Using power: An exploration of control work in the sport marriage

Article Abstract:

Long-term ethnographic research is employed to provide valuable insight into the power and control processes that emerge from the work/family issues of professional athletes and their wives. The possible consequences and implications of 'control management' by husbands, who have learned to define the male self and sport involvement as aspects of hegemonic masculinity and how such definitions affect their wives and marriages, are studied.

Releasing sex offenders into the community through "Circles of Support" - a means of reintegrating the "worst of the worst"

Article Abstract:

This article evaluates the effectiveness of 'Circle of Support', a program designed to reintegrate sex offenders back into the community while still holding them accountable. The authors, maintaining most members of 'Circle of Support' joined for protection, conclude that ex-offenders benefit from the program, in which they themselves indicated they would have returned to re-offending if it weren't for the program.
