The Costs of Children
ÔFinally, here is a book that provides a long-overdue holistic analysis of childcare. Written in a clear style, The Costs of Children breaks new ground in demonstrating how political choices about childcare have different impacts on equality of opportunity in Europe. After reading this book, one never again will view childcare as a private concern. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the realities of European integration, democratic policy-making and the gendered consequences of bearing and rearing children.Õ Ð Yvonne Galligan, QueenÕs University Belfast, UK This informative book explores the fair allocation of the costs of childcare in European countries and suggest...
Life Imprisonment
Life imprisonment has replaced capital punishment as the most common sentence imposed for heinous crimes worldwide. As a consequence, it has become the leading issue in international criminal justice reform. In the first global survey of prisoners serving life terms, Dirk van Zyl Smit and Catherine Appleton argue for a human rights–based reappraisal of this exceptionally harsh punishment. The authors estimate that nearly half a million people face life behind bars, and the number is growing as jurisdictions both abolish death sentences and impose life sentences more freely for crimes that would never have attracted capital punishment. Life Imprisonment explores this trend through systemati...
Life Imprisonment and Human Rights
In many jurisdictions today, life imprisonment is the most severe penalty that can be imposed. Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.
Straffen
Penologie is de leer van het straffen. De bestraffing heeft echter vele gezichten, en straffen als de doodstraf en de gevangenisstraf spreken nog altijd heel sterk tot de verbeelding. Waarom straft een samenleving? Wie zit er in de gevangenis? Hoe en door wie worden de straffen uitgevoerd? Welke gevolgen heeft een gevangenisstraf voor de gedetineerde? Wat betekent het om in de gevangenis te werken? Hoe en door wie wordt er beslist wanneer iemand kan vrij komen? En hoe zit het nu weer met dat elektronisch toezicht? Deze en nog veel andere vragen komen aan bod in dit boek, dat voortbouwt op een jarenlange wetenschappelijke interesse van de editors in verschillende aspecten van het straffen. He...
Bitches, babes & business
Moeten vrouwen de vamp spelen of hun scherpe klauwen slijpen om de top in de bedrijfswereld te bereiken? Of is dit een verouderd beeld van vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven? In deze negende editie van de boekenreeks Tweespraak Vrouwenstudies werpen we een blik op vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven vandaag. Recent onderzoek wijst uit dat vrouwen in de hogere posities van bedrijven nog steeds witte raven zijn. Emeritus hoogleraar Anneke van Doorne-Huiskes geeft een aantal antwoorden op de vraag waarom er zo weinig vrouwen in de hogere echelons van bedrijven zijn, gebaseerd op recent onderzoek en op haar praktijk als adviseur over de doorstroming van vrouwen naar hoge functies.00.
Johannes Hoornbeeck (1617-1666), On the Conversion of Indians and Heathens
Exploration, trade and conquest expanded and upset traditional worldviews of early modern Europeans. Christians saw themselves confronted with a largely heathen world. In the wake of Iberian colonization, Jesuits successfully christianized heathen populations overseas. In his De conversione Indorum et gentilium, Johannes Hoornbeeck presents a systematic overview of every aspect of the missionary imperative from a Reformed Protestant perspective. The most attractive part of his book may be the global survey it offers of the various types of heathens, an early example of comparative religion. Of equal interest, however, is his critical approach to mission. Hoornbeeck rejects ecclesiastical hierarchy and top-down imposition of Christianity. In this he is perfectly orthodox, and at the same time startlingly original and a harbinger of modern missions. His practical recommendations offer a flexible framework for missionaries, to fit a wide variety of circumstances.
