Criminal Justice Policy and Planning: Planned Change
by Philip W. Harris Wayne N. Welsh Bradley D. EdwardsUnlike other textbooks on the subject, this book presents a comprehensive and structured account of the process of administering planned change in the criminal justice system. The authors detail a simple yet sophisticated seven-stage model, which offers students and practitioners a full account of program and policy development from beginning to end. Within these stages, students focus on performing essential procedures, such as conducting a systems analysis, specifying an impact model, identifying target populations, making cost projections, collecting monitoring data, and performing evaluations. In reviewing these steps and procedures, students can develop a full appreciation for the challenges inherent in the process and understand the tools they require to meet those challenges. To provide for a greater understanding of the material, the text uses a wide array of real-life case studies and examples of programs and policies. By examining the successes and failures of various innovations, the authors demonstrate both the ability of rational planning to make successful improvements and the tendency of unplanned change to result in undesirable outcomes. The result is a powerful argument for the use of logic, deliberation, and collaboration in criminal justice innovations.This readable volume is ideal as a primary or supplemental text in criminal justice policy-related courses, and also serves as a useful reference for practitioners in the field tasked with strategic planning for policy change.

Critical AI in K-12 Classrooms: A Practical Guide for Cultivating Justice and Joy
by Stephanie Smith Budhai Marie K. HeathA practical guide for teachers and students navigating the complicated intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and justice Artificial intelligence is rapidly integrating into today&’s classrooms, but unlike other new technologies, AI has the potential to harm, making it difficult to take advantage of its benefits. In Critical AI in K–12 Classrooms, Stephanie Smith Budhai and Marie K. Heath draw attention to the biases embedded within AI algorithms, such as those powering OpenAI&’s ChatGPT and DALL-E, to guide students and teachers in developing strategies to best incorporate AI—or not—into equitable learning. AI&’s reliance on existing data and knowledge systems means Black, queer, those with disabilities, and other marginalized students are at greater risk of being harmed by built-in limitations and bias. Budhai and Heath show how to circumvent if not actively resist such harms as machine learning, NLPs, LLMS, and GenAI enter the classroom, with practical examples rooted in culturally sustaining, abolitionist, and fugitive pedagogies across disciplines. Their practical guide creatively answers the concerns of educators committed to forward-thinking yet fair instruction and the needs of students eager to use AI for just ends. Critical AI in K–12 Classrooms meets the challenges of a key STEM technology with an eye toward cultivating a more just world. Balancing responsible learning with the joy of discovery, Budhai and Heath build a framework for AI instruction that all educators can confidently use.
Critical Approaches for Teacher Residencies: Dreaming New Ways Forward in School, University, and Community Entanglements (Routledge Research in Teacher Education)
by Thomas Albright Stephanie Behm Cross Camea DavisThis book asks whose histories, knowledges, struggles, sorrows, joys, dreams, and expertise matter in teacher education and teacher residencies. It conceives of teacher residencies as a space for the multiplicity of voices and experiences needed to create opportunities for more democratic education and explores how this might be achieved despite the ways in which schools have become both more politicized and standardized in recent years. It argues that this work will not happen in silos but in community. As such, it showcases residency programs and program providers that have embraced a critical turn in residency work, as well as the voices and perspectives of critical community co-conspirators and the youth being served. Chapters examine geo-socio-historical and political contexts, the democratic and participatory nature of residency work, critical theoretical frameworks, and learning as liberation.Advocating for a critical turn in teacher residency programming and research, this book provides research interventions, practical tools, and residency models that emphasize criticality in teacher preparation. It offers valuable insights for researchers interested in democratizing teacher education.
Critical Consciousness: Beyond Impasses in Environmentalism, Psychoanalysis, and Education (Routledge Focus on Mental Health)
by Joseph Scalia III Lynne S. ScaliaCritical Consciousness provides insight into the antagonism and disputative dialogue present in contemporary discourse.Taking a broad, pluralistic psychoanalytic perspective, the authors shed light on how and why ideology and conflict have infiltrated education, environmentalism, and psychoanalysis. This book unpacks forms of indoctrination and rejection of new ideas in environmentalism, considers the desubjectification of the human in mental health "services," and assesses how the educational world needs leaders who can articulate unspoken educational aims that perpetuate inequalities, hidden oppression, and their pathogenic effects on disenfranchised groups. This book takes account of the competing schools of psychoanalysis, their members' dismissiveness and enmity toward each other, and their rationalized resistances to discussion across the aisles. From that viewscape, a challenging path forward is proposed.Critical Consciousness will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to readers interested in the psychological aspects of dehumanization, competition, and opposing group identity.
Critical Health and Learning Disabilities: An Exploration of Erasure and Social Murder (Critical Approaches to Health)
by Sara RyanThis empirically grounded book presents a critical, interdisciplinary perspective on social and cultural issues related to the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities. Through an exploration of healthcare, love and intimacy, pregnancy and childbirth, housing, employment and food the book highlights the enduringly impoverished lives and premature deaths people labelled with learning disabilities experience globally and suggests that such structural violence amounts to social murder.Through the lens of critical disability studies, the book links the debates around learning disabilities to the larger framework of deinstitutionalisation. It takes a closer look at the label “learning disability”, which remains associated with stigma and shame, and advances comprehension of how and why it is that the lives of this group of people are systematically constrained and shortened. The book further identifies recommendations that can be utilised for challenging and changing these circumstances.It is essential reading for those involved in social and cultural issues related to the lives of people with learning disabilities, and also beneficial for advanced students in sociology, anthropology, psychology, allied health sciences and other related disciplines.

