Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical and Intersectional Gang Studies
Book SynopsisThis book offers a critical and empirical examination of gang life, using an intersectional framework considering race, class, gender, and other characteristics. The book reexamines mainstream definitions of gangs, identifies myths and misconceptions, and presents the complex subcultural or countercultural realities of gang members and their associates. Special attention is given to the importance of structural violence experienced by gang members and their communities. This book also interrogates how mainstream gang research is complicit in the oppression of marginalized individuals who join gangs.Assembling contributions from leading experts involved in gang research and the investigation of street gang culture, this book provides a perspective often missing in the conversation around gangs. Direct input from current and former gang members provides a window into the lived experiences of gang lifea picture more accurate and useful than that afforded by the privileged lens oTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Section 1: Gang DefinitionChapter 2: "Gang Ain’t In My Dictionary": Utilizing Insider Perspectives to Develop a Critical Gang DefinitionJennifer M.

Taylor & Francis Adoption Law and Human Rights
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, there have been many changes to adoption law and practice, such as a sharp decline in the voluntary relinquishment of children, an increase in the number consigned to public care, and an abrupt decrease in those made available on an intercountry basis. Additionally, human rights are becoming more prominent, particularly in relation to issues such as: non-consensual adoption; the ethics of intercountry adoption; the eligibility of LGBT adopters; the impact of commercial surrogacy; and the sometimes conflicting rights of birth parents and adoptees when accessing agency birth records. In this book, OâHalloran presents a comparative analysis of the interaction between adoption law and human rights in common law (England and the US), civil law (France and Germany), and Asiatic traditions (Japan and China), while also developing a matrix of legal functions to assist in identifying and analysing areas of tension between human rights and adoption. This book Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2: Chapter One: Human Rights and the Concepts, Principles and Social Construct of Adoption; 3. Chapter Two: The Domestic Legal Framework; 4. Chapter Three: The International Legal Framework and Intercountry Adoption; 5: Chapter Four: The Adoption Process, Human Rights and the ECtHR; 6: Chapter Five: England; 7: Chapter Six: The US; 8: Chapter Seven: France; 9: Chapter Eight: Germany; 10: Chapter Nine: Japan; 11: Chapter Ten: China; 12: Chapter Eleven: Adoption and Human Rights: National Tensions and International Standards; 13: Conclusion.
