Kann Therapie Rückfälle verhindern?: Metaanalytische Befunde zur Wirksamkeit der Sexualstraftäterbehandlung (Studien und Materialien zum Straf- und Massregelvollzug #22)

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Behandlung von verurteilten Sexualstraftätern. Im Rahmen einer Metaanalyse soll der Forschungsstand zu rückfallpräventiver Wirksamkeit der Straftäterbehandlung zusammengefaßt werden. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht einerseits, inwieweit vorliegende Behandlungsangebote für diese Tätergruppe zielführend sind, andererseits soll versucht werden, spezifische Aspekte erfolgreicher Behandlung zu isolieren.Der Autor nimmt eine allgemeine Charakterisierung von Sexualstraftätern, der Prävelanz sexueller Delinquenz und der Rückfälligkeit sowie der Folgen für die Opfer sexueller Übergriffe vor, um einen Überblick über den Gegenstandsbereich zu gewinnen und die Notwendigkeit eines angemessenen Umgangs mit Stratätern zu dokumentieren. In der darauf folgenden Konzentration auf behandlungsrelevante Charakteristika von Sexualstraftätern und den verfügbaren allgemeinen Behandlungskonzepten sollen die Grundlagen der anschließenden Wirksamkeitsüberprüfung solcher Maßnahmen gelegt werden. Es erfolgt die Darstellung einer eigenen umfassenden metaanalytischen Integration deutscher und internationaler rückfallbezogener Wirksamkeitsuntersuchungen.

Kant's Philosophy: A Study for Educators

James Scott Johnston's incisive study draws on a holistic reading of Kant: one that views him as developing and testing a complete system (theoretical, practical, historical and anthropological) with education as a vital component. As such, the book begins with an extensive overview of Kant's chief theoretical work (the Critique of Pure Reason), and from that overview distils crucial discussions (the role of practical reason; the claims of the third antinomy) for his moral theory. An extended discussion of Kant's moral and political theories and the place of pedagogy in it follow, with attention to all of Kant's important moral works as well as his chief religious work, Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason. A discussion of culture and character follows, chiefly through a discussion of Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment and Anthropology from a Pragmatic Standpoint, together with certain lectures and published essays on history and politics. Finally, an extensive discussion of Kant's published works on education, together with only recently published letters and announcements (in English), is provided. This culminates in Johnston's estimation of what a Kantian education, systematically conceived, might look like: an education that is attentive to theoretical, moral, cultural-historical, and pedagogic domains of Kant's thinking.

Karen Barad as Educator: Agential Realism and Education (SpringerBriefs in Education)

This book is about becoming touched and moved by Karen Barad’s agential realism. Karen Barad as Educator is not biographical. It is not about Barad. There is much to be learned about teaching and education research through the human and other-than-human narrative characters in Barad’s writings and way of life. Reading this book is about becoming entangled with, and being inspired by, a passionate yearning for a radical reconfiguration of education in all its settings and phases (e.g., day-care centres, schools, colleges, universities, but also homes, museums or therapy rooms). This book will appeal to lecturers, teachers, artists, therapists, parents and grandparents, funders of education research, organisers of educational events, as well as detached youth workers. In short, this book will speak to anyone interested in the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of educational encounters and who is interested in alternatives to the dominant neoliberal national curricula, educational policies and humanist teaching, research, and conference agendas. The book aims to offer a gripping account for educators to be inspired by the invigorating and elusive philosophy of agential realism with a specific focus on iterative performative practices that profoundly matter to what counts as knowledge, teaching, learning and response-able education science.

Karl Marx: The Revolutionary as Educator (SpringerBriefs in Education)

This book is an introduction to Karl Marx (1818–1883) as a radical educational thinker. Marx’s own schooling and education are examined and we see how his interest in educational issues was informed by his own experience. Educational themes in Marx’s thinking are identified: the role of education within capitalist society, the contribution of education to human development and the character of education in a future society. These are placed in a historical setting by the author and related to public debates over educational policy.Throughout his career, Marx identified education as key to the prospects of the working class. The story of this engagement adds a new dimension to the picture of his work as a philosopher, political economist and socialist revolutionary. The aspects of education that concerned Marx matched prominent features of his theoretical and political activity, and educational themes provided him with a critical application for many of his most important ideas.The author explores Marx’s work on the British factory school system, his use of evidence from the reports of school inspectors, and the contemporary movement that led to the establishment of modern systems of public schooling. The final chapter relates Marx’s thinking to questions about the place of education in today’s society, showing how relevant it is for the twenty-first century.These discussions contain new scholarship, draw on original sources and are written in a clear and readable style. Students in education courses at universities and colleges, educational researchers and teachers will find this examination of Karl Marx’s ideas concerning education both engaging and enlightening.

