Oxford University Press Inc Silent Covenants
Book SynopsisWhen the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education was handed down in 1954, many civil rights advocates believed that the decision finding public school segregation unconstitutional could become the Holy Grail of racial justice. Fifty years later, despite its legal irrelevance and the racially separate and educationally ineffective state of public schooling for most black children, Brown is still viewed by many as the perfect precedent. Derrick Bell here shatters this shining image of one of the Court''s most celebrated rulings. He notes that, despite the onerous burdens of segregation, many black schools functioned well and racial bigotry had not rendered blacks a damaged race. Brown''s recognition of racial injustice, without more, left racial barriers intact. Given what we now know about the pervasive nature of racism, the Court should have determined--for the first time--to rigorously enforce the equal component of the separate but equal standard. By striking it down, the Court intended both to improve the Nation''s international image during the Cold War and offer blacks recognition that segregation was wrong. Instead, the Brown decision actually enraged and energized its opponents. It stirred confusion and conflict into the always vexing question of race in a society that, despite denials and a frustratingly flexible amnesia, owes much of its growth, development, and success, to the ability of those who dominate the society to use race to both control and exploit most people, black and white.Racial policy, Bell maintains, is made through silent covenants--unspoken convergences of interest and involuntary sacrifices of rights--that ensure that policies conform to priorities set by policy-makers. Blacks and whites are the fortuitous winners or losers in these unspoken agreements. The experience with Brown, Bell urges, should teach us that meaningful progress in the quest for racial justice requires more than the assertion of harms. Strategies must recognize and utilize the interest-convergence factors that strongly influence racial policy decisions. In Silent Covenants, Bell condenses more than four decades of thought and action into a powerful and eye-opening book.Trade Review"Bell, always a self-consciously provocative writer, remains true to form in Silent Covenants. In his most creative chapter, Bell imagines an alternative Brown decision that would have upheld segregation but insisted on the equalization of resources between blacks and whites. Had that road been followed, he suggests, black children might have gotten the education they needed and deserved."--Boston Globe"Provocatively sardonic.... His pervasive melancholy may surprise readers who expect movement veterans to celebrate victories rather than rue their missteps, but to Bell the very perception of Brown as a victory is a 'mirage' that must be vanquished."--Chicago Tribune"Mournful.... Captures the significance of Brown at the time of its pronouncement and of African Americans' then-unconquerable optimism about the country's ultimate goodness."--Debra J. Dickerson, Mother Jones"Bell's wide-ranging provocations effectively challenge those who still consider Brown the 'Holy Grail of racial justice.'"--Publishers Weekly"A bold and sobering counterproposal."--The New Yorker

Oxford University Press HATE
Book SynopsisThe updated paperback edition of HATE dispels misunderstandings plaguing our perennial debates about hate speech vs. free speech, showing that the First Amendment approach promotes free speech and democracy, equality, and societal harmony. As hate speech has no generally accepted definition, we hear many incorrect assumptions that it is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected from censorship. Rather, U.S. law allows government to punish hateful or discriminatory speech in specific contexts when it directly causes imminent serious harm. Yet, government may not punish such speech solely because its message is disfavored, disturbing, or vaguely feared to possibly contribute to some future harm. Hate speech censorship proponents stress the potential harms such speech might further: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been little analysis of whether censorship effectively counters the feared injuries. Citing evidence from many countries, this book shows that hate speech are at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive. Therefore, prominent social justice advocates worldwide maintain that the best way to resist hate and promote equality is not censorship, but rather, vigorous counterspeech and activism.Trade ReviewNadine Strossen speaks power to Hate. * Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair *I have said it before about books, but this time I couldn't be more emphatic about it: everyone should read this book. * Lucy Kogler, LitHub *While other countries provide significant protection for free expression, the United States provides a significantly elevated level of protection, particularly for hateful speech. Nadine Strossen's insightful and eminently readable study on why we protect such speech and why we should continue to do so is an all-too-rare example of first-rate legal scholarship that the public at large can learn from and savor reading. * Floyd Abrams, Senior Counsel, Cahill Gordon & Reindel; Adjunct Professor, NYU Law School; Author, The Soul of the First Amendment *Strossen has accomplished something remarkable in this slim book - she has ventured into a complex and heavily examined field and produced a book that is original, insightful, and clear-headed.

