Emotions in context: the marginalisation and persistence of emotional labour in probation
Full text linkIn this chapter we explore and synthesise the limited extant research on the performance of
emotional labour by probation practitioners. We explore the history of emotions in probation
at both the level of policy and practice, arguing that whilst emotion management has always
been a core facet of probation work its importance has not been fully acknowledged. Indeed,
we argue that recent years has seen a marked marginalisation of emotions in policy terms due
to the changing nature of what probation is ‘for’ and how its main purpose- the rehabilitative
endeavour – is legitimated in late modernity. We then provide an overview of the – albeit
limited – recent research which has explored probation practice through the lens of emotional
labour, exploring what emotions are managed, to what end and how this impacts on probation
workers
Network development in biological gels: role in lymphatic vessel development
Full text linkIn this paper, we present a model that explains the prepatterning of lymphatic vessel morphology in collagen gels. This model is derived using the theory of two phase rubber material due to Flory and coworkers and it consists of two coupled fourth order partial differential equations describing the evolution of the collagen volume fraction, and the evolution of the proton concentration in a collagen implant; as described in experiments of Boardman and Swartz (Circ. Res. 92, 801–808, 2003). Using linear stability analysis, we find that above a critical level of proton concentration, spatial patterns form due to small perturbations in the initially uniform steady state. Using a long wavelength reduction, we can reduce the two coupled partial differential equations to one fourth order equation that is very similar to the Cahn–Hilliard equation; however, it has more complex nonlinearities and degeneracies. We present the results of numerical simulations and discuss the biological implications of our model
Conclusion: What do we now know about emotional labour in criminal justice? Culture, context and conflict
Full text linkIn this concluding chapter we reflect on some of the key things that have cut across many of
the chapters contained in this volume. We argue that one can only understand the
performance of emotional labour when the particular context and culture is taken into
account. Another common theme was the nature of the conflict between display rules which
shapes much emotional labour across the field of criminal justice and criminology. We finish
by reflecting on some implications in terms of how organisations can best support workers
with the emotional demands of their jobs as well as some ideas on future research that could
be carried out in this area
Introduction: why study emotional labour in criminal justice and criminology
Full text linkOverall, this edited collection seeks to consolidate and extend our knowledge on emotional
labour in criminal justice and criminology. In this chapter we begin by providing an overview
of the concept of emotional labour and provide some examples of how it has been deployed
in academic research. In doing so we touch on key terms such as surface and deep acting, and
display rules and briefly go over what evidence exists on the impact of emotional labour on
people who perform it as part of their role. The concept has been used less widely in the field
of criminal justice and criminology and so we also begin to think about why we – as
criminologists - should study emotional labour. We argue that it provides a lens with which to
examine an array of issues that are directly relevant and pertinent to criminal justice work and
finish with a brief overview of the chapters contained within the volum

Doing criminological research: An emotional labour perspective
No full textWhen it comes to emotional labour in the field of criminology, much of the focus has been on the criminal justice professions. However, it is also the case that the research of criminal justice and criminal justice engaged populations demands a high degree of emotion management. Criminological researchers can be exposed to potentially distressing accounts of people’s experiences and put in potentially emotionally charged environments. This chapter therefore explores the emotional labour undertaken by criminological researchers engaged in empirical research. Divided into two parts, the first part of the chapter identifies extant research on the ways in which qualitative criminological researchers manage their emotions in order to do research, with a focus on gaining access, collecting data and exiting the field. The second part of the chapter is a case study which presents the analysis of 30 interviews with criminological researchers to identify the main ways in which criminological research requires the use of emotional labour. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how researchers can ameliorate the negative consequences of emotional labour in their research and how institutions can support staff in their work. This is particularly important for early career researchers and when we think about the role of research in the context of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and other structural pressures which researchers face
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
