Denying Responsibility
he reasons for dramatic rises in prison populations are the focus of much debate. This paper examines just one of these: the sentencing practices of the judiciary who play a pivotal role both in determining the use of imprisonment itself and in the severity of prison sentences. Drawing on research with Scottish sentencers, it explores how they made decisions to imprison, how they viewed prison, how they justified sending people there and how ‘bor…
Is Thirty the New Sixty? Dating, Age and Gender in a Postmodern, Consumer Society
Based on a content analysis of 1094 advertisements, the article extends the author's previous research on dating by examining how age and gender intersect to influence the age at which people advertise, their choice of partner and how they manage aspects of their age identity. Locating analyses in the context of a postmodern, consumer culture, it shows that young men and older women are most likely to advertise. It reveals that the maintenance of…
Marketing Molly and Melville
Based on a content analysis of a hundred heterosexual dating advertisements, the paper, in part, seeks to build upon the findings of previous research emerging mainly from the disciplines of sociobiology and psychology, which shows that when selling the self, men market their financial and occupational resources, whereas women offer physical attractiveness and appealing body shape, consistent with traditional `sex-role' stereotypes and mating sel…
Marketing the Self, Buying an Other
This paper provides a content analysis of 1094 dating advertisements. It seeks, in part, to test results of previous research emanating mainly from the disciplines of psychology and sociobiology, which shows that men offer financial and occupational attributes and seek physical attractiveness in partners whereas women offer physical attractiveness and seek resource and status attributes, consistent with traditional `sex-role' stereotypes and mati…
Ambiguities in Decision Making
This paper examines how social workers make decisions about which cases of ‘glue-sniffing’ require intervention, in the context of a government policy which construes the problem primarily within the arena of parental responsibility. Using data from interviews with social workers and research on ‘glue-sniffing’, it shows that social workers were frequently reluctant to deal with cases. It explains that this has to do with factors such as organiza…
The Production of Official Discourse on 'Glue-Sniffing
Using a form of discourse analysis of various government texts, this article examines the way in which central government in Scotland formulated its response to the problem of 'glue-sniffing'. Drawing on a theoretical framework developed by Foucault, it traces the links between professional knowledge, political programmes and parents' desires. It describes the discursive manoeuvres government deployed in constituting parents as primarily responsi…
The Policing of Glue-Sniffing
This article examines the implications for police practices of central government's policy which constitutes parents as primarily responsible for ‘glue-sniffing’. Using data from interviews with families and the police, as well as other research on glue-sniffing, I examine how this policy affects the latter's decision-making activities and, thereby, the consequences these have for parents presenting with their glue-sniffing children. It shows tha…
