Palgrave Histories of Policing, Punishment and Justice

<div>This book provides a comprehensive overview of police governance in England and Wales. This volume (II) covers reform and development of tripartite governance from 1979-2025. Volume I starts from the Anglo Saxon period. These volumes analyse the key mechanisms and procedures that have sought to provide for the control and accountability of police organisations to external bodies and the means through which the conduct and work performed by police personnel is regulated internally. They discuss and evaluate the key debates and developments that have underpinned changes to police governance and the social, economic and political context within which these have emerged. They bring together a wide variety of material that relates to historical and contemporary aspects of policing. They draw upon primary (as well as secondary) source material including the use of historical documents for the early chapters. They speak to students taking courses in criminology and criminal justice studies and also those specialising in policing and to practitioners.</div>

Palgrave Studies on Sentencing

This edited collection provides an international collection of essays addressing the most important challenge confronting courts in all jurisdictions, common and civil law: how can we restrict the use of imprisonment to avoid unnecessary human and fiscal costs? Different court systems have devised a range of approaches but few have worked. This book represents multiple jurisdictions including both civil and common law countries and includes chapters from legal scholars, philosophers and empirical researchers. This book has broad appeal, given the widespread&nbsp;interest in the use of&nbsp;custody, and the pressing need to reduce prison costs.Jakub Drápal

Der Idylle wird traditionell der Blick in ein (vergangenes) ideales oder fiktives Goldenes Zeitalter zugeschrieben. Nicht nur in der Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch in aktuellen Analysen arkadisch konfigurierter Texte entsteht daher oft der ernüchternde Eindruck, die Idylle sei auf Eskapismus und Flucht aus dem Alltag festgelegt. Die Beiträger*innen räumen mit diesem Vorurteil auf und zeigen, warum es sich lohnt, gerade die Idyllen zu beleuchten, die diesem regressiven Moment nicht folgen. Dazu arbeiten sie die produktiven Impulse dieser Zukunftsentwürfe für aktuelle ökologische, politische und soziale Krisen heraus und analysieren progressive Idyllen in unterschiedlichen Medien.

An Introduction

Sport, Culture and Society

Screens change things. They do it obviously. They do it subtly. They do it inevitably. Screens make the far things seem near. They make the near things seem far. They convey the world. They capture it. They distort it. They destabilize it. The premise of this book is that they do the same thing to people.

The Manga Bible

As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' was an era-defining drummer in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. But before he was Budgie, Peter Clarke was a boy growing up in working class St Helens in the 1960s. The loss of his mum at a young age created the absence that haunts the pages of this book. As a teenager disenchanted with art school in Liverpool, Peter became Budgie and befriended the likes of Jayne Casey, Pete Burns and other luminaries of the legendary Eric's Club before taking off for London and the big city heat of punk. Budgie's unique technique and musical sensitivity endeared him to the all-female group The Slits, who asked him to play on their debut album&nbsp;Cut. Subsequent touring with former members of the Sex Pistols and others from the post punk aristocracy firmly established Budgie's reputation for innovation. But the beating heart of this at times painfully honest account of a life often sabotaged is, of course, his long-term position as Siouxsie and the Banshees' drummer and co-writer alongside his ex-wife Siouxsie Sioux. Their creative partnership produced some of the most seductive and celebrated pop music of the decade. Eventually, their personal relationship started to fall apart, with inevitable consequences for both bands.&nbsp;The Absence&nbsp;is bravely unflinching in its dissection of how and why this happened, and powerfully moving in its account of the angels that emerged to heal both these wounds and those of a mother's lost love. A man and musician whose creativity and singular style came to define the goth-pop 1980s, Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a cautionary tale. For the first time the story of the era's most exalted and mysterious bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast.

