This article looks at the financial performance and position of English professional football before Covid‐19 and the impact that the pandemic has had on the industry. It analyses revenue streams in different divisions, the dependency that clubs have on them and how they have changed as a result of the pandemic. The article also reviews key costs for football clubs, the extent to which they can be reduced, different business models that operate, and possible funding sources for the sport from third parties and within the industry. 相似文献
This paper explores spectatorial encounters with criminal trials. Particularly focusing on the 2018 work of Australian contemporary visual artist Julie Fragar that followed her watching murder trials in the Supreme Court of Queensland, it is argued that the artist as a legal outsider grapples with the inhumanity of the trial. This grappling can go in two directions. For some there is a need to bring the human back, to see the person beneath the mask of the role that they are performing, to connect the gothic horror of the trial back to a redeeming humanism. For others, and this is evident in Fragar, the horror of the inhumanity is visceral and overpowering, and the grotesque masque of judgment needs to be witnessed. Both perform a corrective and critique to the business as usual of processing, judging and stamping onto human lives that is legal insider’s performance in the criminal trial.
Homicidal ideation is a clinical construct that is almost entirely absent from the criminological literature. The current study examines the criminology of homicidal ideation using archival data from a population of federal supervised release felons from the Midwestern United States. ANOVA, Poisson regression, negative binomial regression, and epidemiological tables indicated that 12 % of offenders experienced evidence of homicidal ideation and these offenders perpetrated more murders, attempted murders, kidnappings, armed robberies, and aggravated assaults, had more severe and extensive psychopathology, and were more likely to be chronic offenders. Homicidal ideation is an important construct that should be studied more not only for its association with murder, but as an omnibus risk factor for severe criminality. 相似文献
This paper draws upon automobile semiotics and legal semiotics to argue that the car in Australian social security decisions becomes an avatar for the applicant that is then decoded into meaning streams concerning deservingness and prudence. It is suggested that this has two implications. The first it highlights the techniques where by a technical object (the car) and the ‘life’ of the applicant became bridged in law; and through that bridging life becomes ‘formatted.’ The second highlights the extent of automobile culture. The car has meaning beyond the highways and parking lots. The paper shows how these meanings have become integrated into processes of biopolitical governance. 相似文献
Public inquiries are an important phenomenon in modern British society, often used to address controversial or difficult issues of major concern to policy makers, the media and the public. Although people often comment adversely on how costly inquiries are and how long they take, inquiry methods are rarely discussed, let alone critiqued or challenged. However, from a social sciences perspective, inquiry methods, processes and outputs are often at odds with accepted standards for research methods. This paper discusses this divergence and the implications for how we should regard the inquiry as a way of knowing, or learning. 相似文献
In this essay, the authors seek to draw upon the understanding and critique of positivism within criminological discourse
in order to offer one analysis of the British governments’ approach to the Northern Ireland peace process. They argue that
this approach has been hampered not just by the political reliance of the John Major government on Ulser Unionist support
at Westminster but by a political and ideological approach to the peace process, informed by positivist terrorology, which
has lead to an inability to ‘see’ the potential for peace. Offering a brief analysis of one of its leading academic proponents,
the authors argue that such a paradigm posits a view of the liberal democratic state as axiomatically legitimate. Politically-motivated
violence within such a state is seen as a purely criminal attack upon it, fundamentally inexplicable in terms other than the
deviancy of its perpetrators. Thus in this view, politically-motivated violence is only combatable through purely instrumental,
technical, and scientific means. By way of contrast to this paradigm, the authors offer an alternative vision, based on the
epistemologies of critical and peacemaking criminology which, they argue, offers much greater potential for the prospects
of peace in Northern Ireland and similar political conflicts elsewhere.

Recently,I had the chance to attend the Ehbor Cup Tour of Fuzhou,which was a three-day,three-stage cycling event open to professionals and amateurs alike from all over Asia.Unfortunately,I wasn’t a competitor.I’m not quite fit enough to make it up a mountain at my own pace,let alone when trying to beat more than 100 other people.I’m not sure I’d want to see myself in spandex either.However,it was from my comfortable,and physically un-strenuous,position on the sidelines that I had time to reflect a little. 相似文献
