Prison Inmates

Institutions of incarceration have always had some type of recreational program but the outcomes of these types of programs have not been well documented. Historically, they have been time fillers to keep inmates busy, and have been used as an element of social control. In this study, we examined the outcomes of a correctional recreational program, especially its impact upon prisoners' (N = 177) self-esteem. It was found that inmates use recreation as a coping mechanism for their incarceration because is the only time during the day in which they can freely express their personality and, thus, have some type of activity for positive development.

Sykes and Matza introduced neutralization theory in 1957 to explain how juvenile delinquents retain a positive self-image when engaging in delinquent acts. Since then, aspects of neutralization theory have been incorporated into sociological and criminological theories to explain socially deviant behavior. Functional brain mapping research utilizing advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques has identified complex, intrinsically organized, large-scale brain networks. Higher order operations commonly attributed to three brain networks (default mode network [DMN], central executive network [CEN], salience network [SN]) align closely with neutralization theory. This article briefly discusses brain networks in general and the DMN, CEN, and SN specifically. It also discusses how these networks are involved when engaging in the use of techniques of neutralization and offers implications for future research.

In this chapter, I discuss the causes and consequences of masculine domination in sexuality. My main theoretical inspiration is Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination and his key concept symbolic violence. The Norwegian TV-series SKAM is my empirical case. I will trace the historical roots of masculine domination, and discuss how this puts limits on female sexuality, integrity and dignity. By identifying “the elephant in the room”, masculine domination, Bourdieu claims that we can see sexual harassment as a type of social control of women and gay people, using shame as the key control mechanism. I will analyse the reproduction of masculine dominance and symbolic violence through language; by the use of words like “whore” and “homo”, and through masculine stigmatizations of “good” and “bad” girls. The TV-series SKAM has had a considerable impact on the how Norwegians talk about sexual harassment, homophobia and other religions. SKAM shows how the youth can strengthen their self-esteem by dismantling the taboos and making them aware of social control mechanisms. In this chapter, I am addressing teachers to use SKAM to discuss sexual harassment, and to continuing dismantling cultural taboos.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to find out the forms of violence perpetrated by Madurese in Semampir and understand the extent to which religion as a socio-cultural system acts as a tool for social control. The research method that researcher use is a descriptive exploratory type of research. In this study, researcher wanted to explore further the social and cultural role of Madura as a trigger for various characters and acts of violence. The results showed that various acts of violence carried out by Madurese in Semampir were triggered by several factors. The most prominent factor is the exaggeration of self-esteem that is too excessive. Second, the process of interaction between Madurese in multi-ethnic overseas areas, such as in Semampir sub-district, does have socio-cultural characteristics that tend to be hard, both physically and psychologically. Third, the religious system of Madurese in Semampir is more dominated by ceremonial events so that it cannot be used as a tool for maximum social control. Keywords: Violence, Overseas Madura.

Trust In Police

This study aims to identify the legal analysis of the burning of a Sector Police Office by the community from a criminological perspective as well as to analyze the level of community trust in police after the burning of the Sector Police Office based on criminological theories. This descriptive-analytical study applied a normative juridical approach. The results of the legal analysis of the burning of a Sector Police Office by the community from a criminological perspective showed that, according to the anomic theory, the burning is due to the influence of social structure as a correlative factor in the burning of the Sector Police Office of Bendahara. This influence can be seen from the disparity between the goals to be achieved and the means used in achieving these goals. Hence, the community took steps to burn down the Sector Police Office to achieve its goals. Further, the level of community trust in police after the burning of the Sector Police Office was demonstrated through association theory, social control theory, and neutralization theory. Based on the description of the criminological theories and its relation to the phenomenon of the burning of the Sector Police Office of Bendahara, there needs to be an evaluation of the application of the law as the harmonization of the law in the context of criminal provisions is needed.�Pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor oleh Masyarakat dalam Perspektif Kriminologi�Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui analisis hukum terhadap pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor oleh masyarakat dalam perspektif kriminologi, untuk mengetahui kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap kepolisian pasca pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor menurut teori-teori kriminologi. Spesifikasi penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian bersifat deskriptif-analitis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian dari analisis hukum terhadap pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor oleh masyarakat dalam kriminologi bahwa menurut teori anomi menekankan pengaruh struktur sosial sebagai faktor korelatif terjadinya pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor Bendahara. Pengaruh ini terlihat dari adanya disparitas antara tujuan yang hendak dicapai dengan sarana yang digunakan dalam mencapai tujuan tersebut. Hal ini akhirnya mengambil langkah-langkah pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor Bendahara untuk mencapai tujuannya. Selanjutnya tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap kepolisian pasca pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor menunjukkan melalui teori asosiasi; teori kontrol social dan teori netralisasi. Berdasarkan uraian teori-teori kriminologi tersebut dihubungkan fenomena pembakaran Kepolisian Sektor Bendahara saat ini sangatlah dibutuhkan sebagai evaluasi terhadap penerapan hukum sehingga diperlukan harmonisasi hukum dalam konteks ketentuan pidana

Purpose Nationwide, upward trends exist in student issues with anxiety, stress, depression, and lowered classroom performance. As emotional awareness and emotional regulation skills are typically not addressed in professional discipline-specific courses, students experience challenges in their academic performance. This pilot research explored the effect of brief targeted classroom practices within an empowerment-based framework on domains of emotional intelligence. Method Twenty-two students in an undergraduate speech-language pathology class received a 13-week, biweekly, 15-min session of empowerment-based worksheet exercises to develop increased self-esteem, emotional awareness and regulation, and communication. Assessments of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, communication competence, and communication apprehension were conducted using validated scales, namely, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( Rosenberg, 1965 ), the Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment ( Mohapel, 2015 ), the Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale ( McCroskey & McCroskey, 2013 ), and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension ( McCroskey, 1982 ), respectively. Midsemester and semester-end student reflections were collected. Results Paired t tests were significant in self-esteem and emotional quotient, including subdomains of emotional awareness, emotional management, social emotional awareness, and relational management. Significance was noted in communication competence in the subdomains of dyad interaction, stranger interaction, and acquaintance. Students' reflection showed significant improvement in empowerment and self-rated improvements in confidence, communication, connections with peers, and trust with instructor. Conclusion Preliminary evidence demonstrates positive outcomes with integration of intentional classroom exercises to build emotional intelligence (including emotional awareness and regulation), self-esteem, and communication. This empowerment model may assist faculty in developing effective pedagogical strategies to build students' self-resiliency.
