University of Toronto Press The Legal Singularity
Book SynopsisLaw today is incomplete, inaccessible, unclear, underdeveloped, and often perplexing to those whom it affects. In The Legal Singularity, Abdi Aidid and Benjamin Alarie argue that the proliferation of artificial intelligenceenabled technology and specifically the advent of legal prediction is on the verge of radically reconfiguring the law, our institutions, and our society for the better. Revealing the ways in which our legal institutions underperform and are expensive to administer, the book highlights the negative social consequences associated with our legal status quo. Given the infirmities of the current state of the law and our legal institutions, the silver lining is that there is ample room for improvement. With concerted action, technology can help us to ameliorate the problems of the law and improve our legal institutions. Inspired in part by the concept of the technological singularity, The Legal Singularity presents a future state in which technoloTable of Contents1. Introducing the Legal Singularity I.

University of Toronto Press Skating on Thin Ice
Book SynopsisSkating on Thin Ice exposes the culture of toxic masculinity in professional hockey and suggests how sport and society can change the narrative on sexual assault and violence.Why is it that professional sports, and notably hockey, remain a bastion for rape culture and violence against women? What are the conditions that allow a culture of toxic masculinity to persist despite awakenings elsewhere in society? What is the path forward, and how do we make officials, coaches, and athletes accountable?Drawing on decades of award-winning sociological research and sports journalism, Walter S. DeKeseredy, Martin D. Schwartz, and veteran sportswriter Stu Cowan find answers to these questions in Skating on Thin Ice.The book examines the abusive, misogynistic, racist, and homophobic behaviors found in professional hockey and explains the larger societal forces that perpetuate and legitimate these harms.

University of Toronto Press On Target
Book SynopsisThe National Rifle Association (NRA) is an important actor in the American gun debate. While popular explanations for the group’s influence often focus on the NRA’s lobbying and campaign donations, it receives lesser attention for the mass mobilization efforts that make these political endeavours possible. On Target explores why the NRA is so influential and how we can understand the group’s impact on firearms policy in the United States. The book looks at how the NRA both draws upon and shapes historical meta-narratives regarding the role of firearms in America’s national identity and how this is part of a larger effort to expand the community of gun owners. Noah S. Schwartz demonstrates how the NRA portrays a vision of the past through events such as its annual meeting; communications such as American Rifleman magazine and NRA TV; and points of contact including the National Firearms Museum.

Lexington Books Community Crime Control and Collective Efficacy
Book SynopsisCollective efficacy is a neighborhood-level concept in which community members create a sense of agency and assume ownership for the state of their local community. This concept is one of several forms of formal and informal social control that predict the overall functioning of a community. In this book, the authors examine collective efficacy and crime in eight Miami-Dade County, Florida neighborhoods, based on data they collected from across the country and in the Miami-Dade neighborhoods themselves. They discuss findings relevant to the theory of collective efficacy itself, ramifications for its use within communities, and make recommendations for future research and for translating these results into actionable, crime prevention activities.Trade ReviewThe approaches to fostering collective efficacy in local neighborhoods has been key to the work that is being done across various neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The work outlined in this book was instrumental in allowing us to also measure the impact of collective efficacy and to frame critical discussions with our partners in law enforcement and across the community. This work is essential to furthering the approach of community policing across urban communities in the U.S. -- Angelica M. Solis, Director of Community Development for Youth Policy InstituteThis is a critical piece in advancing and setting the research agenda for crime and the social environment of neighborhoods. For too long, criminological research focused on programs and interventions with to little attention paid to the communities impacted by crime. Not content to just build on prior works, this book brings an important level of scrutiny to prior efforts at measuring and explaining social factors relating to crime and provides a road map both for future research and critical review of such efforts. This impressive study and important publication will guide research on how community attributes discourage or promote disorder and crime. Most importantly, it re-focuses research on the most elemental of relationships impacting crime; that between neighborhoods and the people who inhabit them. -- Matthew Perkins, Senior Program Officer of the Community Safety Initiative at LISCUchida and his colleagues should be commended for their work, which helps move ‘collective efficacy’ from theory to practice. They give us solid evidence on how social cohesion works to reduce crime, and solid information that will positively impact police policy and practice. -- James R.

