Asbo Nation: The Criminalisation of Nuisance
ISBN: 9781847420282 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been a major preoccupation of New Labour's project of social and political renewal, with ASBOs a controversial addition to crime and disorder management powers. Thought by some to be a dangerous extension of the power to criminalise, by others as a vital dimension of local governance, there remains a concerning lack of evidence as to whether or not they compound social exclusion. This collection, from an impressive panel of contributors, brings together opinion, commentary, research evidence, professional guidance, debate and critique in order to understand the...

Rougher Justice
ISBN: 9781138176409 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Anti-social behaviour has become a major political preoccupation of government and combating it is now a major plank of criminal justice policy. Yet anti-social behaviour as a concept has been little studied, and the notion has often been accepted uncritically. This book aims to meet this need, providing a critique of the government's use of the concept of anti-social behaviour and of youth justice strategy more generally. Rougher Justice foregrounds the perspectives and experiences of young people themselves. It draws upon recent developments within the field of cultural criminology to...

ISBN: 9781138814462 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What ideas do children hold about the natural world? How do these ideas affect their learning of science? Young learners bring to the classroom knowledge and ideas about many aspects of the natural world constructed from their experiences of education and from outside school. These ideas contribute to subsequent learning, and research has shown that teaching of science is unlikely to be effective unless it takes learners' perspectives into account.

Private gun ownership for self-defence remains a major personal and public issue in the US, driven by concerns about crime, vulnerability and a range of 'ideological' factors. As media attention centres upon the extent to which women are taking up firearms, with the gun lobby and firearms manufacturers celebrating the 'new armed woman', and guns being promoted as 'Rape Prevention Kits', this book explores the changing gendered aspects of gun ownership. Can ownership of firearms by women be considered, as some have claimed, the embodiment of what might be termed 'pioneer feminism', as women...
