    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisExpertly drawing on international examples and existing literature, Penal Populism closes a gap in the field of criminology. In this fascinating expose of current crime policy John Pratt examines the role played by penal populism on trends in contemporary penal policy.Penal populism is associated with the public's decline of deference to the criminal justice establishment amidst alarm that crime is out of control. Pratt argues that new media technology is helping to spread national insecurities and politicians are not only encouraging such sentiments but are also being led on by them. Pratt explains it is having most influence in the development of policy on sex offenders, youth crime, persistent criminals and anti-social behaviour. This topical resource also covers new dimensions of the phenomenon, including: the changing nature and structure of the mass media less reliance on the more orthodox expertise of civil servants and academics <Trade Review'This is an important, acessible international perspective on the rise of penal populism and surely deserves a place in every academic library' - Mike Ryan, University of Greenwich, Punishment and Society 'John Pratt has long understood the importance of this inter-disciplinary approach to our understanding of public discourses on crime and punishment, and this new text on penal populism is yet another example of his ability to put together, and then convincingly apply, an extensive intellectual tool kit... This is an important, acessible international perspective on the rise of penal populism and surely deserves a place in every academic library' - Mike Ryan, University of Greenwich, Punishment and Society 'Pratt's book is a concise text that will appeal to both the academic and criminal justice professional. Its particular value lies in the accessible form with which it presents its case' - Jamie Bennett, Security Group Table of Contents1. What is Penal Populism? 2. Underlying Causes 3. Penal Populism, the Media and Information Technology 4. Penal Populism and Crime Control 5. Competing and Complimentary Influences on Penal Strategy and Thought 6. Is Penal Populism Inevitable?

    Book SynopsisThis is the first academic analysis of the role of embedded media in the 2003 Iraq War, providing a concise history of US military public affairs management since Vietnam.In late summer 2002, the Pentagon considered giving the press an inside view of the upcoming invasion of Iraq. The decision was surprising, and the innovative embedded media program itself received intense coverage in the media. Its critics argued that the program was simply a new and sophisticated form of propaganda. Their implicit assumption was that the Pentagon had become better at its news management and had learned to co-opt the media.This new book tests this assumption, introducing a model of organizational learning and redraws the US military's cumbersome learning curve in public affairs from Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, the Balkans to Afghanistan, examining whether past lessons were implemented in Iraq in 2003. Thomas Rid argues that while the US armed forces have imprTrade Review'War and Media Operations is must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how modern wars are sold to public opinion.'Jamie Shea, Director of Policy Planning at NATO, alliance spokesman duringthe Kosovo War'Those who support or oppose 'embedded' journalism will find ammunition here but Rid himself doesn't take shots.'Steven Komarow, USA TODAY, embedded with the US Army's V Corps duringthe Iraq War'thought-provoking, insightful, and deeply engaging'Ikujiro Nonaka, Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, former Xerox Professor of Knowledge, HaasSchool of Business, University of Berkeley, author of The Knowledge CreatingCompany'Thomas Rid demonstrates how nimble adversaries such as Al-Qaeda are comingup with their own information strategy.'James Mann, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, author of Rise of the Vulcans'The best analysis I have yet seen of the role of Public Affairs within the wider context of Information Operations.'Philip Taylor, University of Leeds, UK, author of Munitions of the Mind: A History of Propaganda'War and Media Operations is must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how modern wars are sold to public opinion.'Jamie Shea, Director of Policy Planning at NATO, alliance spokesman duringthe Kosovo War'Those who support or oppose 'embedded' journalism will find ammunition here but Rid himself doesn't take shots.'Steven Komarow, USA TODAY, embedded with the US Army's V Corps duringthe Iraq War'thought-provoking, insightful, and deeply engaging'Ikujiro Nonaka, Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, former Xerox Professor of Knowledge, HaasSchool of Business, University of Berkeley, author of The Knowledge CreatingCompany'Thomas Rid demonstrates how nimble adversaries such as Al-Qaeda are comingup with their own information strategy.'James Mann, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, author of Rise of the Vulcans'The best analysis I have yet seen of the role of Public Affairs within the wider context of Information Operations.'Philip Taylor, University of Leeds, UK, author of Munitions of the Mind: A History of PropagandaTable of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisGerman National Cinema is the first comprehensive history of German film from its origins to the present. In this new edition, Sabine Hake discusses film-making in economic, political, social, and cultural terms, and considers the contribution of Germany's most popular films to changing definitions of genre, authorship, and film form. The book traces the central role of cinema in the nationâs turbulent history from the Wilhelmine Empire to the Berlin Republic, with special attention paid to the competing demands of film as art, entertainment, and propaganda. Hake also explores the centrality of genre films and the star system to the development of a filmic imaginary. This fully revised and updated new edition will be required reading for everyone interested in German film and the history of modern Germany.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.
