Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1878 Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. SOCIAL LIFE. At Nomunniburgh the sentiment of kinship, usuallyconfined to blood-relations, is extended by each of the citizens to all the rest. Family ties are not considered more close or more binding than the ties of co-citizenship. In fact, the proverb which says that "blood is thicker than water" does not apply here. In social intercourse, and in all the transactions between the citizens, the same is "brother, and sister, and mother," whether living under the one roof, and of one family or not. This extension of the feeling of kinship from the few to the many has, of course, when effectually carried out (and the teaching that all men are brethren forms part of the vital education), the most happy results. Many of the miseries and feuds which disturb social and political life arise from the habit of viewing with suspicion and distrust our neighbours and their doings; while much of the happiness of family life comes from the feeling that here, at any rate, we are safe from betrayal, and sure of more or less sympathy and support. Even among the most depraved it is not often brother will defraud brother, or a son ruin his father, at least wittingly. Further, it will readily be allowed, I think, that children, in large families, grow up with greater good-fellowship, and larger sympathies towards each other and the outside world, than those of small families. That it is not invariably the case I admit, but nevertheless the tendency is naturally in this direction. For in large circles the intercourse with others, of each member, being greater, the sympathetic instincts become widened, and this leads to more all-round sociability. What, then, must be the beneficial result when those affections which usually twine round some very few individuals are...

Book Deviant Knowledge

Download or read book Deviant Knowledge written by Reece Walters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important and original book, Reece Walters examines the politics of criminology and the ways in which criminological knowledge is generated. It includes an overview of the politics and practice of conducting criminological research (drawing upon material from Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the USA), and the ways that regulatory and governing authorities set research agendas, manipulate the processes and production of knowledge and silence or suppress critical voices through various techniques of neutralisation. The book argues for 'knowledges of resistance' - a position that promotes critique, challenges concepts of power and social order, wrestles with notions of truth and adheres to intellectual autonomy and independence. It provides invaluable insights into the relationship between the criminological researcher, public officials and corporate representatives. Drawing upon a wide range of interviews with academics and administrators from government and business, the book provides rare insights into the ways that knowledge about crime and criminal justice is produced and consumed, revealing why certain topics of criminological enquiry are rarely funded and why others receive ongoing political and governmental support. The book will be essential reading for anybody interested in the development of criminological theory and research, and the context and influences that shape it.
