Environmental Crime and Criminality
Theoretical and Practical Issues
AvSally M. Edwards,Terry D. Edwardsm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 1995
2 423 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
First published in 1996. One of the primary goals of this series has been to explore new areas of criminology and criminal justice, topics that constitute the frontiers of the field. This work, edited by Sally Edwards, Terry Edwards and Charles Fields exemplifies that purpose in its coverage of environmental crime. While corporate and political crime developed slowly into mainstream criminology over the last half century, environmental crime, as an area of emphasis is still in its infancy. It is unusual to have many varied and informative perspectives early in a subject's development. This volume, however, demonstrates that many people are already examining environmental crime perhaps as an extension of both the greater environmental movement and the broadening of the popular parameters of crime.

Lawful Order
A Case Study of Correctional Crisis and Reform
AvLeo Carroll
Häftad, Engelska, 1999
611 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Prisons remain a controversial topic for debate in our society. While few doubt the necessity of their existence, there is considerable debate over their purpose, organization, and processes. Do prisons exist to rehabilitate, punish, or simply incarcerate? How do we judge prison conditions? If those conditions are found to be unacceptable, how do we change them? What are a prisoner's rights? This book charts the history of Rhode Island's Adult Correctional Institutions over the past 40 years. Professor Carroll examines the radical transformation of Rhode Island prisons in response to changes in their external environment, and determines that the transformation can be seen to manifest five distinct stages: patriarchy, anarchy, restoration, threat, and consolidation.

An Alternative Paradigm
AvFrank P. Williams 3rd
Häftad, Engelska, 2019
484 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
First published in 1999. This concludes work on a series Current Issues in Criminal Justice. Criminology. The book represents another milestone in a criminologist’s journey to uncover some “truths” about the discipline and to reflectcritically on how that field has evolved. This journey, some of youmay remember, began in The Sociology of Criminological Theory:Paradigm or Fad and continued in The Demise of the CriminologicalImagination. To date, this latest work has already attracted considerabledebate and in the tradition of C. Wright Mills, engendered somewhatheated discussion about the philosophy of criminology and the logic ofits paradigms. What is perhaps most exciting about this work is that it is critical, in the true sense of critical, a term that has been abused and overused.

Southern Subculture of Drinking and Driving

AvJulian B. Roebuck,Komanduri S. Murty

568 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
First published in 1996. The Southern Subculture of Drinking and Driving is part of the Criminal Justice series. Volumes in the Current Issues in Criminal Justice series focus on scholarship, original thought and research, and readability. This one is no different. Julian B. Roebuck and Komanduri S. Murty have produced a volume that will be of vital interest to those who study and create policy on drunken driving ? one of the more enduring social problems of the past two decades. The volume has two major components that make it unique in the drunken driving literature. First, Roebuck and Murty focus on drunken drivers themselves and, through the use of a large dataset, add to our knowledge of that group of people by describing their characteristics. Second, and perhaps more important, Roebuck and Murty delve into the phenomenology of the drunken driver through a lengthy interview process.

First published in 2000. This series is dedicated to creative, scholarly work in criminal justice and criminology. Moreover, we ask the authors to emphasize readability. In this anthology Martin Schwartz and Dragan Milovanovic have managed to produce a work that is a combination of both. They also did this in the face of difficulties presented by a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodologies. The subject matter of this anthology-race, gender, and class-is a critical one for criminology.