Bristol University Press The Pre-Crime Society: Crime, Culture and Control
Book SynopsisWe now live in a pre-crime society, in which information technology strategies and techniques such as predictive policing, actuarial justice and surveillance penology are used to achieve hyper-securitization. However, such securitization comes at a cost – the criminalization of everyday life is guaranteed, justice functions as an algorithmic industry and punishment is administered through dataveillance regimes. This pioneering book explores relevant theories, developing technologies and institutional practices and explains how the pre-crime society operates in the ‘ultramodern’ age of digital reality construction. Reviewing pre-crime's cultural and political effects, the authors propose new directions in crime control policy.Table of ContentsForeword - Ian Warren Introduction: The Ultramodern Age of Criminology, Control Societies, and 'Dividual' Justice Policy - Bruce Arrigo, Brian Sellers and Faith Butta Part 1: Theories, Theorists and Theoretical Perspectives 1.

Bristol University Press A Science of Otherness?: Rereading the History of
Book SynopsisThis book presents a critical history of Western criminological thought from the Enlightenment to the development of modern criminological theories, mainly in the United States, over the last hundred years. It explores a variety of approaches including the classical school, the various currents of positivist criminology, and the managerial movement. Mehozay contends that Western criminological thought can be seen as an ideological project based on ‘otherness’, justifying social hierarchies and sustaining the control of some people over others. He demonstrates how ideologies of otherness, such as the non-rational other, the pathological other and more, validate projects of control, exclusion, modernization, and care.Table of Contents1.

Bristol University Press Island Criminology
Book SynopsisTen percent of the world’s population lives on islands, but until now the place and space characteristics of islands in criminological theory have not been deeply considered. This book moves beyond the question of whether islands have more, or less, crime than other places, and instead addresses issues of how, and by whom, crime is defined in island settings, which crimes are policed and visible, and who is subject to regulation. These questions are informed by ‘the politics of place and belonging’ and the distinctive social networks and normative structures of island communities.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Bristol University Press Gendered Perspectives on Preventing Violent
Book SynopsisThe UK’s ‘Prevent’ strategy aims to dissuade vulnerable groups from supporting terrorism, and women have been involved since its inception in 2006. Sam Andrews argues that women are still viewed within a traditional gendered framework as primarily peaceful and are mostly engaged as mothers, enlisted by Prevent to watch over and guide their families and communities. Drawing on interviews and case studies, this book reveals how Prevent goes beyond simple counter-terrorism messaging to fund a diverse array of projects, from support for victims of domestic violence to parenting courses, shaping wider engagement with women in society.Table of Contents1.

Bristol University Press Adverse Childhood Experiences and Serious Youth
Book SynopsisWhereas crime more generally has fallen over the last 20 years, levels of serious youth violence remain high. This book presents innovative research into the complex relationship between adverse childhood experiences and serious youth violence.

Feminist Press at The City University of New York Women Who Kill
Book SynopsisThis landmark study offers a rogues’ gallery of women—from the Colonial Era to the 20th century—who answered abuse and oppression with murder: “A classic” (Gloria Steinem). Women rarely resort to murder. But when they do, they are likely to kill their intimates: husbands, lovers, or children. In Women Who Kill, journalist Ann Jones explores these homicidal patters and what they reflect about women and our culture. She considers notorious cases such as axe-murderer Lizzie Borden, acquitted of killing her parents; Belle Gunness, the Indiana housewife turned serial killer; Ruth Snyder, the “adulteress” electrocuted for murdering her husband; and Jean Harris, convicted of shooting her lover, the famous “Scarsdale Diet doctor.” Looking beyond sensationalized figures, Jones uncovers different trends of female criminality through American history—trends that reveal the evolving forms of oppression and abuse in our culture. From the prevalence of infanticide in colonial days to the poisoning of husbands in the nineteenth century and the battered wives who fight back today, Jones recounts the tales of dozens of women whose stories, and reasons, would otherwise be lost to history. First published in 1980, Women Who Kill is a “provocative book” that “reminds us again that women are entitled to their rage.” This 30th anniversary edition from Feminist Press includes a new introduction by the author (New York Times Book Review).

