Synopsis
This book explores the ongoing and individual desistance journeys of ex-offenders during re-integration into society, introducing
nuanced and rich data around the growing interest in desistance and what leads someone to move away from crime.

Through in-depth interviews and his own lived experiences as a prisoner, the author highlights the importance of Higher Education
in the desistance process as a conduit for change and rehabilitation. He explores the complex life process of the ex-offender,
investigating the introspective and existential experiences that lead individuals towards an ongoing desistance journey in which they
re-evaluate their sense of selves and develop new identities.
The author argues that in the current system, the focus on crime loses sight of the more complex and unending process of
desistance. While becoming accepted by society is essential to desistance, society creates many barriers that prevent this from
happening and the criminal justice system provides no formal rite of passage for ex-offenders attempting to re-integrate into society,
thus leading to an unending transformative cycle of desistance.

This book seeks to synthesise and critically review desistance theory as it has emerged within contemporary criminology, and enlarge
its capacity to engage with the complexities of the lives analysed in this research.

Synopsis
Building Business Value through Talent uniquely describes how a CEO and CHRO can accelerate business growth by working
together to design and operationalize value-driven talent strategies.
CEOs focus on decisions that will drive the business strategy forward while HR leaders routinely try to satisfy the needs of the largest
number of employees. Often, the two align superficially or in administrative ways – and to put out the occasional flash fire. This book
changes that dynamic by unlocking the investment potential of HR and empowering an unprecedented, tangible and measurable
partnership between CEOs and CHROs. Framed as a product guide, the "product" is visualized as the HR Operating Model necessary
to succeed in our modern economy: a business-based talent planning and investment strategy to sustain talent solutions and
intellectual capital growth.
This product guide provides the tools and insights that business leaders are seeking in order to win the ever more challenging battles
in their war for talent. Learning and adopting these winning practices will provide a visible testament to the effective leadership of
any CEO and CHRO team.

Synopsis
When analysing customer experience, there is frequently a disconnect in perception between the kind of customer experience senior
leadership figures believe their organizations deliver and what consumers actually say they receive.
Crafting Customer Experience Strategy: Lessons from Asia looks at how Customer Experience Management can be vital in providing

create customer experiences by design through utilizing data, as well as the importance of engaging with the voice of the customer,
the employee and the process in building a positive customer journey.
In this book a range of real world insights are scrutinized from a variety of leading organizations; chapters explore a wide range of
themes including how organizations create experiences, understanding the customer journey, emotions and customer experience,
and designing new and improved experiences. This is essential reading for marketing scholars and practitioners looking for insights
into improving their customer's experiences.

Synopsis
Rural-oriented scholarship in criminology is growing, in part motivated by governmental, community and academic recognition that,
despite stereotypes of the 'rural idyll', crime and justice are significant issues in the rural landscape.

Using the notion of 'crossroads' to provide a unique lens through which to examine realities of rural crime, this edited collection
provides a dynamic understanding of the nature of rural life and ways in which transgression manifests itself in the context of a
presumed rural-urban divide. Common myths regarding rural crime are challenged by exploring its diverse dimensions from a central
conceptual focal point; the many 'roads' that lead into and out of rural spaces, whether literal, virtual or figurative. With a focus on
the Australian countryside, the authors examine issues such as drug abuse, persecution of wildlife, rural penal practices, and health
in Indigenous communities.
The first substantive edited collection to focus on notions of the mobility of crime within, to and from rural spaces, this
interdisciplinary collection draws together contributions from criminology, politics, sociology, Indigenous studies, literature and
anthropology to significantly contribute to our understanding of rural crime.

Synopsis
Enterprise Risk Management, governance systems and accounting practices are currently being applied to businesses without full
coordination between them. The incorrect use of ERM models all over Europe could be hindering the potential benefits from its
correct implementation and could constitute a barrier to the consolidation of a proper risk culture.

Enterprise Risk Management in Europe advances understanding of ERM in Europe, providing a novel and unique set of perspectives
on the ongoing dynamics between ERM and corporate processes. The contributors provide an in-depth analysis of the research
benefits for the countries examined, looking at why, when and how ERM has developed over time. This book focuses on practical
issues and identifying existing knowledge gaps, offering a fresh comprehension of the cultural and contextual factors surrounding
its inception and further expansion. Also largely discussed is the role played by national and international regulatory and economic
circumstances.
Enterprise Risk Management in Europe is an essential guide for researchers, practitioners and policy makers both in and beyond
European borders.

