Partisan rancor and the public exchange of incivilities between members of Congress have become rampant on Capitol Hill and in the media studios since the 1980s. Polarization between mutually repugnant congressional factions has reached the point that the legislative process is paralyzed and democracy is hobbled. Ahuja documents the rise of incivility and the partisan shrillness in Congress, traces its complex causes, identifies its adverse consequences for the functioning of democratic government, and prescribes remedies to curb destructive partisanship and restore dignity and efficiency to the workings of Congress. Ahuja catalogs the most shocking examples of the abrasive new confrontational style as practiced by the likes of Gingrich, Burton, and Pelosi in the House, and by Boxer, Santorum, and Lott in the Senate. He contrasts this "new style" of congressional comportment with the decorum and pragmatism of the "old style" exemplified by such leaders as Foley, Hamilton, and Michel in the House, and by Dirksen, Mansfield, and Moynihan in the Senate. Ahuja identifies six causes of the rise of partisanship and incivility among congressional members: *Political redistricting and imposition of party discipline. *rising influence of adversarial special-interest groups. *adversarial format fostered by the 24-hour news cycle. *rising use of short-term consultants. *increasing insertion of "wedge issues". *avoidance of social interaction among opposing members. The author prescribes measures for restoring civility and moderating partisanship in Congress: reapportioning legislative districts; restricting the influence of consultants, media, and interest groups; and regularizing social interaction among congressional opponents..

Prohibitions against "offensive" conduct have existed for many years, but their extent and use was on the decline Recently, however, several jurisdictions - including England and Wales - have moved to broaden the reach and severity of measures against "incivilities". New measures include expanded targeting of unpopular forms of public conduct, such as begging, and legislation authorising magistrates to issue prohibitory orders against "anti-social" behaviour. Because these quality-of-life prohibitions can be so restrictive of personal liberties, it is essential to develop adequate guiding and limiting principles concerning State intervention in this area. This book addresses the legal regulation of offensive behaviour. Topics include: the nature of "offensiveness"; the grounds and permissible scope of criminal prohibitions against offensive behaviour; the legitimacy of civil orders against incivilities; and identifying the social trends that have generated current political interest in preventing incivilities through intervention of law. These questions are addressed by eleven distinguished philosophers, criminal law theorists, criminologists, and sociologists. In an area that has attracted much public comment but little theoretical analysis to date, these essays develop a fuller conceptual framework for debating questions about the legal regulation of offensive behaviour.

From the supplier: The legal profession has increasingly viewed incivility as a problem during the 1980s and early 1990s. A report by the District of Columbia Bar's Task Force on Civility in the Profession states that more than 26 state bars and 24 county bars in at least 37 states have enacted some kind of civility code. These standards are voluntary and violations cannot be a basis for discipline. The civility guidelines of the ABA's Section of Litigation are a national example, and these were gleaned from the work of the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit's Civility Committee.

Description:
This article examines how overall adherence to an ideology favourable or unfavourable to the city affects the practical ways in which one identifies with the city in which one lives. We then proceed to explore how these influence the perception of negative environmental stimuli, which we depict in our study as ''incivilities''. The interrelations between three principal variables are examined: (1) the degree of attraction towards or rejection of the city (''urbanophilia'' vs. ''urbanophobia''), based on how people view the Ideal City; (2) topological identity (strong vs. weak); and (3) perception of the salience of incivilities (also strong vs. weak). Our results indicate that possessing an ''urbanophile'' attitude corresponds to a strong topological identity and a tendency to underestimate the frequency of uncivil behaviours. ''Urbanophobia'', on the other hand, is clearly correlated with a weak urban identity and a tendency to overestimate uncivil behaviour in the city. .
