Summary: This article argues that imprisonment creates a period of time that lacks significance. Based on longitudinal interviews conducted with 35 individuals sentenced to typical prison sentences in England, the article emphasizes that some people view prison as a temporary space for removal and envision a return to their normal lives after release, while others try to reinvent themselves within the prison environment, but fail to sustain the change due to the disconnect from their personal experiences. Therefore, the article calls for a new understanding of prisons as an institution, highlighting their non-life nature and the importance of surrounding context.

Summary: The past decade has seen a surge in anti-corruption activities in post-Soviet oil-dependent countries. However, the existing literature has paid limited attention to comparing these campaigns. In this study, a mixed-methods research design is used to analyze Russia and Kazakhstan, combining fixed-effects panel data analysis with paired-case qualitative analysis. The study finds that anti-corruption policies are driven by either economic necessity or the desire to secure power and regime legitimacy. Consequently, the COVID-19 crisis and drop in oil prices are likely to lead to major anti-corruption campaigns targeting high-level officials in oil-rich countries.

Summary: Mexico has been trying to develop more effective responses to crime challenges by shifting its anti-narcotics and organized crime control policies. However, the broad cross-sectoral support for criminal activity, including both corruption and social support, sustains crime even in the face of evolving state policy. The essay examines the implications of illicit networks on different forms of crime control policy and highlights the need for a policy specifically targeting these networks to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Summary: This article reports on the perception of young people and stakeholders working in the area of violence against women (VAW) in Ireland regarding young men's role in addressing VAW. Men are seen as well positioned to intervene as active bystanders and to engage in feminist allyship. However, various barriers and ethical concerns need to be addressed, such as the privileging of men's perspectives over women's, pluralistic ignorance, and a tendency for confrontational approaches. Given the presence of political forces that oppose feminist activism, it is crucial to address these issues.

Summary: This research analyzed online comments (n = 455) on news articles about sexual assault from local news outlets in a rural area of the Deep South to examine the level of acceptance and challenge towards rape myths.

Additionally, the study highlighted the influence of the cultural context of the Deep South on the construction of rape myths. These findings can be utilized to develop targeted educational programs that challenge rape myths and promote community support for victims.
