Since the legalisation of off-course cash betting in 1960, and the
rise of varying forms of gambling, the British have come to be
known as a nation of gamblers. Until this study was published in
1976, barely any evidence existed against which to assess the claim
that gambling has become a major social problem. The authors
present data drawn from area surveys carried out in Swansea,
Sheffield, Wanstead and Woodford, and explore how well previous
sociological theories of gambling agree with their findings,
particular in connection with certain aspects of work and leisure.
Examining different forms of gambling, including betting, bingo and
slot machines, the chapters consider how gambling choices vary
between different social groups, and how much time and money is
spent on them. With the internet making it easier than ever before
top place bets, this title is especially relevant, and provides a
systematic basis for an explanation of gambling in relation to
social structure.

The idea that gender equality in education has been achieved is now
a staple of public debate. As a result, educational policies and
practices often do not deal explicitly with gender issues, such as
sexual abuse, harassment or violence. Exaggeration of neoliberalism
s successes in creating individual opportunity in education
conceals ongoing problems and ignores the continuing need for a
fair and equal education for all, regardless of gender or
sexuality. In this manifesto for education, Miriam David rejects
the notion that gender equality has been achieved in our age of
neoliberalism. She puts the focus back onto issues such as changing
patterns of women s and girls participation in education across the
globe, feminist strategies for policy and legal interventions
around human rights, and violence against women and children. She
discusses waves of feminism linked to school-teaching and
pedagogies in higher education as well as an illuminating case
study of an international educational programme to challenge
gender-related violence. Revealing neoliberal education to be
misogyny masquerading as metrics , Miriam David argues for changes
in the patriarchal rules of the game, including questioning gender
norms and stereotypical binaries, and for making personal, social,
health and sexuality education mainstream.
In the world of Facebook, Twitter and Yelp, water-cooler
conversations with co-workers and backyard small talk with
neighbors have moved from the physical world to the digital arena.
In this new landscape, organizations ranging from Fortune 500
companies to government agencies to political campaigns
continuously monitor online opinions in an effort to guide their
actions. Are consumers satisfied with our product? How are our
policies perceived? Do voters agree with our platform? Measuring
online opinion is more complex than just reading a few posted
reviews. Social media is replete with noise and chatter that can
contaminate monitoring efforts. By knowing what shapes online
opinions, organizations can better uncover the valuable insights
hidden in the social media chatter and better inform strategy. This
book can help anyone facing the challenge of making sense of social
media data to move beyond the current practice of social media
monitoring to a more comprehensive use of social media
intelligence.

The widespread use of information and communications technology
(ICT) has created a global platform for the exchange of ideas,
goods and services, the benefits of which are enormous. However, it
has also created boundless opportunities for fraud and deception.
Cybercrime is one of the biggest growth industries around the
globe, whether it is in the form of violation of company policies,
fraud, hate crime, extremism, or terrorism. It is therefore
paramount that the security industry raises its game to combat
these threats. Today's top priority is to use computer technology
to fight computer crime, as our commonwealth is protected by
firewalls rather than firepower. This is an issue of global
importance as new technologies have provided a world of opportunity
for criminals.This book is a compilation of the collaboration
between the researchers and practitioners in the security field;
and provides a comprehensive literature on current and future
e-security needs across applications, implementation, testing or
investigative techniques, judicial processes and criminal
intelligence. The intended audience includes members in academia,
the public and private sectors, students and those who are
interested in and will benefit from this handbook.
