Governing Delinquency Through Freedom
This book analyses the non-custodial government of young offenders in two major cities in Brazil. In doing so, it delves into the paradox of an institution exerting control over youths while at the same time promoting their autonomy and responsibility. The study sheds light on the specific logics of power, control, and inequality produced by such institutional settings. The book’s analysis is based on an ethnographic study of ‘Assisted Freedom’ (Liberdade Assistida) – a form of probation – in the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. This particular context – which is characterized by endemic violent crime, on the one hand, and a highly protective juvenile justic...
Transitions Out of Crime
This book contributes to our knowledge of desistance in a developing country. Offering an intercultural dialogue with mainstream explanations, Transitions Out of Crime analyses the transition from crime to conformity among a group of Chilean juvenile offenders. Desistance from crime is not just the cessation of criminal activity itself, but a process of acquiring roles, identities, and virtues; of developing new social ties, and of inhabiting new spaces. This book offers new evidence that shows that the traditional binary between the ‘reformed desister’ and the ‘anti-social persister’ is inaccurate and that the road to desistance contains various oscillations between crime and conformity. Furthermore, this study shows the role that gender plays in shaping, limiting and structuring pathways away from crime. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to those engaged in criminology, sociology, penology, desistance, rehabilitation, gender studies and all those interested in the transition from crime to conformity outside the Anglo-American orthodoxy.
Assessing Prostitution Policies in Europe
Once again, prostitution occupies a prominent position on public and political agendas, both nationally and internationally. A topic of concern and interest within social and academic realms, it is a highly moralised, contested issue that is at the centre of heated and drawn-out debates. With each chapter dedicated to a separate country and written by a national authority on the subject, Assessing European Prostitution Policies seeks to explore how prostitution is regulated in 21 European countries, thus drawing out important implications for an effective and humane prostitution policy. Indeed, this innovative volume brings together systematic accounts of how national and local forms of gove...
The Architecture of Desistance
The volume of studies into desistance has grown dramatically in recent years. Much of this research has focused on the internal dynamics of desistance such as decision-making, choice and restraint. Bringing together leading figures and drawing upon case studies from around the world, this book seeks to fill a vacuum in the contemporary literature on desistance by considering processes and practices at a societal level that influence how and why people desist from crime. Beginning with an outline of what is known about how social, cultural and economic structures shape desistance from crime, this book proceeds to explore studies of desistance in countries such as the UK, Brazil, France, Israe...
Desistance and Societies in Comparative Perspective
Scholarly exploration into how and why people stop offending (desistance from crime) has focused on the impact of internal and external factors in processes of desistance. Prior research has, in general, been undertaken within one nation and neglected the fact that desistance processes are situated within a broad social context which shapes an individual’s perceptions and actions. This book begins to fill this gap by exploring how societies and cultures shape desistance processes and experiences. Desistance and Societies in Comparative Perspective offers findings from a cross-national comparative mixed-method study of desistance processes in England and Israel: two countries with different...
Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era
Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era delves into feminist debates surrounding the relationship between gender and human rights through engaging feminist perspectives on the multifaceted issue of human trafficking. Building on analyses of domestic servitude, commercial sex, and labor trafficking by military contractors, and grounded in intersectional feminist cosmopolitanism and feminist theorizing on vulnerability, precarity, and ethical interdependence, Laura Hebert makes several interrelated contributions. As she explores how a feminist gender analysis illuminates the structures and norms enabling trafficking, Hebert simultaneously considers the future of feminist rights advocac...
Le contrôle des jeunes déviants
Les perceptions publiques de la jeunesse semblent se cristalliser autour de deux figures bien distinctes: d’un côté, une jeunesse ordinaire, dont on dit souvent qu’« il faut bien qu’elle se passe ». Elle est certes parfois turbulente, ou même politisée, mais ses désordres semblent transitoires et, du moins aux yeux d’une partie de la société, légitimes. De l’autre côté, une jeunesse menaçante, issue des classes populaires, qui met en échec les instances traditionnelles de socialisation et ne semble répondre qu’aux exigences de la rue, du quartier ou du gang. Si cette seconde figure n’est pas nouvelle, sa perception s’est sensiblement modifiée et le fossé s’...

Le travail social sous l'œil de la prudence
Partant de points de vue théoriques et disciplinaires variés, l'ouvrage mobilise la notion de prudence ou de " sagesse pratique " pour penser le travail social contemporain. Loin des principes tels que l'efficience, la performance, l'objectivité ou la prévisibilité du travail, la notion de prudence porte l'attention sur la singularité, la complexité, l'incertitude ou encore la vulnérabilité qui caractérisent le travail social. Les contributions réunies proposent une immersion dans différents champs d'activité (service social, animation, éducation, travail social en milieu scolaire) et mettent au jour la multiplicité des registres d'actions et de connaissances mobilisés au quotidien. Les savoir-faire professionnels sont-ils toujours cadrés par des " pouvoir-faire " organisationnels ? Comment les professionnel-le-s définissent-ils et elles les priorités, quels sont les arbitrages opérés en situation de travail ? Les espaces de délibération professionnels sont-ils suffisants pour parer l'incertitude, pour limiter au mieux les dommages à autrui, pour réfléchir aux finalités de l'activité ?
Prison Education and Desistance
This book explores prisoners’ experiences of prison education and investigates whether participation in prison education contributes to an offender’s ability to desist from crime and increases social capital levels. While the link between prison education and reduced rates of recidivism is well established through research, far less is known about the relationship between prison education and desistance. The book demonstrates how prisoners experience many benefits from participating in prison education, including increased confidence, self-control and agency, along with various other cognitive changes. In addition, the book examines prisoners’ accounts that provide evidence of strong c...
