Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit is a first-hand account by retired Special Agent John Douglas who was one of the first criminal profilers in the FBI’s history. The book details his life’s work by focusing on the psychological profiling that he developed to study the most prolific serial killers in America, and understand the serial killer thought process. The prologue of the book begins by describing a sudden illness that he had never experienced before, and ultimately one that would come close to ending his life. During his time as a profiler, the Special Agent traveled around the country to lecture about the cases he has worked and to help other agencies solve cases. While working in Seattle, he was hospitalized for a high fever and a seizure that ultimately put him in a medically induced coma where he was expected to have permanent brain damage even if he survived the physical trauma.

Kennedy Ratcliff
In his book, Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Daniel Mears writes about what he calls the Systems Improvement Solution, also called the Systems Solution. The Systems Solution is his solution for the way criminal justice policy is currently handled. Mears is an influential criminologist who is also the Mark C. Stafford Professor of Criminology at the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Mears, n.d.). Along with Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, he is the author of Fundamentals of Criminological and Criminal Justice Inquiry, Prisoner Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration, and American Criminal Justice Policy (Mears, n.d.). He is well-versed in his field of criminal justice, research, and policy; his research has also been featured in multiple journals and media outlets (Mears, n.d.). In Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Mears discusses every aspect concerning his Systems Solution- what a system is as a whole, the innerworkings of a system, how the Systems Solution can be used in other fields besides criminal justice, the emphasis on research, the multi-stakeholder policy process, the benefits of a Systems Solution, and many other pieces needed for a Systems Improvement Solution.

Corin Braga
In this paper I want to propose a hermeneutical approach that I call “distant theory”. I start from the premise that mythology, literature and art, especially antique, medieval and early modern, in order to be fully comprehended need a reconstruction of the respective visions of the world and of human nature in which they were created and read by their public. This is also true for modern and contemporary works, but while pre-modern metaphysical and anthropological systems have been acculturated and are no longer in use, current systems, belonging to the scientific “vulgate” of our days, are spontaneously endorsed and accepted by literary and art critics as valid and true. I call this unquestionable use by commentators of cosmological and psychological theories “close theory”. In contrast, in order to avoid anachronistic mismatching of works belonging to a certain historical cultural paradigm with methods deriving from other paradigms, I propose an approach in which all ontological and psychological systems, be they antique or present, should be considered mere intellectual artefacts, “master narratives”, dependent on their respective epochs. This relativistic attitude would allow a “distant approach” especially to nowadays theories, freeing the literary and art analysts of the task of having to certify themselves theories that belong to other domains.

Gary L. Grizzle
In their recent collaboration, Great Anarchists, political theory professor Ruth Kinna and illustrator Clifford Harper provide a testament to the contemporary relevance of late eighteenth through early twentieth century anarchist thought. They do so through their respective depictions of ten individuals who articulated anarchist ideas of one sort or another over the course of their lives. The people depicted in this volume range from those routinely found in mainstream academic treatments of anarchist theory (William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin), to those more likely to be found in insider accounts of the history of anarchism (Max Stirner, Louise Michel, Lucy Parsons, Errico Malatesta, and Voltairine De Cleyre), to a literary figure whose relationship to anarchism has frequently gone unnoticed (Oscar Wilde).
在他们最近的合作中，伟大的无政府主义者、政治理论教授鲁思·金纳和插画家克利福德·哈珀证明了18世纪末至20世纪初无政府主义思想的当代相关性。他们通过各自对十个人的描述来做到这一点，他们在一生中表达了这样或那样的无政府主义思想。这本书中描绘的人从主流学术界对无政府主义理论的处理中常见的人（William Godwin、Pierre Joseph Proudhon、Michael Bakunin和Peter Kropotkin），到更有可能在无政府主义历史内幕报道中发现的人（Max Stirner、Louise Michel、Lucy Parsons、Errico Malatesta和Voltairine De Cleyre），一个与无政府主义的关系经常被忽视的文学人物（奥斯卡·王尔德）。

B. Case
This essay is in conversation with Brian Martin, who wrote a response to an article I published about the importance of riots in movement uprisings. Martin questions some of my findings, reintroduces Gene Sharp’s theories of strategic nonviolence, and raises some further topics for consideration. I approach this as an opportunity to advance the discussion around strategic nonviolence and unarmed violence. Riots are significant moments of resistance, and our stories and strategy of struggle should reflect that reality. In both the title of his article and his conclusion, Martin asks— skeptically, I believe—if rioting can be the basis of movement strategy. In reply, I propose that our strategy must aspire to be riotous.

Benjamin Case (2021) argues that the framework of strategic nonviolence is limited by its assumption that violent protest necessarily demobilises movements, and that rioting can be empowering for participants. However, Case’s statistical analysis of US riots and peaceful demonstrations may not be a comparison of rioting and nonviolent action because it is questionable whether, in the US, peaceful demonstrations should be classified as methods of nonviolent action. Rioting can be empowering, but there is also considerable evidence that participation in nonviolent action can be empowering. Much research remains to be done to determine whether rioting can be a leading or major part of strategic action for social change.
Benjamin Case（2021）认为，战略非暴力的框架受到其假设的限制，即暴力抗议必然会使运动复员，暴乱可以赋予参与者权力。然而，凯斯对美国骚乱和和平示威的统计分析可能不是对骚乱和非暴力行动的比较，因为在美国，和平示威是否应该被归类为非暴力行动方法值得怀疑。暴乱可以增强力量，但也有相当多的证据表明，参与非暴力行动可以增强力量。要确定暴乱是否能成为社会变革战略行动的主导或主要部分，还有很多研究要做。
