Pornography: Men Possessing Women

Although “social support” is present as a theme in many criminological writings, it has not been identified explicitly as a concept capable of organizing theory and research in criminology. Drawing on existing criminological and related writings, this address derives a series of propositions that form the foundation, in a preliminary way, for the “social support paradigm” of the study of crime and control. The overriding contention is that whether social support is delivered through government social programs, communities, social networks, families, interpersonal relations, or agents of the criminal justice system, it reduces criminal involvement. Further, I contend that insofar as the social support paradigm proves to be “Good Criminology”—establishing that nonsupportive policies and conditions are criminogenic—it can provide grounds for creating a more supportive, “Good Society.”

Social support as an organizing concept for criminology: Presidential address to the academy of criminal justice sciences

The Real Worlds of Welfare Capitalism traces how individuals fare over time in each of the three principal types of welfare state. Through a unique analysis of panel data from Germany, the Netherlands and the US, tracking individuals' socio-economic fate over fully ten years, Goodin, Headey, Muffels and Dirven explore issues of economic growth and efficiency, of poverty and inequality, of social integration and social autonomy. It is common to talk of the inevitability of tradeoffs between these goals. However, in this book the authors contend that the social democratic welfare regime, represented here by the Netherlands, equals or exceeds the performance of the corporatist German regime and the liberal US regime across all these social and economic objectives. They thus argue that, whatever one's priorities, the social democratic welfare regime is uniquely well-suited to realizing them.

Inside rumor: A personal journey.

Inspired by their Progressive Era faith in social science solutions to society's problems, the residents of Hull-House collaborated on this work of sociology based on their experiences as residents of Chicago's Near West Side. The contributors to this book believed that an enlightened citizenry could be mobilized for reform, and that by publishing maps with explicit information about the wages and conditions of the working poor in Chicago's Nineteenth Ward they would educate the public and inspire reforms. In addition to Jane Addams's own prefatory note and paper on the role of social settlements in the labour movement, contributors provided detailed, real-world analyses of the Chicago Jewish ghetto, garment workers and the sweatshops, child labour, immigrant neighbourhoods in the vicinity of Hull-House, and local charities. This edition also contains eight colour reproductions of the original Hull-House neighbourhood maps. The year 2006 marks the one hundred and eleventh anniversary of the publication of "Hull-House Maps and Papers", and the volume remains a dramatic statement about the residents' shared values as well as a major influence on subsequent social surveys.
