In the field of criminal justice, public policy is designed to address the problems brought on by criminal behavior and the response to that behavior. However, too often, the theories carefully developed in the academy fail to make their way into programs and policy. The editors and contributors to this second edition of Criminology and Public Policy highlight the recent development of "translational criminology" to address the growing movement in criminology to use the results of criminological research and theory to better inform policy and practice. The essays in Criminology and Public Policy propose an in-depth look at both theory and practice and how they are integrated across a number of key criminal justice problems-from racial and environmental concerns to gun control and recidivism rates as well as police use of force and mass incarceration. The end result is an essential volume that blends both theory and practice in an effort to address the critical problems in exp...

The Middle Ages marked a time when religion and superstition dominated all thinking and stalled the pursuit of new ideas. The questioning of everything from religious doctrines to styles of government to the understanding of the way the world works led to many significant developments, most notably the scientific method. This method was a process for experimentation that was used to explore observations and answer questions. This new methodology led to great developments in the fields of astronomy, physics, biology, and anatomy. ""The Scientific Revolution and Medicine"" examines the scientific revolution and how it has affected future developments in medicine. This book is a vital addition to literature on the Scientific Revolution because it puts the medical discoveries of the period into perspective, providing readers with a better understanding of the accomplishments of the time. While physicians of this era did not yet know the cause of disease, they began to m...

Von der Küste bis ins Binnenland reicht Deutschlands längster Ostseefjord, die Schlei. Sie ist 42 Kilometer lang und während einer Eiszeit vor 120.000 bis 10.000 Jahren entstanden. Als Handelsweg im Ostseeraum hatte die Schlei auch für die Wikinger eine große Bedeutung. Damals ließen sie sich in der Siedlung Haithabu nieder. Heute zählt der Meeresarm mit zu den schönsten Paddel- und Segelrevieren in Schleswig-Holstein. Aber auch vom Land aus lässt sich die Schlei prima zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad erkunden.  Zu entdecken gibt es malerische kleine Dörfer mit ursprünglichen Reetdachhäusern und prächtige Gutshöfe, hügelige Landschaften, schnuckelige Hafenstädte, verträumte und fast unscheinbare Badestellen an Schlei und Ostsee, sowie jede Menge Natur und lauter spannende Geschichten. Die Schleiregion ist verträumt und nicht selten hat man das Gefühl, dass die Zeit stehengeblieben ist. Ein Stück weit stimmt das wohl auch, aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. In diesem Buch entführen die Autor...

This book examines the exercise of power in the Stalinist music world as well as the ways in which composers and ordinary people responded to it. It presents a comparative inquiry into the relationship between music and politics in the German Democratic Republic and Poland from the aftermath of World War II through Stalin's death in 1953, concluding with the slow process of de-Stalinisation in the mid- to late-1950s. The author explores how the Communist parties in both countries expressed their attitudes to music of all kinds, and how composers, performers, and audiences cooperated with, resisted, and negotiated these suggestions and demands. Based on a deep analysis of the archival and contemporary published sources on state, party, and professional organisations concerned with musical life, Tompkins argues that music, as a significant part of cultural production in these countries, played a key role in instituting and maintaining the regimes of East Central Europe. As part of th...

No judgement of taste is innocent - we are all snobs. Pierre Bourdieu's Distinction brilliantly illuminates the social pretentions of the middle classes in the modern world, focusing on the tastes and preferences of the French bourgeoisie. First published in 1979, the book is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind. In the course of everyday life we constantly choose between what we find aesthetically pleasing, and what we consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu demonstrates that our different aesthetic choices are all distinctions - that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. This fascinating work argues that the social world functions simultaneously as a system of power relations and as a symbolic system in which minute distinctions of taste become the basis for social judgement.
