Dear readers,
The Institute is glad to present issue no. 5 of Oñati Socio-Legal Series, vol. 11, titled "Youth violence: De-escalation strategies and socio-legal responses" and edited by Murray Lee (University of Sydney), Asher Flynn (Monash University) and Mark Halsey (Flinders University). The issue is the result of a workshop held at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law in July 2019. According to the editors, "it seeks to reflect the rich tapestry of factors, contexts and processes that can place young people at risk of offending, or, perhaps even more importantly, at risk of criminalisation, as presented in the special issue collection. We reflect on the range of perspectives presented across the special issue on youth violence and the de-escalation of such violence, which seek to advance knowledge, and identify strategies for regulating and preventing this behaviour".
We also published no. 4 (Minority families and the law: Interactions of ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities with law and state institutions) back on 1 August, and I'm also inviting you to browse that very interesting issue, edited by Iris Sportel (Radboud University Nijmegen). This special issue draws on case studies from different types of minorities, including migrant and post-colonial but also religious minorities, from a range of different countries, which will give further insights in intersections of ethnicity, culture, nationality, and religion The contributions to this special issue come from different European countries, and focus on different minorities. This rich diversity enables this special issue to compare and analyse encounters of minority families with the state across different contexts. There are contributions on Finland, Belgium , the Netherlands, and Italy; on Muslims, ISIS-families, young forced migrants, Filipino mothers, and various religious, cultural, and ethnic minorities.
As usual, feel free to read, download, and share!
Best regards,
Leire
