Over-Policed and Under-Protected: The Black Community and Legal Activism in London, 1965-1975
Following a call for workers from the Caribbean to come to Britain to rebuild the metropolis after the Second World War, the Black community in London grew considerably. Despite being British subjects by birth in a British colony, Black Britons experienced racism, violence and harsh policing. By the mid-1960s, inspired by Malcolm X and the Black Power movement, activists established legal services to promote the civil rights of Black people and t…

A poor woman's lawyer? Feminism, the labour movement, and working-class women's access to the law in England, 1890-1935
Women were excluded from both branches of the legal profession before the Sex Discrimination (Removal) Act 1919. Whilst campaigning for women's entry to the law was also part of wider efforts to make the law more accessible. Before and after the 1919 Act, middle-class women were able to offer legal support to working-class women, through feminist and trade unionist networks and the professions that were open to them—factory inspection and social …
Welfare and Social Policy in Britain since 1870: Essays in Honour of Jose Harris, ed. Lawrence Goldman
Jose Harris’s work on the intellectual history of welfare and the emergence of the welfare state has been immensely important for historians of modern Britain, revealing the processes by which ideas about society and welfare emerge and gain traction. Harris focused in particular on British idealism, as it emerged in the 1880s around philosophers such as T.H. Green at the University of Oxford, and its wider influence and impact in shifting social …

A Social History of Student Volunteering: Britain and Beyond, 1880–1980, by Georgina Brewis
Georgina Brewis’s study of volunteering by students in the long twentieth century is a very welcome, timely and engaging addition to both the history of education and the history of voluntary action. As Brewis points out, degree-possessing modern historians seem reluctant to examine the environment in which they themselves first gained their knowledge and skills. This may be, as Brewis suggests here, a result of the way in which being a student h…

All Human Life is There: The John Hilton Bureau of the News of the World and Advising the Public, 1942-1969
This article considers the role of the John Hilton Bureau newspaper advice service, which ran under the auspices of the News of the World between 1942 and the late 1960s. The Bureau merits attention from historians on account of the light it can shed on how ordinary Britons accessed the law, legal and other types of advice before and after the Legal Aid and Advice Act 1949. It also provides insight into how relationships between the state and ind…

Juvenile delinquency and the public sphere: Exploring local and national discourse in England, c . 1940–69
Official statistics would appear to show that there has been a dramatic and sustained rise in crime by the young since the Second World War. Youth crime became a consistent and potent theme in public discourse at the same time. This article explores the role of discourse around juvenile delinquency in England between 1940 and 1969, looking first at governmental responses to and national press reportage of youth crime. It then uses a case study of…

Indulging Our Gendered Selves? Sex Segregation by Field of Study in 44 Countries
Data from 44 societies are used to explore sex segregation by field of study. Contrary to accounts linking socioeconomic modernization to a "degendering" of public-sphere institutions, sex typing of curricular fields is stronger in more economically developed contexts. The authors argue that two cultural forces combine in advanced industrial societies to create a new sort of sex segregation regime. The first is gender-essentialist ideology, which…

It specifically examines the relationship between the settlement movement and the early juvenile courts by analysing the Inner London Juvenile Court, which sat at Toynbee Hall in the East End of London between 1929 and 1953. The settlements, which brought young graduates to deprived urban areas to undertake voluntary social work,…

Equal but Separate? A Cross-National Study of Sex Segregation in Higher Education
The contours and correlates of sex segregation in higher education are explored using data from twelve advanced industrialized countries. Tertiary sex segregation is examined across two dimensions: field of study (horizontal segregation) and tertiary level (vertical segregation). The authors argue that the different aspects of female status in higher education (e.g., overall enrollments, representation at the postgraduate level, and representatio…
The Management and Production of Risk in Romantic Relationships: A Postmodern Paradox
Expanding on the work of Ulrich Beck and other social theorists, the central thesis of this article is that individuals in contemporary North American society are increasingly motivated by the need to alleviate expanding levels of perceived risks associated with interpersonal love relationships and mate selection. In response to these perceived risks, men and women today are altering their relationship patterns in such a way that the process of r…

The Incorporation of Women into Higher Education: Paradoxical Outcomes
Unlike the extensive cross-national research on occupational sex segregation, sex segregation within higher education has yet to be empirically examined comparatively. This article reports analyses for a wide range of countries from 1965 through 1990, using two measures of gender differentiation by field of study. The results indicate that gender differentiation has declined surprisingly little. Women are more likely to graduate from education, a…
The Globalization of Women's Status: Consensus/Dissensus in the World Polity
The amount of attention devoted to women and women's issues has increased dramatically in the last five decades throughout the world. In this article we examine the cultural construction of women that guided such action by analyzing texts that were produced and activities that were undertaken in relation to women by international organizations from 1945 through 1995. We show that the modernist principles of universalism, liberal individualism, an…
Toward an Integration of Theory and Research on the Status of Women
This article develops an approach to cross-national research on the status of women that merges theoretical and methodological concerns.

The article differentiates between a public and a private domain within each dimension. To understand and compare the status of women in different countries, it is argued that it is imper…

The Doukhobors in Canada - Conflict and Social Change, 1900-1976
The present study will document the number of acts of violence carried out by the Doukhobors in Canada during the period 1900-1976 as well as assess the influence of two potentially important causal factors: (i) leadership style and (ii) stress and strain on the incidence of violence. While a great deal has been written on the Doukhobors, much of the material is of a “sensational” variety and lacks any serious analytical framework. Few researcher…
