Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-based violence (HBV) is a crime committed to protect or defend the honor of a family and/or a community. It is usually triggered by the victim’s behavior which the family and/or community regards as causing offense or dishonor. HBV has existed for thousands of years but has only very recently become a focus of law enforcement policy makers and statutory and non-statutory agencies. A volume in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series Honor-Based Violence: Policing and Prevention is designed to assist all those who confront these crimes in understanding what HBV is how it can be recognized and how we can support the victims families and communities that experience it. Topics include: An overview of what is known about the psychological and cultural factors relevant to understanding of HBV Gaps in current knowledge and the strengths and weaknesses of various investigative and management strategies Factors related to risk assessment of HBV Best practices based on the authors’ experience for individuals involved in all levels of policing HBV—from first responders to those involved in strategic management How working in partnership with multiple agencies can reduce risk support investigations and help protect victims The importance of sensitivity toward differences in race culture and religion The research and best practices are drawn largely from the work done by the Violent Crime Directorate of the Metropolitan Police Service (London UK) managed by authors Gerry Campbell and Glen Lloyd. The accessible style of this text makes it a valuable resource for law enforcement and policing professionals who investigate these crimes and a suitable textbook for policing and criminal justice courses. | Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

The idea behind this volume according to its editor Brian Lavery was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91 1951 ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107 1965 ed C C Lloyd. )The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because stated Brian Lavery ‘there are no suitable documents from earlier periods’ and closes in 1815 when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time and the ways in which they were fed clothed allocated space for eating and sleeping at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations Captain’s Orders Medical Journals discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time. | Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Imagination and the Imaginary

Imagination and the Imaginary

The concept of the imaginary is pervasive within contemporary thought yet can be a baffling and often controversial term. In Imagination and the Imaginary Kathleen Lennon explores the links between imagination - regarded as the faculty of creating images or forms - and the imaginary which links such imagery with affect or emotion and captures the significance which the world carries for us. Beginning with an examination of contrasting theories of imagination proposed by Hume and Kant Lennon argues that the imaginary is not something in opposition to the real but the very faculty through which the world is made real to us. She then turns to the vexed relationship between perception and imagination and drawing on Kant Merleau-Ponty and Sartre explores some fundamental questions such as whether there is a distinction between the perceived and the imagined; the relationship between imagination and creativity; and the role of the body in perception and imagination. Invoking also Spinoza and Coleridge Lennon argues that far from being a realm of illusion the imaginary world is our most direct mode of perception. She then explores the role the imaginary plays in the formation of the self and the social world. A unique feature of the volume is that it compares and contrasts a philosophical tradition of thinking about the imagination - running from Kant and Hume to Strawson and John McDowell - with the work of phenomenological psychoanalytic poststructuralist and feminist thinkers such as Merleau-Ponty Sartre Lacan Castoriadis Irigaray Gatens and Lloyd. This makes Imagination and the Imaginary essential reading for students and scholars working in phenomenology philosophy of perception social theory cultural studies and aesthetics.