Oxford University Press, USA Press and Speech Under Assault The Early Supreme Court Justices the Sedition Act of 1798 and the Campaign Against Dissent
Book SynopsisThe early Supreme Court justices wrestled with how much press and speech is protected by freedoms of press and speech, before and under the First Amendment, and with whether the Sedition Act of 1798 violated those freedoms. This book discusses the twelve Supreme Court justices before John Marshall, their views of liberties of press and speech, and the Sedition Act prosecutions over which some of them presided. The book begins with the views of the pre-Marshall justices about freedoms of press and speech, before the struggle over the Sedition Act. It finds that their understanding was strikingly more expansive than the narrow definition of Sir William Blackstone, which is usually assumed to have dominated the period. Not one justice of the Supreme Court adopted that narrow definition before 1798, and all expressed strong commitments to those freedoms. The book then discusses the views of the early Supreme Court justices about freedoms of press and speech during the national controversy over the Sedition Act of 1798 and its constitutionality. It finds that, though several of the justices presided over Sedition Act trials, the early justices divided almost evenly over that issue with an unrecognized half opposing its constitutionality, rather than unanimously supporting the Act as is generally assumed. The book similarly reassesses the Federalist party itself, and finds that an unrecognized minority also challenged the constitutionality of the Sedition Act and the narrow Blackstone approach during 1798-1801, and that an unrecognized minority of the other states did as well in considering the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. The book summarizes the recognized fourteen prosecutions of newspaper editors and other opposition members under the Sedition Act of 1798. It sheds new light on the recognized cases by identifying and confirming twenty-two additional Sedition Act prosecutions. At each of these steps, this book challenges conventional views in existing histories of the early republic and of the early Supreme Court justices.Trade Review[Bird's] book provides an important corrective to misinformation or missing information about this important period in First Amendment history. * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *Table of ContentsTable of Contents PREFACE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ABBREVIATIONS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 THE RIGHT TO DISSENT, AND THE GROWTH OF FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY CHAPTER 2 THE CRIME OF SEDITIOUS LIBEL, AND ENGLAND'S LIMITATION OF FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 3 THE COLLISION OF SEDITIOUS LIBEL AND FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH IN AMERICA'S CONSTITUTIONAL PERIOD CHAPTER 4 THE INITIAL SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR VIEWS ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 5 THE SUCCESSOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR VIEWS ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 6 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE SITTING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THE TRIALS CHAPTER 7 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE MISSING HALF OF THE SEDITION ACT CASES CHAPTER 8 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE REMAINING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ON THE SEDITION ACT Chapter 9 THE FEDERALIST JUSTICES AND THE REPUBLICAN CRITICS: HISTORICAL MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT FREEDOM INDEX

Oxford University Press Inc Saving the News
Book SynopsisA detailed argument of how our government has interfered in the direction of America''s media landscape that traces major transformations in media since the printing press and charts a path for reform. In The Changing Ecosystem of the News, Martha Minow takes stock of the new media landscape. She focuses on the extent to which our constitutional system is to blame for the current parlous state of affairs and on our government''s responsibilities for alleviating the problem. As Minow shows, the First Amendment of the US Constitution assumes the existence and durability of a private industry. Although the First Amendment does not govern the conduct of entirely private enterprises, nothing in the Constitution forecloses government action to regulate concentrated economic power, to require disclosure of who is financing communications, or to support news initiatives where there are market failures. Moreover, the federal government has contributed financial resources, laws, and regulations Trade ReviewWhat the book does do rather successfully is destroy the myth that any and all forms of support for the media will necessarily undermine democracy and speech freedom. * Damian Tambini, Distinguished Policy Fellow, and Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at LSE, E-International Relations *What is remarkable about Martha Minow's book is that she is pragmatic about the enormous potential that this new form of content curation brings to society ...

Oxford University Press Medical Law
Book SynopsisMedical law is concerned with our bodies, and what happens to them during and after our lives. When things go wrong with our bodies, we want to know what our rights are, and what governs the conduct of the clinicians into whose hands we put our lives and limbs. Dealing with matters of life and death, it can therefore have a fundamental impact on medical practice. Headlines in the media often involve the core issues of medical law - organ transplantation, abortion, withdrawal of treatment, euthanasia, confidentiality, research on humans - these are topics that affect us all. Headlines can misrepresent, however. In order to fully understand the issues and their relevance, we have to delve into the cases and into the principles behind them. In this highly readable Very Short Introduction, Charles Foster explores different examples to illustrate the key problems and principles of medical law.

