Family, Victims and Culture

Youth Justice in New Zealand

By: Gabrielle M. Maxwell,Allison Margaret Morris

The concept of restorative justice was in its infancy when New Zealand introduced Family Group Conferences as a way of responding to young people who offend.Ê This novel approach is now recognized as the first practical example of a restorative justice process for decision-making in a Western criminal justice system.Ê The research study reported here observed 200 family group conferences in 1990 and interviewed the families, victims, and young people who participated in them.Ê The findings show that giving young people, families, and victims the opportunity to decide on how best to heal the harm and restore the lives of those involved can work in ways that was never possible in the traditional justice system.Ê

Dancing in the English style

Consumption, Americanisation and national identity in Britain, 1918–50

By: Allison Abra

Dancing in the English style explores the development, experience, and cultural representation of popular dance in Britain from the end of the First World War to the early 1950s. It describes the rise of modern ballroom dancing as Britain's predominant popular style, as well as the opening of hundreds of affordable dancing schools and purpose-built dance halls. It focuses in particular on the relationship between the dance profession and dance hall industry and the consumers who formed the dancing public. Together these groups negotiated the creation of a 'national' dancing style, which constructed, circulated, and commodified ideas about national identity. At the same time, the book emphasizes the global, exploring the impact of international cultural products on national identity construction, the complexities of Americanisation, and Britain's place in a transnational system of production and consumption that forged the dances of the Jazz Age.