The Absence

THE RULES THAT MAKE US 'With the eye of an anthropologist and the clarity of a storyteller, Oliver Sweet helps us see the water we all swim in - the invisible systems that shape our choices, our communities, and even our sense of self. This book doesn't just explain culture; it restores our ability to see it - to notice what we have stopped noticing ... I read it with gratitude and a sense of recognition: this is how deep seeing begins.' Christian Madsbjerg, author of Look and Sensemaking 'Oliver Sweet does something rare: he captures cultural complexity without flattening it into easy answers. The evidence is rigorous, the thinking is nuanced, and the whole thing feels genuinely contemporary.' Rob Scotland, head of brand marketing at Veo 'A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the world really works.' Erin Meyer, author of The Culture Map 'Anthropology in technicolour - accessible, sharp and unsettling in all the right ways. It reminds us that culture doesn't just describe who we are; it scripts what we believe is possible.' Dr Lollie Mancey, programme director at UCD Innovation Academy Oliver Sweet's book is not only a highly informative read and riotously entertaining, but it's an important book ... It is a brilliant and truthful account of how culture shapes us, and more importantly how it unites us more than divides us.' Chloe Combi, author, speaker, columnist, consultant 'Policy makers, think tankers, businesses, consultants, listen up: Forget "nudge" and "behaviour change" - culture is where it's at!' Professor Martin Holbraad, director of Ethnographic Insights Lab, UCL 'The Rules That Make Us is more than a guide to culture; it's a framework for seeing the systems that shape belief, behaviour, and belonging. What makes it powerful is that it's not just theory - it's lived anthropology, translated into a way of thinking that anyone can use. This book doesn't just describe the world; it helps you understand how to work with it.' Murray Standford, head of anthropology, Coca-Cola

The Rules That Make Us

A crucial subversion of the misconceptions around the participation of genderdiverse athletes advocating for the inclusion of trans and nonbinary athletes across all levels of sport The debate over the inclusion of gender diverse people in sport has become the latest battleground in the fight for basic human rights and equality. Trans and nonbinary people around the world are facing physical harm and violence—including death—at unprecedented rates. In Let Us Play, trans athlete Harrison Browne and investigative journalist Rachel Browne reveal how the opposition towards gender diverse athletes is fueled by fear and a moral panic as opposed to facts around what makes “a level playing field.”&nbsp; Interweaving Harrison’s first-hand experience as a transgender athlete with exclusive accounts—from athletes, coaches, policymakers, and advocates on the front lines—Let Us Play dismantles the illusion that sports have ever been fair, that trans athletes pose a threat to women’s sports, and that gender-affirming healthcare for athletes should be prohibitive to play.&nbsp; Calling for a reframing of the binaries from youth and high school levels all the way to the national leagues, Browne and Browneoffer a new path forward, led by solutions proposed by gender diverse athletes themselves. In more recent news, author Harrison Browne has jointed the Heated Rivalry universe! He plays Connors in episode 4, titled "Rose".

Melland Schill Perspectives on International Law

Why are constitutionalist ideals so prominent in science fiction? Does Independence Day depict self-defence as a legal concept with absolute limits? Is international law lost in space? This innovative interdisciplinary volume represents the first exploration of the relationship between international law and cinema. From Star Wars to Werner Herzog, The Godfather to The West Wing, this book uncovers a diverse range of representations of international law and its norms in film and television. Examining the wider links between international law, cinema and ideology, the contributions not only examine visual representations of international law, but they offer an essential insight into the functions fulfilled by these cinematic representations. Providing an extraordinary introduction to a variety of perspectives on core international legal questions, Cinematic perspectives on international law extends a valuable methodology by which international lawyers can critique the depiction of international law in film.

Cinematic Perspectives on International Law

Contemporary Hate Crimes: Analysis and Examples examines complex issues related to hate crimes, presenting readers with a comprehensive framework that includes historical context, legal and constitutional discussions, typologies, contemporary considerations, and victim impacts.

The text explores a range of topics, beginning with the rationale behind criminalizing hate-inspired actions, the development and contents of hate crime legislation, and the constitutionality of hate speech limitations. The discussion spans theoretical perspectives for understanding hate crimes, roles and impacts of various hate organizations, profiles of individual perpetrators described as "lone wolves," and the international dynamics of hate-linked networks.

Contemporary Hate Crimes is ideal for courses that focus on criminal justice, sociology, law, and social work, particularly those examining hate crimes, constitutional law, and social justice at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It inspires discussion, debate, and a deeper understanding of the hate crimes phenomenon through an interdisciplinary perspective and inclusion of contemporary developments and public policy issues.
