David Gadd sorts out the legends about the Bloomsbury Group--who they were, what they believed in, what influences they had on art and literature, and what became of them. The group was brought together by friendship and mutual understanding rather than a common outlook. They also shared the tendency to apply reason to every aspect of life. If they thought the rules were stupid, they broke them. It is this practice that earned them the reputation of being immoral. Gadd documents the temperment and genius of thje individual personalities, their complex relationships, and their affairs.

Teen & Young Adult

Surveys reveal that domestic abuse is more commonplace among teenagers and young adults than older populations, yet surprisingly little is written about young men’s involvement in it. Reporting on a three-year study based in the UK, this book explores young men’s involvement in domestic abuse, whether as victims, perpetrators or witnesses to violent behaviors between adults. Original survey data, focus group material and in-depth biographical interviews are used to make the case for a more thoroughgoing engagement with the meanings young men come to attribute to violent behavior, include the tendency among many to configure violence within families as "fights" that call for acts of male heroism. The book also highlights the dearth of services interventions for young men prone to domestic abuse, and the challenges of developing responsive practice in this area. Each section of the book highlights further online resources that those looking to conduct research in this area or apply its insights in practice can draw upon.

Psychosocial Criminology

The book critiques existing psychological and sociological theories before outlining a more adequate understanding of the criminal offender. It sheds new light on a series of crimes―rape, serial murder, racial harassment, ′jack-rolling′ (mugging of drunks), domestic violence―and contemporary criminological issues such as fear of crime, cognitive-behavioral interventions and restorative justice. Authors David Gadd and Tony Jefferson bring together theories about identity, subjectivity, and gender to provide the first comprehensive account of their psychoanalytically inspired approach. For each topic, the theoretical perspective is supported by individual case studies, which are designed to facilitate the understanding of theory and to demonstrate its application to a variety of criminological topics.