Synopsis
Funerary Practices in Serbia is the first book to offer a concise yet highly informative study of the historical development and current
state of funerary practices in Serbia.

Situated in a constant dynamic struggle between traditional cultural customs and modern legislation, funerary practices in Serbia
represent a particularly interesting field of research. In this study, Pavićević combines an investigation of long-term developments
and recent changes to place contemporary practices in their wider historical context, emphasizing the complicated geo-political,
demographic and cultural factors that have shaped funeral traditions in Serbia over time. In particular, she demonstrates how the
country's frequent changing of borders and life under the rule of two great empires - the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman - fostered
the emergence of colorful funerary traditions, such as open-casket burial and vigils around the body, that persist to this day in spite
of government attempts to modernize funerary practice since the end of the 19th century. The book also provides illuminating
insights into the legal framework surrounding current funerary practices in Serbia, the relationship between the state and private
sectors, the ownership of cemeteries and gravesites, the role of churches and religious communities, religious and ethnic variations
in funerary culture and traditions, and the development of modern cremation practices in Serbia.
This book provides a useful and original resource for policymakers and practitioners interested in the historic, legal, technical and
professional aspects of the Serbian funerary industry, and to researchers in cultural anthropology, history, sociology and cultural
management.

Synopsis
The way we think about things matters just as much as what we think about things.
This timely text investigates the work of educational philosopher and psychologist Jerome Bruner through the areas of knowledge
representation, meaning-making, education and dispute. What people represent to others might not always be what they actually
think. However, accepting this limitation, the aim of this book is to offer a means of examining representations about a given subject
and an understanding of how those representations might change over time in response to learning, crisis, and encounter with
'other'.

Myers offers an educational intervention that invites development of representations in response to difference. Presenting a new
framework for examining controversy between worldviews and a method for creating space for difference, the book brings this into
dialogue with education and research, conflict resolution and religion. This framework maps representations and proposes a
method of engaging the psychological processes involved in changing representations.

An excellent resource of interest to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students alike in education, sociology and
philosophy related disciplines.

Synopsis
The life cycle of companies and enterprises, at present, is short-lived due to rapid social and technological changes. Despite the
growing awareness on the importance of knowledge management (KM) among academic researchers, it is still not widely practiced
in industry. Why is this?

Most KM programs emphasize the importance of capturing, retaining, and sharing organisational knowledge amongst their
stakeholders. The beneficial effect of these programs is rarely felt immediately, which often results in senior management avoiding
prioritising KM initiatives. To overcome this hurdle in implementing KM an approach that includes the assessment of knowledge risk
factors and the disastrous effect on the daily operation of the company is explored.

This book is the first attempt of its kind to provide a pragmatic view to launch knowledge risk management at the grassroot level,
with steps by steps on what should be the mission and practical skills needed for a KM practitioner. Another surprise of this book is
the numerous cases, examples and data that are brough about from the real business world. For business practitioners, KM
researchers and those in HR, risk management, management accounting and Leadership this work is a must for expanding their
understanding of Knowledge Management and knowledge risks.

Synopsis
Law and economics research has had an enormous impact on the laws of contracts, torts, property, crimes, corporations, and
antitrust, as well as public regulation and fundamental rights.

The Law and Economics of Patent Damages, Antitrust, and Legal Process examines several areas of important research by a variety
of international scholars. It contains technical papers on the appropriate way to estimate damages in patent disputes, as well as
methods for evaluating relevant markets and vertically integrated firms when determining the competitive effects of mergers and
other actions. There are also papers on the implication of different legal processes, regulations, and liability rules on consumer
welfare, which range from the impact of delays in legal decisions in labour cases in France to issues of criminal liability related to the
use of artificial intelligence.

This volume of Research in Law and Economics is a must-read for researchers and professionals of patent damages, antitrust,
labour, and legal process.

Synopsis
Part of the series Exploring Effective Leadership Practices through Popular Culture, Urick examines mentorship and learning,
transformational and servant leadership, culture, bases of power, leader emergence, teams, motivation, and more.

Leadership in Middle-Earth explores J.R.R. Tolkien's exemplary leadership and management examples evident in his tales such as
'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings', examining mentorship, team dynamics, mindfulness, servant leadership, influence and
ethical leadership through solid academic theories and management practices. Readers will become familiar and comfortable with
academically supported leadership concepts to adjust their own behaviors, becoming more successful in the process.

