Postmodernism and Popular Culture

Autor: Angela Mcrobbie , Angela Mcrobbie

Número de Páginas: 227

Postmodernism and Popular Culture brings together eleven recent essays by Angela McRobbie in a collection which deals with the issues which have dominated cultural studies over the last ten years. A key theme is the notion of postmodernity as a space for social change and political potential. McRobbie explores everyday life as a site of immense social and psychic complexity to which she argues that cultural studies scholars must return through ethnic and empirical work; the sound of living voices and spoken language. She also argues for feminists working in the field to continue to question the place and meaning of feminist theory in a postmodern society. In addition, she examines the new youth cultures as images of social change and signs of profound social transformation. Bringing together complex ideas about cultural studies today in a lively and accessible format, Angela McRobbie's new collection will be of immense value to all teachers and students of the subject.

Drugs and Politics

Autor: Paul Elliott Rock

Número de Páginas: 334

This collection examines the ambiguous relationship be-tween the politically mute, average drug user and the small number, socially distant from the common user, who started the work of undermining official definitions of drug use. The drug users' identification with the issues of power, freedom, oppression, and libertarianism, triggered by the experience of police and penal regulations, is discussed, as is the influence of the growth in the collective competence of users and the changes in the using population on the shifting image of drugs.

Criminología contemporánea

Autor: Gerardo Saúl Palacios Pámanes

Número de Páginas: 433

Uno de los problemas de la Criminología en México consiste en que el análisis de los problemas contemporáneos no siempre está fincado en modelos recientes: se pretende explicar la realidad del siglo XXI con teorías de los siglos XIX y principios del XX. Por esa razón, resulta necesario ampliar nuestro panorama para mejorar los sistemas criminológicos actuales o crear nuevos con los que sea posible aplicar la justicia en el sentido deseado. Criminología contemporánea es una obra cuyo propósito es introducir al lector a las ideas criminológicas e inducirlo a una reflexión sobre los esquemas de impartición de justicia existentes. En esta cuarta edición, el autor agrega dos capítulos en los cuales aborda el estudio criminológico de las grandes ciudades. Para ello, utiliza, el pensamiento de Michel Foucault, por una parte, y, por la otra, el de Robert J. Sampson.

The Politics of Crime Control

Autor: Professor Kevin Martin Stenson , David Cowell

Número de Páginas: 248

What is meant by crime, crime prevention and crime control? Who defines the acts which are deemed as criminal? Who devises the sanctions and who acts as agents of social control? This timely and challenging book brings together a group of leading international criminologists from all sides of the political spectrum. They first examine the formation and implementation of official crime prevention and control policies. In the second part they look at a range of critical perspectives which explore the definition of crime and discuss proposals for its prevention and control.

Feminismos y sistema penal

Autor: Marcela Abadía Cubillos

Número de Páginas: 271

Las aproximaciones feministas al sistema penal se han hecho desde dos visiones opuestas: por un lado, una postura con una arraigada función simbólica que pretende la inclusión en la legislación de nuevos y ampliados tipos penales basados en la persistencia de la opresión sexual y de la organización patriarcal. Por otro lado, la que duda del derecho penal y de su capacidad para modificar la realidad de la violencia sexual, por lo cual se ha concentrado en criticarlo, se aparta de su uso y no busca salidas que se originen en pautas de interpretación no discriminatorias que atenúan los sesgos en el proceso penal, evidentes en la manera como algunos jueces interpretan las normas, valoran las pruebas o simplemente les niegan a las mujeres el acceso real a la justicia. [...] El objetivo central de [este libro] es presentar una reflexión en torno a esas preguntas que la teoría feminista no ha abordado en sus acercamientos al derecho penal. Hoy sigue siendo un reto la pregunta sobre la legitimidad de los daños diferenciales que se causan a las mujeres en determinadas conductas delictivas o a la pregunta sobre el carácter diferencial de la lesividad del bien jurídico protegido ...

Tomar partido

Autor: Matías Bailone

Número de Páginas: 146

"Los orígenes de la criminología crítica ciento cincuenta años antes que Beccaria, la relectura en clave prepositivista de «Dei Delitti e delle pene «así como el homenaje a los grandes penalistas republicanos del exilio español, son la ocasión para tratar los temas más actuales y más complejos del debate penal y criminológico. «Tomar partido» es un conjunto de ensayos críticos que pretende emular la dicotomía que Gabriel Celaya pensara para la poesía, y que también sirve para maldecir toda doctrina justificacionista del poder punitivo. Bailone analiza en la introducción las diversas posibilidades que tiene una mente crítica del dolor penal, siguiendo al «célebre texto declamativo del sociólogo Howard Becker, cuando pregunta a los investigadores de la cuestión penal de qué lado están de la brecha o de la grieta. Tomar partido significa definir y explicitar qué tipo de personas somos, qué lado tomamos cuando arrecia el dolor causado artificialmente por el hombre.» Como en la imagen de cubierta del presente libro, en donde el Quijote toma partido a favor de los galeotes.