Critical Theory, Poststructuralism and ‘Nietzsche’s Paradox’: The Missing Debate Between Adorno and Deleuze Over Dialectics (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought)
by Nektarios KastrinakisCritical Theory, Poststructuralism and ‘Nietzsche’s Paradox’ addresses a fundamental question in the exchange between Critical Theory and poststructuralism: is poststructuralism justified in its critique of dialectical thinking and in the conclusion of this critique that we need to leave dialectics behind us to properly understand the social world?When Deleuze’s book Nietzsche and Philosophy was first published back in 1962, it caused a sensation in France, and its Nietzschean critique of Hegelian dialectics played a pivotal role in the emergence of the current of thought we call poststructuralism. However, to what extent is this critique valid and justified? This question has never been adequately investigated. With this book, Nektarios Kastrinakis attempts such an investigation through the exploration of the influence of Nietzsche in both Deleuze and Adorno. More specifically, he investigates a paradox in 20th-century philosophy, the ‘paradox of Nietzsche’: Nietzsche is claimed by Deleuze to be a fierce critic of Hegel’s dialectics and by authors like Gillian Rose and Karin Bauer to be the originator of Adorno’s negative dialectics. Kastrinakis argues that there are in fact at least ‘two Nietzsches,’ one with an irrationalistic and one with a rationalistic critique of identity thinking, on which both poststructuralism/Deleuze and Critical Theory/Adorno, respectively, lay a legitimate claim. He moreover enacts the missing in the literature debate between Adorno and Deleuze, which concludes that Adorno’s critique of identity thinking (his negative dialectics), when modified to include an affirmative moment at its heart, unacknowledged by Adorno himself, can effectively challenge Deleuze’s Nietzschean critique of dialectics.Critical Theory, Poststructuralism and ‘Nietzsche’s Paradox’ intervenes in the boundary between political philosophy and philosophy and will be of interest to scholars of Nietzsche, Deleuze, Adorno but also generally of poststructuralism and Critical Theory in these disciplines.

Critique of Practical Music: Music and Moral Development (Routledge Research in Aesthetics)
by James O. YoungThis book offers a systematic survey of ethos theory: the theory according to which the right sort of music can have a positive or negative effect on moral development. It also evaluates the extant empirical literature on music and moral development.The belief that the right sort of music promotes moral development is almost ubiquitous. At every stage in the history of philosophical thinking, many philosophers have believed that the right sort of music is conducive to moral improvement and the wrong kind of music can produce moral decay. This book has three main goals. The first is to inform readers about the range of thinkers and cultures (Asian, African and European) which have adopted some version of the ethos theory. The book surveys the history of ethos theory starting with its origins in ancient Greece and ancient China, proceeding to trace its development through the Middle Ages and into the early modern period. Next, the development of ethos theory is traced from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present. The second goal is to investigate what would count as evidence that ethos theory is correct, paying specific attention to the complex ways that people experience music. Finally, the author evaluates the currently available empirical evidence for ethos theory.Critique of Practical Music will appeal to philosophers, psychologists, musicologists and music educators who are interested in music and moral development.
Cross-Border Mobility in Eastern European Union Countries: External Shocks and Regional Resilience (Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy)
by Andrzej Jakubowski Tomasz Komornicki Rafał Wiśniewski Barbara Szejgiec-Kolenda Eugenia MaruniakThis book examines how cross-border mobility across the eastern border of Poland with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, driven by external shocks, influences different territorial units.It offers a new understanding of the determinants, dynamics, spatial distribution and impact on such mobility in times of upheaval and uncertainty. It provides answers to the following questions: how do the different types of flows of people evolve under various external shocks?; to what extent is cross-border mobility resilient to these shocks in terms of the intensity of flows, their volume and the directions of linkages?; how do rapid and unexpected changes in cross-border mobility affect the performance of national, regional and local social and economic systems?; and to what extent and how does cross-border mobility as triggered by external shocks reinforce, deepen or alter existing spatial regularities and differentiations? Referring to current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the book presents evidence of their implications on cross-border mobility, illuminating policy responses with a view to potential future crises. Further, it draws attention to the territorial aspects of changes in the patterns of cross-border population flows that provide a rationale for the territorialisation of relevant policies.Due to its interdisciplinary character, including issues in the scope of regional economics, human geography and international relations, the book is a timely, valid and unique publication, which will appeal to a broad group of specialists: scholars, researchers and policymakers, as well as decision-makers interested in the socio-economic and political situation in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly on the external border of the European Union.

Cross-border Victims in Europe: Legal and Practical Barriers to Free Movement of Victims in Europe (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice)
by Elżbieta Hryniewicz-Lach and Michael KilchlingThis book examines how the movement of individuals across European borders affects their ability to effectively exercise their rights as victims in criminal proceedings – and how to improve the most problematic issues in this area.The European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, both guarantee an individual a freedom of movement understood, among others, as a freedom to leave any country, including one’s own. From a victim perspective, the most relevant aspect of free movement is the fact that the exercise of their freedom to move across the border does not result in a loss of the ability to effectively exercise the rights granted to a victim within the framework of criminal law: the right to be recognized as a victim, to make a formal complaint, to receive information concerning their case, to participate in a criminal proceedings and benefit from victim assistance, compensation, and protection. The book presents the legal situation and factual challenges of cross-border victims, i.e., individuals victimized in a European state other than the state, where they habitually reside, including also migrant victims, based on the results of research conducted by experts in law and victimology in ten European countries, presented from both national and European perspectives.This edited collection will therefore appeal to students and scholars of migration studies, citizenship studies, victimology, and European law. It will also be of importance to legal practitioners and policymakers working in these fields.