The New Press Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling
Book SynopsisRacial profilingas practiced by police officers, highway troopers, and customs officialsis one of America''s most explosive public issues. But even as protest against the practice has swelled, police forces and others across the country continue to argue that profiling is an effective crime-fighting tool. In Profiles in Injustice, now in paperback, David Harrisdescribed by the Seattle Times as "America''s leading authority on racial profiling"dismantles those arguments, drawing on a wealth of newly available statistics to show convincingly that profiling is not only morally and legally wrong, but also startlingly ineffectual at preventing crime or apprehending criminals.A new chapter considers how the events of September 11 have recast the racial profiling issue, tipping public opinion in favor of the policy as a tool in fighting terrorism.

Berghahn Books, Incorporated Patterns of Provocation: Police and Public
Book Synopsis Over the past thirty years social scientists and particularly social historians have stressed the need to take popular protest seriously. The corollary of this, the need to take the policing of protest seriously, seems to have been less well acknowledged. The aim of this volume is to redress this situation by probing, in depth, a limited number of incidents of public disorder and focusing particularly on the role of the police. In doing so, this collection will draw out general patterns of police provocation and public responses and suggest general hypotheses. The incidents explored range across Europe and the United States, involve different kinds of political regime, and are drawn from both the interwar and the postwar years. They pose important questions about the effects of riot training and specialist equipment for the police, about the reality and roles of "agitators" and of "rotten apples" amongst the police, and about the role of the media and the courts in fostering certain kinds of undesirable and counterproductive police behavior.Table of Contents Introduction: Patterns of Provocation R.

They pose important questions about the effects of riot training and specialist equipment for the police, about the reality and roles of "agitators" and of "rotten apples" amongst the police, and about the role of the media and the courts in fostering certain kinds of undesirable and counterproductive police behavior.Table of Contents Introduction: Patterns of Provocation R.

Monthly Review Press,U.S. Capital Crimes
Book SynopsisCrime tops the headlines, leads the evening news, and is a focus of every election. But what causes crime? Is there a more rational way to address it than by law-and-order crusades? In this treatment, George Winslow offers to take on every aspect of the topic, from the streets to the suites, placing the issue in the context of a larger political economy. From the Burmese heroin trade to homicide, from the capital flight that has generated crime in the inner cities to corporate money-laundering schemes, the study demonstrates how economic forces and elite interests have shaped both the world of crime and society's response to it. Based on research and interviews, the book seeks to present a comprehensive alternative to a "lock 'em up" approach that has produced a gargantuan prison-industrial complex.

Temple University Press,U.S. Communities and Crime: An Enduring American
Book SynopsisSocial scientists have long argued over the links between crime and place. The authors of Communities and Crime provide an intellectual history that traces how varying images of community have evolved over time and influenced criminological thinking and criminal justice policy.The authors outline the major ideas that have shaped the development of theory, research, and policy in the area of communities and crime. Each chapter examines the problem of the community through a defining critical or theoretical lens: the community as social disorganization; as a system of associations; as a symptom of larger structural forces; as a result of criminal subcultures; as a broken window; as crime opportunity; and as a site of resilience. Focusing on these changing images of community, the empirical adequacy of these images, and how they have resulted in concrete programs to reduce crime, Communities and Crime theorizes about and reflects upon why some neighborhoods produce so much crime. The result is a tour of the dominant theories of place in social science today.Trade Review"Wilcox, Cullen, and Feldmeyer provide an intellectual history of communities and crime in the US. They look at seven perceptions of the inner-city community—community as socially disorganized, as system, as truly disadvantaged, as criminal culture, as broken window, as criminal opportunity, and as collective efficacy—devoting a chapter to each. The authors emphasize the macro context, i.e., the idea that though particular images of community convey static differences, inner-city criminalistic communities are not islands but have distinct ongoing linkages with surrounding communities and neighborhoods and with the larger region of the city....

