American Psychological Association Criminality in Context
Book SynopsisIn this groundbreaking book that is built on decades of work on the front lines of the criminal justice system, expert psychologist Craig Haney provides a blueprint for fundamental reform by changing our understanding of who commits crime and why. Based on a comprehensive review and analysis of psychological research, Haney offers a carefully constructed framework for enhancing legal fairness and reducing crime through proactive prevention instead of reactive punishment. Haney meticulously reviews evidence documenting the ways in which a person’s social history, institutional experiences, and present circumstances powerfully shape their life course, with a special focus on the role of social, economic, and racial injustice in crime causation. He thus effectively debunks the “crime master narrative”—the widespread myth that criminality is a product of free and autonomous “bad” choices—an increasingly anachronistic view that cannot bear the weighTrade ReviewInstead of punitive, oppressive, and racist social control, the author vividly delineates a model of compassionate, innovative, and progressive reforms that will transform the current “politically” driven, chaotic system into an effective criminal justice model. Including policing, the judicial system, and the penal system in the realm of criminal justice reform, Criminality in Context is a wonderful read for all people vested in better understanding the intersections among crime, legal and penal policy, and the criminal justice system as a whole. * Choice Reviews *Table of ContentsForeword, by Shadd Maruna Preface Introduction Chapter 1: Individualistic Myths and the Crime Master Narrative Chapter 2: Risks and Contexts: An Alternative Paradigm for Understanding Criminality Chapter 3: Criminogenic Trauma: Social History and the Life Course Chapter 4: Institutional Failure: State Intervention as Criminogenic Risk Chapter 5: Criminogenic Contexts: Immediate Situations, Settings, and Circumstances Chapter 6: Poverty: Structural Risk and Criminal Behavior Chapter 7: The Criminogenics of Race in a Divided Society: Racialized Criminality and Biographical Racism Chapter 8: Individualistic Myths and the Disregard of Context: Deconstructing “Equally Free Autonomous Choice” Chapter 9: Reorienting the Law: Context-Based Legal Reforms Chapter 10: Pursuing Social Justice: An Agenda for Fair, Effective, and Humane Crime PolicyAfterword

University of Toronto Press Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev
Book SynopsisHow did the Soviet Union control the behaviour of its people? How did the people themselves engage with the official rules and the threat of violence in their lives? In this book, the contributors examine how social control developed under Stalin and Khrushchev. Drawing on deep archival research from across the former Soviet Union, they analyse the wide network of state institutions that were used for regulating individual behaviour and how Soviet citizens interacted with them. Together they show that social control in the Soviet Union was not entirely about the monolithic state imposing its vision with violent force. Instead, a wide range of institutions such as the police, the justice system, and party-sponsored structures in factories and farms tried to enforce control. The book highlights how the state leadership itself adjusted its policing strategies and moved away from mass repression towards legal pressure for policing society.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Homelessness: A Critical Introduction
Book SynopsisHomelessness is a punishing condition that inflicts unquestionable harm on those who experience it. It is also a social problem that starkly lays bare deep societal failure.As Cameron Parsell shows, society – along with the public policy measures intended to address it – treats being homeless as an identity, casting those who experience homelessness as fundamentally different from “us.” To be homeless is to face daily victimization, to be a recipient of someone else’s care, and to have autonomy taken away. Parsell argues that we have at our disposal the knowledge and momentum to demonstrably reduce and even end homelessness. Our first task is to confront the fact that homelessness is a relatively predictable phenomenon that disproportionately impacts people who are failed by society in myriad ways. We must respond to the problem in ways that understand and thus do not recreate the dehumanizing conditions experienced by those who are homeless. Homelessness is a choice: of how we organize society.Sketching the defining features of homelessness, this critical introduction will be a valuable resource for students studying homelessness, housing, marginality, and poverty across the social sciences and social work.Trade Review“This is one of the best texts on the homelessness problem to date, whose wisdom is sure to influence our thinking for years to come. Cameron Parsell, an international expert in the field, draws on his direct service experience, his deep research knowledge, his first-hand engagement with the people who must endure homelessness, and his understanding of the public discourse on poverty and housing policy.”Dennis Culhane, University of Pennsylvania“As I would expect from Professor Parsell, this book is engaging, incisive and utterly compelling. It provides a comprehensive yet highly accessible analysis of homelessness across the wealthy democracies, offering the reader a humane, readable but always challenging perspective on an enduring and unacceptable social injustice. I was particularly pleased to see the book debunk harmful myths that romanticize homelessness as a lifestyle ‘choice’ and assume all and any charitable ‘giving’ to homelessness is an unalloyed good. I would highly recommend it to students, scholars, policy makers and also the general reader and concerned citizen who wants to see an end to this devastating social harm that rich countries can and should make a choice to end.”Suzanne Fitzpatrick, Heriot-Watt University“An affecting, cogently argued, and important work, Homelessness: A Critical Introduction not only dismantles socially destructive preconceptions, but replaces them with practical solutions benefiting both those who experience homelessness and the general population.”The AustralianTable of ContentsChapter 1: What is Homelessness?

