Reclaimed

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

SpringerBriefs in Criminology

SpringerBriefs in Crime and Place

This brief offers a concise, conceptually grounded analysis of how place-based findings about crime are produced, interpreted, and translated into policy. Anchored in the criminology of place tradition and illustrated through a detailed case study of Mexico City, it introduces the "place specification framework" (PSF), a standard for making explicit the choices that determine what a crime map, hotspot, or ranking of places actually means.The book starts from one of the field's central achievements, the finding that a small share of places accounts for a disproportionate share of crime, and asks what exactly is being observed when a map appears to show where the problem is. It argues that place-based findings are not self-evident descriptions of urban reality but conditional interpretations that depend on three specification choices: the behavioral setting or unit of place, the link between construct, indicator, and denominator, and the local context or interaction horizon.Drawing on more than one million victims recorded in criminal investigations and assigned to the city's blocks between 2019 and 2023, the Mexico City case demonstrates that the same city yields different priority places depending on whether victimization is measured as counts, harm, resident-based rates, or exposure-adjusted rates. It also shows how a typology of five block types changes the meaning of the unit of place, how persistence differs between victim counts and harm, and how blocks at the edge of current hotspots are more likely than other blocks to become hotspots the following year.The final chapter connects analysis to action, showing what the framework changes for hotspot interpretation, cumulative and comparative research, intervention targeting, and policy evaluation. Rather than questioning that crime concentrates or that place matters, the book clarifies the conditions under which place-based patterns become meaningful, comparable, and actionable evidence. With practical implications for urban safety and policy targeting, this book is an essential resource for researchers, analysts, and policymakers interested in the spatial dimensions of crime and evidence-informed intervention.

Self-Radicalisation in the Post-Pandemic World

This book offers a unique perspective on reimagining the youth justice system by drawing on diverse international models of justice and applying a scientific lens to core global youth justice issues. Unlike existing works that focus solely on either reimagining the system or addressing global issues, this volume pioneers an exploration of how an evidence-based, reimagined system intersects with and addresses central concepts and topics from a&nbsp; global perspective. Drawing upon contemporary evidence, this book dissects and challenges longstanding presuppositions in youth justice, ranging from the nature of youth offending to responses to it, and highlights the crucial role of scientific insights in shaping these domains.
With a focus on core global issues such as the school-to-prison pipeline, gang culture, the radicalisation of youth, child soldiering, and the distinctive category of child victim-offender overlap, this comprehensive work serves as a vital resource for scholars, students, policymakers, and practitioners alike. By fostering dialogue between empirical evidence, varied justice models, systemic organisational structures, and pressing global issues, this book aims to provoke critical reflection and drive transformative change in the field of youth justice.

Precarious Futures: Crime, Technology and the Web explores rapidly changing social relationships within an increasingly interconnected digital world. Challenging conventional understandings of cybercrime and questioning the continued adequacy of established criminological frameworks, it argues, inter alia, that relative deprivation, reworked as a form of post-industrial precarity, provides a powerful foundation for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected, hyper-commercial neoliberal society. Drawing on empirical research, social theory, and contemporary debates on artificial intelligence, big data, surveillance, hacktivism, and digital power, the book examines how the Web has transformed opportunities for crime while reshaping the practices of governance and prediction. In doing so, Hamerton and Webber advance new theoretical models: temporal relative deprivation; the metaopticon; techniques of normalisation; and the precariousness of predictive systems, to explain the dynamics of crime and social control in an age of pervasive surveillance and artificial general intelligence. Precarious Futures advances a transdisciplinary critical digital criminology for understanding the uncertainties of the digital age. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of criminology and sociology, as well as researchers and practitioners in cyber security, computer science, artificial intelligence studies, and related fields.Christopher Hamerton is Programme Director in Criminology and Law at the School of Policy &amp; Global Affairs, City St Georges, University of London, UK.Craig Webber is Associate Professor in Criminology in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton, UK.

The Economics of Crime and Justice

Marilyn Monroe’s final formal photo session and last interview have never been released in their entirety—until now. Completed in July 1962, just a month before her passing, the interview conducted by Richard Meryman was Marilyn at her most open and honest, and the photos by Allan Grant were the only ones ever taken in her home. Now, for the first time, you can read Marilyn in her own words and see her as the world has never seen her before. "A beautifully understated look at an American icon, as she probably wished she could have been seen.” --Library Journal In July 1962, Marilyn Monroe was at a crossroads. At thirty-six years old and embroiled in legal battles with the studio of her current picture, Something’s Gotta Give, she was struggling with fame, age, and a studio system in which she no longer fit. When she sat down to give Richard Meryman an interview, she had a lot to say. Originally intended to be an interview about fame, over the course of four hours Marilyn talked about her entire life. Only a small portion of the interview was published in LIFE Magazine. When she died, just two days after the article was published, Meryman put the full transcript and the original tapes in his files, never to see the light of day. Documenting this landmark interview was iconic photojournalist Allan Grant. His images of Marilyn would be her last formal photo shoot—in her home, in casual clothes, being the glorious, free spirit she was. Grant captured every emotion of the interview in these exquisite images, only eight of which were published alongside the LIFE interview excerpt. Most of the remainder of the images were stored in Allan’s safe, waiting to be rediscovered. Marilyn: The Lost Photographs • The Last Interview is Marilyn Monroe in her own words—words that haven’t been published, until now. In this recently restored and complete transcript, Marilyn candidly talks about her childhood and life, fame, the studio system, her approach to work, celebrity, being a sex symbol, and more. At times joyous, silly, serious, philosophical and pensive, it is a Marilyn that the world has never experienced. Accompanying the interview are more than 400 of Grant’s extraordinary images, most never published until now. This beautifully produced book offers readers a glimpse into Marilyn’s mindset during her final month as she began to assert control of her career and address her relationship with celebrity. Deepening the understanding of Marilyn’s talents, humanity, and true legacy, and the appreciation of her true beauty, this is a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic figures in history.

Marilyn: The Lost Photographs, the Last Interview

This book addresses the various ways in which people survive traumatic events. It juxtaposes the experiences of Israeli and German survivors and examines how individuals face major adversities in their lives. Deviating from the current focus on trauma and traumatic stress disorders, we highlight the ways in which individuals under duress find ways to reduce harm, cope with loss, endure pain, preserve attachment bonds, protect their identities and maintain a sense of uninterrupted existence. The case material consists of 25 interviews with survivors from all walks of life, conducted by Dr. Keren-Miriam Adam. 
Professor Arieh Shalev discusses the war in Ukraine and the new ecology of disaster.

Surviving Trauma and Major Adversities

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

*Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize and the Franco-British Society Literary Award* *Shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize* A magnificent biography of the founder of ImpressionismIn the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.
