This book is concerned with the practical, ethical and political realities of critical research around state punishment. By definition, critical research is a dynamic and political process which recognizes the broad structural contexts within which human action takes place. Critical researchers argue for a more dynamic and reflexive approach to research, and have duties to expose oppressive structures and practices, make audible voices that are habitually silenced, and empower and emancipate marginalized groups and individuals. Based on a series of interviews conducted with researchers within and outside of academia, this book aims to capture the personal challenges, ethical dilemmas, practical obstacles, positive rewards and (potential or actual) harmful effects of undertaking critical research concerned with state punishment. It will also explore the different mediums used to disseminate research findings and how such findings are received by peers, the public and the state.Researching Punishment is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, media, sociology, journalism, film studies, and cultural studies.

Key Ideas in Criminology

This agenda-setting book argues that Trial by Media is redefining the meaning and nature of justice in a multi-media world. Through a multi-disciplinary analysis of the anatomy, production, consumption, impact, and normative and legal boundaries of this new form of media justice, Trial by Media develops an original framework for examining the moral politics of crime, control and criminal justice in the post-trust society.

Trial by Media is a form of interactive, mediatised justice in which individuals and institutions are accused, tried, judged and sentenced in the ‘court of public opinion’. This agenda-setting book argues that Trial by Media is redefining the meaning and nature of justice in a multi-media world. First, the authors map the neoliberal transformations and cultural dynamics that have given rise to this new form of media justice. Then, systematically analysing the anatomy, production, consumption, impact, and normative and legal boundaries of trial by media, they examine the proliferation of high-profile celebrity trials, press campaigns in the name of crime victims, the exposure of transgression, scandal and cover-up by powerful individuals and institutions, and the growing influence of media justice on criminal justice policy and practice. Drawing from a diversity of multi-disciplinary resources, Trial by Media looks beyond mainstream understandings of crime and media to develop an original framework for examining the moral politics of crime, control and criminal justice in the post-trust society.

Routledge Advances in Sociology

Philanthropy, Art and Society investigates the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Critically evaluating the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, the book shows that it is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us.

Philanthropy, Art and Society sets up, for the first time, the field of arts philanthropy in the UK, shedding light on the variety of ways in which individuals and organisations give their time and money to support the arts. Herrero and Reid evaluate the history of arts philanthropy, its legacy, and its significance in today’s society. They explore the idea that giving to the arts is a form of behaviour influenced by its specific historical, socio-cultural and political context which can profoundly affect its recipients (organisations and individuals) as well as shape the very context in which these recipients operate.First, they investigate the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Second, they critically evaluate the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, asking such questions as: <ul> <li>does philanthropy reinforce or mitigate social inequalities?</li> <li>what effects does it have on organisational cultures and structures of recipients?</li> <li>can philanthropy ensure the long-term sustainability of the arts sectors?</li> </ul>The book’s exploration of how philanthropy constitutes society shows that philanthropy is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, politics, international relations, economics, anthropology, cultural policy, cultural studies, philanthropy and non-profit studies, entrepreneurial studies, business studies, management, and the non-profit sector.

The Scientific, Clinical and Commercial Development of the Stem Cell

There are very few sociology textbooks that attempt to provide a general introduction for students to modern Asia. Within the framework of the comparative sociology of Asian societies, this volume explores key issues in culture and social structure. In cultural terms, it considers religion, nationalism and popular culture. With regard to social structure, there is an emphasis on gender, the family, social class and ethnicity. This comparative study also examines major aspects of social change relating to contemporary globalization.

This textbook provides an ambitious overview of Asia from the perspective of the comparative sociology of culture and social structure. Starting with the history of colonialism and empire, the study examines major dimensions of modern social change from population and migration, the growth of nationalism and communism, and the development of religions, both popular and official. This sociological approach considers the major structural dimensions of Asian societies in terms of gender, sexuality and the family, social class, ethnicity and inequality, and democracy and citizenship. The empirical examples are taken from north and east Asia (China, Vietnam,South Korea and Japan) and from Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia). There are passing references to South Asia, Thailand and the Philippines.Its coherence is provided by a macro-sociological perspective (a modern interpretation of the sociology of Max Weber). The special features of the volume are: a consistent focus on the effects of globalization; attention to the modern legacy of religious traditions (Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity and popular religion); an awareness of the importance of gender, family and reproduction; and finally concluding chapters examining democracy, human rights and citizenship.

Anthropological Studies of Creativity and Perception

With growing popular and academic interest in the development and importance of three-dimensional modelling and technologies across a range of practices, this book advances analyses of three-dimensional models from perspectives in anthropology, anatomy, architecture and history, examining the ways in which models shape perceptions of bodies, buildings and histories.  Focusing on models in practice - that is, on how they have been made, used and interpreted over time in social and cultural contexts -  3D Modelling: Bodies and Buildings in Anthropology, Anatomy and Architecture, explores the importance of models in the constitution and communication of knowledge. With attention to the multiple and changing ways in which models are created and employed, the material dimensions of models and their implications, the kinds of knowledge generated by models in action and the social relations formed through model making and use, this volume engages with current debates concerning material culture, knowledge production and creativity.   Presenting detailed empirical case studies from across a range of disciplines, it addresses key questions surrounding the reasons for which models take particular forms, the effects of their material and visual qualities in relation to bodily action and the senses, and the ways in which they carry or disrupt cultural values and ideals. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in in the connections between knowledge, practice and perception.

Public Policy and Politics

A key source of theory and practice for students interested in engaging communities in the policy process, the third edition of this authoritative textbook provides the ideal introduction to the development of policy and practice in relation to community over the past sixty years.

Community and the ideas associated with it – civil society, social capital, mutuality, networks – are often seen by policy makers as the solution to persistent problems in society, most recently in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Substantially revised and updated to reflect advances in research, theory and practice, this enables students to combine theoretical discussion of policy with practical national and international case studies such population movement, Covid-19, climate change, the rise of populism, new digital technologies inc. social media and virtual communities, changing understandings of identity, and rising inequality.

Addressing in particular the challenges, contradictions and dilemmas inherent in ideas of community empowerment, Taylor's indispensiable text asks how far communities of place still have relevance in a fast changing world and how far practices developed over the decades remain relevant to the challenges of the coming years. A pivotal assessment of the place of community in policy and practice today.
