Download or read book Just Words written by Mary Kate McGowan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know that speech can be harmful. But what are the harms and how exactly does the speech in question brings those harms about? Mary Kate McGowan identifies a previously overlooked mechanism by which speech constitutes, rather than merely causes, harm. She argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. McGowan illustrates this theory by considering many categories of speech including sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers for stereotype threat, micro-aggressions, political dog whistles, slam poetry, and even the hanging of posters. Just Words explores a variety of harms - such as oppression, subordination, discrimination, domination, harassment, and marginalization - and ways in which these harms can be remedied.
Download or read book Keep You from Harm written by Debra Doxer and published by Debra Doxer. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets... They weigh you down. I've kept a secret all my life. It's my mother's secret, too. I inherited it from her along with a unique ability that only we possess. She's gone now, another victim of addiction. If her death isn't enough to bring me to my knees, her betrayal flays me to the bone. Because the secret my mother and I have been keeping is just one of many she'd kept. She never told me I have an older brother. And now he's here, eager to be my guardian. There is no one else. So I move across the country to live with this stranger, my brother. But experience has taught me that most situations are temporary and forming attachments only leads to hurt in the end. That's why I'm determined to keep to myself in this new place, struggling to seem aloof while I'm quietly breaking apart. Then I meet Lucas... His magnetism is hard to resist, and most girls at school aren't resisting. I don't fall so easily though, especially not for guys who use their good looks as a weapon. From the start, our interactions are tense and volatile. I know it's because I'm denying the unwelcome desire that grips me when he's near. I think he feels it, too. He looks at me with an intensity that threatens to unhinge my resolve. Soon he's trying to break through the walls that past hurts have built. But I'm not what I appear to be, and it wouldn't be fair to get involved with him. At least that's what I tell myself. Until a terrible act of violence reveals that Lucas has a secret, too. It's a secret that links us together and ties us to an evil history I never could have imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hidden Harm, Veronica Cook writes a biographical account of the difficulties of life growing up with parents who are drug addicts. The story is harrowing and upsetting at times but ultimately, incredibly rewarding and an inspiration to others who may find themselves in Veronica's situation. The book covers the early life of Veronica and her sisters where we learn of their parents' drug abuse and income from dealing drugs. Veronica describes a life surrounded by drugs, punters and a fear of the police. At an early age, she is asked to cut up and measure heroin for a punter as she shakes with fear. Veronica is desperate for her parents to be clean and when the family bring their yacht back from Turkey, this appears to be a possibility, but it is not to be and Veronica goes to Mexico to experience life for herself. A life of drug abuse eventually leads to her mother's death through a dirty needle, and Veronica must make the difficult choice between her loyalty to the family she grew up with or a future with her husband, children and her sanity.

DEA Special Agent Kent Thomson has his own personal reasons for bringing justice to the cartel. Cora and her drug-sniffing K-9 will only get in his way.

Book Synopsis Toward a Unified Criminology by : Robert Agnew
Download or read book Toward a Unified Criminology written by Robert Agnew and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people commit crimes? How do we control crime? The theories that criminologists use to answer these questions are built on a number of underlying assumptions, including those about the nature of crime, free will, human nature, and society. These assumptions have a fundamental impact on criminology: they largely determine what criminologists study, the causes they examine, the control strategies they recommend, and how they test their theories and evaluate crime-control strategies. In Toward a Unified Criminology, noted criminologist Robert Agnew provides a critical examination of these assumptions, drawing on a range of research and perspectives to argue that these assumptions are too restrictive, unduly limiting the types of "crime" that are explored, the causes that are considered, and the methods of data collection and analysis that are employed. As such, they undermine our ability to explain and control crime. Agnew then proposes an alternative set of assumptions, drawing heavily on both mainstream and critical theories of criminology, with the goal of laying the foundation for a unified criminology that is better able to explain a broader range of crimes.
Book Synopsis Children and parents affected by drug use by : Corina Giacomello
Download or read book Children and parents affected by drug use written by Corina Giacomello and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following an initial publication in 2022 on children whose parents use drugs, the Pompidou Group has continued research on this topic by looking at 33 programmes from 11 countries. These include data collection; parenting programmes; social and integrated services for children; multidisciplinary, holistic approaches to working with families; services for women victims and survivors of gender-based violence; protocols for co-operation; drug treatment services; and residential communities for women and their children. After giving the floor to women and children, respectively, in Volumes II and III of this series, the fourth volume offers a perspective of how to develop more comprehensive, child-centred approaches in drug policies in general and in non-stigmatising drug treatment and care in particular. This study, which is the outcome of international collaboration among researchers, practitioners and policy makers at different levels, works toward the ultimate goal of mainstreaming human rights, including children’s rights, into drug policy. The Children and families affected by parental drug use series comprises four volumes: Volume I Children whose parents use drugs – Promising practices and recommendations Volume II We are warriors – Women who use drugs reflect on parental drug use, their paths of consumption and access to services Volume III Listen to the silence of the child – Children share their experiences and proposals on the impact of drug use in the family Volume IV Children and parents affected by drug use – An overview of programmes and actions for comprehensive and non-stigmatising services and care