Hacked

Autor: Kevin F. Steinmetz

Número de Páginas: 301

Inside the life of a hacker and cybercrime culture. Public discourse, from pop culture to political rhetoric, portrays hackers as deceptive, digital villains. But what do we actually know about them? In Hacked, Kevin F. Steinmetz explores what it means to be a hacker and the nuances of hacker culture. Through extensive interviews with hackers, observations of hacker communities, and analyses of hacker cultural products, Steinmetz demystifies the figure of the hacker and situates the practice of hacking within the larger political and economic structures of capitalism, crime, and control.This captivating book challenges many of the common narratives of hackers, suggesting that not all forms of hacking are criminal and, contrary to popular opinion, the broader hacker community actually plays a vital role in our information economy. Hacked thus explores how governments, corporations, and other institutions attempt to manage hacker culture through the creation of ideologies and laws that protect powerful economic interests. Not content to simply critique the situation, Steinmetz ends his work by providing actionable policy recommendations that aim to redirect the focus from the...

The Prison and the Factory (40th Anniversary Edition)

Autor: Dario Melossi , Massimo Pavarini

Número de Páginas: 306

This new edition of The Prison and the Factory, a classic work on radical criminology, includes two new, long essays from the authors and a foreword from Professor Jonathan Simon (UC Berkeley). In the two essays, Melossi and Pavarini reflect on the origins, development and fortune of The Prison and the Factory in relation to the debates surrounding mass incarceration that have taken place since this book was first published 40 years ago. The reputation of the original work has long been established worldwide, and this updated version will be of very special interest to scholars of the criminal justice system, penology, and Marxist theory. This seminal book examines the links between the development of capitalist political economy and changing forms of social control. Melossi and Pavarini analyse the connection between the creation of penal institutions and regimes in Europe and the USA, and the problems generated by the emergence of capitalist social relations. They provide a thorough neo-Marxist view of emergent capitalism and the penal mechanisms which are constructed to deal with the problem of labour. Contemporary to but independent from the work of Michel Foucault, Melossi...

Crime and Modernity

Autor: John Lea

Número de Páginas: 228

′Lea has produced a serious and scholarly contribution of great interest to criminologists (whether "critical "or not), to post graduates, as well as the more advanced undergraduate. This is a book that is well written, absorbing, thoughtful and thought provoking′ - The British Journal of Criminology Crime control is in crisis. Not only have levels of crime risen but, more important, crime is increasingly regarded as a normal aspect of the social and economic system rather than disruption or deviance. The blurring boundaries between the criminal and the normal are evident in a number of areas from the activities of multinational corporations to the life of the inner city. In this book, John Lea develops a broad historical and sociological overview relating the rise and fall of effective crime control to different types of social structures. It traces the process of modernisation and industrialisation from the eighteenth to the mid twentieth centuries which established the social preconditions for effective control and management of criminality. In the early years of the present century it is clear that these preconditions are now being progressively undermined as industrial...

Controlling Crime, Controlling Society

Autor: Dario Melossi

Número de Páginas: 317

How did anxieties about crime and deviance emerge in the modern world, first in Europe and then in America? How did they come to occupy centre-stage in the ongoing drama played out in public discourse? And how have theories of crime and deviance related to the actual practices of social control and punishment, and to the main currents of social conflict? In this illuminating new book, Dario Melossi addresses these crucial questions, and at the same time offers an engaging survey of the theories of social control, crime and deviance. From the early work of Beccaria and Lombroso, via the pioneering sociology of 1920s Chicago, to 60s radicalism and the subsequent emergence of a “culture of fear”, the book covers the full range of theoretical thinking in this area, including more recent assessments of mass imprisonment in post-9/11 America. In a sharp and lucid style, Melossi argues that two orientations have always been battling each other in society, one in which the control of crime is paramount, and the other in which controlling crime becomes secondary to the exercise of wider social control. Conceived and written by a scholar who has been active for many years both in Europe ...