Book SynopsisProfessor Chang s very thoughtful and impressively researched study of cybercrime in the greater China region is an invaluable contribution to the information and analyses available in this area. It not only provides important, and heretofore unavailable data, about the incidence and nature of cybercrime in this region, it also offers insightful suggestions into how this problem can most effectively be controlled. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in this area.'- Susan Brenner, University of Dayton, US'East Asia is a heartland of the variegated scams of the cybercrime problem. Yao Chung Chang's book is an innovative application of routine activity theory and regulatory theory to cybercrime prevention across the cybergulf between China and Taiwan.

Chang leads us to ponder a wiki cybercrime prevention strategy that might work in such treacherous waters.'- John Braithwaite, Australian National University'Very rarely do you read books that impress these days, but for me Cybercrime in the Greater China Region was one of them. Dr Chang is one of a number of young and exciting international academics who are exploring previously unchartered territory in their quest for new understandings about cybercrime. In his book, Dr Chang manages to locate a global policing problem within the sometimes tense political and cultural constraints of regional policing. For me, Professor Grabosky neatly sums up the strengths of the book in his foreword, I can only endorse them.- David S. Wall, University College, Durham University, UK'Lennon's research is an important contribution to the current limited understanding of the cybercrimes and related laws/regulations and incident reporting issues across the straits between the two major economies in the Asia region. A well researched book, and highly informative with practical suggestions for enhancing visibility and cooperation to improve the overall state of cybersecurity in the region, especially between the two economies.- Meng-Chow Kang, Cisco Systems, ChinaCybercrime is a worldwide problem of rapidly increasing magnitude and, of the countries in the Asia Pacific region, Taiwan and China are suffering most. This timely book discusses the extent and nature of cybercrime in and between Taiwan and China, focussing especially on the prevalence of botnets (collections of computers that have been compromised and used for malicious purposes).The book uses routine activity theory to analyse Chinese and Taiwanese legal responses to cybercrime, and reviews mutual assistance between the two countries as well as discussing third party cooperation. To prevent the spread of cybercrime, the book argues the case for a 'wiki' approach to cybercrime and a feasible pre-warning system. Learning from lessons in infectious disease prevention and from aviation safety reporting, Cybercrime in the Greater China Region proposes a feasible information security incident reporting and response system.Academics, government agency workers, policymakers and those in the information security or legal compliance divisions in public and private sectors will find much to interest them in this timely study.Contents: Foreword Part I: Setting the Scene 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States:
Book SynopsisAid agencies increasingly consider anti-corruption activities important for economic development and poverty reduction in developing countries. In the first major comparative study of work by the World Bank, the European Commission and the UNDP to help governments in fragile states counter corruption, Jesper Johnson finds significant variance in strategic direction and common failures in implementation. In a refreshing departure from existing literature on corruption, Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States takes a public administration perspective, studying the role of organisational factors in the success of anti-corruption strategies. It is widely acknowledged that governance and anti-corruption interventions play a crucial role in reducing fragility and building legitimate and resilient institutions. Policy makers have re-framed development goals for fragile states to achieve stability by addressing their special characteristics: weak institutions and governance; low capacity and legitimacy in government; and vulnerability to violence. This book shows how anti-corruption and state-building policies are often disconnected or incoherent, and how executional challenges prevent strategies from translating into results. This book will be of interest to researchers and students studying (anti-)corruption, aid, international organisations or fragile states. It will be an invaluable resource for staff in aid agencies and NGOs in the fields of governance, accountability and transparency.Trade Review'A timely critique of a less than stellar era for development assistance. Johnson's work is an insightful blend of conceptual understanding and deep knowledge of the practical dilemmas faced by donors - who are almost never the solo actor on the battlefield. When real battles are going on alongside them, donor agencies face many challenges as one amongst many in the bureaucratic cage fight. This is an important contribution to the ongoing search for answers. The author's description of donor agencies as ''organised anarchies'' will have an authentic ring to many a member of the aid caste.' --Phil Mason OBE, Department for International Development, UK'Numerous societies have been targets for corruption-control and state-building efforts by aid agencies, often with dismal results. Jesper Johnson shows how those agendas diverge, and how both have been long on ideas yet short on implementation. Corruption fighters acknowledge that fragile situations - often the reasons for state-building - need carefully-tailored responses, but have yet to figure out what they entail. Johnson brings sound