Governing Delinquency Through Freedom
This book analyses the non-custodial government of young offenders in two major cities in Brazil. In doing so, it delves into the paradox of an institution exerting control over youths while at the same time promoting their autonomy and responsibility. The study sheds light on the specific logics of power, control, and inequality produced by such institutional settings. The book’s analysis is based on an ethnographic study of ‘Assisted Freedom’ (Liberdade Assistida) – a form of probation – in the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. This particular context – which is characterized by endemic violent crime, on the one hand, and a highly protective juvenile justic...
Assessing Prostitution Policies in Europe
Once again, prostitution occupies a prominent position on public and political agendas, both nationally and internationally. A topic of concern and interest within social and academic realms, it is a highly moralised, contested issue that is at the centre of heated and drawn-out debates. With each chapter dedicated to a separate country and written by a national authority on the subject, Assessing European Prostitution Policies seeks to explore how prostitution is regulated in 21 European countries, thus drawing out important implications for an effective and humane prostitution policy. Indeed, this innovative volume brings together systematic accounts of how national and local forms of gove...
Transitions Out of Crime
This book contributes to our knowledge of desistance in a developing country. Offering an intercultural dialogue with mainstream explanations, Transitions Out of Crime analyses the transition from crime to conformity among a group of Chilean juvenile offenders. Desistance from crime is not just the cessation of criminal activity itself, but a process of acquiring roles, identities, and virtues; of developing new social ties, and of inhabiting new spaces. This book offers new evidence that shows that the traditional binary between the ‘reformed desister’ and the ‘anti-social persister’ is inaccurate and that the road to desistance contains various oscillations between crime and conformity. Furthermore, this study shows the role that gender plays in shaping, limiting and structuring pathways away from crime. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to those engaged in criminology, sociology, penology, desistance, rehabilitation, gender studies and all those interested in the transition from crime to conformity outside the Anglo-American orthodoxy.
The Architecture of Desistance
The volume of studies into desistance has grown dramatically in recent years. Much of this research has focused on the internal dynamics of desistance such as decision-making, choice and restraint. Bringing together leading figures and drawing upon case studies from around the world, this book seeks to fill a vacuum in the contemporary literature on desistance by considering processes and practices at a societal level that influence how and why people desist from crime. Beginning with an outline of what is known about how social, cultural and economic structures shape desistance from crime, this book proceeds to explore studies of desistance in countries such as the UK, Brazil, France, Israe...
Desistance and Societies in Comparative Perspective
Scholarly exploration into how and why people stop offending (desistance from crime) has focused on the impact of internal and external factors in processes of desistance. Prior research has, in general, been undertaken within one nation and neglected the fact that desistance processes are situated within a broad social context which shapes an individual’s perceptions and actions. This book begins to fill this gap by exploring how societies and cultures shape desistance processes and experiences. Desistance and Societies in Comparative Perspective offers findings from a cross-national comparative mixed-method study of desistance processes in England and Israel: two countries with different...
Prison Education and Desistance
This book explores prisoners’ experiences of prison education and investigates whether participation in prison education contributes to an offender’s ability to desist from crime and increases social capital levels. While the link between prison education and reduced rates of recidivism is well established through research, far less is known about the relationship between prison education and desistance. The book demonstrates how prisoners experience many benefits from participating in prison education, including increased confidence, self-control and agency, along with various other cognitive changes. In addition, the book examines prisoners’ accounts that provide evidence of strong c...
Strafverfolgung - Individuum - Öffentlichkeit im Spannungsfeld der Wahrnehmungen
Le bon fonctionnement du système pénal implique des interactions entre ses acteurs. Du juge au condamné, en passant par les experts et autres témoins ou lésés, la perception qu'ont les uns des autres et les attentes qu'ont les uns par rapport aux autres influencent largement la qualité de ces interactions. De manière plus large encore, la perception qu'a le public du système pénal influence le degré de confiance dont le second jouit aux yeux du premier. Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble les Actes du colloque 2017 du Groupe suisse de criminologie qui portait sur le thème "Justice pénale – Individus – Opinion publique, Diversité des perceptions".
Sexarbeit als transnationale Zone der Prekarität
Sexarbeit ist ein facettenreiches, vielschichtiges und heterogenes Handlungs- und Wissensfeld, das zugleich von vielfältigen Ambivalenzen und moralischen Imperativen im Alltag und in der Wissenschaft durchzogen ist. Maritza Le Breton rekonstruiert anhand von Gesprächen mit migrierenden Sexarbeiterinnen aus verschiedenen Ländern das Spektrum von Machtkonstellationen und Gewaltverhältnissen, die deren Lebens- und Arbeitssituationen bedingen und zeichnet ihre Handlungsoptionen und -kapazitäten als soziale Akteurinnen im Kontext transnationaler Mobilität nach. Die Autorin stellt die Studie in den allgemeinen Kontext der Ungleichheits- und Mobilitätsforschung und leistet durch die Betrachtung der konkreten Lebenspraxis und Erfahrungszusammenhänge der Subjekte einen Beitrag zur Etablierung einer "Standpunktepistemologie der unterdrückten Wissensarten" in der Sozialen Arbeit.
Le contrôle des jeunes déviants
Les perceptions publiques de la jeunesse semblent se cristalliser autour de deux figures bien distinctes: d’un côté, une jeunesse ordinaire, dont on dit souvent qu’« il faut bien qu’elle se passe ». Elle est certes parfois turbulente, ou même politisée, mais ses désordres semblent transitoires et, du moins aux yeux d’une partie de la société, légitimes. De l’autre côté, une jeunesse menaçante, issue des classes populaires, qui met en échec les instances traditionnelles de socialisation et ne semble répondre qu’aux exigences de la rue, du quartier ou du gang. Si cette seconde figure n’est pas nouvelle, sa perception s’est sensiblement modifiée et le fossé s’...
