'Why it's time to break the rules to get ahead.' Marie Claire 'A no-nonsense guide to scaling the ranks.' The Times Forget the glass ceiling - there's also a glass wall dividing men and women in the workplace, separating them in terms of career success. In this 10th anniversary edition, the authors look at what has changed for women in the workplace since 2016. Spoiler alert - not a lot. The Glass Wall is a pragmatic guide to success for women at work. Since the first edition was published ten years ago, whilst there has been some meaningful progress, in some areas things have gone into reverse. In this 10th anniversary edition, the authors examine the latest research and gauge whether things have improved or not for women at work since the #MeToo movement and the global pandemic, both causing seismic change. Every week brings new headlines that cause unease as much as reason to celebrate. Women still make up less than 10% of CEOs in FTSE 100 companies; a 2024 report found that women are still subject to shocking levels of sexual harassment and bullying; generative AI is sustaining stereotyped images and exacerbating inequity and the 'manosphere' is spawning a new generation of misogyny. In terms of real power, both in government and at work, things haven't changed enough. Debates about the pros and cons of remote and hybrid working continue to impact women and their careers. More companies offer parental leave to new parents, but most of it is still taken by mothers rather than fathers. The new debate around menopause at work is positive, unless it becomes another stick to keep women down. The Glass Wall, 10th Anniversary Edition helps new groups of women to navigate the workplace, make their lives happier and empower real change.

Success strategies for women at work – and businesses that mean business – 10th anniversary edition

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This edited collection reflects the diversity of gender-based violence and presents new perspectives and expands current scholarship in global contexts.

It showcases how digital technology permeates violence and harm in diverse ways – whether this be via surveillance technology, harmful ideology or hate speech online or the globalised nature of the internet. With reflections on how people can research and challenge gender-based violence and harm in the future, it speaks to those interested in digital harm across Sociology, Criminology, Psychology, Youth Studies, Education, Law, Media and/or Cultural Studies.

New Perspectives on Global Gender-Based Violence

“Propaganda Studies in Criminology constructs a missing bridge between the two critical discourses of the 20th century that most candidly confronted the emotional and moral features of populism in politics and penalty in the 20th century the confluence of which is now unmistakable in the 21st. Scholars of both fields will owe an enormous debt to this collection and its editors.”
-Joanathan Simon, Lance Robbins Professor of Criminal Justice Law, UC Berkeley Law, USA
“This is a ground-breaking collection that showcases what can be gained by using propaganda studies as the lens through which to enliven the criminological imagination. The editors and the contributing authors have produced a text of remarkable range and sophistication, transforming our understanding of “fake news” and the politics of misinformation more generally. It is an outstanding achievement.” 
-Eamonn Carrabine, Professor of Criminology, University of Essex, UK
“A blazing volume that convincingly establishes propaganda as a crucial issue for criminology. The book constitutes a critical intellectual project tracing the common elements in Nazi messaging, the US War on Drugs, Indonesian genocide, far right environmental propaganda in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia and more.”
-Sarah Armstrong, Professor of Criminology, Glasgow University, UK
“Propaganda Studies in Criminology breaks new ground for the field by taking propaganda seriously as a topic. It does so in diverse and novel domains that open up the propaganda lens in a way that is theoretically fertile and substantively interesting.” 
&nbsp;-John Braithwaite, Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia
This edited collection comprehensively introduces propaganda studies to criminology academics, practitioners and students. It brings to life the challenges of analyzing, researching and responding to the problems of propaganda. It uses a broad definition of ‘propaganda’ to include such phenomena as ‘fake news’ and AI or algorithmic methods of control. It includes some more classic readings and analysis of propaganda studies through contemporary case studies, such as the war on drugs. It provides a key resource for research and teaching.
Deborah H. Drake is Professor of Criminology and Social Justice at The Open University, UK.&nbsp; 
Reece Walters is Professor of Criminology at Deakin University, Australia.&nbsp;