theory and extensive field research to those questions, producing essential insights into reform and stability in fragile situations.' --Michael Johnston, Colgate University'Given how much international development agencies invest in anti-corruption programmes, and how often it features in donor strategies and policies, there is a shocking lack of research on how these programmes play out in recipient countries. Jesper Johnsøn's book fills an important gap, particularly with his focus on fragile states where getting anti-corruption programming right is vital for stability and security. Drawing on theories of bureaucracy, he argues that donors (and researchers) often blame using the wrong theories for programme design failure but failure can be explained much more by implementation challenges. Rather than constantly searching for the new anti-corruption 'magic key', by paying greater attention to context, avoiding bureaucratic competition and investing properly in staffing, donors - and citizens in fragile states - could see transformative governance improvements.' --Heather Marquette, University of Birmingham, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction – A Need for Better Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States 1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Mothering from the Inside: Research on motherhood
Book SynopsisBased on empirical research, this edited collection brings attention to the experiences and perspectives of women who are 'mothering from the inside', along with those of their children, families and wider support networks. Exploring a range of distinct, yet interrelated, issues explicitly associated with maternal imprisonment, the collection is separated into two parts. Part I, 'From sentence to resettlement', explores sentencing, maintaining maternal contact, pregnancy and childbirth, and resettlement, whilst also attending to the lived experiences and needs of children with a mother in prison. Part II, 'From the margins to the centre', explores diverse perspectives in relation to mothering and imprisonment, highlighting the importance of understanding how factors such as age and mental health intersect with mothers' lived experiences of and responses to imprisonment. The perspectives of prison officers as mothers are also considered, along with international perspectives on mothering and imprisonment, identifying key issues of commonality and difference. Ultimately, the book highlights the challenges of – and barriers to – mothering and imprisonment, whilst also illustrating the adaptive strategies adopted in order to resist and/or survive the impact of maternal imprisonment. In doing so, the collection highlights cross-disciplinary themes to encourage debate in relation to issues in contemporary practice. The book is essential reading for scholars and students in the areas of criminology, sociology, social policy and law.Table of ContentsPart I - From Sentence to Resettlement: experiences of maternal imprisonment Chapter 1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Crossroads of Rural Crime: Representations and
Book SynopsisRural-oriented scholarship in criminology is growing, in part motivated by governmental, community and academic recognition that, despite stereotypes of the 'rural idyll', crime and justice are significant issues in the rural landscape. Using the notion of 'crossroads' to provide a unique lens through which to examine realities of rural crime, Crossroads of Rural Crime: Representations and Realities of Transgression in the Australian Countryside provides a dynamic understanding of the nature of rural life and ways in which transgression manifests itself in the context of a presumed rural-urban divide. Common myths regarding rural crime are challenged by exploring its diverse dimensions from a central conceptual focal point; the many 'roads' that lead into and out of rural spaces, whether literal, virtual or figurative. With a focus on the Australian countryside, the authors examine issues such as drug abuse, persecution of wildlife, rural penal practices, and health in Indigenous communities. The first substantive edited collection to focus on notions of the mobility of crime within, to and from rural spaces, this interdisciplinary collection draws together contributions from criminology, politics, sociology, Indigenous studies, literature and anthropology to significantly contribute to our understanding of rural crime.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Information Pollution as Social Harm: Investigating the Digital Drift of Medical Misinformation in a Time of Crisis
The coronavirus pandemic struck the world in a very distinctive way: experience from past pandemics or from more recent outbreaks could give us only a limited understanding of how the situation was likely to unfold. In this context, and with cyberspace being increasingly used to support health-related decision making and to market health products, potentially harmful behaviours have been carried out by individuals propagating non-science-based health (mis)information and conspiratorial thinking. This includes, among other actions, boycotting the use of masks and physical distancing, proactively opposing the use of the COVID-19 candidate vaccines, and promoting the use of useless or even dangerous substances to prevent or resist the virus. By relying on a virtual ethnography approach carried out on Italian-speaking alternative lifestyle and counter-information online communities, this book shows how the nature of personal interactions online and the construction of both personal and group identities through the development of an 'us vs. them' narrative, are central to the creation and propagation of medical misinformation. This book is essential reading for researchers in the social, health, and data sciences and also professionals interested in scientific communication.

