Straffälligenhilfe ist ein Bereich in der Behandlung von sogenannten Rand- und Risikogruppen. So ist es Haupt- wie auch Schnittstellenthema in vielen psychosozialen Settings.Die Kenntnis psychologischer Konzepte und Erklärungsansätze von Straffälligkeit und Rückfallvermeidung ist für Fachkräfte unerlässlich. Im vorliegenden Band werden ausgehend von Fallbeispielen relevante Erkenntnisse der Psychologie zur Erklärung von Straffälligkeit sowie daraus abgeleitete Interventionsformen behandelt. Dies liefert Praktiker_innen konkrete Hinweise für den Umgang mit Straffälligen. Dazu zählen unter anderem der Aufbau einer gelingenden Arbeitsbeziehung, die Behandlung individueller Risiken und auch die Ressourcenarbeit, um so einen Ausstieg aus der Kriminalität zu erleichtern
"By the end of 2022, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide had reached a record high of 100 million, the highest figure since the Second World War. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Taliban political takeover in Afghanistan exacerbated an already protracted global refugee situation, but climate-related events also played a part in forcing millions of people to leave their homes in search of more habitable living areas. Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migration in the Global South provides fresh understandings of mobility flows, transnational linkages, and the politics of migration across the Global South, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Moving away from North-South, East-West binaries and challenging the conception that migratory movements are primarily unidirectional-from South to North-it explores how state policies, migrants' trajectories, nationalism and discrimination, and art and knowledge production unfold in places as widespread as Egypt, Turkey, Myanmar, Nicaragua, and Haiti. Seventeen academics, activists, and artists from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies, ethnomusicology, and international relations reveal the diverse narratives, migration patterns, forms of agency, and laws that make up the complex reality of South-South migration, offering vital new pathways for research in migration studies today."
"In the last decade, we have witnessed the return of one of the most controversial terms in the political lexicon: totalitarianism. What are we talking about when we define a totalitarian political and social situation? When did we start using the word as both adjective and noun? And, what totalitarian ghosts haunt the present? Philosopher Simona Forti seeks to answer these questions by reconstructing not only the genealogy of the concept, but also by clarifying its motives, misunderstandings, and the controversies that have animated its current resurgence. Taking into account political theories and historical discussions, Totalitarianism especially focuses on philosophical reflections, from the question of totalitarian biopolitics to the alleged totalitarian drifts of neoliberalism. The work invites the relentless formulation of a radical question about democratic age: the possibilities it has opened up, the voids it leaves behind, the mechanisms it activates, and the "voluntary servitude" it produces. Forti argues that totalitarianism cannot be considered an external threat to democracy, but rather, one of the possible answers to those questions posed by modernity which democracies have not been able to solve. Her investigation of the uses and abuses of totalitarianism as one of the fundamental categories of 20th and 21st centuries promises to provoke much-needed discussion and debate among those in philosophy, politics, ethics, and beyond"--
"In examining the 416 units of the U.S. National Park System (NPS), geographers Joe Weber and Selima Sultana focus attention on the historical geography of the system as well as its present distribution. Their discussion covers the entire range of places under the control of the NPS-not just the famous National Parks such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, but also National Monuments, Memorials, Lakeshores, Seashores, Rivers, Recreation Areas, Preserves, Reserves, Parkways, Historic Sites, Historic Parks, and a range of battlefields, including National Military Park, Battlefield Park, Battlefield Site, and Battlefield, as well as more than 20 additional sites not fitting into any of these categories (such as the White House). The book discusses how these units differ from other places, such as national forests administered by the US Forest Service, wildlife refuges administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service, and wilderness areas found in all these areas designated by Congress. Towards the end the authors also broaden the scope to examine protected places at more local scales as well as internationally. The geographic view of this project sets it apart from others that have taken a solely historical approach. Where parks are located, what they are near, where their visitors come from, and how land uses and activities are organized within parks are fundamental issues discussed. Further, it examines the full range of the NPS, not just the large nature parks such as Yellowstone that often receive the greatest attention. The majority of units in the NPS are actually devoted to battlefields, historical events, archaeological sites, or people, and this is reflected in the authors' approach. While each unit is unique, they share the common imprint of NPS management, and many were developed during periods when particular management philosophies were dominant. The book also emphasizes changing social and political environments in which NPS units were created and the roles they serve, such as protecting scenery, providing wildlife habitats, preserving history, and serving as scientific laboratories and places for outdoor recreation. What we think of as a national park has changed over the years and will continue to change. The authors also focus on parks as public facilities and sites of economic activities. These park units were created by people for people to enjoy, at great cost and with great benefit. They cannot be understood without taking this human context into account"--
"Network research has recently been adopted as one of the tools of the trade in archaeology, used to study a wide range of topics: interactions between island communities, movements through urban spaces, visibility in past landscapes, material culture similarity, exchange, and much more. This Oxford Handbook is the first authoritative reference work for archaeological network research, featuring current topical trends and covering the archaeological application of network methods and theories. This is elaborately demonstrated through substantive topics and case studies drawn from a breadth of periods and cultures in world archaeology. It highlights and further develops the unique contributions made by archaeological research to network science, especially concerning the development of spatial and material culture network methods and approaches to studying long-term network change. This is the go-to resource for students and scholars wishing to explore how network science can be applied in archaeology through an up-to-date overview of the field"--
"Nearly every aspect of our lives is measured, ranked, and turned into data that computers use to make predictions about our trustworthiness, purchasing power, even political views. The Ordinal Society shows how these predictions structure life chances, producing a hollow morality that recycles familiar structures of social advantage into merit."--
