Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Trade Paperback. crease on corner Taking as its focus three familiar and profoundly influential social instituions, the family, work and welfare, this accessible and exciting text examines their role in maintaining social order and promoting social change in the UK from the 1950s to the beginning of the twenty-first century in a style which is both lively and academically rigorous. It shows how everyday life within these institutions is ordered by the exercise of power and resistance and charts how wider social and political changes have influenced these processes. These are pressing issues in contemporary life. This book provides an innovative introduction to the use of theory in the social sciences to address these big issues and to explain social relations and institutional practices and structures. 177 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Trade Paperback. This book looks at the role of the social sciences in explaining and exploring the explosion of knowledge in the contemporary world. Its stating point is the claim that all forms of knowledge, including the social sciences, must be understood in their social context. It argues that the social sciences both describe and transform what they study and it introduces students to some essential key concepts and arguments. In a radical and practical introduction to w3ays of thinking and knowing in the social sciences this text investigates the origins and consequences of different types of knowledge in areas of social change in both everyday thinking and more academic fields - medical science, religious belief systems, and the environment and political responses to environmental change. These issues are explored in the context of the emergence of what has been called the 'knowledge society; in which the proliferation of new sources of knowledge, which are transmitted at speed across the globe, has been accompanied by a decline in trust in tradtitional forms of authority and expert knowledge.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. Softcover. Reprint (1st pub. 1981). Traditionally, criminology was dominated by the twin concerns of locating the causes of crime in the individual and of attempting to improve the operational effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Some of the most recent (at the time) and valuable studies of crime have sought to move considerably beyond these narrow confines. They raise questions not only about crime and crime control but also about their social and historical contexts. This was the first textbook to reflect this shift in focus through the selection of material and its organisation. It combines theory and history, sociology and psychology by providing a selection of contemporary, theoretical and historical material. The classic authors provide the background and also historical examples to present contemporary debates in perspective. The whole of Part II, on Theory, comprises original material specially written for this Reader, including Jock Young's comprehensive analysis of the main models of criminological theory and Stan Cohen's discussion of the 'institutionalisation' of theory and its applications in criminal justice. Deviance and the New Criminology are fully discussed. Originally compiled for the Open University third-level course, 'Issues in Crime and Society', this book will also be of great value to other university and college courses in criminology.
