Recent years have seen educationalists turning to Emmanuel Levinas when considering the relationship between ethics and education. While it is true that Levinas never speaks of ethics in relation to the practice of classroom education, nonetheless, for Levinas, ethics is a teaching, and learning can only take place in the presence of the Other. This book considers how, within the constraints of the Irish primary school education system, teachers can develop a Levinasian approach to teaching, that affords both them and the children they teach multiple opportunities throughout the school day to take up their ethical responsibility for each other as Other. Beginning from a Levinasian understanding of learning and teaching as constituting primordially relational and ethical events, and weaving the philosophies of Levinas, and the educationalists he inspires, into the approaches of philosophy with children, restorative practice, and PAX, this book suggests a unique approach to ethics in Irish primary school classrooms. The focus of this book, then, is on both the philosophical underpinnings that anchor teaching as a Levinasian, and a consideration of what practical approaches could be employed by the Levinasian teacher.

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Penology, grade: 76, University of Hull (University centre Grimsby), course: Criminological studies with social sciences, language: English, abstract: This essay examines how the terrorist group ISIS are managed within UK prisons, paying particular focus to the issues around radicalisation within mainstream UK prisons. Terrorists in prison is a highly emotive topic, often filled with myths and profound political controversy, alongside tales of abuse, negligence, risk and mismanagement. Crenshaw (1992) defined the term terrorism as a particular style of political violence, using a small number of victims to influence and scare a wider audience. As many different types of terrorist come under this umbrella, this essay will focus on one type of terrorist, the violent religious extremist group, Isis. This essay will evaluate the statement, by abolitionists, that prisons are irrational and counterproductive in relation to terrorists. This will be done by firstly evaluating critical issues around management strategies, risk assessment and the reform of imprisoned terrorists. Also, the risk of further radicalisation and de radicalisation will be explored, emphasising on the risk of keeping such prisoners. This essay will then discuss whether these strategies are successful and if not, this essay will then examine if theories of punishment can be applied to the terrorist. Her Majesty¿s Prison Service (HMPS) has aims that are crystallised in the HMPS statement ¿Her Majesty¿s Prison Service serves the public by keeping in custody those committed by the courts, our duty is to look after them with humanity and help them lead law abiding and useful lives in custody after release. However, HMPS may be able to work towards keeping this promise in regard to other prisoners but, terrorism is different from other types of crime and many terrorists are violent extremists who cause formidable challenges. Their management can pose exceptionally difficult problems in the prison setting.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Jura - Strafprozessrecht, Kriminologie, Strafvollzug, Note: 70, University of Hull (University Cente Grimsby), Veranstaltung: Criminological Studies with social sciences, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This essay investigates whether there is a distinctive police culture within UK law enforcementThe term ¿police culture¿ is used to describe a complex set of beliefs and values held within the police force. Culture has also been described as a patterned set of understandings to enable officers to cope, and adjust, to the pressures and tensions of front line policing. There has been an increasing public interest in police culture over the past forty years, this interest is mainly due to public concerns, and therefore a discussion will be attempted, to look at if, and how police culture has changed. Events such as the Scarman Report have identified many of the problems within police culture, as has the Macpherson Report, this essay will seek to evaluate whether these issues have been resolved in contemporary policing. A great number of scholars have studied police culture, such as, Reiner, Skolnick, Westley and Wilson, although most observational studies have focussed on uniformed officers, ignoring the behavioural differences and attitudes between ¿street cops¿ and ¿managerial cops¿. Reiner famously summarised that police officers have core characteristics, he described the police as pessimistic, conservative, mission orientated, isolated, suspicious and masculine. Policing has traditionally been a heterosexual, white male dominated occupation. With officers usually coming from an upper working class background, with very little formal education. This created issues for individuals who did not fit these requirements due to sexuality, ethnicity or gender. Stereotypical ¿cop culture¿ has been described as almost a pure form of hegemonic masculinity. Officers are described to be aggressive, competitive and have a very patriarchal view towards women, often using racist or sexist language. Women encountered significant difficulty gaining acceptance into the police force as ¿real¿ officers. Members of the force become extremely loyal towards each other, and became isolated from others outside of the force. Westley suggested that police officers react this way for self-protection from the hostile world, as they see it. Joining together in isolation, and secrecy, from those outside of the police force.
