A Garland of Bones
An intimate portrait of India's child runaways, and the sociopolitical forces shaping their lives This intimate portrait examines the tracks, journeys, and experiences of child runaways in northern India. Jonah Steinberg situates children's decisions to leave home and flee for the city in their larger cultural, social, and historical contexts, and considers histories of landlessness and debt servitude in narratives of child dislocation. The resulting work is an original perspective on the sociological trends in postcolonial India and a unique treatment of a population of individuals who live on the margin of society.
Research, Records and Responsibility
The Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC) has been on the cutting edge of digital archiving, building a significant historical collection and community of practice engaged in the preservation and accessibility of research materials.

Empowering Children
Principles, Strategies, and Techniques for Mobilizing Child Participation in the Development Process Empowering Children is especially designed for field practitioners seeking ways to encourage young people—particularly the marginalized—to become more involved in changing their circumstances. Through dozens of exercises and lessons, the book presents a variety of practical methods for engaging children in the development process—from assessments to evaluations. Discussions on issues such as personal empowerment, self-esteem, problem analysis, and child protection can equip leaders to help children serve as agents of change who understand how valuable they are. The book concludes with preparations for a community child participation plan. From a Christian perspective, the realization that all children have dignity and are created in the image of God helps us to see that every child's input is valuable. The Bible's concepts of community, church, and mission further help us to see that God not only uses kids in his wonderful plan, but that he also wants all of his children—male, female, young, and old—to participate in his work in the world.
Children in Police Custody
Drawing on the first comprehensive study in England and Wales to review the police custody process from the perspective of children, Bevan traces the child's journey from arrest, through detention and interview, to release or remand. A rights-based approach is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the protection under the present legal framework.
Handbuch Spezielle Soziologien
Das „Handbuch Spezielle Soziologien“ gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die weit verzweigte Landschaft soziologischer Teilgebiete und Praxisfelder. Im Gegensatz zu vergleichbaren Buchprojekten versammelt der Band in über vierzig Einzelbeiträgen neben den einschlägigen Gegenstands- und Forschungsfeldern der Soziologie wie etwa der Familien-, Kultur- und Religionssoziologie auch oftmals vernachlässigte Bereiche wie etwa die Architektursoziologie, die Musiksoziologie und die Soziologie des Sterbens und des Todes. Damit wird sowohl dem interessierten Laien, den Studierenden von Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen als auch den professionellen Lehrern und Forschern der Soziologie ein Gesamtbild des Faches vermittelt. Die jeweiligen Artikel führen grundlegend in die einzelnen Teilbereiche der Soziologie ein und informieren über Genese, Entwicklung und den gegenwärtigen Stand des Forschungsfeldes.