Book Synopsis An Applied Visual Sociology: Picturing Harm Reduction by : Stephen Parkin
Download or read book An Applied Visual Sociology: Picturing Harm Reduction written by Stephen Parkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the value of photography and video as legitimate forms of social enquiry, An Applied Visual Sociology: Picturing Harm Reduction constitutes a guidebook for conducting applied visual sociology within health related or social science research projects, providing a full account of the visual research journey and presenting a tested template for conducting theoretically-driven, sociologically-informed research. Against the background of the growing popularity of visual methods, this book goes beyond using photographs for illustrative and descriptive purposes, to emphasise the importance of sociological, epistemological and analytical theory, together with methods of data collection and the presentation of images for applied purposes. As such, An Applied Visual Sociology: Picturing Harm Reduction offers a template for considering visual data as applied research, providing a full account of the manner in which visual methods can inform research and specific interventions, together with opportunities for students and practitioners to consider applied visual sociology in a series of practical or self-study tasks . It will therefore appeal not only to students and researchers involved in social and health-related qualitative research, or those seeking to conduct innovative visual projects within the social sciences, but also to scholars interested in research methods, visual ethnography and harm reduction approaches to drug use.

Book Synopsis The Right Not to be Criminalized by : Dennis J. Baker
Download or read book The Right Not to be Criminalized written by Dennis J. Baker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents arguments and proposals for constraining criminalization, with a focus on the legal limits of the criminal law. The book approaches the issue by showing how the moral criteria for constraining unjust criminalization can and has been incorporated into constitutional human rights and thus provides a legal right not to be unfairly criminalized. The book sets out the constitutional limits of the substantive criminal law. As far as specific constitutional rights operate to protect specific freedoms, for example, free speech, freedom of religion, privacy, etc, the right not to be criminalized has proved to be a rather powerful justice constraint in the U.S. Yet the general right not to be criminalized has not been fully embraced in either the U.S. or Europe, although it does exist. This volume lays out the legal foundations of that right and the criteria for determining when the state might override it. The book will be of interest to researchers in the areas of legal philosophy, criminal law, constitutional law, and criminology.

Book Synopsis Law, Drugs and the Politics of Childhood by : Simon Flacks
Download or read book Law, Drugs and the Politics of Childhood written by Simon Flacks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about the regulation of drugs are inseparable from talk of children and the young. Yet how has this association come to be so strong, and why does it have so much explanatory, rhetorical and political force? The premise for this book is that the relationship between drugs and childhood merits more exploration beyond simply pointing out that children and drugs are both ‘things we tend to get worried about’. It asks what is at stake when legislators, lobbyists and decision-makers revert to claims about children in order to sustain a given legal or policy position. Beginning with a genealogy of the relationship between the discursive artefacts of ‘drugs’ and ‘childhood’, the book draws on Foucauldian methodologies to explore how childhood functions as a device in the biopolitical management of drug use(rs) and supply. In addition to analysing decriminalisation initiatives and sentencing measures, it (unusually) reaches beyond the criminal context to consider the significance of the ‘politics of childhood’ for law- and policymaking in the fields of family justice and education. It concludes by arguing that the currency of childhood and ‘youth’ is not reducible to rhetoric; it shapes the discursive entities of drugs and addiction and is one of the ways in which particular substances become socially, culturally and politically intelligible. At the same time, ‘drugs’ serve as a technology of child normalisation. The book will be essential reading for policymakers as well as researchers and students working in the areas of Criminal Justice, Law, Psychology and Sociology.