By examining leadership theories through the context of popular culture, the book encourages readers to think creatively about how
they might adjust their own management approach. The series aims to bring examples, theory and methodology of leadership to life
by analysing academic concepts through popular culture examples that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

Synopsis
Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume of Studies in Media and Communications features social science research that examines the practices,
patterns, and messages related to representations of crime in mass media around the world. Chapters focus on a wide range of
fact-based and fictional accounts of criminality as depicted in print and broadcast news, documentary and video-on-demand films,
and television programs.

Stories about crime and criminality have long been the mainstay of news and entertainment media content, and the intersection of
crime and media is a common topic in scholarly research. Moreover, substantial evidence indicates that these media depictions are
highly influential as people in economically advanced societies - who tend to have little personal experience with crime-form
perceptions about criminality, crime rates, characteristics of criminals, and even their own likelihood of victimization. Thus, ongoing
examination of crime images within various types of mass media aids in understanding the associated messages and meanings that
are disseminated to consumers. This volume will enhance the knowledge of junior and senior scholars in criminology, sociology,
journalism, and communication/media studies, particularly because of its inclusion of crime stories in a variety of formats and that
represent media content from nations spanning five continents.

Synopsis
Our current economic systems have become addicted to growth at all costs, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). They
assume that GDP growth is synonymous with increased wellbeing and prosperity. However, this approach has led to growing
inequality, an escalating climate crisis, and the depletion of natural and social capital. Our approach to economics and development
needs to be fundamentally transformed.

New Challenges for Future Sustainability and Wellbeing is a collection of 25 studies about sustainability and the related challenges,
such as income, wealth, social aspects, the environment, education and regional equality that influence the pace of economic
development and deteriorates well-being of people and organisations all over the world.

This book provides a platform for scholars, researchers and professionals from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss,
highlight and exchange ideas on these challenges and prospects for both economic and business development.

Synopsis
The tourism industry provides a vital lifeline in helping to develop and enhance the economic growth of cities, states, and nations,
but there is growing concern internationally about how overtourism in certain regions is having an adverse impact on a number of
tourist destinations.
Overtourism as Destination Risk: Impacts and Solutions presents a range of researcher perspectives discussing current issues in the
overtourism debate, including unplanned expansion and construction, environmental imbalance and damage, pollution and
deforestation, as well as measures and possible solutions to tackle the problem of overtourism and its spread. This book specifically
focuses on Coimbra in Portugal, Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Shimla in India.

This book foregrounds the tourist's responsibility to respect destinations and provides an in-depth assessment of possible risk
factors and the conflicted role of the media and marketing organizations as image-makers of tourist destinations. This book is
essential reading for academics and researchers from the fields of tourism studies, social sciences, environmental sciences,
humanities and relevant disciplines.

Synopsis
Over the past three decades, guidance on the selection of art in hospitals has suggested realistic art that depicts soothing and
comforting images such as tranquil waters, green vegetation, flowers, and open spaces. Based on these findings, curators have
been cautioned to avoid art with uncertain meaning that risks upsetting viewers in stressful states. However, some hospitals exhibit
ambiguous or abstract art and cite anecdotal evidence of its appropriateness for healthcare settings. More recent research is going
beyond anecdotal evidence, and indicates that the ambiguity of meaning in abstract compositions can have positive effects.

'Purpose-built' Art in Hospitals is built on an international study of artwork in hospitals around the globe. Exploring 'purpose-built'
(specially commissioned) artwork in hospitals through the dual lens of an artist and healthcare professional, Rollins identities 15
specific 'purposes' of visual artwork in hospitals and presents a compelling case for their use that is grounded in research. The book
builds the reader's understanding of the many functions of artwork in hospitals, with the goal of encouraging greater variety in art
offerings to better serve the many diverse needs of patients, families, visitors and staff within the hospital environment.

Synopsis
Using an external examiner in an institution is not a new phenomenon. Whilst there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach, how can
researchers collaborate on key developments in maintaining higher education standards in order to overcome challenges and
cultivate best practice together?

This book considers the external examination challenges and best practice examples in academia in various parts of the world. With
several chapters that cover examples of mitigating disadvantage and creating opportunities without compromising the quality
assurance process, the authors examine how universities are engaged in safeguarding procedures at the same time as enhancing
the quality standards. Providing a comprehensive international focus, this volumes showcases how we might make external
examining a rigorous process which is fair, reliable and consistent across the globe.

