چکیده
The underlying thesis of this paper is that crime control policy is politically constructed. In developing our thesis and its implications, we depart from much of the conventional wisdom in three basic ways. First, in demonstrating the political derivations of crime control policy we reveal how, why, and to what extent criminological knowledge is marginalized in the policymaking process. Second, this paper takes issue with what is largely taken for granted by criminologists, criminal process professionals, and the general public as well: the pervasive attractions of a punitive discourse and punitive approaches to crime control. Finally, our exploration of the politics driving crime control policy reveals more complexity, contingency, and variation within the political process than most observers attribute to the politics of crime and punishment.

متن کامل0 Some examples related to the Deligne - Simpson problem ∗
In the present paper we consider some examples relative to the Deligne-Simpson problem (DSP) which is formulated like this: Give necessary and sufficient conditions upon the choice of the p+ 1 conjugacy classes cj ⊂ gl(n,C), resp. Cj ⊂ GL(n,C), so that there exist irreducible (p+1)-tuples of matrices Aj ∈ cj , A1 + . . .+Ap+1 = 0, resp. of matrices Mj ∈ Cj , M1 . . .Mp+1 = I. By definition, the...

Let {cj} be a null sequence of bounded variation. We give appreciate smoothness and growth conditions on {cj} to obtain the pointwise convergence as well as Lr -convergence of Laguerre series ∑ cj a j . Then, we prove aHardy-Littlewood type inequality ∫∞ 0 |f(t)|r dt≤ C ∑∞ j=0 |cj| j̄1−r/2 for certain r ≤ 1, where f is the limit function of ∑ cj a j . Moreover, we show that if f(x) ∼ ∑cj a j is ...
