Pervasive Prevention - A Feminist Reading of the Rise of the Security Society (Paperback): Tamar Pitch Pervasive Prevention - A Feminist Reading of the Rise of the Security Society (Paperback)
Tamar Pitch
R1,699 Discovery Miles 16 990 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

`The Prevention Society' is a definition that can otherwise be summarized as: the information society, the risk society, the surveillance society or the insecure society. This book shows the connections and differences between these explanations, whilst providing a gender reading of the ways in which social control manifests itself through precautionary measures. Today's diffuse and pervasive prevention imperative symbolizes both a self-defining doctrine and the justification for a means of repression, segregation, and exclusion. From bodies to daily life and preventative war, Pervasive Prevention investigates the effects of this imperative for social control, its connection with neo-liberal hegemonic ideology, and the centrality in its dealings with women and the feminine.

Limited Responsibilities - Social Movements and Criminal Justice (Paperback): Tamar Pitch Limited Responsibilities - Social Movements and Criminal Justice (Paperback)
Tamar Pitch; Translated by John Lea
R1,442 Discovery Miles 14 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Limited Responsibilities explores the interaction between the criminal justice system and the wider concerns of political and social institutions, including the welfare state, social work and forensic psychiatry. Using the key concept of `responsibility', Tamar Pitch critiques the classical theories of Anglo-American and Italian criminologies, examining the allocation of responsibilities to individuals and society. Looking at the shifting political relationship between criminal justice and the welfare system, Pitch considers the problems which arise in our understandings of responsibility, particularly in relation to the young and the mentally disabled. She also documents the centrality of responsiblity as an issue in women's struggles for legislation on sexual violence, as a paradigm of the politicisation of notions of crime, victimization and criminal responsibility. Limited Responsiblities will be of interest to lecturers, students and professionals in criminology, social policy and women's studies.

Limited Responsibilities - Social Movements and Criminal Justice (Hardcover): Tamar Pitch Limited Responsibilities - Social Movements and Criminal Justice (Hardcover)
Tamar Pitch; Translated by John Lea
R5,280 Discovery Miles 52 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Responsibility" and the way in which it is defined, assumed and attributed in society is currently at the center of public debate both nationally and internationally. As the focus of political discussion, it also poses philosophical and juridical questons and is the underlying motive of many montemporary conflicts.
"Limited Responsibilities" analyzes the notions of responsibility in relation to social and political institutions and also individuals. Focusing particularly on the criminal justice system, it demonstrates how the breaking down of boundaries between institutions results in increased empowerment of the individual.
