Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores multiple examples of how to connect classrooms to communities through service learning and participatory research to teach issues of social justice. The various chapters provide examples of how collaborations between students, faculty, and community partners are creating models of democratic spaces (on campus and off campus) where the students are teachers and the teachers are students. The purpose of this volume is to provide examples of how service learning can be integrated into courses addressing social justice issues. At the same time, it is about demonstrating the power of service learning in advancing a course content that is community-based and socially engaged.To stimulate the adaptation of the approaches described in these books, each volume includes an Activity / Methodology table that summarizes key elements of each example, such as class size, pedagogy, and other disciplinary applications.

Book excerpt: Back in 2007, Philadelphia, aka "The City of Brotherly Love", was known as the murder capital, and averaged over a murder a day. This senseless violence has plagued our streets because of the mental state of we've been in. The only ones benefiting from this violence are the gravediggers and the prison systems. We all must play a part to end the violence and killings, especially those who added to the problem. If we try to ignore it, it will surely get our attention when it comes knocking at the door! We must learn to 'live and let live' and finally break away from the chains of psychological slavery. Without a change in thinking we may be physically free, but mentally, we will still be in prison, just minus the bars. The only way we can accomplish true freedom is by learning from life's experiences. There's nothing nice about laying in a casket and there is nothing sexy about wearing an orange jumpsuit and brown state boots.Life IS a struggle. We all know this, but we all don't accept it. If we live a bigger and better life we are going to be faced with new challenges. We must go through these challenges and allow them to build us up as stronger men and women. It is then our duty to pass down this knowledge and mindset to the next generations and break the unbroken cycle. Somebody dropped the ball many generations ago, so now, let's start to make things right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the lifecourse perspective has become a popular theoretical orientation toward crime. Yet despite its growing importance in the field of criminology, most textbooks give it only cursory treatment. Crime and the Lifecourse: An Introduction by Michael L. Benson provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and theory on the life-course approach to crime. The book emphasizes a conceptual understanding of this approach. A special feature is the integration of qualitative and quantitative research on criminal life histories. This book: provides an overview of the life course approach and describes the major concepts and issues in lifecourse theory as it applies to criminology reviews evidence on biological and genetic influences on crime reviews research on the role of the family in crime and juvenile delinquency provides a detailed discussion of the criminological lifecourse theories of Moffitt, Hagan, Sampson and Laub, and others discusses the connections between youthful crime and adult outcomes in education, occupation, and marriage presents an application of the lifecourse approach to white-collar crime discusses how macro sociological and historical developments have influenced the shape of the lifecourse in American society as it relates to patterns in crime.

Book excerpt: Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change builds on the growing general interest in the comparative study of sport policy and the more specific interest in processes of policy change and issues associated with policy convergence. In stark contrast to many other areas of public policy such as education, personal welfare and health care there is a paucity of theoretically informed comparative studies in sport. Over recent years there has been a steady increase in public investment in sport and frequently, as a consequence, a sharper debate about how public resources should be used. However, there has been little analysis of the factors that shape the generation of domestic sport policy and little attempt to identify the variables that might influence the policy process. Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change provides a theoretically informed analysis of the sports systems in Canada, England, Germany and Norway. These economically advanced countries are carefully selected to enable the investigation of the significance of variables and because they share a number of socio-economic and sports-related characteristics, which provides the text with a unique breadth and depth of coverage. This text is a vital addition to the general paucity of literature in this area and is written by an internationally renowned author team.