Bristol University Press Criminal Justice and the Pursuit of Truth
Book SynopsisCan the criminal justice system achieve justice based on its ability to determine the truth? Drawing on a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, this book investigates the concept of truth – its complexities and nuances – and scrutinizes how well the criminal justice process facilitates truth-finding. From allegation to sentencing, the chapters take the reader on a journey through the criminal justice system, exposing the marginalization of truth-finding in favour of other jurisprudential or systemic values, such as expediency, procedural fairness and the presumption of innocence. This important work bridges the gap between what people expect from the criminal justice system and what it can legitimately deliver.Table of ContentsThe Criminal Process and the Pursuit of Truth Allegations Confessions Witness Testimony Truth and the Probity of Evidence-Gathering Decisions and Narratives: Factfinding and Case Construction Truth and the Criminal Trial: Competing Stories Truth, Sentencing and Punishment Restoration, Reconciliation and Reconceptualizing Justice The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth: The Truth of Who Is to Blame

Bristol University Press Wildlife Criminology
Book SynopsisThis illuminating study explores crimes against, and involving, wildlife and the resultant social harms. The authors go well beyond basic conceptions of animal-related crime, such as illicit trade, for a deeper exploration of wildlife criminology, using a novel approach that combines philosophical, legal and criminological perspectives. They shed light on both legal and illegal harms, including blood sports, wildlife as food and abuse in zoos, and consider the potential connections with inter-human crimes. This is a unique treatment of wildlife as victims of crime and a consideration of their rights as sentient beings that sets new horizons for the concept of wildlife criminology.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Wildlife and Criminology; Wildlife as Property; Wildlife as Food; Wildlife for Sport; Wildlife as Reflectors of Violence; Wildlife and Interpersonal Violence; Animal Rights and Wildlife Rights; The Future of Wildlife Criminology.

Bristol University Press European White-Collar Crime: Exploring the Nature
Book SynopsisFrom corporate corruption and the facilitation of money laundering, to food fraud and labour exploitation, European citizens continue to be confronted by serious corporate and white-collar crimes. Presenting an original series of provocative essays, this book offers a European framing of white-collar crime. Experts from different countries foreground what is unique, innovative or different about white-collar and corporate crimes that are so strongly connected to Europe, including the tensions that exist within and between the nation-states of Europe, and within the institutions of the European region. This European voice provides an original contribution to discourses surrounding a form of crime which is underrepresented in current criminological literature.Table of Contents1.

