The Anatomy of Fraud and Corruption
This ground-breaking book explores what happens when the fine line between competitive excellence and fraudulent and corrupt practice is crossed. Whilst most fraud literature focuses on the individual perpetrator, The Anatomy of Fraud and Corruption looks at how organizations as a whole and the people within it behave when fraud and corruption occur. By presenting a theoretical basis and a practical methodology for fraud risk awareness training, the book helps risk management professionals, and all those in critical corporate roles to redesign and train their organizations to strengthen their culture and become more resistant and resilient to the ever present threat of fraud and corruption. ...
Legitimizing Corporate Harm
This book utilizes critical discourse analysis to illuminate the ways in which one of the largest agribusinesses in operation, Tyson Foods, disguises their actions whilst simultaneously presenting the image of a benign, good corporate citizen. Schally unveils how the discourses employed by Tyson gain legitimacy by drawing on and aligning with larger cultural discourses that are often taken for granted and not adequately scrutinised. This original research, situated at the intersection of green and cultural criminologies, contributes to these current perspectives as well as to the burgeoning social harm approach within criminology. A bold and engaging study, this book will be indispensable for students and scholars of green criminology, corporate crime, animals and society, and environmental sociology, as well as environmental and animal rights activists.
Violence
This book considers how the concept of violence has been interpreted, used, defined, and explored by social researchers and thinkers. It does not provide a final answer to the question of what violence is or how it should be explained (or prevented), and instead offers a variety of useful ways of thinking about and theorising the phenomenon, mainly from a sociological standpoint. It outlines four ways of understanding violence: • Violence as situation: the tension that exists between category-driven and situational explanations. • Violence as speciality: the study of particularly violent actors, and how they may be understood by reference to childhood histories, technologies, institutions, culture, class, and gender. • Violence as politics: political violence and violent politics. • Violence as storytelling: representations of violence from a narrative perspective. Concluding with reflections on possible convergences between the four approaches and new directions for research, this book offers a unique and experimental approach to discussing and reconstructing the concept of violence. It is essential reading for criminologists, sociologists, and philosophers alike.
The Anthem Companion to Everett Hughes
The Anthem Companion to Everett Hughes is a comprehensive and updated critical discussion of Hughes’s contribution to sociology and his current legacy in the social sciences. A global team of scholars discusses issues such as the international circulation of Hughes’s work, his intellectual biography, his impact on current ethnographic research practices and the use in current research of such Hughesian concepts as master status, dirty work and bastard institutions. This companion is a useful reference for students of classical sociology, practitioners of ethnographic research and scholars of sociology in the Chicagoan tradition.
Berättelsen om Hilma
En av de första dagarna i april år 1900 väntar föräldralösa Hilma, nyss fyllda sju, med en klump i magen. Hon står i gruset på Gärsnäs järnvägsstation på Österlen. Först tvingades hon lämna Gårdlösa och Tjustorp och sen Östra Herrestad. Nu kramar hon handtaget på sin lilla väska och väntar tillsammans med morbror Nils på att tåget ska komma. De ska åka till hennes nya fosterföräldrar på Brantevik. "Berättelsen om Hilma" är en personlig skildring av en hårt arbetande kvinna och en älskad mormor skriven av ett barnbarn. 25 korta avsnitt med många bilder berättar om Hilmas liv i både glädje och sorg: Ömma kärleksbrev och dansglädje, en make som piskar barnen med livrem och tio månader i fängelse för aborthjälp till döttrarna. Boken är också en berättelse om Österlen och Malmö i en annan tid. För att sätta in Hilmas liv i ett sammanhang skildrar några avsnitt hennes äldre släktingar. Andra avsnitt berättar om allmogens vardagsliv och seder på Österlen, det uppslitande skiftet av jorden som inleddes av friherre Rutger Macklean, upproren i Skåne under 1800-talet och fattigdomen i Malmö.
Marginalisasi dan Keberadaan Masyarakat
Buku ini mengungkap konsep non-mainstream mengenai kemampuan survival dari sebuah gerakan civil society komunitas marginal. Biasanya, kemampuan daya tahan hidup (survival) itu merupakan manifestasi kebersatuan dari mereka yang ditekan oleh berbagai pihak. Namun, pada kasus ini, Jamaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) mampu menunjukan bahwa kekuatan civil society mereka terbangun lewat budaya dan nilai-nilai keberadaban (civility) yang dipercaya pengikutnya. Kendati mengalami marginalisasi, JAI sebagai organisasi turut bergerak di beberapa bidang kehidupan masyarakat tanpa menonjolkan atribut-atribut organisasi, misalnya; gerakan untuk pendidikan, kesehatan, dan pemberdayaan sosial-ekonomi. Ironinya, era reformasi justru menunjukkan tingkat tekanan yang lebih kuat, walaupun begitu survivelitas JAI berikut aktivitas kejamaahannya tetap berjalan. Kondisi ini menunjukkan bahwa JAI sebagai komunitas Islam marginal masih mampu mempertahankan keberadaannya sebagai civil society

Hidden Attractions of Administration

This book argues that the expansion of administrative activities in today’s working life is driven not only by pressure from above, but also from below. The authors examine the inner dynamics of people-processing organizations—those formally working for clients, patients, or students—to uncover the hidden attractions of doing administrative work, despite all the complaints and laments about "too many meetings" or "too much paperwork." There is something appealing to those compelled ...