Karriere – Sport – Geschlecht: Empirische Analysen der hauptberuflichen Führung im organisierten Sport (Sport – Gesellschaft – Kultur)

In den, traditionell ehrenamtlich geprägten, deutschen Sportverbänden lässt sich eine zunehmende Einflussnahme und Entscheidungskompetenz des hauptberuflichen Führungspersonals beobachten. Eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit diesen „neuen“ Personalstrukturen und AkteurInnen fehlt jedoch weitestgehend. Ebenso ist die Frage der geschlechtergerechten Teilhabe an diesem Personalbereich empirisch unbeantwortet. An diese Forschungsdesiderate anknüpfend wird auf Basis eines mehrperspektivischen Theoriezugangs aus Ansätzen der Professionalisierungs-, Karriere- und Geschlechterforschung sowie eines multimethodischen Forschungsdesigns den Fragestellungen nachgegangen: 1. Wodurch zeichnen sich hauptberufliche Personalstrukturen und Karrieren von Führungskräften im organisierten Sport aus? 2. Wird bei den hauptberuflichen Personalstrukturen und Karrieren von Führungskräften im organisierten Sport Geschlecht zu einer bedeutsamen Ordnungskategorie? Wie lassen sich Prozesse und Strukturen der Relevanzwerdung von Geschlecht beschreiben und erklären? Die Autorin Michaela Werkmann ist Postdoktorandin im Arbeitsbereich Sportpädagogik des Instituts für Sport und Sportwissenschaft der Universität Freiburg. Ihre Schwerpunkte in Forschung und Lehre liegen in der sportbezogenen Geschlechter- und Diversitätsforschung, insb. in den Themenbereichen Soziale Konstruktion von Geschlecht im Sport, Karrieren und Führung in Sportorganisationen, Teilhabe am Sport und Sport(organisations)entwicklung.

Karriere ohne Studium: Zum Umdenken und Mut machen: Zehn Interviews mit erfolgreichen Nichtakademikern und renommierten Personalexperten

Karriere ohne Studium erklärt, spornt an und macht Mut: Es ist zu schaffen! Der berufliche Aufstieg gelingt auch Nichtakademikern. Beispiele dafür gibt es genug. Sehr bewusst stellt sich dieses Buch gegen den in Deutschland herrschenden Akademisierungstrend, der immer wieder junge Menschen auf falsche Wege führt, Nichtakademiker zu Ausgebildeten zweiter Klasse degradiert und unsere weltweit bewunderte duale Berufsausbildung zu ruinieren droht. Karriere ohne Studium macht deutlich, dass nicht die Bildungsstrukturen die soziale Durchlässigkeit blockieren, sondern Menschen: Politiker, Eltern, Lehrer, Nichtakademiker, Akademiker und Unternehmensentscheider. Ursachen dafür, negative Folgen des Akademisierungstrends und mögliche Lösungswege erläutern fünf renommierte Personalprofis in tiefgehenden Interviews. Sie machen vor allem Mut, Nichtakademikern bessere Chancen zu bieten. Und sie fordern, der Berufsausbildung in Deutschland wieder die Wertschätzung zukommen zu lassen, die sie verdient. In sehr persönlichen Interviews mit fünf Nichtakademikern wird klar, wie Menschen auch ohne Studium aufsteigen können. Denn dies ist in Deutschland viel besser möglich als in den meisten anderen Ländern der Welt.

Kateri of the Mohawks

FROM SAVAGE TO SAINTFirst published in 1954, this book tells the story of a Mohawk chieftain’s daughter who may soon may be canonized as North America’s first native saint.THE daughter of a Mohawk chieftain, Kateri Tekakwitha was born in 1656. Her mother, an Algonquin Christian captured in a Mohawk raid, was the brief but enduring influence in Tekakwitha’s life. Whatever chance she may have had to teach her child about Christianity was lost when both parents died in a smallpox epidemic.Tekakwitha was ten years old when she heard for the first time of Rawenniio, the white man’s God. But a full ten years passed before a Blackrobe, the Jesuit Father James de Lamberville, baptized her on Easter Sunday, 1676.She practiced her new faith with ever increasing fervor. After fleeing to the mission settlement in Canada, where she could join other Christians in the undisturbed practice of their faith, she performed extreme penances.Through a close companion, Kateri’s words have been preserved for us, revealing the spirit of love and atonement with which she entered into this voluntary mortification. Soon her spent body could no longer contain her soaring soul. She died at the age of twenty-four, leaving all near her convinced that they were witnessing the passing of a saint.
