The nature of adult friendships is characterized by a complex interplay of change and stability as individuals navigate various life stages and personal transformations. Unlike the friendships of childhood, which often rely on proximity and shared experiences, adult friendships tend to evolve more dynamically, reflecting changes in personal identities, interests, and life circumstances. As adults grow, the need to adapt friendships to align with their evolving selves becomes crucial. This adaptation is not always smooth, and it raises questions about the expectations we hold regarding the longevity and maintenance of these relationships.

Free Download Serena Franchi, "Doing Shifts: The Role of Correctional Officers "
English | ISBN: 303144552X | 2024 | 198 pages | EPUB, PDF | 466 KB + 2 MB
This book offers an incisive account of correctional officers’ daily practices, their role and how they represent themselves in relation to the prison, and by extension, the state. Drawing on ethnographic research undertaken in an Italian prison, Doing Shifts explores how correctional officers’ perspectives and shared views reproduce and reinforce working behaviors with specific administrative and bureaucratic features. It explores how global penal trends are enacted in a local context and how the prison systems plays into our understanding of institutional and administrative power. It advances the discussion on organizational and institutional power through the lens of social control and street-level bureaucracy literature. It also explores gender variations in the discretional use of correctional officers’ power. This book has a cross-disciplinary appeal for criminologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists and to policy-makers.
