Abstract

"This collection focuses attention on an important but academically neglected area of contemporary operational policing: the regulation of consensual sexual practices. Despite the high-level public visibility of, and debate about, policing in relation to violent and abusive sexual crimes (from child sexual abuse to adult rape) very little public or scholarly attention is paid to the policing of consensual sexual practices in contemporary societies. In the context of social and cultural change 'sexual life' is largely understood as a matter of 'private life', policing plays an active part in regulating consensual sexual practices across a number of areas. This book brings together a well known and respected group of academics to explore the role of the police in shaping the boundaries of that aspect of contemporary life that we imagine to be most private and most our own, uniting scholars from a range of disciplines. It is essential supplementary readings for courses in criminology, law, policing, sociology of deviance, gender and sexuality, and cultural studies"-- "This collection focuses attention on an important but academically neglected area of contemporary operational policing: the regulation of consensual sexual practices.

Abstract

To invest in vice can be a sound financial decision, but despite the lure of healthy profits, individuals and mutual funds have been reluctant to invest in this type of stock. After all, who would take pride in supporting the tobacco industry, knowing it sells a deadly product? And what social responsibilities do investors bear with respect to compulsive gamblers who have lost so much money that suicide becomes an attractive option?Canada the Good considers more than five hundred years of debates and regulation that have conditioned Canadians’ attitudes towards certain vices. Early European settlers implemented a Christian moral order that regulated sexual behaviour, gambling, and drinking. Later, some transgressions were diagnosed as health issues that required treatment. Those who refused the label of illness argued that behaviours formerly deemed as vices were within the range of normal human behaviour. This historical synthesis demonstrates how moral regulation has changed over time, how it has shaped Canadians’ lives, why some debates have almost disappeared and others persist, and why some individuals and groups have felt empowered to tackle collective social issues. Against the background of the evolution of the state, the enlargement of the body politic, and mounting forays into court activism, the author illustrates the complexity over time of various forms of social regulation and the control of vice.

Abstract

"Vice and the Victorians explores the ways the Victorian world gave meanings to the word 'vice', and the role this complex notion played in shaping society. Mike Huggins provides a richer and more nuanced understanding of a term that, despite its vital importance to the Victorians, has thus far lacked a clear definition. Each chapter explores a different facet of vice. Firstly, the book seeks to define exactly what vice meant to the Victorians, exploring how the language of vice was used as a tool to beat down opposition and dissent. It considers the cultural geography and spatial dimensions of vice in the public and private spheres, before moving on to look at specific vices: the unholy trinity of drink, sex and gambling. Finally, it shifts from vice to virtue and the efforts of moral reformers, and reassesses the relationship between vice and respectability in Victorian life. In his lively and engaging discussion, Mike Huggins draws on a range of theory and exploits a wide variety of texts and representations from the periodical press, parliamentary reports and Acts, novels, obscene publications, paintings and posters, newspapers, sermons, pamphlets and investigative works. This will be an illuminating text for undergraduates studying Victorian Britain as well as anyone wishing to gain a more nuanced understanding of Victorian society."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Diefstal in een woning is een vaak voorkomend criminaliteitsfenomeen dat een grote impact heeft op de slachtoffers. Woninginbraak - het meest voor de hand liggende voorbeeld van een diefstal in een woning - wordt door burgers dan ook als belangrijk probleem ervaren, aldus de Veiligheidsmonitor. De impact van en de bezorgdheid over dit fenomeen gaat samen met een groot - en opnieuw stijgend - aantal feiten. Omdat het een hardnekkig en veelzijdig maatschappelijk probleem is, dringt een globaal beeld van diefstal in woningen zich op. In dit cahier komen verschillende invalshoeken van diefstal in woningen aan bod, al dan niet gekoppeld aan het specifieke Belgische, regionale of lokale beleidskader. De lezer van dit 'Cahier Integrale Veiligheid' vindt er onder meer bijdragen terug die ingaan op de kenmerken die een woning kwetsbaar maken, hoe deze door inbrekers worden benut en hoe men zich hiertegen kan wapenen, hetzij als individu, hetzij als gemeenschap. Daarnaast wordt aandacht besteed aan de concentraties van inbraken in tijd en ruimte en de gevolgen hiervan voor patronen in dadergedrag. Naast de daderkant komt het perspectief van het slachtoffer aan bod. Zo wordt gekeken naar de impact van voor de slachtoffers een diefstal in de woning en welke maatregelen men kan nemen om de negatieve gevolgen van slachtofferschap zoveel mogelijk te beperken. Tot slot komt ook de gerechtelijke keten aan bod, waarbij wordt stilgestaan bij enkele drempels en opportuniteiten voor een coherente strijd tegen dit criminele fenomeen.

Abstract

Harm reduction of schadebeperking is een pragmatische benadering gericht op het reduceren van de schadelijke gevolgen van problematisch druggebruik. Harm reduction-strategieën zoals spuitenruil, substitutiebehandeling, gebruiksruimtes en medisch gecontroleerde heroïneverstrekking vormen een belangrijke pijler binnen een geïntegreerd (lokaal) drugsbeleid. Het is van groot belang dat deze harm reduction-strategieën zijn toegesneden op de specifieke lokale noden. 0Op vraag van de Stad Gent voerden IRCP en ISD een empirisch onderzoek naar de lokale noden en prioriteiten op het vlak van harm reduction in de stad Gent. Dit onderzoek bestond uit twee opeenvolgende luiken, kwalitatief en kwantitatief van aard. De inbreng van professionelen en (ex-)druggebruikers stond hierbij centraal. 0De resultaten tonen dat het bestaande aanbod in Gent tegemoet komt aan de lokale noden, al is hier duidelijk nog ruimte voor de optimalisatie van bestaande en de implementatie van nieuwe initiatieven. Vijf prioriteiten staan hierbij centraal: het optimaliseren van harm reduction-initiatieven voor de gevangenis, meer mogelijkheden voor zinvolle daginvulling, meer betaalbare huisvesting voor problematische druggebruikers, de implementatie van een laagdrempelig inloopcentrum en van een gebruiksruimte. Voor elk van deze prioriteiten zijn concrete actiepunten geformuleerd, specifiek voor de lokale Gentse context.

Abstract

Examine how a community of support in Nineteenth-Century Paris became a blueprint for modern sexual identity! A unique social history, Pederasts and Others: Urban Culture and Sexual Identity in Nineteenth-Century Paris is a valuable addition to the growing field of gay and lesbian studies. The book examines the interaction between the city's male homosexual subculture and Parisian authority figures who attempted to maintain political and social order during the early years of the French Third Republic by using laws against public indecency and sexual assault to treat same-sex sexuality
