Sinopse

"Quantitative Criminology Handbook" serves as a comprehensive guide to applying statistical and mathematical methods in understanding and addressing crime and criminal behavior. We delve into various quantitative techniques used by criminologists to analyze crime patterns, assess risk factors, and evaluate the effectiveness of crime prevention strategies.
Covering a wide range of topics, we explore key concepts such as regression analysis, correlation, spatial analysis, and machine learning in criminological research. Readers gain insights into how quantitative methods study recidivism, crime hotspots, offender characteristics, and the impact of social and environmental factors on criminal activities.
We address methodological and ethical considerations, discussing data collection techniques, model validation, interpretation of results, and the importance of transparency and reproducibility in quantitative research.
Written by experts in the field, "Quantitative Criminology Handbook" provides researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students with a valuable resource for advancing their understanding of crime analysis, risk assessment, crime prevention, and evidence-based decision-making in the criminal justice system. With practical insights, case studies, and discussions on emerging trends, our handbook is essential for anyone interested in applying quantitative methods to criminological research and practice.

    The Souls of Black Folk

    W. E. B. Du Bois

    The Souls of Black Folk is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.
    The book contains several essays on race, some of which the magazine Atlantic Monthly had previously published. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.
    In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.

    The Common Reader - "Volume 2"

    Virginia Woolf

    Do not think, because this collection of essays is titled Volume 2, that there is anything lesser or additional to it. Here is Virginia Woolf at her most entertaining and informative, relishing the portraits and insights she presents as she surveys a varied collection of individuals in English society and English literature. 
     
    The subjects range from the Elizabethans to Thomas Hardy, and then concludes, unexpectedly, with ‘How Should One Read A Book?’ Here is one delight after another: twenty-six occasional pieces (journalistic diversions) which demonstrate that her eye for history, for an individual’s place in history and in books, is just as acute and vivid as any character in her better-known novels. 
     
    Many are familiar names. John Donne, Robinson Crusoe, De Quincey, Lord Chesterfield. There is Dr Burney’s Evening Party and George Gissing, names which indicate there is no overall scheme whatsoever! Woolf champions certain figures, such as Mary Wollstonecraft (admiring her personal stance and strength) and yet has time to cast a softer, kindly eye on Dorothy Wordsworth. The detail contained in these portraits will last long in the memory—Beau Brummell descending from being the unimpeachable dandy to a sad decline; the curious eccentric personality of the poet and hymn writer William Cowper and his affection for Lady Austen. 
     
    Time and again, the skill and the wit of the great writer that is Virginia Woolf simply stops one in one’s tracks, as in her opening lines on Laurence Sterne. The essay is on A Sentimental Journey but she starts with tipping the hat to Tristram Shandy, which appeared when the author was 45. Woolf comments on Sterne: ‘No young writer could have dared to take such liberties with grammar and syntax and sense and propriety and the longstanding tradition of how a novel should be written. It needed a strong dose of the assurance of middle age and its indifference to censure to run such risks of shocking the lettered by the unconventionality of one's style, and the respectable by the irregularity of one's morals. But the risk was run and the success was prodigious.’ What a final sentence! Has the 21st century little time for the elegant essay, the joy of focused wit, of kindness, of acute observation, where the very brevity of format provides a space in which to think and reflect? In The Common Reader Volume 2, (published in 1932), the essay lives on and even more so in this sensitive and engaging book by Georgina Sutton.
