We praise those people who do things for others. But the symbolic power of giving means individuals can take advantage of the glow of ‘goodness’ that charity provides. This book analyses the reality of how charity operates in the social world; how the personal benefits of giving and volunteering are vital for getting charitable acts to happen; how the altruism associated with gifts isn't always what it seems; how charity misbehaviour or bad management gets overlooked; and how charity symbols are weaponised against those who don't participate. Drawing on original data and a novel application of the sociology of Bourdieu, this book examines a wide range of examples from culture, politics and society to provide an entertaining critique of how contemporary charity works.Less

In early modern Britain, the primary medium of free comment was the clandestine satire, circulated either orally or in manuscript. Part of the national political culture from Jacobean times, satire reached its greatest influence following the Restoration of Charles II, when a new ‘easy’ style, combining courtly polish with demotic frankness and flagrant indecency, led to the composition of thousands of such poems. Most of the poets of the time, including such major talents as Marvell and Rochester, wrote in the genre, though nearly always anonymously. While its chief targets were political, much Restoration satire concerned itself with the emerging demography of ‘Town’ and its uncertain experimentation with new kinds of social freedom. Attacks on the sexual misbehaviour (real or imagined) of aristocratic women hover, equally uncertainly, between moral condemnation and ill-disguised envy, while also conferring an inverse celebrity status on their victims. In this paradoxical social world, not to be lampooned could mean that one was no longer a person of importance. In the first comprehensive survey of this vast field, Harold Love considers the relationship of the lampoon to gossip, how one might construct a poetics of the genre, and how clandestine satire reached and was received by its readers. Constructing three primary categories of ‘court’, ‘Town’ and ‘state’ lampooning, Love argues that far from being the product of isolated disaffection, most satire was the work of a circle of recognized poets, frequently operating in collaboration. An extensive first-line index to the principal manuscript sources for clandestine satire makes this book an open sesame to further exploration of its fascinating field.Less

Standards have become widespread regulatory tools that promote global trade, innovation, efficiency, and quality. They contribute significantly to the creation of safe, reliable, and high-quality services and technologies to ensure human health, environmental protection, or information security. Yet intentional deviations from standards by organizations are often reported in many sectors, which can either contribute to or challenge the measures of safety and quality they are designed to safeguard. Why then, despite all potential consequences, do organizations choose to deviate from standards in one way or another? This book uses structuration theory—covering aspects of both structure and agency—to explore the organizational conditions and contradictions under which different types of deviance occur. It also provides empirical explanations for deviance in organizations that go beyond an understanding of individual misbehaviour where mainly a single person is held responsible. Case studies of software developing organizations illustrate insightful generalizations on standards as a mechanism of sensemaking, resource allocation, and sanctioning, and provide ground to rethink corporate responsibility when deviating from standards in the ‘audit society’.Less

Responding to misbehaviour in the classroom is a very demanding task. This chapter suggests that teachers should formulate their own personal plans for managing student misbehaviour. It also outlines four levels of intervention to stop difficult behaviour, ranging from the least disruptive strategies of non-interference to non-verbal intervention, and from verbal intervention to the use of logical consequences. Practical and effective strategies and measures for each level are introduced to equip teachers for daily classroom practices.Less

There are various approaches and models to help teachers manage their classrooms. This chapter first introduces four major kinds of classification networks for classroom management and discipline, and then describes Ramon Lewis's framework which offers teachers a simple and practical strategy for dealing with misbehaviour. Lewis's framework incorporates various models into three simple approaches: teacher-oriented, student-oriented and group-oriented. Well-known models such as Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET), the Assertiveness Model and the Social Discipline Model are discussed in simple and practical terms.Less