Synopsis
Microaggressions, complex identities, polarized belief systems, pandemic interruptions-- these are just a few of the things the
modern classroom holds. What if we could work with what emerges in the moment instead of seeing it as an unplanned disruption?
Teaching from the Emerging Now explores how we combine our intention with what naturally emerges to create inclusive, dynamic
classrooms amid constant change.
The Intentional Emergence model combines Case-in-Point and Adaptive Leadership with compassion and culturally responsive
pedagogy to develop a new teaching and learning style. This approach takes the fear out of being surprised, provides concrete ways
to both support and challenge students, and reimagines the classroom as a living leadership laboratory. Beyond bridging theory to
practice, by rethinking the classroom from a place to impart knowledge to a shared space of co-creation, faculty, teachers, and
trainers are better able to meet the increasingly diverse needs of learners.

Synopsis
Against the backdrop of disintegrative tendencies in the EU, where Brexit perhaps most profoundly captures the spirit of current
developments in the EU, this book offers a detailed understanding of the key issues, challenges, and opportunities that educators
across Europe and beyond encounter on a daily basis when teaching EU-related course content at higher education institutions.
Written by a team of international academics and practitioners engaged with teaching, researching, and explaining European
integration to successive generations of students, this edited collection showcases expert voices on the issues and developments
central in the debate on how to teach the EU efficiently today. Using a wide variety of case studies, the chapters examine how novel
approaches to teaching and learning, and especially technology-enhanced tools and methods, can lead to better teaching and
learning outcomes in the Brexit age. A cutting-edge collection of insights from experts teaching and researching the EU, this book
will serve as a timely resource for educators, researchers, administrators, and decision-makers.

Synopsis
Understanding Decision-Making in Educational Contexts presents 'problem cases' confronting school leaders in real settings, and
illustrates the multiple approaches that school leaders draw upon to navigate complex and challenging decision-making contexts.
Although school leaders draw upon knowledge and instruments that are available to them, the approach used for this volume is
decidedly Popperian in nature.
In this collection, each chapter presents a case study problem, a discussion of the salient concepts and principles of the case, an
exploration of problem formulation, and concludes with a decision analysis using a Popperian approach to problem solving. Each
chapter concludes with lessons learned and the expected decision-making skills acquired from the critical analysis of each
educational challenge using the Objective Knowledge Growth Framework, a Popperian decision-making approach.

This book is essential reading for anyone who aspires to take on a leadership role in a school setting, or is curious to develop their
understanding of leadership problems.

Synopsis
Voices of Teenage Transplant Survivors introduces illness narratives from an unrecognized patient population: recipients of heart,
liver and kidney transplants. The book offers unique patient narratives by adolescents who use poetry to explore issues surrounding
the changing body, independence, identity, and mortality. Underpinned by a message of healing as they voice hope amid
uncertainty, the teens’ narratives helped them construct new identities reflected in the term they chose to describe themselves:
miracle-like.
While the physical and emotional trials of waiting on transplant lists are featured in popular media, the struggles recipients face years
after surgery are not. Organ rejection looms in their future, as do side effects. Illuminating the physical, psychological, and existential
challenges confronted by these adolescents, like others with chronic illness regardless of age, the book details the poetry workshops
where they articulated experiences silenced by family, friends and the culture of medicine. Close readings and analyses of their
writings are included, along with writing prompts and references to narrative medicine theory. The book offers something new for
medical and health professionals, medical humanities researchers, students and the public.

Synopsis
What is really biological about the "biological clock" and how can we account for its embodied reality from a feminist perspective?
Addressing long-standing questions about the articulation of the biological and the social in the making of bodies and identities, this
book questions the nature of reproductive ageing, a taken for granted "fact of life" at the core of reproductive biomedicine.
Opening the black box of the biological, it makes a way between essentialism and constructivism with the aim of accounting for its
materiality, while also illuminating its political implications. Since the 1970s, alarming discourses about declining fertility and the
difficulties of balancing work and family have flourished in Western countries, putting women’s reproductive age and the fertility
decline to the centre of public and medical attention. Reproductive biomedicine constitutes a specific domain invested with hopes
for technological and medical answers and a new market for fertility extension technologies, such as social egg freezing, is
developing. By following the biological-social entanglements (or the naturecultures) of age-related infertility in the science and
medicine of reproduction, this study explores how age materializes and documents what happens when reproduction meets
ageing. Deeply transdisciplinary, it questions what is fixed about the biology of the fertility decline in a way which adds complexity to
debates about the biomedicalization of reproductive ageing.
