Download or read book Punishment and Shame written by Wendy C. Hamblet and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punishment is the imposition, by a legitimate authority, of a painful consequence upon one who has offended the social order by indulging in acts contrary to the social good. Punishment is understood to serve a primary objective in any society: it rehabilitates or reforms (re-forms or shapes anew) the psyches of social offenders to bring them in line with prevailing codes of behavior. Punishment thus is a highly conservative force, affirming simultaneously the codes of conduct deemed desirable within the society and the status quo of power relations that hold sway in the society. Punishment is a form of social teaching. One of the favorite forms of didactic pain to which legitimate authorities turn, in teaching conformity to social regulations, is the psychological pain of shame. Shame is a special favorite in the penology of societies of the Western world, whose governing logic is already grounded in the shame-based religions of Judaism and Christianity. Parents, school teachers, religious leaders, and state authorities readily employ shame as an effective method for teaching social lessons. Shame is a powerful force that reaches deep into the psyche of the offender and gnaws away at her sense of self-worth and identity, with longstanding and devastating existential effects. Shame has profound and enduring effects, because it has the capacity to transform an empirical fact (of having done something unacceptable) into an ontological reality (of being unacceptable as a human being). Shame dehumanizes. Shame is a powerfully effective tool for altering behavior, but because shame dehumanizes, it often fails to have the effect that the punisher is seeking to bring about. Shame sickens souls, rather than cures them. It sickens them to such a degree that shame more often acts as a promoter of criminality than as a teacher of the social good.

Book excerpt: An urgent, illuminating exploration of the social nature of shame and of how it might be used to promote large-scale political change and social reform. “[Jacquet] exposes the ways shame plays into collective ideas of punishment and reward, and the social mechanisms that dictate the ways we dictate our behavior.” —The Boston Globe Examining how we can retrofit the art of shaming for the age of social media, Jennifer Jacquet shows that we can challenge corporations and even governments to change policies and behaviors that are detrimental to the environment. Urgent and illuminating, Is Shame Necessary? offers an entirely new understanding of how shame, when applied in the right way and at the right time, has the capacity to keep us from failing our planet and, ultimately, from failing ourselves.
Download or read book Shame Blame and Culpability written by Judith Rowbotham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking collection of research-based chapters addresses the themes of shame, blame and culpability in their historical perspective in the broad area of crime, violence and the modern state, drawing on less familiar territories such as Russia and Greece, not just on material from familiar locations in western Europe. Ranging from the early modern to the late twentieth century, the collection has implications for how we understand punishments imposed by states or the community today. Shame, blame and culpability is divided into three sections, with a crucial case study part complementing two theoretical parts on shame, and on blame and culpability; exploring the continuance of shaming strategies and examining their interaction with and challenge to 'modern' state-sponsored blaming mechanisms, including allocations of culpability. The collection includes chapters on the deviant body, capital punishment and, of particular interest, Russian case studies, which demonstrate the extent to which the Russian, like the Greek, experience need to be seen as part of a wider European whole when examining ideas and themes. The volume challenges ideas that shame strategies were largely eradicated in post-Enlightenment western states and societies; showing their survival into the twentieth century as a challenge to state dominance over identification of what constituted 'crime' and also over punishment practices. Shame, blame and culpability will be a key text for students and academics in the fields of criminology and crime, gender or European history.
Download or read book So You ve Been Publicly Shamed written by Jon Ronson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a New York Times bestseller and from the author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. 'It's about the terror, isn't it?' 'The terror of what?' I said. 'The terror of being found out.' For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they're being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job. A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control. Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws - and the very scary part we all play in it.
