Cemetery conservation should be more than the diagnosis, documentation and treatment of decaying materials; it should also meet the demands and needs of the citizenry that care for and value the material and cultural heritage of the site.
Setting stone decay in a cultural context: conservation at the African Cemetery No. 2, ... - 0 views

Preservation of cemeteries is not only important for preserving cultural heritage, but also for protection against unwanted social and cultural changes or, conversely, for its role as a catalyst for identity, economic or political strength.
-
In other words, conservation practice must become participatory conservation, through inclusion of the community. Conservation is a complex process which goes beyond a practitioner treating the various symptoms of stone decay; it requires sensitivity to the specific social, cultural, political and economic contexts of the entire site.

Management of stone artifacts requires understanding the driving forces for change, whether natural or anthropogenic, in order to implement effective conservation strategies. Physical, chemical and biological processes of stone decay must be understood in order to remediate the damage they cause. It is not merely the stone itself which is to be conserved, however, but also the cultural, social, religious or artistic ideas that it represents; these values are changeable and must be defined in the context of contemporary heritage processes. Cemetery stone in Kentucky, USA, provides an example of the importance of a holistic approach to stone conservation, which integrates scientific knowledge of decay processes with conservation theory and the needs of stakeholders. -

Studies of the collateral consequences of felony conviction have generally focused on single restrictions such as disenfranchisement or disqualification for welfare assistance. Although these studies have provided a wealth of valuable information, such an approach only provides a partial picture of the broader social context in which collateral sanctions operate and their implications for social stratification. Even after felons complete their sentences, they often find whole classes of key privileges revoked and opportunities blocked. Furthermore, because they are most likely to experience criminal justice sanctions, Black males are at far greater risk of also facing the social disadvantages that accompany criminal punishment. This article argues that collateral consequence provisions play a role in maintaining and exacerbating racial inequality.

Explaining the Great Racial Divide: Perceptions of Fairness in the U.S. Criminal Justic... - 2 views

We examine the huge racial divide in citizens' general beliefs about the fairness of the criminal justice system, focusing on the political consequences of these beliefs for shaping diverging interpretations of police behavior. Predictably, most blacks believe the system to be unfair and most whites believe the opposite. More importantly, these beliefs influence the interpretation of events quite differently. African Americans who view the system as unfair are much more suspicious of the police in confrontations with black civilians. Fairness for whites, however, has fewer racial connotations; they naively interpret the confrontations disregarding civilian race. Still, whites holding antiblack stereotypes are much more sympathetic to the police in their confrontations with black civilians.
