The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

New directions in queer theory continue to trouble the boundaries of both queerness and the classical leading to an explosion of new work in the vast—and increasingly uncharted—intersection between these disciplines which this interdisciplinary volume seeks to explore. This handbook convenes an international group of experts who work on the classical world and queer theory. The discipline of Classics has been involved with and implicated in queer theory from the start. By placing front and center the rejection of heteronormativity queer theory has provided Classics with a powerful tool for analyzing non-normative sexual and gender relations in the ancient West while Classics offers queer theory ancient material (such as literature visual arts and social practices) that challenges a wide range of modern normative categories. The collection demonstrates the vitality of this particular moment in queer classical studies featuring an expansive array of methodologies applied to the interdisciplinary field of Classics. Embracing the indeterminacy that lies at the core of queer studies the essays in this volume are organized not by chronology or genre but rather by overlapping categories under the following rubrics: queer subjectivities queer times and places queer kinships queer receptions and ancient pasts/queer futures. The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory offers an invaluable collection for anyone working on queer theory especially as it applies to premodern periods; it will also be of interest to scholars engaging with the history of sexuality both in the ancient world and more broadly.

Routledge Handbook of Evidence-Based Criminal Justice Practices

Now more than ever the criminal justice system and the programs policies and practices within it are subject to increased public scrutiny due to well-founded concerns over effectiveness fairness and potential unintended consequences. One of the best means to address these concerns is to draw upon evidence-based approaches demonstrated to be effective through empirical research rather than through anecdote standard practice or professional experience alone (National Institute of Justice 2011). The goal of this book is to describe the most useful actionable and evidence-based solutions to many of the most pressing questions in the criminal justice system today. Specifically this edited volume contains brief and accessible summaries of the best available research alongside detailed descriptions of evidence-based practices across different areas of the criminal justice system. It is written so that practitioners and researchers alike can use the text as reference tool in their work and in training the new generation of individuals working to improve the system. Researchers and practitioners in many areas of criminal justice – crime prevention policing courts (prosecution defendants judges) corrections sanctions and sentencing – can reference specific chapters in this book to guide their policy and practice decisions. Although theory is a guide for the practices described the chapters will address practical issues in implementation and action. This book overcomes the limitations of previous criminal justice practice books in that it is written as a practice resource and reference guide and spans practices and policies across different sectors of the criminal justice system – from prevention to policing to sanctions and corrections. Each chapter contains a list of action items based upon the best available scientific research that can be implemented in practice to address key issues and long standing challenges in the criminal justice system. | Routledge Handbook of Evidence-Based Criminal Justice Practices
