The increase in empirical evidence on the comparison of organizations such as the public and private sectors is due to the research from…

upon criminal cases, such as cases of insanity or competency. Many cases of the time dealt with pleas of insanity that called for the McNaughton rule, which tested someone for criminal insanity at the time of the crime (Wexler 1992).

The alternative of boxing as a playful, performative and/or ritualistic mode of…
