International audience ; Based on the French translation of a book by Peter Winch, this article reassesses the tendency in political science – and, more broadly, in the social sciences – to adopt the naturalistic view that the phenomena those sciences explore exist independently of the viewpoints of members of society involved in their production. In this sense, the contrasting positions taken by Bruno Latour and Pierre Favre, published in issues 58 (4) and (5) of the RFSP, turn out to be similar : both posit that what is and is not political can be determined without reference to specific practices. ; À partir de la publication de la traduction française d'un ouvrage de Peter Winch, l'article revient sur la tendance de la science politique et, plus largement, des sciences sociales à adopter le point de vue naturaliste selon lequel les phénomènes dont elles traitent existeraient indépendamment du point de vue des membres de la société engagés dans leur production. En ce sens, les positions opposées de Bruno Latour et de Pierre Favre, publiées dans les numéros 58 (4) et (5) de la RFSP, s'avèrent semblables : elles postulent que l'on peut déterminer ce qui est et n'est pas politique de manière externe à des pratiques précises.

Science blogs have become an increasingly important component of the ecosystem of science news on the Internet. Through a survey of 2,955 readers of 40 randomly selected science blogs, we created profiles of science blog users. Super users indicated reading science blogs for a wide range of reasons, including for community-seeking purposes. One-way entertainment users indicated reading blogs more for entertainment and ambiance. Unique information-seeking users indicated reading blogs more for specific information not found elsewhere. But regardless of science blog users' motivations to read, they are sophisticated consumers of science media possessing high levels of scientific knowledge.

Criminology is a unique field of study which purports to bring scientific knowledge to the world of crime and criminals. Tracing the intellectual origins of criminology to physiognomy, phrenology, and evolutionary theories, this book demonstrates criminology's background in new attitudes toward science and the development of scientific methodologies applicable to social and mental phenomena. The book brings together a collection of 19th-century texts from the key originators of the practice of criminology - selected, introduced, and with commentaries by the leading scholar in this area, Nicole
