ISBN: 9780230573314 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What should be done about trafficking in women? This book argues that the question to be asked is, 'What cannot be done about trafficking in women?'

Politics out of security, on the contrary, is formulated around universality, equality and freedom. In the situation of trafficking, the equality and universality of work disrupt the specification of difference and of particularized subjectivity upon which security practices rely....

Criminal Artefacts: Governing Drugs and Users
ISBN: 9780774813877 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Attitudes toward crime, criminals, and rehabilitation have shifted considerably, yet the idea that there is a causal link between drug addiction and crime prevails. As law reformers call for addiction treatment as a remedy to the failing war on drugs, it is also time to consider the serious implications of joining legal and therapeutic practices in an assumedly benevolent bid to cure the offender. Inspired by the works of Foucault, Latour, and Goffman, Criminal Artefacts casts doubt on the assumption that drugs lie at the heart of crime. Case studies from drug treatment courts...
