Rewriting Homeless Identity: Writing as Coping in an Urban Homeless
Community focuses on the identities of homeless writers, with
initially limited or no specialized training in writing, at a
homeless community church. Through an ethnographic, two-year study,
author Jeremy Godfrey hosted and participated in weekly writing
workshops. He also participated in the founding of a street
newspaper within that community. This book shows Godfrey's
experiences in leading writing workshops and how they promoted
self-exploration within this community. Students of the workshop
negotiated their unique, individual writing personas during the
study. Those personas were often coping with their experiences on
the streets. More importantly, the writers viewed those experiences
as central to their writing processes. Much like the setting of the
workshop at an urban, non-denominational, community church, the
writers honed their coping tactics through conversational and
performance-driven writings. Rewriting Homeless Identity highlights
those writing samples and the conversations with homeless authors
of the samples in relation to identity and a sense of growth.

This book uses historical data to directly address modern
criminological debates. There is currently a huge growth of
interest in histories of crime, and intellectual conversations and
connections between historians and criminologists are becoming much
more frequent. However, published work which uses historical data
to this extent is rare. This book's aim is to draw a wide audience
from the worlds of criminology, history, and social policy and
engage in a genuinely interdisciplinary debate. This book addresses
a number of important questions about offenders' persistence in, or
desistance from, crime and questions the current theoretical
frameworks that are given to explain why some people stop, or slow
down, their offending, and why offenders' children become involved
in crime. By using criminal registers, census material, and
newspaper reports from 1880 -1940 for one industrial town in
North-West England, this book asks how and why did some people stop
offending, and what part did employment, relationship formation,
and family responsibility play in that process; was criminality
passed on from parent to child, and if so, how; and to what extent
were persistent offenders also persistent victims?

The concept of human identity or who we really are has perplexed
thinkers in all ages. Currently psychologists have shunned
discussing this topic since it is an area that is incapable of
being objectified or accurately defined. Yet the lack of
self-knowledge is the problem of all problems. Due to such a lack
we, for the most part, lead lives fraught with illusions,
superficialities, and economic woes.
This book is about how we can know our real selves or our
genuine identity. It is the author's considered belief that we are
all far greater than what we think we are, and the more we know
about ourselves, the better we will be able, not only to make the
most of life, but also to solve effectively social, economic, and
political problems related to such areas as crime, poverty,
competition, capitalism, individualism, freedom, and democracy, as
well as war and peace. The viewpoint presented in this book is
that, without a thorough understanding of who we are, no meaningful
social reform can ever materialize.
The author, a psychologist and teacher, breaks new ground in
the field of understanding human identity and human problems. The
guidance offered should be of capital interest to those who seek in
life something deeper than the mere surface, something more than
what is promoted by the zeitgeist of recent centuries and
materialistic culture. The book is a valuable resource to readers
aiming to enhance their capacity to know themselves and find their
path in life.
The pedagogical and review lectures of this Institute focus on the
following areas: Precision Tests of the Standard Model, New
Collider Results, Non-Accelerator Physics.
