IN REVIEWING THE WORKS OF CHAPMAN COFFMAN AND SHOHAM ON THE CONCEPTS OF STIGMATIZATION AND STEREOTYPES, THE ARTICLE UNDERLINES THE CONCEPTUAL CONFUSION WHICH HAS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED THE USE OF THESE EXPRESSIONS.
Abstract
THE AUTHORS ILLUSTRATE THE PROCESS OF INTERACTION AND FEED-BACK EXISTING BETWEEN THE NORMATIVE CATEGORIZATION OF OFFENCES AND OFFENDERS AND SOCIAL PERCEPTION AND STIGMATIZATION. THEY ALSO SUGGEST SOME AREAS FOR A BETTER ANALYSIS OF THE PHENOMENON, AIMING ON ONE HAND TO A MORE PRECISE AND MORE REALISTIC LEGAL CATEGORIZATION AND ON THE OTHER HAND TO PUBLIC SENSITIZATION AND PARTICIPATION IN SOCIAL DEFENCE EFFORTS. --IN ITALIAN.
