Download or read book Metric Power written by David Beer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the powerful and intensifying role that metrics play in ordering and shaping our everyday lives. Focusing upon the interconnections between measurement, circulation and possibility, the author explores the interwoven relations between power and metrics. He draws upon a wide-range of interdisciplinary resources to place these metrics within their broader historical, political and social contexts. More specifically, he illuminates the various ways that metrics implicate our lives – from our work, to our consumption and our leisure, through to our bodily routines and the financial and organisational structures that surround us. Unravelling the power dynamics that underpin and reside within the so-called big data revolution, he develops the central concept of Metric Power along with a set of conceptual resources for thinking critically about the powerful role played by metrics in the social world today.

Download or read book Revitalizing Criminological Theory written by Steve Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a short, comprehensive and accessible introduction to Ultra-Realism: a unique and radical school of criminological thought that has been developed by the authors over a number of years. After first outlining existing schools of thought, their major intellectual flaws and their underlying politics in a condensed guide that will be invaluable to all undergraduate and postgraduate students, Hall and Winlow introduce a number of important new concepts to criminology and suggest a new philosophical foundation, theoretical framework and research programme. These developments will enhance the discipline’s ability to explain human motivations, construct insightful representations of reality and answer the fundamental question of why some human beings risk inflicting harm on others to further their own interests or achieve various ends. Combining new philosophical and psychosocial approaches with a clear understanding of the shape of contemporary global crime, this book presents an intellectual alternative to the currently dominant paradigms of conservatism, neoclassicism and left-liberalism. In using an advanced conception of "harm", Hall and Winlow provide original explanations of criminal motivations and make the first steps towards a paradigm shift that will help criminology to illuminate the reality of our times. This book is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of criminology, sociology, criminological theory, social theory, the philosophy of social sciences and the history of crime.

Download or read book The Harms of Work written by Lloyd, Anthony and published by Bristol University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the percentage of people working in the service economy continues to rise, there is a need to examine workplace harm within low-paid, insecure, flexible and short-term forms of ‘affective labour’. This is the first book to discuss harm through an ultra-realist lens and examines the connection between individuals, their working conditions and management culture. Using data from a long-term ethnographic study of the service economy, it investigates the reorganisation of labour markets and the shift from security to flexibility, a central function of consumer capitalism. It highlights working conditions and organisational practices which employees experience as normal and routine but within which multiple harms occur. Challenging current thinking within sociology and policy analysis, it reconnects ideology and political economy with workplace studies and uses examples of legal and illegal activity to demonstrate the multiple harms within the service economy.

Download or read book Deviant Leisure written by Thomas Raymen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-28 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a collection of critical essays that challenge the existing dogma of leisure as an unmitigated social good, in order to examine the commodification and marketisation of leisure across a number of key sites. Leisure and consumer culture have become symbolic of the individual freedoms of liberal society, ostensibly presenting individuals with the opportunity to display individual creativity, cultural competence and taste. This book problematizes these assertions, and considers the range of harms that emerge in a consumer society predicated upon intense individualism and symbolic competition. Approaching the field of commodified leisure through the lens of social harm, this collection of essays pushes far beyond criminology’s traditional interest in ‘deviant’ forms of leisure, to consider the normalized social, interpersonal and environmental harms that emerge at the intersection of leisure and consumer capitalism. Capturing the current vitality and interdisciplinary scope of recent work which is underpinned by the deviant leisure perspective, this collection uses case studies, original research and other forms of empirical enquiry to scrutinise activities that range from alcohol consumption and gambling, to charity tourism; CrossFit training; and cosmetic pharmaceuticals. Drawn from researchers across the UK, US, Europe and Australia, Deviant Leisure: Criminological Perspectives on Leisure and Harm represents the first systematic attempt at a criminological consideration of the global harms of the leisure industry; firmly establishing leisure as a subject of serious criminological importance.

