Is the number of fast-food outlets in the neighbourhood related to screen-detected type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors
Objective We investigated whether a higher number of fast-food outlets in an individual’s home neighbourhood is associated with increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and related risk factors, including obesity. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Three UK-based diabetes screening studies (one general population, two high-risk populations) conducted between 2004 and 2011. The primary outcome was screen-detected type 2 diabetes. Second…
A Certain Moment
The paper's point of departure is the residential care of children—and especially girls and young women—during the 1950s. The approach of what was then known as The Church of England Children's Society is reviewed in light of its origins in Victorian philanthropy, and this is linked to the author's memories of the life of a person responsible for running one of the Society's homes. Her working life stretched from when the Society's founder was st…
Truths” and “Re‐Imaging” in the Reconciliation Process
Young People, Crime and School Exclusion
During the 1990s the number of young people being permanently excluded from schools in England and Wales increased dramatically from 2,910 (1990/91) to a peak of 12,700 (1996/97). Coinciding with this rise was a resurgence of the debate centring on lawless and delinquent youth. With the publication of Young People and Crime ( Graham and Bowling 1995 ) and Misspent Youth ( Audit Commission 1996 ) the ‘common sense assumption’ that exclusion from s…
National Standards for the Probation Service
The debate surrounding post‐Fordism was focused primarily on changes in the ‘late industrial’ technology of work and the new social relations of production with which this is associated. This analysis has rarely reached into the domain of punishment and discipline, which is perhaps surprising given the historical demonstration of an ‘elective affinity’ between the nature of work regimes and the form of discipline to which offenders are subject. I…
Masculinised Discourses within Education and the Construction of Black Male Identities amongst African Caribbean Youth
Boys in general, and Black boys in particular, are being excluded from school in ever increasing and disproportionate numbers, drawing attention to the need for a closer examination of the interrelationship between 'race' and gender. Clearly, young Black masculinities are not expressed in isolation, but are, amongst other influences, informed and shaped by school processes. Within schools, the ways in which masculinities are portrayed plays a maj…
A `Revenge' on Modern Times
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) results from cerebral damage caused by a blow to the head, for example in a road traffic accident. The frequency of TBI means that it has been characterised as the silent epidemic of modern times. The majority of those who are head-injured are young men. This paper argues that the social reaction to head injury is testament to the latent eugenicist and mentalist suppositions within modernity. The brain-damaged person …
The Employment of 1970 Sociology Graduates
As part of an enquiry into the employment of sociology graduates, a preliminary questionnaire was sent out to all students graduating with a first degree in sociology in 1970. This brief questionnaire has provided information on the broad post-graduation categories entered by the graduates which allows a comparison to be made with similar data obtained by Banks in 1952 and Abbott in 1966. Preceding a discussion of the replies given by the graduat…
