Understanding Crime and Social Policy Policy Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Understanding crime and social policy explores the interface between crime and social policy, drawing upon international theoretical developments and empirical research from within Criminology and Social Policy. Written by an experienced author, it uses analysis of policy-making under the New Labour and Conservative-Liberal Democrat governments to reflect upon the multiplicity of influences which shape the formulation and delivery of crime control policies, the changing nature of government and governance in neo-liberal societies, and the enhanced role of the welfare state in 'solving' crime 'problems'. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of policy examples including the resettlement of prisoners, problem drug use and 'troubled' families. Understanding crime and social policy encourages readers to reflect upon the close connections, and sometimes tensions, between crime reduction and social policy agendas and is aimed at least two audiences. The first is students on courses in criminology, criminal justice and social policy. The second is professionals from across the public, private and voluntary sector.

Understanding Peace and Conflict Through Social Identity Theory Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This volume brings together perspectives on social identity§and peace psychology to explore the role that categorization plays in both conflict§and peace-building. To do so, it draws leading scholars from across the world§in a comprehensive exploration of social identity theory and its application to§some of the world's most pressing problems, such as intrastate conflict,§uprising in the middle east, the refugee crisis, global warming, racism and peace building. A crucial theme of the§volume is that social identity theory affects all of us, no matter whether we§are currently in a state of conflict or one further along in the peace process.§§The volume is organized into two sections. Section 1 focuses§on the development of social identity theory. Grounded in the pioneering work§of Dr. Henri Tajfel, section 1 provides the reader with a historical background§of the theory, as well as its current developments. Then, section 2 brings§together a series of country case studies focusing on issues of identity across§five continents. This section enables§cross-cultural comparisons in terms of methodology and findings, and encourages§the reader to identify general applications of identity to the understanding of§peace as well as applications that may be more relevant in specific contexts.§Taken together, these two sections provide a contemporary and diverse account§of the state of social identity research in conflict situations and peace§psychology today.§§It is evident that§any account of peace requires an intricate understanding of identity both as a§cause and consequence of conflict, as well as a potential resource to be§harnessed in the promotion and maintenance of peace. Understanding Peace and Conflict Through Social Identity Theory: Contemporary Global Perspectives aims to help§achieve such an understanding and as such is a valuable resource to those§studying peace and conflict, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists,§public policy makers, and all those interested in the ways in which social§identity impacts our world.§