Taylor & Francis Ltd SelfDeclaration in the Legal Recognition of
Book SynopsisSelf-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender examines the impact of legislation premised upon the principle of self-declaration' of legal gender status. Existing doctrinal and comparative analyses have tended to come out strongly in favour of, or against, self-declaration. This book offers a socio-legal alternative which focuses on how self-declaration is experienced, on an embodied level, by trans and gender diverse people. It presents research conducted in Denmark, which became the first European state to adopt self-declaration in June 2014. By analysing Danish law through a Foucauldian framework which brings together socio-, feminist, and trans legal scholarship on embodiment and jurisdiction, the book offers the first empirically based and theoretically informed analysis of self-declaration. It draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability, and governmentality literatures to argue that the jurisdictional boundaries which existed between law Trade Review"Self-Declaration cuts through frequent misunderstandings around ‘gender ‘self-ID’’. It gets behind the headlines, reflecting upon what experiences of the categories of sex and gender mean for law. Dietz's concept of ‘legal embodiment’ explores how bodies become sites of regulation. Based on original research in Denmark, the book brings the voices of those seeking – and resisting – gender recognition into sharp focus." Sally Hines, Department of Sociological Studies, The University of Sheffield, UK"Understanding the juridical situation of trans people in Denmark and worldwide has never been more urgent. Self-declaration makes an important contribution to this area. Its theoretical scope – which draws upon feminist theory, affect theory, and studies of governmentality – constitutes a novel intervention into discussions of trans identities and justice. This book will be invaluable to researchers, stakeholders, and the public." Mons Bissenbakker, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"Dietz gives us a timely investigation of the self-declaration model for gender recognition. His socio-legal study provides a fresh perspective on the exercise of medical and legal power, and how trans people adapt to, resist or reshape this configuration. Sophisticated, but accessible, radical, but pragmatic, Self-Declaration will be an essential resource for all concerned with the future of gender." John Harrington, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK"In Self-Declaration, Dietz neither romanticizes the fact of legal recognition nor forgets the continued power of institutions like the state and the hospital. The result is a refreshing, sophisticated integration of transgender studies, legal studies, and feminist theories that is a must-read for anyone trying to understand what changes in the legal regulation of gender will mean in practice."

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Young People Social Media and the Law
Book SynopsisThis book critically confronts perceptions that social media has become a âwastelandâ for young people. Law has become preoccupied with privacy, intellectual property, defamation and criminal behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and youth, this book argues, these preoccupations â whilst important â have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much broader, and more positive, consideration of the nature of social media. In particular, the legal tendency to consider social media as âdangerousâ for young people â to focus exclusively on the need to protect and control their online presence and privacy, whilst tending to suspect, or to criminalise, their use of it â has obscured the potential of social media to help young people to participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood, and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material, this book argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different â and more progressive âconceptualisation of children and youth.Table of Contents1.

Surveying colonial North American law and history, the book interrogates the origins of racial inequality and injustice in American society, and details how the invention still serves to protect the ruling elite to the present day. This second edition documents the proliferation of ideas imposed and claimed throughout history that have conspired to give content, form, and social meaning to one's racial classification. Beginning its expanded narrative with the development of diverse Native American societies through contact with European colonizers in the Tidewater region, and progressing to the emigration of Mexicans, Irish, and other non-whites, this new edition addresses the ongoing production and reproduction of whiteness as a distinct and dominant social category. It also looks to the future by developing a new, applied framework for counteringTrade ReviewDrawing on history and law, Birth of a White Nation reveals how, when, where, and why a group called "white people" was first created in colonial North America.