Liberalism and Crime

Autor: Robert R. Sullivan

Número de Páginas: 246

In Liberalism and Crime, Robert Sullivan offers an alternate way of looking at liberalism, using the usurpation of the welfare state in Britain by a free market-oriented economy as his crucible. Not content with the academic interpretation of liberalism as an offshoot of analytic philosophy, Sullivan has woven together a convincing demonstration that liberalism is born out of an alternative approach--one based in active thought and reasonable argument. The tapestry of this study touches on the breakup of British Marxism, the influence of crime on British polity, and the arguments of Ronald Clarke against "medical criminology." Shifting societal responsibility onto the individual citizen, this new, alternative, model of liberalism was fully ushered in by the rise of Margaret Thatcher and continued with Tony Blair and the New Labour movement in the 1990s. Because similar shifts occurred in the United States simultaneously, this argument should be of interest to both general American and British readers, as well as academics in political theory, cultural studies, criminology, and British studies.

Crimes et châtiments dans l'Etat de sécurité

Autor: Pierre Berthelet

Número de Páginas: 906

Il était une fois un État de sécurité. Cet État imaginaire rappelle quelque peu notre univers enfantin. Loin des clichés d'enfants innocents jouant sagement entre eux, riant joyeusement et s'amusant dans la bonne humeur, il s'agit d'un monde dur et cruel pour les plus faibles. C'est un univers impitoyable où ceux qui sont différents sont mis à part. L'État de sécurité se veut démocratique et respectueux des droits de l'homme. Pourtant, il se montre intransigeant en prenant des mesures toujours plus sévères afin de satisfaire une population inquiète qui réclame davantage de sécurité. Subissant quotidiennement les incivilités et harcelée sans répit par la criminalité, elle aspire à retrouver un monde pacifié et apaisé, débarrassé des assistés et des profiteurs du système, des délinquants multirécidivistes, des fous dangereux ou encore des pervers sexuels. Bref, tous ceux qui menacent la société des "bons citoyens" et des "honnêtes gens". Bien entendu, selon la formule consacrée, toute ressemblance avec des faits récents dans un État qui nous serait familier serait purement fortuite et involontaire.

Número de Páginas: 361

Routledge Handbook of Critical Criminology

Autor: Walter S. Dekeseredy , Molly Dragiewicz

Número de Páginas: 676

The main objective of the second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Critical Criminology is twofold: (1) to provide original chapters that cover contemporary critical criminological theoretical offerings generated over the past five years and (2) to provide chapters on important new substantive topics that are currently being studied and theorized by progressive criminologists. Special attention is devoted to new theoretical directions in the field, such as southern criminology, queer criminology, and green criminology. The diverse chapters cover not only cutting-edge theories, but also the variety of research methods used by leading scholars in the field and the rich data generated by their rigorous empirical work. In addition, some of the chapters suggest innovative and realistic short- and long-term policy proposals that are typically ignored by mainstream criminology. These progressive strategies address some of the most pressing social problems facing contemporary society today, which generate much pain and suffering for socially and economically disenfranchised people. The new edition of the Handbook is a major work in redefining areas within the context of international...

Crime In Context

Autor: Ian Taylor

Número de Páginas: 294

At the end of the twentieth century, the bookstores are full of books on crime, though this title will certainly not find a place on the same shelves. In the massive Waterstones bookstore in the city of Manchester, England, where I lived through most of the 1990s, the ground floor display area was rearranged in 1995 so as to accommodate, right at the front of the store, several hundred new titles, on topics like Serial Murderers and Sexual Crimes of the Twentieth Century.l Several of these new books are companion volumes to movies on release in the city's cinemas or, in some instances, are simply the original text on which the movies are based. The movies in question - Shallow Grave, Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers and others - focus heavily on interpersonal violence and murder and also place great emphasis in the manner of many earlier cinematic genres - on the idea of the 'criminal mind' (not least, as a way of dramatizing the detection of the originating criminal act) but also - to a significant extent, these are movies which emphasize the idea and contemporary social presence of evil. Similar moral and psychologistic preoccupations are now also...

The Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Criminology

Autor: Ruth Ann Triplett

Número de Páginas: 488

Featuring contributions by distinguished scholars from ten countries, The Wiley Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Criminology provides students, scholars, and criminologists with a truly a global perspective on the theory and practice of criminology throughout the centuries and around the world. In addition to chapters devoted to the key ideas, thinkers, and moments in the intellectual and philosophical history of criminology, it features in-depth coverage of the organizational structure of criminology as an academic discipline world-wide. The first section focuses on key ideas that have shaped the field in the past, are shaping it in the present, and are likely to influence its evolution in the foreseeable future. Beginning with early precursors to criminology’s emergence as a unique discipline, the authors trace the evolution of the field, from the pioneering work of 17th century Italian jurist/philosopher, Cesare Beccaria, up through the latest sociological and biosocial trends. In the second section authors address the structure of criminology as an academic discipline in countries around the globe, including in North America, South America, Europe, East Asia, and...

