. It will be of great interest for
scholars of criminal justice, sociology, women's studies, and
social-psychology.
This book examines George W. Bush’s legacy in terms of his
presidential leadership and politics and explains why he was the
most controversial president of recent times. It focuses on Bush’s
expansion of presidential power in pursuit of the “war on terror,”
the ideological and pragmatic foundations of his presidential
politics, and the complexity of his legacy in both foreign and
domestic policy. In addition to an introductory overview, it
contains ten original essays that assess the problems of rating the
Bush presidency, the nature of Bush’s presidential government,
ideology and ideas in the Bush presidency, the administration’s
economic and foreign policies, and the electoral context of the
times.
From the perspective of the North, the Civil War began as a war to
restore the Union and ended as a war to make a more perfect Union.
The Civil War not only changed the moral meaning of the Union, it
changed what the Union stood for in political, economic, and
transnational terms. This volume examines the transformations the
Civil War brought to the American Union as a
politico-constitutional, social, and economic system. It explores
how the war changed the meaning of the Union with regard to the
supremacy of the federal government over the states, the right of
secession, the rights of citizenship, and the political balance
between the union's various sections. It further considers the
effect of the war on international and transnational perceptions of
the United States. Finally, it considers how historical memory has
shaped the legacy of the Civil War in the last 150 years.
Ethics and Empowerment is a major contribution to the ongoing
debate about the role of business in society. People expect more
meaning and empowerment at work at a time when competitive
pressures are seducing business into taking ethical short-cuts. How
is this to be reconciled? Through a thorough examination of the
issues of power, control and autonomy addressing such questions as
empowerment being a matter of justice, through case-study based
examinations of the organisational experiences of empowerment
programmes and through looking at the ethics and empowerment debate
from the wider perspective of business and social responsibility,
this book seeks to make ethics more relevant and accessible to
today's business world.

The decade since Beckett's death has seen new interests in the
erotic sweeping through our culture, acting in uneasy counterpoint
to its established humanistic infrastructure and opening new
questions about the significance of sexuality. Surprisingly or not,
Beckett has startling further light to throw on the erotic
phenomenon variously but insistently recognised in our time. This
book is the first to propose a 'mythopoetics of sex' with which to
explore Beckett's work as a whole.
Current trends in stormwater management add pollution control to
existing priorities of flood protection and peakflow limits. From a
fundamental overview of supporting information on water quality,
statistics and hydrology to detailed sections devoted to treatment
and management practices, this book examines the latest treatment
practices and techniques for improving stormwater quality to
protect against stream, river and estuary degradation.
Federalism is often described as the greatest of the American
contributions to the art of government, but it has been an evolving
and protean entity since its original establishment in the
Constitution. Based on the contributions of international scholars,
this volume explores three facets of modern federalism: the
vertical tensions over the distribution of authority between
national and sub-national governments; the tensions between the
national government's role as the instrument of policy uniformity
throughout the nation and the inclination of the states to take
different approaches to similar issues in light of their own
political cultures; and the changing context of federalism in the
more conservative political context of recent times. In addition, a
number of the essays explore the Canadian model of federalism,
which helps to place the U.S. model in comparative context.
This book examines medium of instruction in education and studies
its social, economic, and political significance in the lives of
people living in South Asia. It provides insight into the meaning
of medium and what makes it so important to identity, aspiration,
and inequality. It questions the ideologized associations between
education and social and spatial mobility and discusses the gender-
and class-based marginalization that comes with vernacular-medium
education. The volume also considers how policy measures, such as
the Right to Education (RTE) Act in India, have failed to address
the inequalities brought by medium in schools, and investigates
questions on language access, inclusion, and rights. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the book will be
indispensable for students and scholars of anthropology, education
studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, and South Asian studies. It
will also appeal to those interested in language and education in
South Asia, especially the role of language in the reproduction of
inequality.
