  • Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists
    Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists Thomas D. Stucky Abstract As a sociologist studying the intersection of crime, punishment and politics, it is often surprising to me how many aspects of political sociology and the study of crime and punishment overlap, and yet, there is often limited cross-fertilization of the two fields. For the sake of brevity in this discussion, I refer to those who study crime, deviance, law, criminal justice, and punishment as criminologists. My goal is to provide an extremely brief “primer” on criminology for political sociologists, in the hopes that a short reading of some issues and research in criminology may stimulate additional theorizing and research, as has so often happened when I have read political sociological work. To do this, I begin with a brief discussion of overlaps in political sociological and criminological perspectives. Following this, I highlight some examples of criminological research which incorporates politics, and would likely interest political sociologists, Then, I highlight a hot button issue in criminology—sex offenses—and suggest some ways that political sociologists could examine recent legislation on sex offenders, and conclude with brief discussions of a few additional areas of overlap for the two disciplines. This is the author's manuscript of the article published in final edited form as: Stucky, T. D. (2013). Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists. Sociology Compass, 7(7), 561-572. http:/dx.doi.org/10.1111/soc4.12048 1 Introduction As a sociologist studying the intersection of crime, punishment and politics, it sometimes strikes me as odd how infrequently various disciplines (or even sub-disciplines within a field) seem to be able to capitalize on the insights of others, even when the topics they study overlap tremendously.

It is concluded that the positivism of North American sociology of literature ignores the historical specificity of contemporary literary forms. Part of the explanation for the perspective of Kenneth Burke and Hugh Duncan is shown to derive from partial elements of the epistemology of the Classical Greeks and Hegelianism. Similarly Luk;csr philosophy of literary criticism are shown to be modifications on a rigidly Marxist econoniic determinism as well as Hegelian idealism. ~ukgcs'concept of literary realism -- in contemporary society as those forms of the novel which portray the specific problems of individuals and classes and the resolution of social contradictions within the "totality of the movement of historyn-- is examined in relation to the pracesses of capitalist development in Europe.

DOI: <https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/ analisi.3424> Abstract Yes, Minister is a series that has been part of the collective imagination of citizens in many English-speaking countries since the 1980s, in which disinformation is frequently used or mentioned by its main characters. Its enormous impact has been long-lasting, and in recent years it has gained special prominence on YouTube. The objectives of this paper are the following: a) to quantify the presence of fragments of the series Yes, Minister on YouTube, including their titles, the episodes to which they belong, their duration and the number of views and comments; and b) to analyse the processes, strategies and mechanisms of disinfor- mation in these fragments. To this end, we first described the fragments with more than 200,000 views, of which there were forty. After this analysis, we chose the videos with more than 400,000 views and, in those, analysed the processes, strategies and mechanisms of dis- information. There were twenty-two such documents and they contained as many as 125 samples of disinformation: mostly associated with the process of concealment, followed by blurring and, thirdly, invention.

Acknowledgments I would like to extend special thanks to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Tamari Kitossa, who provided me his unwavering support and wisdom throughout the entirety of this project. Dr. Ki- tossa believed in my success and in the success of this project long before I did, and for that I will forever be grateful. My experience at Brock University would not have been the same with- out him. I am also grateful for the assistance of my committee, Dr. Kate Bezanson and Dr. Margot Francis, for their inspiration, guidance and thoughtful insights. This project would not have been possible without the support of these knowledgeable and formidable academics. Additionally, I thank my parents, Kim and Stuart, who are always quick to offer me reas- surance when I am struggling. Lastly, I would like to thank my dog, Daisy, who never once com- plained despite being the sole audience member of my multiple draft readings. Abstract This study examines Canada’s history of anti-sex legislation from 1865 to 2016 and demonstrates that these laws exist primarily to maintain the ideological boundaries between whiteness and indigeneity.

  • 'Striking Back'
    ‘Striking Back’ and ‘Clamping Down’. An Alternative Perspective on Judicial Review Carol Harlow* and Richard Rawlings** A judge? You don't want to make a judge a doctor of laws! Politicians are the ones who make the laws, and pass the laws! Jim Hacker MP in ‘Yes Minister’ (1981) Introduction This paper deals with a practice that we have called ‘striking back’, a phenomenon all too often glossed over in the literature of judicial review. By ‘striking back’ we mean official responses to court rulings that are deliberately negative in the sense that government or administration sets out to rid itself of a judicial decision that it finds inconvenient or otherwise dislikes. Striking back is essentially a backward-looking or ‘fire-fighting’ activity designed to remove or minimise the effects of a specific decision. In its impact it may nonetheless be purely forward-looking, eg, regulations may be redrafted or a new statutory definition substituted with prospective effect. Occasionally, however, the action taken is retrospective - a dubious practice that we shall nonetheless encounter on several occasions in this paper. Also, government may adopt a ‘fire-watching’ stance, taking steps to protect itself against the threat of future judicial ‘interference’ by changing the rules of the game in restrictive fashion, a variant on striking back that we call ‘clamping down’. There are many forms of pre-emptive action, ranging from structural or procedural changes to the judicial review process with a view to blunting substantive legal action, to changes made to the general funding regime with a view to inhibiting it.

Gordon* Critical legal writers pay a lot of attention to history. In fact, they have probably devoted more pages to historical description- particularly the intellectual history of legal doctrine-than to any- thing else, even law and economics. Such a preoccupation within a radical movement is at first glance surprising. After all, lawyers have, by notorious custom, used history conservatively, appealing to continuity and tradition.1 And in the less common situations in which lawyers have used history to criticize the status quo, they have usually resorted to social and economic history, to show that the orig- inal social context of a legal rule reveals it was adopted for wicked or obsolete reasons, rather than to the history of legal doctrine.2 What could conceivably be radical-or, as some unkindly ask, even inter- esting-about rewriting the history of doctrine? I will attempt, in this article, to give a brief account of the im- pulses that have prompted the Critical scholars to their chosen ways of writing history (or rather histories, since the movement has actu- ally spawned several different historiographical practices).

  • The Many Faces of the University
    The many faces of the university Wonkhe and Shakespeare Martineau The many faces of the university 1 Over the last year, Shakespeare Martineau and Wonkhe have held discussions about the changing roles universities play in relation to their students, from educator to employment consultant, policeman to parent. We decided this was something worth reflecting on further and the result is this collection of essays, produced by authors from across the higher education sector. The collection explores the forces within and around universities that necessitate change, and, importantly, how the sector should respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by them. 2 The many faces of the university WONKHE and Shakespeare Martineau Foreword Universities have many roles, and they play them simultaneously in a complex and interwoven existence with students, academics, communities and each other. This essay collection, produced by Wonkhe and Shakespeare Martineau, untangles strands from this web of connections to help understand better how these roles manifest. This has been an enjoyable project, and one which has challenged our authors – all Contents from the world of UK higher education - to think in different ways about the changing roles that universities play today. The results are impressive, showing both breadth and The University as a Teacher .................4 depth in expertise as well as insight into the questions at hand.
