Youth violence is a pressing social concern and this book examines several elements of youth violence prevention. It offers state-of-the-art research on several different topics including: the relationship between bullying offending and victimization; the relationship between race and the code of the streets’ explanation for violent offending; and how differences in methodology affect the validity of the multiple marginality theory of gang membership.

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs are growing in many different social economic and political environments coupled with an alarming breakdown of public order. Failures to contain or reduce gang crime in European Asian South American African and North American cities may be symptoms of fundamental problems threatening the fabric of many societies. The spread of gangs to suburbia and remote locations is a palpable worldwide threat. But despite nearly a century of scholarly inquiry into street gangs and youth subcultures no single work systematically reflects on comparative international experiences with gangs. Gangs and Youth Subcultures takes up this challenge. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst argue that theories of gang behavior in immigrant communities and the influence of transnational crime syndicates are better tested in more than one host society. Similar phenomena would be better understood if placed in a comparative context. To this purpose the editors assembled expert scholars and policy advisers from North America Europe South Africa and Australasia. Gangs and Youth Subculture lays the groundwork for an explanation of why gangs continue to grow in strength and influence and why they have spread to remote locations. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst present new findings and innovative preventive strategies in a clear concise fashion. No other work brings together experts on gangs and youth subcultures from so many countries. As such this trailblazing book will interest scholars and teachers of criminology and sociology justice system administrators as well as law enforcement officers and youth workers internationally. | Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

The overthrow of the ‘gang of four’ in 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society and probably nowhere can this be seen more clearly than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing Mao Zedong’s widow was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. Professor Mackerras describes this influence and the effects its removal had on the arts in the years after Mao’s death as well as in the years following the Cultural Revolution. This book first published in 1981 deals not only with opera the spoken play music and dance but also with cinema describing how in all these cases the Chinese have adapted traditional art forms for political social and propagandist purposes both domestic and international. It charts the transformations that have taken place in all the multiple aspects of the performing arts and sets them against the development of Chinese society as a whole. It also looks at the role of the actor and performer in society including their training social status and livelihood. | The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

Latino Peoples in the New America Racialization and Resistance

Latino Peoples in the New America Racialization and Resistance

Latinos are the largest group among Americans of color. At 59 million they constitute nearly a fifth of the US population. Their number has alarmed many in government other mainstream institutions and the nativist right who fear the white-majority US they have known is disappearing. During the 2016 US election and after Donald Trump has played on these fears embracing xenophobic messages vilifying many Latin American immigrants as rapists drug smugglers or gang bangers. Many share such nativist desires to build enhanced border walls and create immigration restrictions to keep Latinos of various backgrounds out. Many whites’ racist framing has also cast native-born Latinos their language and culture in an unfavorable light. Trump and his followers’ attacks provide a peek at the complex phenomenon of the racialization of US Latinos. This volume explores an array of racialization’s manifestations including white mob violence profiling by law enforcement political disenfranchisement whitewashed reinterpretations of Latino history and culture and depictions of good Latinos as racially subservient. But subservience has never marked the Latino community and this book includes pointed discussions of Latino resistance to racism. Additionally the book’s scope goes beyond the United States revealing how Latinos are racialized in yet other societies. | Latino Peoples in the New America Racialization and Resistance

Race Class and Political Symbols Rastafari and Reggae in Jamaican Politics

Race Class and Political Symbols Rastafari and Reggae in Jamaican Politics

Dr. Waters is one of a new breed of analysts for whom the interpenetration of politics culture and national development is key to a larger integration of social research. Race Class and Political Symbols is a remarkably cogent examination of the uses of Rastafarian symbols and reggae music in Jamaican electoral campaigns. The author describes and analyzes the way Jamaican politicians effectively employ improbable strategies for electoral success. She includes interviews with reggae musicians Rastafarian leaders government and party officials and campaign managers. Jamaican democracy and politics are fused to its culture; hence campaign advertisements reggae songs party pamphlets and other documents are part of the larger picture of Caribbean life and letters. This volume centers and comes to rest on the adoption of Rastafarian symbols in the context of Jamaica's democratic institutions which are characterized by vigorous campaigning electoral fraud and gang violence. In recent national elections such violence claimed the lives of hundreds of people. Significant issues are dealt with in this cultural setting: race differentials among Whites Browns and Blacks; the rise of anti-Cubanism; the Rastafarians' response to the use of their symbols; and the current status of Rastafarian ideological legitimacy. | Race Class and Political Symbols Rastafari and Reggae in Jamaican Politics

Civilian Participants in the Cultural Revolution Being Vulnerable and Being Responsible

Civilian Participants in the Cultural Revolution Being Vulnerable and Being Responsible

In the ten years of the Cultural Revolution political persecutions violation of rights deprivation of freedom violence and brutality were daily occurrences. Especially striking is the huge number of ordinary civilians who were involved in inflicting pain and suffering on their comrades colleagues friends neighbors and even family members. The large-scale and systematic form of violence and injustice that was witnessed differs from that in countries like Chile under military rule or South Africa during apartheid in that such acts were largely committed by ordinary people instead of officials in uniforms. Mok asks how we should assess the moral responsibility of these wrongdoers if any for the harm they did both voluntarily and involuntarily. After the death of Chairman Mao there was a trial of the Gang of Four who were condemned as the chief perpetrators of the Cultural Revolution. Besides tens of millions of officials and cadres who were wrongly accused and unfairly treated were subsequently cleared and reinstated under the new leadership. However justice has not yet been fully done because no legal or political mechanism has ever been established for the massive number of civilian perpetrators to answer for all sorts of violence inflicted on other civilians to make peace with their victims and to make amends. The numerous civilians who participated need to come to terms with the people they wronged in those turbulent years. Justice in general and transitional justice in particular may still be pursued by taking the first steps to clarify and identify the moral burden and responsibility that may legitimately be ascribed to the various types of participant. This book will be of interest to anyone who studies the Cultural Revolution of China especially those who are concerned with the ethical dimension. | Civilian Participants in the Cultural Revolution Being Vulnerable and Being Responsible