Book SynopsisThe book provides an in-depth discussion of democratic theory questions in relation to refugee law.The work introduces readers to the evolution of refugee law and its core issues today, as well as central lines in the debate about democracy and migration. Bringing together these fields, the book links theoretical considerations and legal analysis. Based on its specific understanding of the refugee concept, it offers a reconstruction of refugee law as constantly confronted with the question of how to secure rights to those who have no voice in the democratic process. In this reconstruction, the book highlights, on the one hand, the need to look beyond the legal regulations for understanding the challenges and gaps in refugee protection. It is also the structural lack of political voice, the book argues, which shapes the refugee's situation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transnational Crime
Book SynopsisThis volume offers a diverse set of perspectives on transnational crime. Providing a wide-ranging overview of the legal and policy issues that arise in connection with various forms of transnational crime, the authors outline the criminal justice responses adopted across different jurisdictions. Including contributions from high profile Chinese and European academics and practitioners across a variety of disciplines and methodological backgrounds, the authors address some of the hitherto underexplored issues related to transnational crime. These range from trafficking in cultural objects derived from illicit metal-detecting and metal-detecting tourism in China to the European approaches to criminalising the denial of historical truth. The central theme of the book is that useful lessons can be drawn from each other's experiences, and that a cross-fertilisation of domestic approaches to transnational crime is essential to effective cooperation.This book will be of usTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd EcoLaw
Book SynopsisThis book re-imagines law as ecolaw.The key insight of ecological thinking, that everything is connected to everything else at least on the earth, and possibly in the cosmos has become a truism of contemporary theory. Taking this insight as a starting point for understanding law involves suspending theoretical certainties and boundaries. It involves suspending theory itself as a conceptual project and practicing it as an embodied and material project. Although an ecological imagining of law can be metaphorical, and can be highly imaginative and suggestive, this book shows that it is also literal. Law is part of the material everything' that is connected to everything else. This means that once the previous certainties of legal thinking have been dismantled, it is after all possible to think of law as natural' as embedded in and emergent from a normative biophysical nature. The book proposes that there exists a natural nomos: animals, plants, and Earth systems that pTable of ContentsIntroduction, 1. A New Living Law, 2. Teleologies of the Nonhuman, 3.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Writing with Sweet Clarity
Book SynopsisIn this book, criminologist and experienced educator John E. Eck draws on decades of academic and professional writing experience to provide an analytical toolkit for clear professional writing. This book focuses on the essential objective of clarity, and addresses topics seldom addressed in other books, such as ethics beyond plagiarism; writing with co-authors; organizing complex ideas; using analytics to improve writing; crafting strong beginnings and endings; using examples and metaphors; and integrating tables, charts, and diagrams. As universities continue to demand writing-intensive courses in the social sciences, this book is indispensable in university settings and throughout a professional career. The reader will use the practical advice, examples, and exercises in this book to master a method for clear writing unimpaired by stereotypical academic jargon. The book will help both new and seasoned researchers seeking to translate their work into a clear and accessible Trade Review"Eck makes a convincing argument that complex prose or attempts to sound clever lead to frustrated readers and muddled ideas. He presents practical techniques to encourage us to write clearly and introduces tools that can help us to evaluate our progress. There is also lots of fun along the way."Kate Bowers, Head of the Department of Security and Crime Science, University College London, UK"John Eck’s Writing with Sweet Clarity is an imaginative, comprehensive, and altogether persuasive and practical 'kit of tools' for improving student writing. I enthusiastically recommend the book for advanced undergraduate, master's, and PhD students. The book can assist students regardless of their professional aspirations." Thomas Blumberg, Dean and Sheldon L. Messinger Professor of Criminology, College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida State University, USA"Eck provides an essential resource for anyone working in the social sciences with this clever, simple, and useful guide to good writing. He takes you through key principles for each stage of the writing process, including important tips for creating the tables, graphs, and diagrams. This book is an exemplar of writing at its best!"Danielle Reynald, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Griffith University, Australia"In true Eckian fashion, John cuts through the problems of convoluted academic writing and provides straightforward guidance for us all. This guidebook is a must-have for students and early academics who want to be educated and entertained about the basics of simple, meaningful, and audience-specific writing."Cynthia Lum, Department of Criminology, Law and Society, George Mason University, USA; and Co-Editor-In-Chief of the Journal Criminology and Public Policy"Few academic programs provide systematic training in writing—the major form of scholarly and professional communication. Writing with Sweet Clarity fills this gap. John Eck develops the insight that the measure of a text is its success in communicating with its readers. His treatment is comprehensive and systematic. And he followed his own good advice, writing a text that will hold the attention of undergraduates and professionals alike."Paul DiMaggio, New York University, Department of Sociology, USA; and A. Barton Hepburn Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Public Affairs, and Senior Scholar, Sociology Department, Princeton University, USA "Finally, a contemporary work full of tips and exercises to improve writing process. Eck’s practical guide infuses humor and kindness as he explains everything from the basics, to writing with co-authors, to editing and reviews. Writing with Sweet Clarity is now required reading for my graduate and honours students and strongly recommended in my other classes. A must read for anyone seeking to improve their written communication or wanting to help others improve theirs."Sheri Fabian, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Canada; and Winner of the 2019 3M National Teaching Fellowship awarded by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education"The role of policing is changing, and our writing must be clear, concise, and convincing. Eck’s ten simple commandments will entertain you and improve your writing skills. I found his book witty and easy to read. Every police officer needs this book."Maris Herold, Chief of Police, Boulder (Colorado) Police Department, USA"Writing in English is challenging for non-native English speakers like myself. We tend to write long sentences to appear sophisticated but create sentences that are hard to comprehend. I could not agree with John more on writing short sentences using active voice to alleviate this problem. I highly recommend this book to anyone in geography, planning, sociology, criminology, or related fields."Lin Liu, Department of Geography and GIS, University of Cincinnati, USA"In a world where we increasingly communicate by tweets and emojis, John Eck has published this marvelous book as a public service. Clarity of expression is vital in the arena of crime and policing decision-making. Students of this book will improve not just their grade, but also their connection to readers and policy makers."Jerry Ratcliff, Department of Criminal Justice, Temple University, USA; Retired London Metropolitan Police officer, and host of the popular Reducing Crime podcast"John Eck’s Writing with Sweet Clarity is a tour de force on the craft and joy of academic writing in the social sciences.