Wilfrid Laurier University Press Lying Down in the Ever-Falling Snow: Canadian Health Professionals' Experience of Compassion Fatigue
Book SynopsisFirst used to describe the weariness the public felt toward media portrayals of societal crises, the term compassion fatigue has been taken up by health professionals to name - along with burnout, vicarious traumatization, compassion stress, and secondary traumatic stress - the condition of caregivers who become ""too tired to care."" Compassion, long seen as the foundation of ethical caring, is increasingly understood as a threat to the well-being of those who offer it.Through the lens of hermeneutic phenomenology, the authors present an insider's perspective on compassion fatigue, its effects on the body, on the experience of time and space, and on personal and professional relationships. Accounts of health professionals, alongside examinations of poetry, images, movies, and literature, are used to explore the notions of compassion, hope, and hopelessness as they inform the meaning of caring work. The authors frame their exposé of compassion fatigue with the very Canadian metaphor of ""lying down in the snow."" If suffering is imagined as ever-falling snow, then the need for training and resources for safe journeying in ""winter country"" becomes apparent. Recognizing the phenomenon of compassion fatigue reveals the role that health services education and the moral habitability of our healthcare environments play in supporting professionals' ability to act compassionately and to endure.Trade ReviewThis book should be required reading in the education of all health and human service professionals. Although technical and therapeutic expertise is a core foundation of competent, ethical, and safe practice, education often neglects compassion fatigue as a central aspect of human relationship. Also neglected is the meaning of human suffering-much to the consistent detriment of service providers and those for whom they care, particularly in the context of increased market-driven healthcare. This book can create the foundation for much-needed open conversations about these pressing issues. -- Elizabeth McGibbon, Ph.D., RN, editor of Oppression: A Social Determinant of Health (2012)Table of ContentsTable of Contents for Lying Down in the Ever-Falling Snow: Canadian Health Professionals' Experience of Compassion Fatigue, by Wendy Austin, E.

NewSouth Publishing Australia's Welfare Wars: The players, the politics and the ideologies
Book SynopsisIn this fully revised third edition of Australia’s Welfare Wars, Philip Mendes questions many of the key values and assumptions that determine contemporary social welfare policies, and the factors and forces that shape these policies in Australia.Rather than concentrating on the history of the welfare state, or the process of making social policy, Mendes examines welfare politics in Australia from a broad political perspective, exploring the role played by key socio-economic players and their respective ideologies in the political struggles around welfare. The book looks closely at: the influence of ideas and ideologies – such as neoliberalism, laborism, social democracy and social investment – on the welfare state how different local interest and lobby groups influence welfare policy the significant impact of economic globalisation, and global social policy trends, on Australian welfare policy debates.

