  • You have to be fluid’. Exploring the applicability of prison officer types to the Irish Prison Service

    Open AccessSinéad Meade, Michael Butler et al.ARTICLEPunishment & Society2026

    This study explores Irish prison officers’ views on the applicability of existing prison officer typologies to the Irish Prison Service. A thematic analysis of data from semi-structured interviews with 24 Irish prison officers indicated that while participants felt some typologies could reflect how officers approached their work, prison officer types were conceptualised as representing different dimensions of doing prison work, which officers cou…

  • The City, The Highway and the Spatial Level

    Michael Butler, Misty L ButlerARTICLETechné Research in Philosophy and…2025

    I argue that mobile navigation apps, like Google Maps, alienate us from our lived environments. I phenomenologically contrast the experience of moving through an unfamiliar city on foot with driving through one with the aid of a mobile navigation app. This comparison reveals that movement possesses a developmental character: to move through space is to learn how to respond to the environments we encounter, simultaneously developing our sense of o…

  • Mental health and sentencing

    Open AccessGeorge Baldwin, Samantha Young et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Law and…2025

    In England and Wales, s.45A of the Mental Health Act 1983 allows a judge to pass a sentence including both an immediate direction to hospital as well as a punitive custodial element. R v Vowles provides four specific considerations for judges to attend to when considering such sentences (referred to as the 'Vowles statements'). The section, however, remains infrequently used. The present study adopted an online experimental methodology to explore…

  • Critical Essay

    Open AccessMichael Butler, Michael JR Butler et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2017Cited by: 2References: 72

    In this critical essay, we respond to Lindebaum’s argument that neuroscientific methodologies and data have been accepted prematurely in proposing novel management theory. We acknowledge that building new management theories requires firm foundations. We also find his distinction between demand and supply-side forces helpful as an analytical framework identifying the momentum for the contemporary production of management theory. Nevertheless, som…

  • Exploring Innovation in Policy-making within Central Government

    Open AccessMichael Butler, Michael J R Butler et al.ARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration2010References: 12

    The first and main contribution of this article is its access to the decision-making processes which drive innovation in policy-making within central government. The article will present a detailed case history of how the innovation came about and conclude by highlighting analytic possibilities for future research. The policy in focus is the UK’s Traffic Management Act 2004, which passed responsibility for managing incidents on major roads from t…

  • The fallacy of integration

    Open AccessSimon Wilson, Michael Butler et al.ARTICLEWomen in Management Review2004

    Many organisations are encouraging their staff to integrate work and non‐work, but a qualitative study of young professionals found that many crave greater segregation rather than more integration. Most wished to build boundaries to separate the two and simplify a complex world. Where working practices render traditional boundaries of time and space ineffective, this population seems to create new idiosyncratic boundaries to segregate work from n…
