AbstractUtilizing a police dataset of a fundraising Ponzi scheme in China, we establish referrer-investor links and examine how investor affinity in terms of gender and age affects the way the scheme spreads and the way investors suffer losses. We find that female or older investors are more susceptible to investor affinity. Specifically, female or older investors are more likely to be referred into the scheme by female or older investors. Female or older investors tend to occupy lower layers in the investor hierarchy of the scheme and they are more likely to occupy lower layers if they are referred into the scheme by female or older investors. Consequently, female or older investors suffer more losses if they are referred into the scheme by female or older investors. We conclude that gender and age-based investor affinities are especially pronounced among female or older investors in a Ponzi scheme.

En esta investigación se indaga en torno a posibles vínculos entre el género, la edad y la violencia implícita en los homicidios que acontecen en México. En primer lugar, a partir de diversos registros estadísticos, se esboza el grado de responsabilidad penal y de victimización de los hombres jóvenes ante dicho ilícito. En segundo lugar, se analiza la manera como diversas corrientes criminológicas han explicado la problemática antes comentada; es decir, cómo han tenido en cuenta el género masculino y la edad o, más específicamente, las masculinidades y la juventud. Al respecto, se plantea la visión aportada desde el enfoque positivista, el sociológico y de la diferencia sexual. En tercer lugar, y para finalizar, desde esta última perspectiva se cuestionan las estrategias preventivas que el gobierno mexicano ha puesto en marcha para evitar la sobremortalidad masculina en el delito de homicidio de los jóvenes mexicanos. This research analyzes the possible links between gender, age and violence in the homicides that take place in Mexico. Based on statistical records, the degree of criminal responsibility and victimization of young men in this crime is outlined. Secondly, the way in which different criminology perspectives have explained the aforementioned problem is analyzed, specifically, how they have taken into account the male gender and age; about it, three different approaches are presented: the positivist, sociological and sexual difference. To conclude, from this last perspective, the preventive strategies that the Mexican government has set in motion to prevent excessive number of male deaths due to homicide are questioned.

In this article I argue that critical phenomenology, informed by critical race and intersectional scholarship, offers a useful lens through which to consider suicide and self-harm among men. To illustrate this, I draw on a narrative informed analysis of the accounts of 10 men who had experienced self-harm, read through Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology. Two themes are emphasised: gendered, raced, classed bodies that are (unexpectedly) stopped; and bodies that, despite being stopped, still ‘do’ – enacting violence and control against self and other. Critical phenomenology can support much needed examination of the complex ways in which socioeconomic class, race, gender and age structure experiences of distress among different social groups. This approach enables a simultaneous examination of the way that privilege and oppression may shape both the experience of distress, and the way it is responded to – including through violence against the self, and against others.

This article explores subjective perceptions and constructions of “risk” and “protection” among ultra-Orthodox Jewish children aged 10–16 in Israel. Eight focus groups were conducted, with a total of 30 ultra-Orthodox children (boys and girls). Our analysis indicates that the children’s subjective perceptions of “risk” and “protection” coincided with four fundamental domains: the physical, the emotional, the political, and the spiritual. The findings highlight that—from the perspective of children—culture, religion, spirituality, and other macro socio-political contexts, in addition to gender and age, are factors that function simultaneously to shape the way in which “risk” and “protection” are constructed.

The content of praise given to children co-determines their effectiveness. Certain ways of praising may not only be ineffective, but may even be harmful to children. The aim of the study was to determine which praise methods, categorized by content, are most often used by mothers of young children and whether their frequency is related to the age and gender of their children. 465 mothers of children aged 1–7 were examined using the Questionnaire of Ways of Praise (Kwestionariusza Sposobów Chwalenia). Participants reported most often praising the effect of children’s activity, then the way the child performed the activity. They described what they considered praiseworthy, formulated passing praise, and emphasized the importance of the child’s behavior for other people slightly less often. They rarely declared praise by comparing the child with other children. Older children were more often asked what they think when being praised, were more often compared with other children, and put as an example. Younger children were more often praised in person. The gender and age of the children were important for the use of praise regardless of the child’s behavior.

The present article analyzes the crucial impact that artisan forms of organizing work had in the production of early cotton factories. By examining the case of the Sirés factory in Barcelona, this article argues that dividing work by gender and age and working with relatives, all traditional practices in an artisan shop, allowed eighteenth-century factory owners to face the challenges that production posed. The example of the Sirés factory also offers a picture of early industrialization that challenges the long-standing argument that artisan and factory forms of production were antagonistic. Factory owners organized their production and work in ways that replicated the way artisans had long produced and worked in their shops. Moreover, in shops and factories alike, production depended not just on the work of individuals, but also on that of their relatives. Parents and children, husbands and wives – all brought the flexibility of traditional artisan forms of organizing work to the new factories.

Based on the fact lately, there were some methods of seeking treasure in social life nowadays. One of them was Money Game (the term of Money Game actually never found in any encyclopedia neither Wikipedia, but found only for interpretation of Ponzi Scheme Business), through members’ or investors’ recruitment. They were promised getting profit from their membership and investment, more than any bank even conventional or sharia banking ever promised. The last case of Money Game method was Dream for Freedom (D4F), found in year 2015 and ended in April 2016. The founder offered the extra ordinary profit and benefit, such as 1% profit per a day from member’s investment. This condition successfully recruited hundred thousands of members, from the low rank of education to the high one. Indonesian’s Government such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) actually has been preventing the people from being victims and spreading of Money Game’s methods, but still the founder of any Money Game find the way to eliminate those preventing ways. Therefore Government has to try another way, through involving another institutional, even government’s Institutional or Social’s Institutional and organizations.

The importance of this work for scholarship on tragedy is explored from different angles. A better understanding of child figures can help develop new ideas about adolescent figures, as well as changing the way we view issues of politics, ethnicity, gender, and age categories. Brief comment is made on how this analysis may influence wider work on children in ancient literature, and work on the engagement between drama and society. Final remarks consider the ethical status of work on children, and how the paradigm shift suggested in this volume may contribute to the ongoing dialogue between the ancient and modern world.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Abstract The purpose of human cognition depends on the problem people try to solve. Defining the purpose is difficult, because people seem capable of representing problems in an infinite number of ways. The way in which the function of cognition develops needs to be central to our theories.