The powerlessness of the youth in Japan makes them a most vulnerable target of the dominant subculture group. This is exacerbated in that youth are also at an age of rebellion and idealism apt to question the status quo in search of a new and better tomorrow. This chapter focuses on youth, their limited rights and powerlessness, relentless and discriminate social controls over them, and their rebellion against adult authority. This chapter presents the status of the Japanese youth offences based on types of misbehaviour acts and discusses crime prevention in Japan with regards to adolescents. It explains the reforms in education advocating greater attention to traditional values and authoritarianism in secondary schools that show a number of implications for youth in relation to inequality and deviance. It describes the working class and class culture. It traces the history of youth deviance in Japan, focusing on similar trends of conflict between the state and its network of adult controls over youth. Finally, it elucidates the misconceptions about youth crime.Less

This chapter offers a deeper look into reforms in England and Wales. It describes the technical language of class actions as civil procedures that uncover the politics and economic interests involved in reform processes. It reviews debates over class action that have been divided along ideological lines, with conservative forces and corporate lobbies seeking to restrict the expansion and delimit the purview of the legal vehicle and progressive forces seeking to introduce and expand their scope. The chapter examines the redistributive feature of class actions and their effectiveness in vindicating the rights of harmed people against largely corporate misbehaviour on a mass scale. It discusses the political and economic interests that have animated discourse and reforms, including the ways in which such interests have perpetuated misconceptions and misinformation about class actions.Less

This chapter provides an overview of the buildings in the spaces exterior to the cathedral and their uses, with an emphasis on behaviour ‘out of place’, including vagrancy and violence. It focuses on the area of the north churchyard, in particular the bookshops and the College of Minor Canons, as revealed in the 1598 bishop’s visitation documents. Shopping for books is described, along with how it evolved to include browsing or loitering. The College of Minor Canons, built as a site for the clergy associated with the cathedral choir, operated much as did other London neighbourhoods. However, the permission of clerical marriage, the alteration of structures in the college, the practice of taking on lodgers, and the presence of women, transformed the meaning of the space. The individuals who lived there are considered, many of whom regularly transgressed social and religious norms and tore the fabric of community.Less

In this chapter, Andrea Fried and Sarah Langer present a novel typology to systematize the variety of and reasons for organizational deviance from standards. The typology explains why organizations deviate from standards. It identifies four types of organizational deviance: two types of commitment-oriented deviance (attentive deviance from standards and over-conformity with standards) and two types of manipulation-oriented deviance (non-regulated deviance from standards and illegitimate deviance from standards). The basis of the typology is a cross-case comparison of CraneSolutions, MedTech, and MetroEngineers, as presented in part II of the book. In this comparison the authors explain which organizational conditions and contradictions in standard enactment make a certain type of organizational deviance likely.Less

In this chapter, Andrea Fried discusses the implications of a better understanding of deviance from standards for corporate responsibility in terms of both compliance-related duties for companies and their criminal liability. Five questions related to this are answered in this summarizing chapter: Is voluntary self-regulation of companies a way of ensuring corporate responsibility? What contributes to a manipulation of standards even if a strong external control and sanctioning system is in place? Should legislative authorities only sanction actual knowledge of and engagement in wrongful acts of standard deviation? Should legislation stipulate a criminal liability also for companies? Why should companies allow organizational members to deviate from standards? Answers to these questions relate to the empirical investigations presented in previous chapters of the book and show strong support for a corporate criminal law that should apply when standard deviations lead to health, environmental, or safety risks.Less

This chapter concentrates on ‘delinquent’ teenage girls in inter-war Montreal. A major target of the modern juvenile justice movement – the sex delinquent – could be determined daily in the nation's new juvenile courts. In Montreal Juvenile Delinquents' Court, girls' misbehaviour was largely interpreted in sexual terms. In addition, most girls that were accused of desertion had some sexual experience, but their desertions were often about much more than having sex. Then, the experiences of girls while running away, which involved both adventure and survival, are explored. In general, the data showed that deserting daughters left their homes and ventured onto the streets of Montreal, where they found pleasure and danger, were rarely alone, and where the social geography of Montreal aided them in their journey.Less