Cosmologías violentas

Autor: Natali, Lorenzo , Ceretti, Adolfo

Número de Páginas: 350

¿Dónde tiene su origen el actuar violento? ¿Con qué palabras se cuenta a sí mismo, el autor, su propio acto despiadado? Ni siquiera las teorías más elaboradas consiguen siempre explicar la comisión de estas acciones crueles desde el punto de vista de sus autores, ni tampoco las crudas palabras con las que ellos las describen. Partiendo de ello, el reto de Ceretti y Natali será el de construir unas «lentes» nuevas con las que observar y comprender el proceso de desarrollo de estas vidas criminales; para ello se valdrán del material proporcionado por las novedosas intuiciones del criminólogo estadounidense Lonnie Athens, importante exponente del interaccionismo simbólico. Con esa dirección, el itinerario emprendido por los autores a partir de las entrevistas realizadas en la cárcel y de algunos diálogos extraídos de guiones cinematográficos, aporta al concepto teórico de «cosmologías violentas» las esferas simbólicas construidas por los «actores violentos» durante sus interacciones y sus experiencias en el mundo en el que viven.

The Routledge International Handbook on Fear of Crime

Autor: Murray Lee , Gabe Mythen

Número de Páginas: 879

The Routledge International Handbook on Fear of Crime brings together original and international state of the art contributions of theoretical, empirical, policy-related scholarship on the intersection of perceptions of crime, victimisation, vulnerability and risk. This is timely as fear of crime has now been a focus of scholarly and policy interest for some fifty years and shows little sign of abating. Research on fear of crime is demonstrative of the inter-disciplinarity of criminology, drawing in the disciplines of sociology, psychology, political science, history, cultural studies, gender studies, planning and architecture, philosophy and human geography. This collection draws in many of these interdisciplinary themes. This collections also extends the boundaries of fear of crime research. It does this both methodologically and conceptually, but perhaps more importantly it moves us beyond some of the often repeated debates in this field to focus on novel topics from unique perspectives. The book begins by plotting the history of fear of crime’s development, then moves on to investigate the methodological and theoretical debates that have ensued and the policy transfer that...

Al término de la Guerra, Louk Hulsman emprendió sus estudios de derecho, pero lo cierto es que en pocos años se graduó y pasó a prestar servicios en el Ministerio de Guerra y luego en el de Justicia. Entre 1963 y 1986 fue catedrático de derecho penal y criminología en la Universidad de Róterdam. Diseñó la política de drogas holandesa y fue el impulsor del famoso Report on Decriminalization del Consejo de la Unión Europea (Estrasburgo, 1980). Desempeñó diferentes cargos en las directivas de la Asociación Internacional de Derecho Penal, en la de Defensa Social y en la de Criminología, fundando además ICOPA (International Conference on Penal Abolition). Su actividad internacional, la constante participación en congresos, jornadas, seminarios y otros eventos académicos, era una muestra de su enorme capacidad de diálogo. Su vida se apagó súbitamente, en su apacible y alucinante casa de Dordrecht, el 28 de enero de 2009. Veinte días antes Hulsman había sido nominado para el Premio Nobel de la Paz, en razón de su condición de padre de la política holandesa de tolerancia en materia de drogas.

La investigación científica del INACIPE

Autor: Eliseo Lázaro Ruiz

Número de Páginas: 189

A lo largo de la historia, los productos de científicos han impulsado la calidad de vida de los individuos y han modificado las dinámicas sociales gracias al desarrollo de la investigación en todas las ramas del conocimiento. El derecho, en general, y las ciencias penales, en particular, no son la excepción. La generación de ciencia para su aplicación en la procuración de justicia es uno de los cimientos del sistema de justicia penal, pues estos conocimientos fundamentan metodologías y prácticas específicas que algunos operadores del sistema aplican en el ámbito de su competencia. Además, algunas de las funciones de las personas investigadoras es analizar las políticas públicas en materia de prevención e investigación del delito, el análisis de las violencias y de las nuevas formas de criminalidad y la difusión y el examen de las ciencias penales. span En este contexto, estas temáticas son abordadas desde las plumas que integran el claustro de investigación del INACIPE, quienes a través de la explicación de la línea de investigación a la que se han abocado o por medio de una metodología jurídico-penal analizan los problemas actuales en ciencias penales,...