Rights of Passage serves to document the particular rationality by which sidewalks are understood, regulated, and evaluated. Blomley argues that an inability to appreciate what leads to an engineer's narrow "goal of balancing street traffic in an inclusionary and rational manner" (p. 30) is to miss how such spaces for the public are reproduced over time.

Book SynopsisLaw and the Politics of Memory: Confronting the Past examines law's role as a tool of memory politics in the efforts of contemporary societies to work through the traumas of their past. Using the examples of French colonialism and Vichy, as well as addressing the politics of memory surrounding the Holocaust, communism and colonialism, this book provides a critical exploration of law's role in belated' transitional justice contexts. The book examines how and why law has become so central in processes in which the past is constituted as a series of injustices that need to be rectified and can allegedly be repaired. As such, it explores different legal modalities in processes of working through the past; addressing the implications of regulating history and memory through legal categories and legislative acts, whilst exploring how trials, restitution cases, and memory laws manage to fulfil such varied expectations as clarifying truth, rendering homage to memory anTable of ContentsChapter I: Introduction, Chapter II: European Memory: Memory Claims and their Legal ‘Regulation’ in the European Union, Chapter III: France and Challenges to French Universalism: Towards Accepting Collective Responsibility for Vichy Crimes, Chapter IV: Trial About Discourse: Torture During the Algerian, Chapter V: Memory Laws and the Politics of Victimhood, Chapter VI: Conclusion: Why Law?, Bibliography, Index

Cambridge University Press hinduismandlaw
Book SynopsisCovering the earliest Sanskrit rulebooks through to the codification of 'Hindu law' in modern times, this interdisciplinary volume examines the interactions between Hinduism and the law. The authors present the major transformations to India's legal system in both the colonial and post colonial periods and their relation to recent changes in Hinduism. Thematic studies show how law and Hinduism relate and interact in areas such as ritual, logic, politics, and literature, offering a broad coverage of South Asia's contributions to religion and law at the intersection of society, politics and culture. In doing so, the authors build on previous treatments of Hindu law as a purely text-based tradition, and in the process, provide a fascinating account of an often neglected social and political history.Trade Review'[This] book has established connections between bodies of knowledge that were hitherto unconnected and, thereby, initiated a discourse in which all scholars of the polity and the law should be engaged.'

