Current Perspectives on Viral Disease Outbreaks
The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded the world that infectious diseases are still important. The last 40 years have experienced the emergence of new or resurging viral diseases such as AIDS, ebola, MERS, SARS, Zika, and others. These diseases display diverse epidemiologies ranging from sexual transmission to vector-borne transmission (or both, in the case of Zika). This book provides an overview of recent developments in the detection, monitoring, treatment, and control of several viral diseases that have caused recent epidemics or pandemics.
The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico
Civil society organizations report that fourteen children disappear every day in Mexico. This book studies the origins of this social phenomenon and its consequences, not only in the emotional sphere, but also in how children have been treated. Focusing on children's special positions within Mexican society rather than criminal acts or the implementation of the law, Sosenski links social and cultural history, the history of crime and fear, the application of justice and the media's role, childhood and the city to paint a multi-dimensional picture of child abduction and its causes. Exploring the social impact of child protection policies and the figure of the robachicos, or child kidnapper, Soneski draws from oral traditions, films and books, songs and plays; all of which embody a culture of fear and danger reported and accentuated by a mass media response. The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico focuses on the role of the media and entertainment in the legitimization of violence toward children and the objectification of their lives, stripping them of their right to freedom and curtailing their autonomy.
Bauman a debate
En esta obra colectiva se dan cita profesionales de diversas disciplinas, con el fin de discutir las ideas del sociólogo polaco Zygmunt Bauman y el impacto que éstas tienen en la política criminal del mundo occidental. Los participantes discuten acerca del ya conocido concepto de “modernidad líquida”, las redes sociales como “lugares donde la vigilancia es voluntaria y autoinfligida” y su relación con fenómenos como la globalización y la pobreza. Resulta particularmente interesante la exposición de ideas acerca de la exclusión social, la criminalización de la pobreza y las políticas penitenciarias de los sistemas penales en el mundo.
