The Ecology and Architecture of Enduring Spiritualities
Engaged spiritualities face a central challenge: how to transform moments of transcendence into enduring forms of shared life under modern conditions of pluralism, critique, and expressive individualism. This article asks what enables certain forms of spiritual life to last while others fade. It offers an emergentist, systems-theoretical account of how sacred life endures by viewing religion as a self-organizing symbolic system in which meaning a…
Transforming crime victims’ rights
Rights for crime victims have been decried as myths; entitlements that have little enforceability. At the same time, they have been criticised as undermining the legal rights of the accused person. In this Guest Editors Introduction to the Special Issue, Making Rights Real, we suggest that victims’ rights are in transition. Rights may be set out in legal instrument but, we argue, it is through the practices of people in their myriad settings that…

Rappaport, Revisited
In Ritual and Religion in the Making of Humanity , Roy Rappaport misses an opportunity to more tightly theorize the synergistic relationship between concepts of the divine, the psyches of ritual participants, and the adaptive dynamics of religious sociality. This paper proposes such a theory by drawing on implicit features of Rappaport’s account, fulfilling his goal of a “cybernetics of the holy.” I argue that concepts of the divine, when made au…
Debating the Death Penalty
When news breaks that a convicted murderer, released from prison, has killed again, or that an innocent person has escaped the death chamber in light of new DNA evidence, arguments about capital punishment inevitably heat up. Few controversies continue to stir as much emotion as this one, and public confusion is often the result. This volume brings together seven experts--judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and philosophers--to debate the death penalty…
Handcuffing the Cops? A Thirty-Year Perspective on Miranda's Harmful Effects on Law Enforcement
After the Supreme Court's 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona, critics charged that it would handcuff the cops. In this article, Professors Cassell and Fowles find this claim to be supported by FBI data on crime clearance rates. National crime clearance rates fell precipitously in the two years immediately after Miranda and have remained at lower levels in the decades since. Multiple regression analysis reveals that other possibly confounding fac…
