Confession is good for the soul. It reveals the truth that we are,
as any other sinner, saved by the grace of God. To that end, our
greatest battles may be as grueling as those of David when he
encountered the lion, the bear, or especially the giant Goliath. As
this very personal story developed, snakes and other vicious
creatures made themselves known. In essence, it became a
revelation. Not every battle is won; sometimes we are overtaken,
and the scars of defeat will live with us forever. In the end, it
is most critical that we can boldly declare, "We have fought the
good fight. We have finished the race. We have kept the faith." Ask
yourself: How can one possibly get from here to there-from the
place of utter despair to one of absolute victory? In Some Things
You Never Forget, your own stories can become your path to victory,
for in them you can find the God of the impossible.
Invisible Crimes is an edited volume containing a collection of
articles from a distinguished panel of academics. The book explores
many features of 'invisible' crimes and in doing so provides
numerous examples of hidden crimes and victimisations. The book
will be invaluable to students of criminology at both undergraduate
and postgraduate level. It will also inspire academics from a range
of disciplines to update, rewrite and offer new courses on
neglected crimes and victimisations.
This handbook explores the concept of 'harm' in criminological
scholarship and lays the foundation for a future zemiological
agenda. 'Social harm' as a theoretical construct has become
established as an alternative, broader lens through which to
understand the causation and alleviation of widespread harm in
society, thus moving beyond criminology and state definitions of
crime and extending the range of criminological research. Applying
zemiological concepts, this book comprehensively explores topics
including violence, moral indifference, workplace injury, corporate
and state harms, animal rights, migration, gender, poverty,
security and victimisation. This definitive work covers theory,
research, scholarship and future visions across four sections, and
includes contributions from areas such as criminology, sociology,
socio-legal and cultural studies, social policy and international
relations. It offers readers up-to-date, original theoretical
perspectives and an analysis of a broad range of issues from a
'social harm' perspective.
Bringing together a range of perspectives, this book establishes a
criminology of the domestic, paying particular attention to
emerging spatial and relational reconfigurations. We move beyond
criminologies of public and urban domains to consider over-looked
non-public locales, and crimes and harms that occur in the home and
other private spaces. Developed in the context of the COVID-19
lockdowns, where distinctions between public and private became
increasingly untenable, the book considers how the pandemic has
accelerated new patterns of behaviour, enabled by technology and
shifting social relations. Drawing on a range of criminological
topics, including victimisation, offending, property and violent
crime, consumption, deviance and leisure, and zemiology, the book
argues that the domestic sphere, and its relation to the public
realm, needs to be more carefully conceptualised if criminology is
to respond to new spatial and relational dimensions of changing
lifestyles. An accessible and compelling read, this book will
appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology,
politics, geography, history, gender, surveillance and security and
all those interested in a criminology of the domestic sphere.

This textbook makes a concerted effort to expose crimes committed
by those wielding unfettered personal power and crimes by
corporations, business and states, crimes against human and
non-human species and the environment. It examines an increasingly
complex interplay of issues which surely should be at the heart of
any criminology programme. This text adopts a fresh and innovative
approach to exposing the crimes of the powerful, situating and
understanding crimes and victimisations as it does within a
framework where questions of structural and personal power in
society are key. Fourteen case studies are threaded throughout the
book and this methodology is used as a teaching resource for
studying and uncovering the crimes of the powerful. The first three
chapters comprehensively contextualise the problems of crime and
power and establish the importance of power to understanding crime
and victimisation in society. The chapters within Part I and Part
II of the book then explore individual and group power
respectively. Each of these chapters explore a case study or case
examples followed by 'Pause for Thought' questions. Bigger 'Go
Further' study questions are posed at the close of these chapters
challenging students to engage in their own case study research to
investigate the dynamics of crime and power.
Using psychological theory as a basis, Socializing Children through
Language examines naturally occurring conversations between mothers
and children in the context of achievement, self-regulation, food
consumption, and television watching to illustrate how families of
different socioeconomic means interact and discuss a variety of
topics in the home. Specifically, the chapters in this book draw on
enhanced audio recordings of over 40 families across a range of
education and income levels to investigate how mothers' language
relates to child behaviors over time. The unique pairing of this
digital observer data with empirical data on achievement tests,
regulation tasks, and parenting information on the home environment
collected one year later presents an altogether revolutionary way
to understand and think about how family socialization works across
socioeconomic levels.

This book explores what victimology, as both an academic discipline
and an activist movement, has achieved since its initial conception
in the 1940s, from a variety of experts' perspectives. Focussing on
nine, dynamic and contemporary case studies covering topics like
violence against women and girls, bereaved family activism, and
environmental victims and climate change activists, each chapter
critically examines how different crime victims have been
politicised and explores the impact of victim-centred reforms upon
criminal justice professional cultures. This book comprehensively
and critically examines the historical, social and political
factors, including the work of activists, that have shaped the
development of theories, policies and reforms in this field,
including how victimhood has come to be understood and responded
to. The chapters also consider the future developments of this
area, including how digital technologies are creating new forms and
experiences of victimisation. Speaking to undergraduates,
postgraduates and professionals in criminal justice and third
sector organisations, this book discusses the links between theory,
policy and professional practice and how they contribute to and
facilitate debates regarding what the role of crime victims is in a
21st century criminal justice system.
