Towards a dispositionalist (and unifying) account of addiction
A long-run survival analysis of corporate liquidations in Ireland
The Endangered Empire
Transnational organized crime in the United States represents the dark side of globalization. This chapter attempts to identify the key problems that face US law enforcement in its efforts to cope with the challenges posed by transnational crime. While the realities of global crime require a broad, comprehensive law enforcement response, unfortunately, even in the United States, law enforcement agencies still tend to turn to local organizations a…
A new horizon on organised crime
David Critchely's reading of the historical records about Italian-American-organised crime seems deliberately provocative as a means of forcing new attention on an increasingly fossilised topic. In
And Its Anxious Phantoms
“Metaphysical mutations – that is to say, global transformation in the values to which the majority subscribe – are rare in the history of humanity. The rise of Christianity might be cited as an example.Once a metaphysical mutation has arisen, it tends to move inexorably toward its logical conclusion. Heedlessly, it sweeps away economic and political systems, aesthetic judgments and social hierarchies. No human agency can halt its progress – noth…
Note on the Linguistic Labyrinth of the War on Terrorism
The chief claim of this essay is that certain types of discourse embellished by provocative language encourages violence against those labeled as enemies. The most disturbing implication, however, is that the creators of distorted impressions that exaggerate negative images of antagonists may themselves come to believe their own verbal and visual deceptions
HIV transmission in Bangladesh
Sopranoland
The Sopranos television series teems with meditations on morality and, presents many conundrums. Is the series a humorous cultural artifact or a description of some evil, criminal and salacious folkways embedded in contemporary American society? Perhaps both.As with Laclos and Richardson1 David Chase, the writer-producer of the successful cable television series, examines the lifestyles of gangsters who in many ways behave like monsters. But it a…
Scenes of Everyday Life
Erving Goffman was one of the leading figures in the Symbolic Interactionist movement in modern sociology and social psychology. He died in November, 1982 leaving behind a brilliant body of work which continues to be read and studied in universities around the world. From The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life to Forms of Talk and Gender Advertisements that cover subjects as diverse as self image, mental illness institutions, gambling casinos,…
Heartbreakers and Bonebreakers
In Western societies the closing of the twentieth century witnessed sweeping changes across many forms of life – including the Mafia. Within the crime families male dominance continues but with important qualifications. The norm of male authority has been eclipsed by Carmela soprano emerging triumphantly from the loyal maternal role of devotion to her family, church, and her cooking. Behind the glitter of jewels, the clouds of teased-cut hair and…
Vulnerabilities to Terrorism
In recent decades the nature of the terrorist threat has changed from narrow nationalistic political goals to motives cultivating an apocalytic religious fanaticism. While traditional froms of terror continue seeking ethnic autonomy, poloitical independence, and control of criminal enterprises, the tactics of groups like al-Qaeda have come to dominate public attention. Historically, terrorist events and phenomena were designed to produce minimal …
On the Sidelines of Society
Estimates on the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. vary widely. Claims range anywhere from 4 million to 17 million. Each year more than a million legal immigrants enter the country in addition to around 3 millions illegal ones. Because of a number of difficulties there is no solid evidence these numbers are reliable. China is believed to be the largest source of illegal immigrant trafficking. Aliens from here will often spend short periods…

Age Differences in Sexual Partners and Risk of HIV-1 Infection in Rural Uganda

Lucky money for little brother
Although many Chinese residents acknowledge victimization and extortion of businesses by Asian youth gangs, there is little evidence with which to estimate the seriousness and prevalence of the problem, the number or types of businesses affected, the extent of monetary loss, or the prevalence of violence that business owners may endure. This study presents estimates of the rates of extortion and other forms of victimization based on interviews wi…

The dispossessed
Domestic terrorism in the United States is not a phenomenon limited to alien groups at odds with United States foreign policy. The country has bred its own desperate groups who see themselves as victims of political forces that are in profound conflict with traditional cultures and values of rural America. In general, the militia movement is a violent, racist, revolutionary surge aimed at creating an alternative society in which government is dec…

