Glacial geomorphology of the Enguri River headwaters, Georgian Caucasus
Glacial geomorphological mapping is essential for understanding the present-day landscape shaped by glaciers and for reconstructing the history of past glacial changes. Integrating field observations with remote sensing data is crucial for multidisciplinary approaches in glacial geomorphology. This study presents a high-resolution (1:33,000) glacial geomorphological map of the Enguri River headwaters (∼358 km2) in the Georgian Caucasus Mountains …
Convict Criminology and the Struggle for Inclusion
Convict Criminology
Convict criminology is a theoretical perspective in criminology and a collective of affiliated authors. Ex‐convict professors that merge their first‐hand experience with prisons with their academic training to conduct research and publish together lead the group. First organized in the United States, the “convict criminology group” now includes members from many other countries.
Prison Research From the Inside: The Role of Convict Autoethnography
A perspective that has often been absent in criminal justice research is that of former prisoners. This article discusses the establishment, in 1997, of "convict criminology," a group of scholars producing research informed by their experiences of crime and the criminal justice process; that is, either those who have served time themselves or who have operated alongside prisoners as professionals in custodial settings. It is argued that such scho…
Knocking on the Ivory Tower's Door: The Experience of Ex‐Convicts Applying for Tenure‐Track University Positions
This article reports the results of an investigation involving a select number of former prisoners with completed PhDs, who applied for work as tenure-track criminology/criminal justice professors. It attempts to place into context the literature on ex-convicts’ employment, the hiring process at academic institutions, and the experiences of ex-convicts with PhDs competing for academic jobs at colleges and universities. The findings are based on t…
Thinking About Prison Release and Budget Crisis in the Blue Grass State
Kentucky's Perpetual Prisoner Machine: It's about Money1
Kentucky is currently facing a severe budget crisis and is seeking ways to lower its prison and community corrections costs. This article focuses on our study of the prison and parole experience of men and women in Kentucky. What we found is a virtual "perpetual incarceration machine" where prisoners are recycled from prison to parole and back to prison. The following discussion includes: Kentucky's prison population continues to grow, parole fai…
Women in Prison: Gender and Social Control
It is old news that the conditions and policies of women's prisons are different from those of incarcerated men. Less evident, however, is how gender differences shape those policies, and how gender identity and roles shape women's adaptation and resistance to prison culture and control. Women in Prison explores how the gender-based attitudes that women bring to prison frame how they respond to the prison environment—and how gender stereotypes co…
Coping with Separation: Adaptive Responses of Women Prisoners
This study is a descriptive analysis of the adaptation responses of inmates at a correctional institution for women located in the midwest of the United States. Data for the study were collected and analyzed using a qualitative methodological approach. This investigation extends the literature on women prisoners by examining the inmates' perceptions of the deprivations of incarceration; how inmates respond to the deprivations of incarceration; an…
Ambivalent Actions: Prison Adaptation Strategies of First-Time, Short-Term Inmates
A person who is incarcerated for the first time becomes a "prisoner" but does not automatically acquire a meaningful status within the prison world. If the incarceration is short term, the person is unlikely to ever achieve a significant prison status because participation in the prison world will be inhibited by identification with the outside world. This condition of social marginality results in an ambivalence that directly shapes inmates' str…
Suspended Identity: Identity Transformation in a Maximum Security Prison
This article presents an empirically-grounded model of identity transformation that differs both from the gradual transformation processes that characterize most adult identity changes and from such radical transformation processes as brainwashing or conversion. Data for the study are derived from participant observation and focused interviews with first-time, short-term inmates at a maximum security prison. By attempting to suspend their prepris…

The social world of karate-do
Five related themes in the social and cultural aspects of contemporary karate-do are examined: 1. the development of karate in Okinawa and Japan and its subsequent growth in the UK, 2. the ‘value-structure’ of karate — how novices are socialized into the ‘karate-way’ (karate-do) in one particular North Wales club, 3. ideological aspects of the value system in karate, 4. the social organization of karate, particularly the interpersonal dynamic of …
