Mugging as a Social Problem

Mugging as a Social Problem

First published in 1980 Mugging as a Social Problem sets out to remedy the deficiency of serious research on mugging. The work is based on a random sample of over 1000 muggings which occurred within the Metropolitan Police District in the mid-1970s and the author analyses the results not only in absolute and comparative terms but also against a background of social determinants such as ecology deprivation and race. Dr. Pratt’s long-term solution is not novel: an all-round improvement in housing employment and social conditions will eventually remove the circumstances which create muggers; but there are steps he suggests which can be taken in the short term to stop mugging by reducing opportunity. However before any effective measures can be introduced more facts are needed about the background motives and methods of the typical mugger: it is just such facts that this study sets out to provide. This book will be of interest to students of sociology law urban studies and criminology.

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Critical Views of Logic

Critical Views of Logic

This book examines positions that challenge the Fregean logic-first view. It raises critical questions about logic by examining various ways in which logic may be entangled with mathematics and metaphysics. Is logic topic-neutral and general? Can we take the application of logic for granted? This book suggests that we should not be dogmatic about logic but ask similar critical questions about logic as those Kant raised about metaphysics and mathematics. It challenges the Fregean logic-first view according to which logic is fundamental and hence independent of any extra-logical considerations. Whereas Quine assimilated logic and mathematics to the theoretical parts of empirical science the present volume explores views that stop short of his thoroughgoing holism but instead take logic to be answerable to or entangled with some particular disciplines. The contributions provide views that assign primacy to mathematical reasons Kantian metaphysical grounds Husserlian transcendental phenomenological reflection or normative considerations about how terms ought to be defined in various fields of empirical science or mathematics. Space is thereby carved out between a Fregean position on the one hand and Quinean holism on the other. Critical Views of Logic will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of philosophy linguistics mathematics and computer science as well as those engaged in various fields of empirical science. The chapters in this book except for chapter 4 were originally published in the journal Inquiry.

Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing

Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing

This book demonstrates the unique contribution police ethnographies make to our understanding of policing cultures and practices in a variety of international settings. It features contemporary examples of police ethnographies that demonstrate the continuing value of ethnographic work to our understanding of policing. The first section of the book focuses on the police and Anglo-American policing. The second section is international in scope and seeks to enrich our understandings of policing ‘beyond’ the police. Chapters explore police interactions during a stop and search and at a carnival. They peer behind the scenes at the control room and at the use of intelligence. We listen in to the experiences of new recruits and the stories told in canteens. They also take us into the world of private security agencies to Kenya and to Vietnam. The book explores the position of ethnographers asking: whether we do too much with rather than on the police; and whether our work reveals more about us as academics than them as officers. Together they are revealing of a changing policing landscape. Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing demonstrates the unique value of ethnographic work in the fields of policing studies and criminology. It will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of policing criminology sociology law and research methods. The chapters in this book were originally published in two special issues of Policing and Society.