Propaganda Studies in Criminology

Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;explores the evolving and emerging relationship between crime and technology in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, along with its implications for new perceptions of crime and deviance. It evaluates the rise of the World Wide Web and the model of cybercrime, questions whether existing criminological thought offers relevance and efficacy in current circumstances, conditions and future predictions, and revisits the concept of Relative Deprivation and&nbsp;the underpinning social psychological and socio-political foundations of it. It argues that&nbsp;Relative Deprivation&nbsp;allied to post-industrial precarity provides a central platform for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected and hyper-commercial neoliberal world.&nbsp;The book develops to explore current criminological and security conceptions of artificial intelligence, big data, crime and social control, as well as hacktivism, and how opportunities for crime have become ‘democratised’ and expanded through the Web. Drawing&nbsp;on empirical data, theoretical narratives and a review of the state of crime now and in a speculative near future, Hamerton and Webber discuss some potential directions for a new transdisciplinary critical criminology.&nbsp;

'The most&nbsp;energising book I've read this year. As a parent I was transfixed by recognition. As a therapist it opened my eyes' Chris Cleave, author of Everyone Brave is ForgivenADHD. OCD. Toxic.&nbsp; Unwell.A new language has entered our culture. Over the past decade, psychiatrist Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell noticed more and more girls describing themselves through the lens of 'therapy speak' and psychiatric diagnoses, often pulled from social media. At the same time, she saw parents responding to this jargon with either alarm or dismissiveness, widening the communication gap between the generations.In Girlhood, Translated, Dr Garfinkle-Crowell explores how&nbsp;therapy speak is reshaping the identities of girls. Drawing on vivid stories from the therapy room, she reveals, with stunning insight and compassion, the dynamics at play underneath the labels. She helps us understand why girls turn to this language in the first place - and what they're trying to say when they do.Girlhood, Translated&nbsp;is both an urgent call to change the conversation around mental health and a tender, beautifully written portrait of modern girlhood. Exploring what happens when human emotion is pathologised, Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell shows us how we can move beyond the language of illness towards greater agency, healing and connection.'Exceptional. Will change conversations the very next day' Professor Peter Fonagy'Phenomenal. Funny, wise and compassionate' Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect'I recommend this book to all who have contact with teenage girls' Mary Pipher, author of&nbsp;Reviving Ophelia&nbsp;and&nbsp;Women Rowing North

Understanding Girls in the Age of Therapy Speak and Self-Diagnosis

Girlhood, Translated

The search for a notorious vigilante exposes the secrets among three generations of women, from contemporary L.A. to gritty 1970s New York, in this propulsive novel hailed as “an unputdownable paean to female rage and retribution” by #1 bestselling author Jodi Picoult. Los Angeles, 2024. After learning that her A-list actor husband sent explicit photos to multiple girls on social media, Margot Cooper runs away from the world—and the paparazzi—by fleeing to her childhood home with her teenage daughter in tow. But home isn’t the sanctuary Margot was hoping for. In a cardboard box in the corner of the attic, she finds damning evidence of an infamous urban legend, the mysterious vigilante “Lady X”—including a blurry newspaper photo of a woman who looks an awful lot like Margot’s mother. New York City, 1977. In the midst of an infamous summer, Ginger Daughtry and her two beloved roommates are able to shield one another from the chaos—until one of them is assaulted. Astounded by the lack of response from police, the young women decide to engage in some light payback, signing their handiwork as “Lady X.” Soon copycats appear, and a movement inspired by acts of vandalism against terrible men spirals out of control, with criminals running amok under the guise of the enigmatic Lady X. When a body is found fallen—or pushed—from five stories high, the hunt reaches a boiling point.