Emerald Publishing Limited Transforming State Responses to Feminicide:
Book SynopsisState responses to feminicide in Latin America, characterised in many cases by indifference and incompetence, have caused global concern. This book provides a new and refreshingly positive story from the region by tracing the transformation of state responses to feminicide in Brazil. It is the first single country study to examine in detail how strategic action by the women's movement has resulted in significant improvements in the investigation, prosecution and prevention of domestic violence and feminicide. Fiona Macaulay showcases the main contributory factors to the development of criminal justice best-practices around feminicide. She demonstrates the combined impact of regional efforts, local women's movement mobilisation, changes in the law and its application, and the action of policy entrepreneurs within the criminal justice institutions. Drawing on her knowledge of pioneering coalitions of interest involving feminist academics, NGOs, local campaigners, bureaucrats, politicians, police and prosecutors, the author unveils how these actors were able to identify, create and use institutional spaces to ensure long-lasting positive change. This book is a must-read for activists and researchers interested in practical strategies for improving criminal justice responses to gender-based violence, gender-aware police reform, comparative and feminist criminology, and the social and institutional dynamics of violence in Latin America.Trade ReviewFeminicide, the murder of women, has gained worldwide attention in recent years both for its prevalence and for efforts to curb it through legislation. Latin America was the site of pioneering efforts by feminist activists to transform both the meaning and practice of the law in matters of gender-based violence, and there are valuable lessons to be learned from that experience. Fiona Macaulay's book, focusing on Brazil, casts fascinating light on the political processes, domestic and international, that led to important policy, institutional and legal innovation in this area. Long in coming, success was largely due to the combined efforts of feminist activists, politicians, and lawyers. This book is a most welcome contribution to our thinking about how policy change occurs, why politics matters, and why a feminist perspective was transformative. Written in an accessible style, this is an essential case study for anyone interested in politics and law, feminist movements, and what can be achieved in contentious areas of reform. -- Professor Maxine Molyneux, Institute of the Americas, University College LondonTable of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisAlthough intervention and campaigning have long been integral to critical criminology, in recent years, criminal justice activism has taken new directions and gathered momentum, especially with the advent of digital technologies and social media. These have made it easier than ever for ordinary citizens and professional journalists alike to comment on perceived injustices and potentially intervene in formal criminal justice processes. The Emerald International Handbook of Activist Criminology examines the history of both recent and more established justice campaigns and interventions. Spanning contributions from activists, activist academics, and practitioners from five continents, chapters address a range of criminological perspectives that engage in questions of effecting change through activism. Contributors also consider prominent international issues including feminist criminology, juvenile justice, migrant rights, corporate and state crime, indigenous rights, green/environmental criminology, sentencing and wrongful conviction, the harms of prisons, corrections and abolitionism, and justice for victim/survivors of harm and crime. Collectively, The Emerald International Handbook of Activist Criminology explores the contemporary terrain around new and emergent issues and forms of activism, and offers cutting edge conceptualizations of the methodological and practical applications of activist engagement, solidarity, and resistance.Trade ReviewThe editors and contributors are to be congratulated for providing an urgent and much needed critical response to the global politics of harm and the local practices of violence that swirl around, in, and through our collective psyches and our interdependent humanity. This Handbook is an indispensable criminological resource for activists, academics, policy