Capital Punishment
What are the critical factors that determine whether a country replaces, retains or restores the death penalty? Why do some countries maintain the death penalty in theory but in reality rarely invoke it? By asking these questions, the editors hope to isolate the core issues that influence the formulation of legislation so that they can be incorporated into strategies for advising governments considering changes to their policy on capital punishme…
Who Wants to be a Social Engineer? A commentary on David Blunkett's Speech to the ESRC’
This article is a response to a speech addressed to the Economic and Social Research Council which was made, in February this year, by the UK Secretary of State for Education and Employment, David Blunkett. The speech was entitled ‘Influence or Irrelevance: can social science improve government?’ . Blunkett's programme for engaging social science in the policy process is far from unique and many of the arguments have been heard before. However, t…
The Sociology of Corruption - Some Themes and Issues
The subject of corruption in British public life has been neglected as an area of sociological research. The object of this paper is to begin to develop a theorisation of corruption by examining some basic conceptual and methodological issues. It will be argued that Britain is not necessarily experiencing a rise in corruption, but a change in its actual nature. This is characterised in terms of a move from 'primary' to 'secondary' corruption. By …
A cross‐cultural comparison of the self‐concepts of imprisoned young offenders by country, race, and parental status
The Tennessee Self‐Concept Scale (TSCS) was administered to 193 imprisoned male youthful offenders in a southern U.S. state and to 161 male young offenders in one of Her Majesty's young offender institutions in England. The purpose of the study was to determine if the self‐concept scores of the subjects differed significantly according to the subject's ethnicity (Country), whether the youth resided with one or both parents or separate from either…
Viewing the bodies following disaster
Increased substance use in survivors of the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster
Cross‐sectional data are reported on 73 survivors of the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster. Many reported an increase in their consumption of alcohol, cigarettes, sleeping tablets, antidepressants and tranquillizers at six and 30 months. The level of increased use was, however, lower at 30 months than at six months, although this was less evident for alcohol and cigarettes than the other substances. In addition, self‐reports of increased substan…
Coping With Catastrophe
History and the Sociology of Teacher Trade Unionism
When surveying the history of teacher trade unionism, Marx's dictum about history repeating itself, first as tragedy then as farce, readily comes to mind. The idea of learning from past mistakes is not one which has traditionally been heeded by the teachers' unions. Yet Hilda Kean's Challenging the State, a history of the lost socialist and feminist educational experience between 1900 and 1930, asks that they do just that. Coming at a time when t…
Educational Change
This article is concerned with theorising educational change. Working within a Marxist reproduction problematic, power and domination are theorised in terms of Social Forms—wage, state and civil‐forms—which are the product of capitalist social relations. Since these forms are a feature of the social formation, including the education system, a ‘translation effect’ between different levels of analysis can be identified. This approach entails recog…
Technological disaster-Survival and bereavement
Food security through seasonal stabilization
Responding to in‐patient suicide
A personal experience of in‐patient suicide is detailed, and the process of and problems encountered by the staff in working through the tragedy are described. The responses are examined from the standpoint of bereavement theory and bereaved family systems. Many similarities are noted to exist, particularly with the documented responses of spouse survivors of suicide. Staff reactions are considered in terms of their emotional content and the supp…
Abnormal grief — The problem of therapy
A mode of therapy for severe problems of abnormal grief has been described by several authors (Ramsay, 1976; Lieberman, 1978; Mawson et al. , 1981). This article reports the use of a cathartic therapy with a series of 10 clients with severe but clear‐cut grief problems. Three case histories are given and the process and components of therapy are discussed
