A Popular Criminology of Youth Justice

Youth on Film

By: Jessica Urwin

Analysing the representation of youth crime and justice-involved children in popular fictional films, this book explores how what we see on screen contributes to the perceptions of youth justice in society, policy, and practice. Putting forward the argument that fictional representations have a real-world impact on the opportunities available to children, each chapter in the book focuses on a different genre or type of film and considers the ways in which justice-involved children have been demonised, stereotyped, and harmed by their portrayal on the big screen. From James Dean and the birth of “monstrous youth” in Rebel Without A Cause to the current, more nuanced portrayals as seen in The Young Offenders, the book examines films throughout history and across different cultures. In doing so, it demonstrates how portrayals of justice-involved children have contributed to the social understanding of what youth crime is and who is to blame for it, and highlights how we can use this knowledge to better understand and support children. By combining youth justice theory with media analysis, A Popular Criminology of Youth Justice: Youth on Film makes a novel contribution to both fields and will be of great interest to students and researchers in the areas of youth crime, youth justice, and the media.

A Return to Social Justice

Youth Justice, Ideology and Philosophy

By: Jessica Urwin

Youth justice has always focused on criminal justice but this work argues that taking a social justice approach is the best way to reduce youth crime. Drawing on philosophy, new research, and practitioners’ views, a new organizational structure and approach is developed. Urwin outlines the philosophical and historical background of youth justice and clarifies how this has led to problems within current practice. Prominent debates within the field are also explored in depth, such as care vs. control, and the issue of professional identity. Ultimately, all of these factors are considered in relation to the organizational structure of youth justice, and this bold and engaging study highlights the need for a more principled approach to practice. Timely and authoritative, this book is will be of great interest to youth justice practitioners, academics, students, and those who would like to apply social justice to social institutions.

The Restless Clock

A History of the Centuries-Long Argument Over What Makes Living Things Tick

By: Jessica Riskin

Today, a scientific explanation is not meant to ascribe agency to natural phenomena: we would not say a rock falls because it seeks the center of the earth. Even for living things, in the natural sciences and often in the social sciences, the same is true. A modern botanist would not say that plants pursue sunlight. This has not always been the case, nor, perhaps, was it inevitable. Since the seventeenth century, many thinkers have made agency, in various forms, central to science. The Restless Clock examines the history of this principle, banning agency, in the life sciences. It also tells the story of dissenters embracing the opposite idea: that agency is essential to nature. The story begins with the automata of early modern Europe, as models for the new science of living things, and traces questions of science and agency through Descartes, Leibniz, Lamarck, and Darwin, among many others. Mechanist science, Jessica Riskin shows, had an associated theology: the argument from design, which found evidence for a designer in the mechanisms of nature. Rejecting such appeals to a supernatural God, the dissenters sought to naturalize agency rather than outsourcing it to a “divine engineer.” Their model cast living things not as passive but as active, self-making machines. The conflict between passive- and active-mechanist approaches maintains a subterranean life in current science, shaping debates in fields such as evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. This history promises not only to inform such debates, but also our sense of the possibilities for what it means to engage in science—and even what it means to be alive.

Examining Mental Health through Social Constructionism

The Language of Mental Health

By: Michelle O'Reilly,Jessica Nina Lester

This book explores social constructionism and the language of mental distress. Mental health research has traditionally been dominated by genetic and biomedical explanations that provide only partial explanations. However, process research that utilises qualitative methods has grown in popularity. Situated within this new strand of research, the authors examine and critically assess some of the different contributions that social constructionism has made to the study of mental distress and to how those diagnosed are conceptualized and labeled. This will be an invaluable introduction and source of practical strategies for academics, researchers and students as well as clinical practitioners, mental health professionals, and others working with mental health such as educationalists and social workers.

You Will Come Forth as Gold Study Guide

The Refining Influence of Suffering

By: Jessica Plaza

This Study Guide accompanies the 'You Will Come Forth as Gold' book. YOU WILL COME FORTH AS GOLD chronicles the journey of the Author through different levels of suffering to triumph. We don't often see that the suffering we endure in this life has a divine purpose to bring forth what God has placed inside us. Our response to suffering is usually complaining, discomfort, confusion and depression; but what if we change our perspective and see the purpose of being refined by the 'Refiners Fire' from a heavenly perspective? What if we understood that our present suffering is working out within us a greater glory to be revealed in the earth realm? Would our response to suffering change then? Jessica has been through many trials, but it has all worked out for her good. This book will open your eyes to see that your value cannot be measured by the immediate circumstances you may ne facing at this moment, but by God who allows certain things to happen to shift you into purpose. Your suffering is not unto death, but is designed to realign you into a position of influence; equip and empower you to be a beacon of light and hope to countless people who are waiting for you to lead them put of their land of bondage. Why we suffer is not a practical question. The real issue is, what is this suffering designed to produce in me.