professionals, and students of justice. -- Bruce A. Arrigo, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USAThis groundbreaking book sets the tone for the criminological debate, making it clear that science can no longer be understood in isolation from social change. Crime, punishment and social control shape the lives of the most vulnerable sections of society, and their voices demand to be included in any transformative project that genuinely seeks to overturn existing injustices. The book raises this demand from a decolonial and intersectional perspective that includes Indigenous, abolitionist, transfeminist and Southern perspectives that make clear that Western-centred solutions are neither epistemically nor empirically sufficient to promote real transformation. -- Valeria Vegh Weis, Researcher, Konstanz University, GermanyThis Handbook constitutes a fundamental milestone and essential reading for all those in the criminological field who, beyond traditional views, claim a style of knowledge production politically committed to the current struggles for transformation and social justice. -- Máximo Sozzo, National University of Litoral, ArgentinaThe Emerald International Handbook of Activist Criminology is a timely collection of cutting-edge contributions by established and emerging activist researchers and advocates. These are bold and creative interventions from a range of diverse perspectives, all unified with the common objective of resisting the epistemic violence of a discipline traditionally tethered to state and increasingly corporate research agendas that continue to be implicated in and directly reproduce social injustice, violence and harm. Together, they compose a bold and comprehensive response to a frequently asked question: should criminology be abolished? This book is an important, instructional and heartening manual for the growing number of radically oriented and activist researchers struggling on the margins of the discipline to build meaningful community, solidarity and intervention that result in genuine structural change and the dismantling of injustice and social harm. -- Bree Carlton, University of Melbourne, AustraliaTable of ContentsForeword; Onwubiko Agozino Chapter 1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Defining Rape Culture: Gender, Race and the Move
Book SynopsisRape culture, a colloquial term often used to describe society’s normalization and cultural acceptance of sexual violence, especially of men towards women, can be defined in a variety of ways. Academic discussions surrounding this topic often lack the theorization needed to elevate these conversations from their specific contexts to a broader, more conscious cultural awareness. Providing clearly defined, historical and cross-cultural definitions of this well-used term, Defining Rape Culture addresses current debates with a fresh international perspective that does not limit itself to whiteness or the Global North. Examining the culture around sexual violence through an intersectional feminist lens, Rebecca M. Hayes interrogates the historical origins of sexual violence that are steeped in colonization and white supremacy, proving how the thread of rape culture has persisted even among very different cultures. Tackling how legal and institutional indifference to sexual misconduct has allowed it to fester unpunished, chapters also reveal the role that social media has played in exposing the shared trauma that rape culture perpetuates. From #notallmen to #MeToo, Defining Rape Culture acts as an in-depth primer on how these outdated attitudes continue to persist, but also the role we can play in shifting this cultural mindset and create lasting social change.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Canelo Criminal Shadows: Inside the Mind of a Serial

Is there any way of truly knowing?David Canter asked the same questions whilst developing the new science of criminal profiling, a revolutionary approach to violent crime investigations.In this highly acclaimed account, Canter reveals his methods of precisely identifying and locating murderers and rapists: the unconscious behaviours and tell-tale patterns that they always leave behind. These pioneering techniques of building profiles transformed policing, still in use across the world to hunt and capture dangerous psychopaths.Taking us into the heart of some of the most notorious criminal investigations in British history, Canter’s writing is a gripping read for fans of true crime and human psychology.‘Fascinating.