Liverpool University Press Everyday Citizenship and People with Dementia
Book SynopsisEveryday Citizenship and People with Dementia prioritises the ordinary lives of people with dementia, and thereby broadens the agenda towards everyday citizenship. The contributors bring to the fore the idea that a person living with dementia has multiple opinions, identities and a stake in society. The notion of everyday citizenship is used to shift the focus away from care settings and diagnostic and post-diagnostic support - all of which are important, of course - to the ‘normal’ everyday routines and settings of a person’s life. The notion of citizenship is mobilised within a range of contexts from dealing with the welfare system to living and being a part of a neighbourhood. Each chapter focuses on everyday citizenship from the perspective of people living with dementia and shows how citizenship is a necessity for a vibrant, inclusive society. The discussion is informed by empirically based work and authored by experts from different parts of the world, including Canadian and Scots citizens who are living with dementia. The stress, throughout the book, is that the everyday and mundane is not only important in a practical sense but also in a political one. The book is thus for all interested in current debates about equality and the rights of people with dementia.Trade Review'This small book claims that individuals with dementia have a right to experience 'everyday citizenship'. By drawing on evidence from informal collaboration with individuals who have dementia, the book's arguments achieve a powerful authenticity. Reading the book helped me to realise that I had unwittingly fallen into the trap of viewing dementia as a disease that causes a swift and sudden end to individual capabilities. The book helped me to think again, and to acknowledge that dementia is a progressive disease. Individuals who receive a dementia diagnosis may retain considerable mental capability for a number of years after their diagnoses; therefore social workers need to respect their personhood and right to everyday citizenship. The book provides a good, easily graspable tool for acquiring increased understanding of dementia and developing practice that promotes inclusion as part of citizenship.'European Journal of Social WorkTable of ContentsEditor biographies.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Collaboration in Public Service Delivery: Promise
Book SynopsisThe growing intensity and complexity of public service has spurred policy reform efforts across the globe, many featuring attempts to promote more collaborative government. Collaboration in Public Service Delivery sheds light on these efforts, analysing and reconceptualising the major types of collaboration in public service delivery through a governance lens. Featuring careful analysis with a global scope, this book unpacks the concept of collaborative service delivery and its practice, drawing from the fields of public policy, public administration, and management. Chapters by leading authors in these areas address service delivery arrangements including co-production, co-management, consultations, contracting-out, commissioning and certification. With a keen focus on conditions that are critical for the success of such collaborative arrangements, as well as their different pathways and pitfalls, the authors suggest ways to improve the analytical, managerial and political capacities needed for successful collaboration in public service delivery. This timely and comprehensive book is useful for students at all levels interested in public policy, governance, administration and management, as well as researchers investigating the governance of collaborative service delivery. Policymakers and practitioners working to re-evaluate and improve public service provision, especially, will also benefit from its insightful discussions of the conditions and mechanisms under which collaborative arrangements operate and fail or succeed.Trade Review'This stimulating collection makes a timely effort to unite different approaches to collaborative public service delivery. It will be of interest to anyone looking for an up-to-date overview of the latest development in this area of research.' --Taco Brandsen, Radboud University, the Netherlands'Collaboration between government and non-government organisations to deliver services and implement policies has burgeoned recently, in both print and practice.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Collaboration in Public Service Delivery: Promise
Book SynopsisThe growing intensity and complexity of public service has spurred policy reform efforts across the globe, many featuring attempts to promote more collaborative government. Collaboration in Public Service Delivery sheds light on these efforts, analysing and reconceptualising the major types of collaboration in public service delivery through a governance lens. Featuring careful analysis with a global scope, this book unpacks the concept of collaborative service delivery and its practice, drawing from the fields of public policy, public administration, and management. Chapters by leading authors in these areas address service delivery arrangements including co-production, co-management, consultations, contracting-out, commissioning and certification. With a keen focus on conditions that are critical for the success of such collaborative arrangements, as well as their different pathways and pitfalls, the authors suggest ways to improve the analytical, managerial and political capacities needed for successful collaboration in public service delivery. This timely and comprehensive book is useful for students at all levels interested in public policy, governance, administration and management, as well as researchers investigating the governance of collaborative service delivery. Policymakers and practitioners working to re-evaluate and improve public service provision, especially, will also benefit from its insightful discussions of the conditions and mechanisms under which collaborative arrangements operate and fail or succeed.Trade Review'This stimulating collection makes a timely effort to unite different approaches to collaborative public service delivery. It will be of interest to anyone looking for an up-to-date overview of the latest development in this area of research.' --Taco Brandsen, Radboud University, the Netherlands'Collaboration between government and non-government organisations to deliver services and implement policies has burgeoned recently, in both print and practice.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The European Social Model and an Economy of
Book SynopsisThis timely book critically examines the European Social Model as a contested concept and concrete set of European welfare and governance arrangements. It offers a theoretical and empirical analysis of new economic models and existing European investment strategies to address key issues within post-Covid-19 Europe.The authors explore the structural inequalities that have been shaped by strong imbalances in the relationship between public health, work, formal and informal care, inequality, poverty and the labour market across Europe. They then assess the potential of new economic models and measures, when combined with existing European governance and collaborative welfare arrangements, to repair the European Social Model. With a particular focus on policy measures that affect young and older people in Europe, chapters also provide a critical insight into the fragmented, multi-actor and multidimensional process of building a European social space that has led to the hybridization of welfare systems.Offering a firm theoretical foundation to the understanding of European welfare arrangements and the social open method of coordination, this book will be a valuable resource for academics and students of European social policy, comparative social policy and European governance. Its analysis of empirical evidence relating to the implementation of policy measures will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners working in health, social care and welfare fields.Trade Review'The authors provide the reader with the analytical tools needed to understand what has been defined as the ''European social model'' and to grasp some of the most pressing challenges it is undergoing, including the Covid-19 stress test.' -- - Yuri Kazepov, University of Vienna, AustriaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword ix 1 Introduction: healing the divisions – restoring the foundations for a ‘Social Europe’ 1 Marion Ellison, Giovani Bertin and Giuseppe Moro 2 Moving forward together?