Political Correctness and Multiculturalism
JVhat is the nature and content of political correctness and multiculturalism? Are both these movements solely products of left-wing politics masquerading as an effort to create more racial, sexual, ethnic, and religious diversity throughout social institutions in the name of fairness and equity or are these movements addressing legitimate concerns about tolerance and equality? JVhat of right-wing allegations that information used by proponents o…

Psycho-Social Impacts of Terrorism and Organized Crime
Notes1 The phrase, "the counterfinality of the practico-inert" is from Sartre with reference to implications of modern technology as a shorthand for that enormous properly human and anti-natural power of dead human labor stored up in our machinery - an alienated power, which turns back on and against us in unrecognizable forms and can symbolize the massive dystopian horizon of organized crime as wen as individual terrorist praxis (Jean-Paul Sartr…
From pistols to ploughshares
One of the worst political injustices of the twentieth century may be ending: the armed struggle in Northern Ireland. We explore the stereotypes of terror and counterterror that have affected international thinking about the problem. In the Irish case, the argument is that both terror and nationalism are narrations: that the notion of terror is an ‘'essentialization,’’ a dehistoricized and decontextualized phenomenon upon which counter‐terrorism …

Political deviance and the assumption of responsibility
Political deviance is a broad concept, less frequently invoked than the concept of political crime. It can be perpetrated by those in power, in the name of the state or individually, or by those struggling to effect social change. The focus on the latter brings to the fore two types of movements, terrorism and civil disobedience, with their partial similarities in goals and their apparent dissimilarities in the means employed to achieve these goa…
Death anxiety, religious convictions about the afterlife, and the psychotherapist
This article assumes that the content of an individual's religious convictions about the afterlife may increase or decrease death anxiety. Examples of religious beliefs from the Judaeo-Christian tradition are grouped according to their potential effect on death anxiety levels. A rationale is then presented to enable therapists to recognize issues that are involved in this counseling process. The presentation of a cognitive-behavioral approach for…
Responsibility and Crime in Literature
Accountability for one's actions has been a major theme that literary artists have grappled with over the centuries. Among the works in which it plays a significant role, and which are here analyzed, are the Oedipus trilogy, Hamlet, The Brothers Karamazov, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Trial, The Stranger, and three twentieth-century American novels: An American Tragedy, Light in August, and Native Son. Insights into the dark recesses of the human…
Field research among deviants
Apart from the ethical, moral, and legal problems that beset the study of individuals in their natural settings, investigations of various kinds of criminal conduct engender special difficulties and snares that set limits on the scope of the research effort and the reliability of findings

Organized Crime
Deviance
The concept of deviance is obscured because of the confusion between two types of definitions, one that describes the boundaries in general terms, and the other that cites examples. Of the former, there is little dispute. But the latter involves changes over time, within different societies, the degree of negative reaction invoked, and other factors. For the latter type of definition, the societal reaction approach is said to be not only useful, …

Global Self‐Evaluation and Changes to Self‐Description as a Function of Information Discrepancy and Favorability
In three studies we attempted to account for differences in high and low self‐confidence subjects’ acceptance of favorable and unfavorable self‐relevant statements At issue was whether acceptance was determined only by the degree of discrepancy with people's initial beliefs, about those specific statements or also by the discrepancy with their general level of confidence In Studies 1 and 2 subjects were given a personality description containing …

Collateral damage on the home front
Combat casualties in the Persian Gulf War among Coalition troops were by all estimates miraculously low. However, the fallout of the war for many groups on the home front may have been more pernicious in the long term than expected or estimated. This paper sketches some of the consequences of the Persian Gulf War for racial and ethnic minorities in the military, the less tangible and visible affects on the young, and the exacerbation of tensions …
Galvanizing Indiscriminate Political Violence
In this paper the role of ideological thinking in shaping the mind-set and motivations of terrorists is examined. How do terrorist protect themselves emotionally from the consequences of gratuitous, indiscriminate violence? How do ideologies help to mold the conceptual and cognitive processes that give sense to terrorist models of the world? This paper explores these psycho-social processes and seeks to show that participation in terrorism involv…
