TL;DR: The career is defined as "the moving perspective in which the person sees his life as a whole and interprets the meaning of his various attributes, actions, and the things which happen to him" as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: the term “career,” which is of French origin, originally meant carriage road or racing track. Today it is primarily used to connote profession or occupation, especially that which carries the possibility of promotion. The term thus concerns either a profession or the progress in a person’s working or professional life. Sociologically, the career concept has been used in organizational analyses of structures and changes, in studies related to individual career choices and strategies, and in works which combine the structural and subjective perspectives (Evetts, 1992). Sociologist Everett C. Hughes is said to have introduced the career concept to the Chicago School (Kempf, 1987). For Hughes, the career is “the moving perspective in which the person sees his life as a whole and interprets the meaning of his various attributes, actions, and the things which happen to him” (Hughes, 1937, pp. 409–10). The career thus becomes the subjective interpretation of one’s relation to and placement in society. Interpretations change over time just as a subject’s life does, and encompass not only paid work or professional activities, but all the endeavors a person is occupied with. The term “career” was, however, used in criminological studies at the Chicago School before Hughes defined and described it as cited above. In 1930 and 1931 Clifford R. Shaw published, respectively, The Jack-Roller and The Natural History of a Delinquent Career, both of which used the term “career” to describe the criminal histories of single individuals derived from case studies. Shaw does not define the career term but uses it to describe both the actual activities in which his subject is engaged and the developmental

TL;DR: In this article, the author versteht sich als eine Weiterentwicklung meiner Uberlegungen uber die Frauenkriminalitat zu der Differenzierung der sozialen Kontrolle and uber die Kriminologie von Frauens.
Abstract: Dieser Text versteht sich als eine Weiterentwicklung meiner Uberlegungen uber die Frauenkriminalitat zu der Differenzierung der sozialen Kontrolle und uber die Kriminologie von Frauen. Habe ich im ersten Beitrag festgestellt, das das Strafrecht ein Instrument ist, das nicht nur eine schichtspezifische, sondern auch eine geschlechtsspezifische Orientierung aufweist, so hat die Analyse des Verhaltnisses der strafrechtlichen sozialen Kontrolle zu der medizinischen, besonders der psychiatrischen Kontrolle zu der Feststellung gefuhrt, das die Kontrollsysteme selbst ein bestimmtes Geschlecht haben bzw. einem Geschlecht zugeordnet werden konnen. Diese Vermutung wurde dann durch die Anwendung der Kriterien der feministischen Erkenntnistheorie auf kriminologische Beitrage von Frauen erhartet.

TL;DR: In this article, a court procedure that restores the participants' rights to their own conflicts is outlined, where the participants have lost their rights to participate in conflict resolution in the past.
Abstract: CONFLICTS are seen as important elements in society. Highly industrialised societies do not have too much internal conflict, they have too little. We have to organise social systems so that conflicts are both nurtured and made visible and also see to it that professionals do not monopolise the handling of them. Victims of crime have in particular lost their rights to participate. A court procedure that restores the participants' rights to their own conflicts is outlined.

TL;DR: The authors of as discussed by the authors suggest that a wide range of services which were once produced in the money economy are increasingly provided informally on a self-service basis. But they do not consider the role of the state in the provision of these services.
