It includes information regarding the nature and extent of crime and the policies used in dealing with crime and criminals. Criminology is sometimes defined more narrowly to include only the information regarding the characteristics of criminals; the policies are then called penology. \n\\nCrime is an important area of research and study because it raises the fundamental questions about civil liberties and the power of the state. The idea of punishment although originally designed to protect the members of a civil society from harm was also meant to help reform the wrong-doer to abide by the laws which safeguard the interests of society. \n\\nCriminology is primarily sociological - it is concerned with crime as a personal and group phenomenon. However the factors that can contribute to crime could be economic, psychological, physiological, chemical, educational, etc. Hence criminological studies reveal several facts which help understand the human behaviour in general. \n\\nThe book is written in a very lucid and simple language so that it can be useful not only for academicians, students and research scholars but equally important for social thinkers and the common man.\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oryson Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51453420536086,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8905\/3974\/files\/Criminology-Principles-And-Concepts-Cover-F-scaled.jpg?v=1781937048"},{"product_id":"industrial-sociology","title":"Industrial Sociology","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe live in a fast-changing world. The workplace has not escaped these rapid changes, especially in this age of globalisation and trade liberalisation. Workplaces have had to restructure in order to compete effectively in the global market. Industrial sociology is a branch of sociology that looks at the impact of labour and industry on society, as well as the ways in which society impacts industrial forces. The perspectives used within this discipline vary over time, and given the practical value of understanding this relationship, this type of study has often been very well supported. There are many topics within this field that merit individual investigation, including technologies used, worker relations, and even subjects as broad as globalisation. Sociology often overlaps with other similar social sciences and may borrow theories when convenient from psychology, anthropology, and philosophy. Industry is an area in which the people being studied have a monetary interest in the results of sociological studies because these studies can help improve business practice. This can be an advantage for researchers in this field, but it can also lead to interference. \n\\nThis essential textbook effectively explains and justifies the use of the sociological imagination to understand the nature of institutions of work, occupations, organisations, management and employment and how they are changing in today's times. \n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oryson Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51453420699926,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8905\/3974\/files\/Industrial-Sociology-Cover-F-scaled.jpg?v=1781937067"},{"product_id":"educational-sociology","title":"Educational Sociology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sociology of education is the study of how public institutions and individual experiences affect education and its outcomes. It is most concerned with the public schooling systems of modern industrial societies, including the expansion of higher, further, adult, and continuing education. Education has often been seen as a fundamentally optimistic human endeavour characterised by aspirations for progress and betterment. It is understood by many to be a means of overcoming handicaps, achieving greater equality and acquiring wealth and social status. Education is perceived as a place where children can develop according to their unique needs and potential. It is also perceived as one of the best means of achieving greater social equality. Many would say that the purpose of education should be to develop every individual to their full potential and give them a chance to achieve as much in life as their natural abilities allow. Few would argue that any education system accomplishes this goal perfectly. Some even take a particularly negative view, arguing that the education system is designed with the intention of causing the social reproduction of inequality. \n\\nThe present book deals with the teachers' role, possessing the vast knowledge of socialisation, social class influences, the teaching ethics, new technologies, research perspective, use of internet, television, management and professional accreditation in information technology etc.\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oryson Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51453420732694,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8905\/3974\/files\/Educational-Sociology-Cover-min.jpg?v=1781937082"},{"product_id":"textbook-on-social-work-and-community-organization","title":"Textbook On Social Work And Community Organization","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoverty alleviation is the most important objective of economic planning. The approach adopted to address this issue includes measures such as creation of employment opportunities, income generation activities and growth promotion. However underdeveloped infrastructure such as power, transport, irrigation, water supply, sewerage and lack of accessibility to health facilities have impaired economic growth and the poverty eradication drive. At the same time, environmental problems especially climate change are impacting all people alike globally. The shrinking of forest cover and rise in urbanisation are causing both river water and air pollution to rise. \n\n\\nWater resources management and development are central to sustainable agricultural growth and poverty reduction. Currently, integrated water resources management is highly emphasised for enhancing food security, poverty eradication, economic growth and rural upliftment in developing countries. Further, most of the developing countries have insufficient hydraulic infrastructure due to which governments and international funding agencies need to assist these countries in developing and maintaining adequate number of well-performing hydraulic structures and in mobilising public and private financing, while meeting environmental and social standards. The below-optimal performance of the existing irrigation systems is of serious concern to farmers who depend on them for their livelihoods. This book covers the many aspects of social work and community organisation and would be beneficial to students and researchers.\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\n\\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oryson Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51453425320214,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8905\/3974\/files\/Textbook-On-Social-Work-And-Community-Organization-Cover-min.jpg?v=1781937441"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.orysonpress.com\/collections\/sociology.oembed","provider":"orysonpress","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
