Best regards, Stacy Congratulations to Naomi Sugie of Princeton University, Winner of the 2011 CJDD Student Paper Competition for her paper entitled, “Elderly Criminals and Aging Populations: Extending the Life Course Perspective on Crime.” The award committee consisted of Lloyd Klein (Chair) and Michael Adorjan. The theme of this year’s annual SSSP meeting is service sociology. In the words of current SSSP President Javier Trevino, “Service sociology is a sociology of social problems intended to ameliorate conditions of life for those in need of assistance, and to ensure and promote the welfare of the community. Motivated by care and compassion a service-oriented sociology is aimed at helping people meet their pressing social needs. As such, service sociology involves the application of sociological knowledge combined with the expression of humanitarian sentiment in neighborly service.” More information on the meeting can be found online via: http://www.sssp1.org/ DIVISION SESSIONS Date: Friday, August 19 Time: 10:30 AM - 12:10 PM THEMATIC Session 10: Servicing Drug Users: From Harm Reduction to Drug Treatment Room: Elko Sponsors: Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Drinking and Drugs Organizer: Avelardo Valdez, University of Houston Presider: Sheigla B.

Michael Adorjan, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Hong Kong, has a new publication (April 2011): “Emotions Contests and Reflexivity in the News: Examining Discourse on Youth Crime in Canada,” Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, v. 40(2):168-198. Bruce Arrigo, Professor of Criminology, Law, and Society, at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, announces his forthcoming book (co-authored with Heather Bersot and Brian Sellers): The Ethics of Total Confinement A Critique of Madness, Citizenship, and Social Justice. New York, NY: Oxford University Press. In this three-part volume, the authors make the case that several inter-related “conditions of control” maintain the phenomena of captivity and risk management. Such conditions impede social justice and citizenship. This book analyzes and critiques the constructs of offenders and victims; self and society; therapeutic and restorative; health; harm; and community. The authors also examine three “total confinement” case law data sets, on which they based their assertions. The volume concludes with recommendations for future research and reform within institutions, programs, and social policy. The book is scheduled for release this month or in June.