The complex issues physicians deal with include informed consent and patient decision-making capacity, use of advance care planning and decision-making by family and medical staff, and withdrawing and withholding life-sustaining interventions. Broader questions include: has aging been over medicalized? Is it ethical for older patients to receive less medical care than younger ones, through unspoken practice or formal rationing? Is there inevitable conflict between the generations over scarce medical resources? How should physician, patient and family confront end-of-life decisions? How have different nations responded to increasing numbers of the elderly? Have social values changed as to family responsibility and individual autonomy?

John Lachs, Vanderbilt University, USA 'This collection of essays makes a powerful and coherent case for a renascent pragmatism as a tool and organizing principle for socio-legal research - and for the talents of a new generation of scholars embracing this tool. The uninitiated reader will learn important insights into the contribution and history of pragmatism, while those more familiar with pragmatism will see its particular utility for cutting-edge socio-legal research - superbly exemplified in this volume.' Bryant Garth, American Bar Foundation, USA 'This marvelously organized and researched set of essays provides readers both new and more familiar with pragmatism as a philosophy and form of politics with insightful commentary and interpretations. This book should help mobilize that renaissance its title announces. A much needed and welcome addition of use to just about every field of social inquiry.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Governing Risks The International Library of
Book SynopsisContemporary law and government are increasingly characterized by a focus on risk. Fields such as health, psychiatry, criminal justice, vehicle safety, urban design and environmental governance all provide examples of settings in which problems are dealt with as risks. While risk has become more prominent, there have also been changes in the nature of risk techniques deployed. Whereas welfare states provided many services through socialized risk - such as social insurances covering health, employment and old age - increasing emphasis is now placed on individual risk management arrangements such as private insurance. In this environment, the positive side of risk has also been made more salient. Enterprise, innovation and risk-taking have become qualities valued, or even required, of current governance. In this volume, the most influential examinations and interpretations of this major trend have been brought together, in order to make clear the range and diversity, the spread and penetration of risk in contemporary societies.Table of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Theoretical and Empirical Studies of Rights The
Book SynopsisThis important volume examines rights from an inter-disciplinary law and society perspective, beginning with the premise that the most basic functions of rights requires the empirical study of rights consciousness and claiming behavior. As such the volume includes articles and essays by political scientists, historians, lawyers, and sociologists which place the study of ordinary citizens'' understandings of rights, and what actions they take based on that knowledge, at the forefront of an empirical research agenda. This has important implications for law''s capacity to achieve social change and can lead to better understanding of how rights can and should operate in a social and legal system. The volume is organized around the social movements and political processes which give rise to rights, the processes by which people come to understand they enjoy a right, the decision to invoke the right either formally or informally, and the organizational and institutional constraints and opporTable of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction; Part I Historical and Philosophical Perspectives on Theories of Rights: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations; Of property, John Locke; Constitutional democracy: a paradoxical union of contradictory principles?, Jürgen Habermas; The model of rules, Ronald M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime Criminal Justice and Masculinities
Book SynopsisThis volume features the leading contemporary articles that are part of, or related to, the ''new masculinities'' approach in this sphere. These comprise an impressive range of theoretical and empirical work including important cultural and ethnographic analyses. They emphasise the relationship between masculinities, the causes and patterns of most criminal offending and victimisation and the broader workings of the wider criminal justice system of policing (public and private), criminal courts, corrections and prisons. All of the material has been selected from flagship international journals and was produced by a global mix of male and female researchers with diverse disciplinary backgrounds. These scholars share the view that masculinities are plural, socially constructed, reproduced in the collective social practices of different men and embedded in institutional and occupational settings. Furthermore, masculinities are intricately linked with social struggles for power that occur Table of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction; Part I Theoretical Perspectives: Daubing the drudges of fury: men, violence, and the piety of the 'hegemonic masculinity' thesis, Steve Hall; Subordinating hegemonic masculinity, Tony Jefferson; On hegemonic masculinity and violence: response to Jefferson and Hall, R.W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Drugs of Abuse The International Scene Volume I 1
Book SynopsisGlobalization and attendant modernization has increased both the supply and the demand for drugs around the world. Drug abuse is no longer the concern of only the developed world. Countries without histories of drug use, particularly developing countries, are now reporting problems of abuse because they have become transit points for international drug trafficking.
