Remembering Hal Pepinsky
Hal Pepinsky was part of a generation of scholars—many who have passed away—who sought to redirect the criminological enterprise to unmask hidden sources of harm and to articulate a vision for reducing suffering in the world. Along with Richard Quinney and others, he was instrumental in calling for the invention of ‘peacemaking criminology’. This paper explores his role in creating a peacemaking approach and the specific contribution made by his …
The Virtuous Prison
Poverty and Peacemaking Criminology
Is rehabilitation dead? The myth of the punitive public
Racial and ethnic stereotypes in professional wrestling
Wrestling burst into the mainstream of television entertainment and sports in recent years. A distinctive feature is the obstrusive use of racial and ethnic stereotypes. Synthesizing insights from cultural anthropology, phenomenological sociology, and Marxist theory, the psychoanalytic tradition, this article proposes a theoretical explanation of why the stereotypes are so marketable
The Social Rejection of Former Mental Patients
Recent research shows that the crucial factor determining the rejection of former mental patients is their behavior rather than their stigmantized status. The study reported here, based on a vignette experiment (with a design that varies patient status with the nature of behavior), challenges this conclusion. Like previous research, it indicates that a simple assessment of labelings shows little effect on a social distance scale. However, when a …

The Impact of Social Supports on Police Stress
Utilizing a theoretical perspective (the “social supports model”) increasingly applied by stress researchers in other fields, the present endeavor explores whether social supports operate to shield officers from the stresses emanating from police work To investigate this issue, 91 suburban officers were administered a questionnaire that contained scales measuring four job‐related stressors, four types of social supports, and two forms of psycholo…
Consensus in Crime Seriousness
Miethe (1982) has recently argued that the consistent findings of wide‐spread consensus in the rankings of the seriousness of crimes may be more a rejection of the methodological approaches used by past researchers than of actual public sentiments. Building on Miethe's insights, this paper examines the extent to which the nature of the techniques employed to analyze data influences seriousness evaluations. The results indicate that consensus is a…