Book SynopsisWith new devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, this book makes a comprehensive assessment of the impact of devolution on social policy. It provides a study of developments in the major areas of social policy and a full comparison between Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. To what extent is it valid to speak of agendas for government driven by social policy? With new governments in each country, has a fresh dynamic been given to the emergence of distinct social policies?

Policy Press A generation of change, a lifetime of
Book SynopsisThis innovative book addresses the historical development of social and fiscal policies from the late 1970s to the present day by asking what has changed, how these changes have affected the lifecourse and what the potential lifetime impacts of policy change are. This book provides an overview of the development of policy change over the period and uses an innovative and unique lifetime approach "from the cradle to the grave" to put it into perspective. The authors begin by reviewing the political changes and policy story since the 1970s and demonstrate the economic and social changes that have occurred alongside. The book then takes an innovative approach in looking at specific programmes about crucial aspects of the lifecycle - from maternity and childhood, through to adult events and risks before finally looking at retirement, survivorship and death. Finally, profiles of three hypothetical "families" - the Meades, who are median earners, the Moores, high earners and the Lowes who are low paid - are developed for 1979, 1997 and 2008 to provide a comprehensive discussion of policy change and make innovative insights for the future. This is the first book to join up the history of policy direction with an analysis of outcomes over the whole period. It will therefore be ideal for students of social policy and attract a wide readership interested in pensions, children's support and related issues.Trade Review"This is an important book: full of relevant research findings, clear exposition, and judicious judgements." Citizen's Income Newsletter"..will provide a rich source for furthering the study, teaching and analysis of social policy." Simon Rahilly in Journal of Social Policy"Adopting a truly original perspective Evans and Williams have provided an immensely valuable book, demonstrating how social policy and taxation have profound effects on all of us at different points during our lives. The book will be an immense asset for the social policy community and a major contribution to the literature on social policy in the UK generally - and on the way in which social policy (and taxation) has contributed to changing living standards since the mid 1970s in particular. It is a major tour de force and unrivalled in its breadth, range and empirical scope. I am convinced that the book will become a major reference text for research as well as teaching in social policy and sociology, particularly in courses centred on inequality, lifetime perspectives, social security and taxation, as well as the empirical underpinning and outcomes of policy reform since the mid 1970s." Jochen Clasen, School of Social and Political Studies, University of Edinburgh"This original study of British social policy over the last three decades provides an utterly novel understanding of the British welfare state 'from cradle to grave' (now 'from buggy to crematorium') and the transformed society within which it operates. Evans and Williams have written an ambitious, imaginative and timely book that takes the best of British social policy analysis to a new level. It will be a must-read for students, researchers and policy makers."

A hundred years after its philanthropist founder identified poverty, alcohol, drugs and gambling among the social evils of his time, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation initiated a major consultation among leading thinkers, activists and commentators, as well as the wider public. The findings have now been brought together in this fascinating book. Individual contributors range across the political spectrum but the book also reports the results from a web survey and consultation with groups whose voices are less often heard. The results suggest that while some evils - like poverty - endure as undisputed causes of social harm, more recent sources of social misery, such as an alleged rise in selfish consumerism and a perceived decline in personal responsibility and family commitment, attract controversy.Trade Review"A splendid series of thought-provoking studies on the social evils of our time, blessedly free of nostalgia, an essential contribution to a much-needed national debate on the society we seek to make for the sake of those who will come after us."
