This book offers a new vision on urban gun violence that focuses on public space-centered concepts, events, and research. It builds on our existing knowledge base by viewing a "slice" of this problem through celebratory and solemn occasions and how violence at these events and spaces reflects on the state of urban gun violence. Understanding this context serves to inform us on how best to address this social phenomenon. Gun violence in the United States is a salient national problem with virtually no day that goes by without it occurring, particularly in urban public spaces, making it a significant social event. This book uniquely presents an urban- and event-focused context for gun violence. It also draws attention to marginalized urban communities, merging urban public spaces, events, intersectionality, social justice, and gun violence, introducing a unique window to better comprehend this violence as a national issue and bringing profound consequences when it transpires in a public event.To examine the context of public spaces and events in gun violence, the author organized the book's ten chapters in three sections: Part I: Conceptual Foundation sets the foundation for a multifaceted perspective. Part II: Celebratory and Solemn Events expands the gun violence arena. Part III: Implications for Research, Education, and Practice.Urban Public Spaces, Events, and Gun Violence: Block Parties, Funerals, Mother's Day, and Other Community Events expands the context of gun violence beyond the street scene to include public settings and events, and helps in achieving a comprehensive understanding of this public health problem and how best to solve it. The book is essential reading for practitioners, academics, and researchers in public health, social work, criminal justice, and community practice.

This book explores youth involvement in public safety, measuring the success of historic programs in school districts, fire departments, and police departments, and evaluating their potential to mitigate youth violence in the U.S. In its examination of structured community youth programs, such as the Police Athletic League and EMS Exploring, this volume examines the pros and cons of harm reduction and public safety activities through community empowerment of juveniles.The chapters that follow explore the origins of youth-involved public safety programs, recommending that these initiatives may be a solution to improving health, education, and social outcomes. It is ideal for professionals working with juvenile programming and local policymakers.

This book takes an organizational sociological perspective on the systematically carried out mass murders in the context of Nazi euthanasia in Hadamar. On the basis of numerous theoretically elaborated as well as empirically proven organizational mechanisms, it is shown how these illegal practices were "normalized" in an extraordinary way by and for the personnel, who were not trained or otherwise predisposed to murder. The acts thus became a legitimate expectation of action, while at the same time the organizational integration had a desolidarizing, demoralizing, and responsibility-relieving effect.This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

This book develops an evolutionary theory of crime. Both evolutionary theory and neurocriminology are growing fields that are attracting more and more interest for criminologists and wider fields alike. This book summarises important readings that relate to retribution and punishment and presents some neurocriminological findings. In addition, the book introduces a new methodology for the study of crime: a game theory experiment adapted from the field of behavioural economics. Overall, the book synthesises the key crime literature, presents a new theory of crime in a new field of evolutionary criminology and the methodology to study it, and provides empirical results in support of the theory. For any evolutionary and neuroscientist interested in deviance, this book offers a new model which is testable using more complex methods such as MRI scanners and survival simulations.

Ergreifend und ungeschönt erzählt Elliot Page von seinem langen Weg zu sich selbst. Mit seiner Hauptrolle in »Juno« hat Elliot Page die Welt in seinen Bann gezogen. In seinem ersten Buch erzählt er endlich seine Wahrheit: vom Aufwachsen in der kanadischen Hafenstadt Halifax, vom Erwachsenwerden im von traditionellen Geschlechterrollen besessenen Hollywood. Von Sex, Liebe, Trauma und phantastisch anmutenden Erfolgen. »Pageboy« ist die Geschichte eines Lebens, das an den Rand des Abgrunds gedrängt wurde - und eine Feier des Moments, in dem wir, frei von den Erwartungen anderer, mit Trotz, Mut und Freude uns selbst entgegentreten. Ein Buch von aufwühlender Schönheit und politischer Schlagkraft. »Dies ist die Geschichte von jemandem, der sich selbst findet - inmitten von Hindernissen, Scham, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Schmerz. Der daraus auftaucht und auf eine Weise erblüht, die er nie für möglich gehalten hätte.« Elliot Page

Der russische Staatspräsident Putin und die Handlanger seines verbrecherischen Krieges in der Ukraine sollen strafrechtlich zur Verantwortung gezogen werden. So klar die Forderung ist, so unklar erscheint, wie sie eingelöst werden soll. Vor welchem Gericht sollen sich die mutmaßlichen Täter verantworten? Für welche Verbrechen? Und wann und in welchem Kontext überhaupt? Viele Fragen, die eines gemeinsam haben: Die Herausforderung ist groß und der Ausgang einer solchen strafrechtlichen Verfolgung ungewiss. Denn sie stößt auf eine internationale Strafjustiz, die sich heftiger Kritik an ihrer Legitimation ausgesetzt sieht: Mächtige Staaten und deren Freunde hätten nichts zu befürchten, unparteiisch sei sie auch nicht, Opfer würden vernachlässigt, lauten einige der Vorwürfe. Was wäre von Strafverfahren gegen Putin und Co. tatsächlich zu erwarten? Mit welcher Botschaft an andere - vielleicht auch westliche - Völkerrechtsverbrecher?

This book expands the field of prison research by drawing on six months of unique, ethnographic research in Santa Monica prison, the largest women's prison in Lima, Peru. Using feminist and decolonial perspectives, it explores power and the governance system and its implications on how the prison operates and the lived experiences of women prisoners and their interpersonal relationships. It reflects on the intersection of prison, imprisonment and gender from a Global South perspective and includes methodological reflections on how to research prisons in the Global South holistically. It fills a gap and engages with debates on governmentality and women's agency within the penal context.