Palgrave Studies in Crime, Media and Culture

This book reveals how ableism permeates cultural portrayals of crime. What does it mean to consume crime narratives that are so thoroughly ableist? While there are many interpretations of crime in media, there is not yet a sustained analysis of its ableist underpinnings and the social and cultural significance of its seemingly endless consumption. Using a range of texts as illustrative material, each chapter explores a strand of the ableist imaginary, how it underpins crime narrativization, and how it is normalized via our consumption. This book argues that the portrayal of crime constitutes a major site for the articulation and defense of ableist thinking. As such, it is a cultural practice replete with symbolic, social and political effects that hamper the lives of disabled people while securing the privileges appended to bodyminds that pass as "normal." Drawing on radical constructivist logic, this book speaks to those interested in representations of crime and contributes to the emerging subfield of crip criminology.

The story of Florence Allen, the first woman judge in the United States, and women's transformation of the legal system. Florence Allen was the first woman judge many times over--first federal appellate court judge, first elected to a state supreme court, and first shortlisted for the U.S. Supreme Court. During Allen's forty years on the bench, the country swung between progressivism and conservatism, with passage of a constitutional amendment for women's voting rights, two world wars, the Red and Lavender Scares, and the New Deal.Amid these changes, women used their new political standing to transform the courts, first by becoming active agents in the justice system, and then by developing theories of public law, social justice, and fair process. Exploring Allen's fascinating legal life, Tracy Thomas recounts the larger history of how women infiltrated the legal system as judges, lawyers, jurors, and legislators to demand a more representative system of justice for the welfare of all.

Fantastically Great Women Who Saved the Planet

In seinem satirischen Sachbuch-Debüt 'Alpha-Boys' geht Comedian Aurel Mertz dorthin, wo wenig geweint und noch weniger gelacht wird: zu den Brutstätten der neuen Männlichkeit.Theoretisch dürfen Männer sich die Fingernägel lackieren und müssen Konflikte nicht mit den Fäusten regeln. Doch so ganz scheint es dem Y-Chromosom nicht zu behagen, weshalb der Trend für junge Männer heute wieder zum traditionellen Rollenbild geht.Aurel Mertz, selbst Mann, ist davon komplett verwirrt: Warum nach Muskeln und Krypto-Geld streben, statt die Freiheiten einfach anzunehmen? Was hat uns so verletzt, dass wir Einsamkeit und emotionale Verrohung suchen? Worin unterscheiden sich Alphas eigentlich von Betas und Sigmas? Und was haben Trump, Putin und sogar Friedrich Merz damit zu tun?Allein unter Männern - ein Horrortrip durchs Patriarchat im EndstadiumIn 'Alpha-Boys' begibt sich Aurel Mertz auf eine Reise durch die Manosphere und sucht all jene Orte auf, an denen die Männerseele leidet, aber auch Leid und Misogynie verbreitet. Mit seinem unverwechselbaren Humor findet er Antworten in Verletzlichkeit, im Kapitalismus und sogar im indonesischen Dschungel.

Alpha-Boys

Journalist Kylie Cheung delivers an urgent, incisive look at how abusers—from empires to intimate partners—use the same gaslighting playbook to oppress victims, silence their voice, and stay in power Who has the right to their own body? Who has the right to self-defense? Who gets to walk away? From the genocide in Gaza to the state-sanctioned control of women’s bodies, Kylie Cheung confronts the most urgent moral and political crises of our time through an incisive, illuminating lens: DARVO—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. While DARVO originated in the psychology of domestic abuse and intimate partner violence, Cheung shows how it’s deployed en masse, at every level—and how it can become the blueprint for empire itself. From the spectacle of Depp v. Heard to horrors perpetrated by Israeli prison guards, Cheung exposes how abusers both individual and institutional flip the script and perform victimhood to justify domination. With unflinching clarity, Playing the Victim traces how these tactics shape everything from media propaganda and imperial warfare to anti-feminist backlash, transphobic legislation, and racialized state violence. Each chapter peels back another layer of the mirror-world machine that distorts oppressors into victims and twists resistance into crime. Essential for anyone seeking to understand how power works in the 21st century—and at whose cost—this book is piercing, clear-eyed, and rigorously researched. Unpacking how domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, colonial violence, and capitalist cruelty function as interlocking systems of control, Cheung helps readers understand how power hides behind ersatz victimhood—and how this plays us all.
