In this paper, I discuss the modern socio-technological state of global social control and its representation in my stop motion animated film P19. I will compare the ways in which social control has changed and remained the same from September 11, 2001 to the present. I will discuss the surveillance and control grids permeating all communication networks and how humans are interacting with them. I will conclude with an analysis of some of my techniques and processes in stop motion animation.

This sociological study uses online survey data from one hundred and six respondents to explore how social networking websites alter the social self. Critical and symbolic interactionist sociological theory is used as a means to understand the data. This dissertation specifically concerns how social networking websites shape identity, result in a more self-reflexive presentation of self, and serve as a means of both socialization and social control.

abstract: Although much has been done to examine the relationship between unemployment and crime, little consideration has been given to the impact neighborhood-level factors such as informal social control may have on the strength of unemployment as a predictor of crime. The present study seeks to fill this gap by assessing whether the declining crime rates over a period of surging unemployment under the financial crisis are due to unchanged levels of informal social control. To examine these relationships, the present study utilizes data from Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), calls for service to the police, and the United States Census and American Community Survey. These data are longitudinal in nature covering the period 2007-2011 and are all related to Glendale, Arizona. The results indicate that the financial crisis predicts lower rates of property crimes as well as lower rates of calls for service relative to UCR crimes. Additionally, the present study finds that unemployment is a significant predictor of increases in UCR property crime, UCR violent crime, and engagement in each of my measures of informal social control. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Criminology and Criminal Justice 2016

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A anÃlise da primeira gestÃo de Manuel Cordeiro Neto na Secretaria de PolÃcia e SeguranÃa PÃblica do Estado do Cearà foi fundamental para entender o discurso e a prÃtica da polÃcia. O objetivo central desta pesquisa concentrou-se em refletir na medida policial de determinar o uso do trabalho de presos correcionais e âdesocupadosâ nas obras pÃblicas de construÃÃo e reforma como uma medida eivada de uma diretriz polÃtica calcada na concepÃÃo e nos ideais de trabalho racional e instruÃÃo, visando à construÃÃo e organizaÃÃo do Estado e a implantaÃÃo de formas de controle social no Cearà e, principalmente, na cidade de Fortaleza de 1935 a 1941. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se nos parÃmetros informados pela histÃria social, com os quais se buscou analisar as fontes documentais do APEC e dos jornais O Povo e O Nordeste. No CearÃ, os mecanismo de controle social nÃo foram adotados somente no espaÃo urbano, mas tambÃm no campo onde se deu uma das maiores expressÃes de repressÃo policial, ou seja, a extinÃÃo da comunidade do CaldeirÃo. Entendendo-se a cidade e o campo como experiÃncias histÃricas, indagamos como a funÃÃo e o poder da polÃcia foram percebidos nas relaÃÃes sociais, a partir da anÃlise da identidade dos presos correcionais, das motivaÃÃes de suas prisÃes, da manutenÃÃo de instituiÃÃes de carÃter social e da construÃÃo e reforma dos prÃdios do aparato policial; como repercutiu na sociedade um controle social baseado no discurso do trabalho e da instruÃÃo; e em que medida esse mecanismo de controle foi eficaz. / The analysis of the first management of Manuel Cordeiro Neto on police and public security Secretary of the State of Cearà was fundamental to understand the discourse and practice of the police. The central objective of the research was concentrated on reflecting the extent of police determine the use of the work of prisoners and correctional "unoccupied" on public works construction and reform as a measure riddled in a policy directive based on design and in the ideals of rational and instruction work, aimed at construction and organization of the State and the deployment of forms of social control in Cearà andmainly in the city of Fortaleza in 1935 to 1941. The methodology used is based on parameters established by social history, analyzing documentary sources of the APEC and newspapers O Povo e O Nordeste. In CearÃ, the social control mechanism were adopted not only in the urban space, but also in the country where one of the biggest expressions of police repression, i.e. the extinction of the community CaldeirÃo. Understanding the city and the countryside as historical experiences, we inquired as to function and the power of the police were perceived in social relations, starting from the analysis of the identities of the prisoners, their motivations correctional prisons, the maintenance of social institutions and the construction and renovation of the buildings of the police apparatus; as reflected in society a social control based on the speech of labour and education; and to what extent this control mechanism has been effective.

A adoção de políticas de segurança de ¿tolerância zero¿ nos EUA é expressiva destes movimentos constitutivos da globalização do capital, sob o predomínio do neoliberalismo, que convertem amplos segmentos sociais em deserdados das condições básicas à sobrevivência. Cada vez mais distanciado das políticas sociais e comprometido com o capital transnacional, o Estado neoliberal apresenta-se crescentemente fortalecido em seus mecanismos repressivos, fenômeno que alguns autores analisam como a ¿emergência do Estado Penal¿ em substituição ao chamado Estado de bem-estar social. Este trabalho, tendo como modelo os EUA, objetiva analisar em que medida tal fenômeno manifesta-se no Brasil. É relevante tal estudo no Brasil, devido à sua subordinação aos dinamismos das economias capitalistas centrais e suas graves desigualdades, onde os custos sociais e políticos do modo como o capital se reproduz na atualidade são muito mais dramáticos / Abstract: The worldwide capitalism has undergone transformations in recent years pointing to simultaneous movements of privatization as well as social and economic deregulation, attacks on the democratic rights and strengthening of the coercive State apparatus. The adoption of ¿zero tolerance¿ security policies in the USA expresses these movements which have been represented by capital globalization, under the neoliberalism supremacy, which converts wide social segments into disinherited of survival basic conditions. The neoliberal State is getting distant of social policies, more committed with the transnational capital and it has presented itself increasingly strong in its repressive mechanisms, phenomenon that some authors analyze as the ¿emergency of the Penal State¿ in substitution for the Welfare State. This present work has the USA as a model and its objectives are to analyze how that phenomenon reveals itself in Brazil. This study in Brazil has been considered relevant due to its subordination to the dynamism of the central capitalism economies and its severe inequalities, where the social and political costs of the way capital reproduces itself nowadays are much more dramatic / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

Master of Arts / Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / Dana M. Britton / During the past twenty-five years, the number of prison programs in which inmates train dogs has increased rapidly. A lack of systematic studies to address the effects of these programs on staff and inmates has led to limited, anecdotal accounts of the impact of these programs on correctional institutions and their occupants. In addition, an analysis of differences in these effects for men and women is missing. This paper proposes to bridge this gap through qualitative research conducted in two Kansas prisons (a men’s and a women’s institution) in which inmates train assistance dogs and dogs made available for adoption by the general public. Drawing primarily on the works of Erving Goffman, Michel Foucault, and Jill McCorkel, I focus on the mechanisms of social control and resistance within these programs and their effect on the inmates participating in the program, utilizing a gendered analysis throughout. Using the experiences of the men and women in these programs, as well as those of correctional staff and community members, I propose that these programs provide an important outlet for resistance for the participants.
