• Sommario/riassunto: On a pu penser que de la fondation de la première colonie agricole pénitentiaire à Mettray, en 1839, à la Libération, les mineurs délinquants étaient détenus dans ces rurales « maisons de correction » qui leurs étaient spécifiquement réservées. À la Libération, l’ordonnance du 2 février 1945 relative à l’enfance délinquante aurait permis de remplacer ces « bagnes d’enfants » par des structures véritablement éducatives gérées par l’éducation surveillée, cette nouvelle direction du ministère de la Justice créée spécialement pour cette tâche. Or, en France, la prison « ordinaire », parfois dissimulée sous une appellation trompeuse, a toujours joué un rôle déterminant dans la prise en charge des mineurs délinquants. En consacrant son travail de thèse à l’incarcération des enfants et des adolescents au xxe siècle, Élise Yvorel éclaire d’un jour nouveau, non seulement l’histoire de la justice pénale des mineurs, mais plus largement l’histoire des rapports que la société française entretient avec la fraction la plus fragile de sa jeunesse. L’auteure se livre notamment à une analyse fine, méticuleuse, détaillée de la vie quotidienne car c’est bien dans le ; fonctionnement effectif de la prison que se mesurent les évolutions et les pesanteurs de l’institution carcérale. Grâce à ce livre, ces enfants que l’on ne voulait pas voir, commencent à sortir de l’ombre.

• Sommario/riassunto: This open access book proposes a conceptual framework for understanding measurement across a broad range of scientific fields and areas of application, such as physics, engineering, education, and psychology. It addresses contemporary issues and controversies within measurement in light of the framework, including operationalism, definitional uncertainty, and the relations between measurement and computation, and describes how the framework, operating as a shared concept system, supports understanding measurement’s work in different domains, using examples in the physical and human sciences. This revised and expanded second edition features a new analysis of the analogies and the differences between the error/uncertainty-related approach adopted in physical measurement and the validity-related approach adopted in psychosocial measurement. In addition, it provides a better analysis and presentation of measurement scales, in particular about their relations with quantity units, and introduces the measurand identification/definition as a part of the "Hexagon Framework" along with new examples from the physical and psychosocial sciences. Researchers and academics across a wide range of disciplines including biological, physical, social, and behavioral scientists, as well as specialists in measurement and philosophy appreciate the work’s fresh and provocative approach to the field at a time when sound measurements of complex scientific systems are increasingly essential to solving critical global problems.