Download or read book Sport in Prison written by Rosie Meek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although prison can present a critical opportunity to engage with offenders through interventions and programming, reoffending rates among those released from prison remain stubbornly high. Sport can be a means through which to engage with even the most challenging and complex individuals caught up in a cycle of offending and imprisonment, by offering an alternative means of excitement and risk taking to that gained through engaging in offending behaviour, or by providing an alternative social network and access to positive role models. This is the first book to explore the role of sport in prisons and its subsequent impact on rehabilitation and behavioural change. The book draws on research literature on the beneficial role of sport in community settings and on prison cultures and regimes, across disciplines including criminology, psychology, sociology and sport studies, as well as original qualitative and quantitative data gathered from research in prisons. It unpacks the meanings that prisoners and staff attach to sport participation and interventions in order to understand how to promote behavioural change through sport most effectively, while identifying and tackling the key emerging issues and challenges. Sport in Prison is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher, policy-maker or professional working in the criminal justice system with an interest in prisons, offending behaviour, rehabilitation, sport development, or the wider social significance of sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il processo penale a carico di imputati minorenni, regolato dalle disposizioni del d.p.R. 22 settembre 1988, n. 448, e, per quanto da esse non previsto, da quelle del codice di rito penale, ha avuto in sorte una vita meno travagliata rispetto al suo omologo a carico di imputati adulti, sebbene sia stato anch’esso oggetto di stratificazioni legislative e di declaratorie di illegittimità costituzionale. La quinta edizione del Manuale tiene conto della c.d. riforma Cartabia, attuata con tre decreti legislativi emessi in pari data (10 ottobre 2022), i d.lgs. n. 149, n. 150 e n. 151. Nel d.lgs. n. 149 del 2022 interessa la costituzione del tribunale per le persone, per i minorenni e per le famiglie, che esercita pure la giurisdizione in primo grado in materia penale e nella materia della sorveglianza. Nel d.lgs. n. 150 del 2022, che modifica talune norme del codice penale e del codice di procedura penale applicabili nel procedimento minorile, un capitolo a sé è costituito dalla giustizia riparativa, che vi trova una disciplina organica: ora il d.lgs. 19 marzo 2024, n. 31, detta disposizioni integrative e correttive a quest’ultimo decreto. Il d.lgs. n. 151 del 2022 contiene le norme sull’ufficio per il processo. Nella XIX legislatura si è assistito a un iperattivismo normativo sull’onda di drammatiche vicende concrete: sul piano interno, si annoverano provvedimenti ispirati a una logica securitaria, che si pongono spesso in rotta di collisione con i capisaldi del procedimento minorile. In specie, tale aspetto emerge per le misure limitative della libertà personale, con un più severo regime di durata di quelle cautelari, e nel nuovo art. 27-bis d.p.R. n. 448 del 1988 (percorso di rieducazione del minore). Sul versante europeo, vengono tratteggiati gli interventi normativi, a cominciare da quelli che hanno investito le tematiche dell’euro-mandato, della Procura europea, di Eurojust e del contrasto della diffusione di contenuti terroristici on line.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il processo penale a carico di imputati minorenni, regolato dalle disposizioni del d.p.R. 22 settembre 1988, n. 448, e, per quanto da esse non previsto, da quelle del codice di rito penale, ha avuto in sorte una vita meno travagliata rispetto al suo omologo a carico di imputati adulti, sebbene sia stato anch'esso oggetto di stratificazioni legislative e di declaratorie di illegittimità costituzionale. Connotato come "laboratorio" per le strategie di diversion, di recente importate nel tessuto codicistico (sospensione del procedimento con messa alla prova per gli adulti; esclusione della punibilità per particolare tenuità del fatto ex art. 131-bis c.p.), il corpus minorile affonda le proprie radici nella disciplina sovranazionale. Novità si profilano all'orizzonte: a livello europeo è in dirittura di arrivo la direttiva sulle garanzie procedurali per i minori indagati o imputati in procedimenti penali, mentre, sul piano interno, dovrebbe finalmente porsi mano all'elaborazione dell'ordinamento penitenziario minorile, mediante un'apposita delega al Governo.
