The expansion of the nuclear family unit in Great Britain between 1910 and 1920

This article deals with the evolution of the image of the individual and of family structure within every social class in Great Britain between 1910 and 1920, not only because of the influence of the Great War but also of the effect of new social legislative steps taken by the Radical Liberal government. Its essential findings are that the power of males declined in the aristocracy when they were faced, on the one hand, by the increasing attention and concern for children, and on the other hand, by the social, cultural, moral, and political part played by mothers within smaller working- and middle-class family units. Such units were regarded as the crucible for the regeneration and strengthening of the whole British society.     

Mainstreaming Therapeutic Jurisprudence in Family Law: The Israeli Child Protection Law as a Case Study

This article considers the contribution of therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ) to the theoretical development and practical advancement of reforms in child care law. It does so by presenting three dilemmas arising from The Israeli Youth Law (Care and Supervision) 1960 relating to its substance, procedures, and practice. TJ is a “field of enquiry” that examines the influence of the law on litigants in order to advance rules and practices that have therapeutic effects and to minimize the use of rules and practices that have antitherapeutic ones. Following the TJ methodology, we integrate psychosocial findings into the legal discussion. We propose some therapeutic practices, as well as legal reform to make the child protection legal regime more TJ friendly for children and families.

农民工返乡的生命历程——以湖北沟村为表述对象

本文以湖北沟村为田野,在生命历程理论的视野下描述了农民工从外出务工至最终返乡的长期过程,并对不同出生组农民工的返乡历程进行了比较分析。在社会系统的宏观结构下,农民工个体依循着年龄的层级在一系列生命事件中不断反思自身角色并重新进行定位。但是由于社会化过程的差异,六七十年代出生的第一代农民工能够顺利地实现角色转换,而80后农民工在返乡过程中的调整却要经历较大的波折。     

从大治安看家庭教育理念的创新

家庭教育,此老话题如今遏上新问题。社会化、全球化、市场化、数字化,已使家庭教育逐步陷入困境。大治安,必然要求家庭教育理念的创新。即：既要淡化家庭观念,又要强化家庭教育;既要重智育,又要重德育;既要谈雷锋,又要谈利益;既要讲目标,又要讲方法;既要唱白脸,又要唱红脸;既要做老师,又要做学生;既要富孩子,又要穷孩子;既要学,又要做;既要收,又要放;既要赢得起,又要输得起。     

浅谈李宗仁故居的保护和利用

李宗仁故居富有传奇色彩,其蕴藏的丰富内涵和历史意义使之在桂林的历史文化中脱颖而出,具有吸引大量游人游览的独特条件。然而,故居的旅游现状并不理想,每年到故居参加的人数还不到10000人,不及台儿庄大战纪念馆一周的客流量。要改变这种旅游现状,应有故居保护与开发利用的新思路：改变观念,提高认识;加大宣传推介力度,扩大李宗仁故居的知名度;转变经营理念,联运周边景点;争取涉台文物保护资金;进一步正确处理李宗仁故居保护和利用的关系。     

Race and Class

This article examines the rise of the Independent Workers Union (IWU) in Ireland, North and South, in relation to the bifurcation of trade unionism on the Island, from 1900 until the demise of the so-called Celtic tiger in the early years of the twenty-first century. It is argued that two competing ideological and political trajectories defined the major divisions in the Irish labour movement and where given added impetus with the formation of two separate states after 1920. One tradition was committed to an idea of a progressive British empire, while the other was born of a movement linking together trade union, class and national autonomy. A trade union with a long history and recent past, the IWU represents a labour movement formation whose tradition extends the latter: it is committed to developing forms of opposition to state and capital. If more subdued since the partition of the island, this tradition was reignited with the implosion of Social Partnership in the South and the rise of the new sectarianism in the North. Neoliberalism, with its consequent assault upon labour and its various institutions more broadly, provided additional impetus to the creation of the IWU in 2004. The article also assesses its various alternative union and community organising strategies.     

An analysis of e-government in the Department of Home Affairs of South Africa

The new information and communication technologies （ICTs） are radically redefining the world＇s social, economic and political landscape. People live in the information age and their environment and needs are changed by the development of ICTs. The Republic of South Africa as a democratic country also faces the challenge in the information age. The Government of South Africa has embarked on a number of measures to ensure that information and communication technologies （ICTs） play a vital role in society. The Department of Home Affairs （DHA） plays a central and indispensable role within the public service, impacting on the lives of all the citizens and the people who visit South Africa. The DHA has felt the pressures emanating from South Africa＇s transition to democracy and the tremendous growth in the demand for its services. It is important for the DHA to adopt the ICTs in its services to deliver them conveniently and efficiently to citizens. The paper presents the research undertaken of the present status and application of e-government in the Department of Home Affairs in Republic of South Africa as well as the analysis of challenges the DHA faces in the quest to deliver services with ICT. Feedback obtained from clients was reviewed with the aim of offering recommendations on how the DHA can improve service delivery using ICT.     

The Hunting of the Snark: Reflections on a Half Century of Crime

John Croft is a former head of the UK's Home Office Research and Planning Unit, so is able to draw on extensive experience to offer this reflective examination of half a century of involvement in the criminal justice system. He surveys the shifting patterns of research, popular attitudes and social emphasis, relates them to the changing political context, and asks a number of telling questions — including 'What works?' The author concludes that not much does work, and that government has had little influence on fluctuations in the crime rate since the Second World War. He recommends periodic reviews of research across the whole criminal justice system, perhaps on a ten‐year cycle; more comparative research, which would help to illuminate problems and perhaps suggest solutions; a closer look at the interaction between social and criminal policies; and a re‐examination of risk assessment, particularly in its implications for penology.
