Evaluation of Humberside Serious & Organised Crime Community Coordinator (SOC CC)
No full textIntroduction:The principal purpose of this project was to evaluate the Serious and Organised Crime Community Coordinator (SOC CC) in Grimsby and Hull. The Home Office’s SOC CC project has aimed to bring together all the existing support of the state (and third sector) to deliver, at the local level, tailored and holistic response to organised crime groups (OCGs). The main purpose is to support targeted local communities to raise awareness, resilience and pull vulnerable subjects away from criminal exploitation, producing an evaluation of the impact of this pilot project (Home Office, 2019), and to increase the ability to divert individuals at risk of SOC involvement

The politics of prison crowding ::a critical analysis of the Italian prison system /
No full text"The Politics of Prison Crowding investigates recent transformations in Italy's penal system to make the key analytical observation that conditions of overcrowding have become the 'new normal' under which the modern prison system continues to operate and deliver punishment. Engaging with the politics of crowding thus entails a direct and pertinent engagement with the modern state's politics of criminal justice and social control. Worldwide over the last decades, a growing number of jurisdictions have prison systems operating above or to the limit of their capacity, yet little attention has been paid to these elements in the analysis of prison politics and day-to-day function. By exploring the crowding issue, this book offers an original and interesting insight into the politics and dynamics characterising contemporary prison systems. The hypothesis of this study is that the politics of prison crowding have become the template for the daily administration of the prison system, which incorporates not just policy and rules but day-to-day functions and practices regulating life behind bars. Through interviews in modern Italian prisons, the book brings to light a radical redefinition of a carceral system that harshens the delivery of punishment while justifying this exacerbation of pain by adding new bureaucratic logic to the administration of the penal system within a narrative of compliance to human rights standards. By shedding new light on prison politics to open new critical perspectives and research paths, The Politics of Prison Crowding offers a fundamental tool to scholars, students and all professional policymakers and practitioners dealing with prison policies and the politics of justice"-
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Pesquisando boas práticas para além da prisão. Desinstitucionalização dos hospitais psiquiátricos e abolição da escravatura: o que funciona?
No full textAbstract: In this article, my purpose is to frame and analyse two experiences of dismantling oppressive institutions to have a better understanding of the possible and effective prison abolitionism praxis. For that purpose, I will consider two specific historical episodes: the deinstitutionalization of mental hospital in Italy and the slavery abolition in US. Those will be constructed as both historical and political model to drivethrough the abolition of prison. In the article, I will discuss the tension between the end of an institution and its potential clawback, underlining the necessity of a positive plan to overcome unjust and oppressive institutions. In essence, abolitionism is read in this article as a broad critique to the society (Davis, 2000), thus the closure in and of itself is part of a larger plan to create a more just society (Ben-Moshe, 2013). The aim is to address what I consider one of the key issues to bring the abolitionism from a theoretical field to a political praxis, namely the necessity to define a path to let the prison abolition get real.Resumo: Neste artigo pretendo enquadrar e analisar experiências de desmantelamento de duas instituições de opressão com o objetivo de compreender melhor práticas possíveis e eficazes de abolicionismo prisional. Para esse fim, terei em conta dois episódios históricos específicos: a desinstitucionalização dos hospitais psiquiátricos na Itália e a abolição da escravidão nos EUA. Esses dois episódios serão discutidos enquanto modelos político-históricos condutores da abolição da prisão. Argumentarei a tensão entre o fim de uma instituição e sua permanência simbólica e ideológica, ressaltando a relevância de um plano positivo para suplantar instituições injustas e opressivas. Em essência, o abolicionismo é tratado neste artigo como uma ampla crítica à sociedade (Davis, 2000) e, consequentemente, a demanda por superação das prisões integra, por si, um plano maior de construção de uma sociedade mais justa (Ben-Moshe, 2013). O objetivo é pontuar o que considero uma das questões-chave para a condução do abolicionismo desde um campo teórico para uma práxis política, a saber, o imperativo de definir um caminho que transforme em realidade a abolição da prisão.Keywords: Prison abolition – Deinstitutionalisation – Anti-psychiatry movement – Social justice – Carceral clawback.Palavras-chave: Abolição da prisão – Desinstitucionalização – Movimento antipsiquiátrico – Justiça social – Carceral clawback