Download or read book Shame Humiliation and Punishment in the Liberal Society written by Casey April Hall and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of citizens incarcerated in the United States reaches staggering proportions, there has been an increasing interest in alternative methods of punishment. In particular, a growing number of judges are assigning shaming or humiliating penalties, for example those in which the offender is ordered to wear a sign in public or make a formal apology. I argue that much of the contemporary discussion regarding the justifiability of such punishments assumes that shame and humiliation are the same things. I contend that there is an important distinction to be drawn between the two emotions. On my view, the belief that characterizes experiences of humiliation is, "I am in fact seen as lessened or diminished in the eyes of others whether I deserve to be seen in this way or not." On the other hand the characterizing belief in instances of shame is, "I deserve to be seen as lessened or diminished in the eyes of others whether I am in fact seen that way or not." Shame relates to one's values in a way that humiliation need not, and shame has a moral component that humiliation lacks. This has important implications when we turn to the issue of justification for these penalties. When the state seeks to humiliate an offender it seeks to diminish or demean him in the eyes of others, regardless of what he values. Since humiliation does not seek to engage with the values of the one being punished, I argue that such punishments are difficult to justify in a decent liberal society. True shaming penalties, on the other hand, are attempts to engage with the offender's moral reasoning and value system. For a liberal society, this raises questions about the legitimacy of using the system of criminal law to inculcate values. I conclude that shaming punishments are only justified under social conditions of communitarianism. These conditions do not obtain in our society at this time, and thus shaming punishments are currently unjustifiable.
Download or read book Punishments of Shame written by R. S. Mannheim and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a thousand years public humiliation has played a major role in the punishment of wrongdoers and the maintenance of law and order, both by the church and by the state.For these powerful entities, simply punishing the guilty was never enough. They felt a need to establish their supremacy by degrading those who dared to stand against them. Moreover, justice had to be seen to be done. In the Medieval town these punishments took place in public places so that the masses would be left in no doubt what sort of fate awaited anyone who dared to stand against the system.From the Middle Ages, through the Tudor period and the English Civil War. This use of public humiliation was employed at all levels of society, from the thrones of Europe to the meanest of city streets. Emperors, KIngs and their mistresses were required to perform shameful acts of public pennance for their misdeeds, while amongst the lower levels of society any vagrants, dishonest merchants, or immoral women were considered fair game for the magistrates who inflicted cruel punishments for quite minor crimes. This illustrated volume will investigate the history and usage of a wide range of punishments, which rely primarily on shame, rather than pain, including the pillory, the stocks, public scourgings, the ducking stool and other customs, less well known. There are over one hundred images, used to illustrate the technical details of the equipment used to inflict these cruel and ususual punishments on the men and women of years gone by.The studies shed fresh light on some issues which have previously been unclear, such as the difference between the ducking stool and the cucking stool, and the social isolation of criminals.There is also a study of the psychological issues involved in public humiliation, and an examination of how public humiliation has featured in modern times, from the atrocities of the Second World War to social shaming in the age of the internet.One additional bonus is to be found in the lists of stocks, pillories and other artefacts which have been preserved and can still be seen.
Download or read book Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law written by Maurice Adams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rule of law and constitutionalist ideals are understood by many, if not most, as necessary to create a just political order. Defying the traditional division between normative and positive theoretical approaches, this book explores how political reality on the one hand, and constitutional ideals on the other, mutually inform and influence each other. Seventeen chapters from leading international scholars cover a diverse range of topics and case studies to test the hypothesis that the best normative theories, including those regarding the role of constitutions, constitutionalism and the rule of law, conceive of the ideal and the real as mutually regulating.
Download or read book Crime Shame and Reintegration written by John Braithwaite and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Compliance written by Benjamin van Rooij and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 1559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.

Download or read book Shame Guilt written by Jane Middelton-Moz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is my feeling that debilitating shame and guilt are at the root of all dysfunctions in families,” says Jane Middelton-Moz. A few common characteristics of adults shamed in childhood: You may suffer extreme shyness, embarrassment and feelings of being inferior to others. You don’t believe you make mistakes, you believe you are a mistake. You feel controlled from the outside and from within. You feel that normal spontaneous expression is blocked. You may suffer from debilitating guilt; you apologize constantly. You have little sense of emotional boundaries; you feel constantly violated by others; you frequently build false boundaries. If you see yourself in any of these characteristics, you can learn how shame keeps you from being the person you were born to be and how to change that. Shame And Guilt describes how debilitating shame is created and fostered in childhood and how it manifests itself in adulthood and in intimate relationships. Through the use of myths and fairytales to portray different shaming environments, Dr. Middelton-Moz allows you to reach the shamed child within you and to add clarity to what could be difficult concepts. Read Shame and Guilt — you’re worth it.
