Community-based crime control has become one of the principal
policy responses to crime and disorder across western societies,
and is regarded now as one of the keys to successful crime
prevention and reduction. The aim of this book is to bring together
findings from case studies of community-based crime control in
England as a means of examining the prospects for this approach,
its evolving relationship with criminal justice and social
policies, and to assess the lessons internationally that can be
drawn from this in the theory, research methods, politics and
practice of crime control. At the same time the book advances an
important new conceptual framework for understanding
community-based crime control, focusing on an understanding of the
diversity of control and preventative strategies, the locally
particular conditions in which they are conducted, and the degree
of choices open to local political actors involved in their
conduct. Understanding diversity in this way is central to drawing
lessons about the transferability of crime control theory and
practice from one social context to another, avoiding the naA-ve
emulation of practices in different contexts.

What does it mean to study tourism ethnographically? How has the
ethnography of tourism changed from the 1970s to today? What
theories, themes, and concepts drive contemporary research?
Thirteen leading anthropologists of tourism address these
questions, focusing on the experience-near, interpretive-humanistic
approach to tourism studies that emerged in the 1990s and continues
to be prominent today. Widely associated with the work of American
anthropologist Edward Bruner, this perspective is characterized by
an attentiveness to representation, imagination, interpretation,
meaning, and the inherent subjectivity of both ethnography and
tourism as social practices. Contributors draw on their ongoing
fieldwork to illustrate, critically engage, and build upon key
concepts in tourism ethnography today—from experience, encounter,
and emergent culture to authenticity, narrative, contested sites,
the touristic borderzone, embodiment, identity, and mobility. Using
Bruner’s work as a lens for delving into the past, present, and
future of interpretive-humanistic tourism ethnography, these
scholars provide a critical introduction to the state of the art.
With its comprehensive introductory chapter, keyword-based
organization, and engaging style, this volume will appeal to
students of anthropology and tourism studies, as well as scholars
in both fields and beyond.
**Winner of the 2020 Edward Bruner Prize from the Anthropology of
Tourism Interest Group** "Leite, Castaneda, and Adams's volume is a
beautiful retrospective of the enduring importance of Ed Bruner's
work and legacy in our field, and we have no doubt that it will be
used as a central historical, theoretical, and teaching text by
many." - Prize Committee What does it mean to study tourism

Understanding the politics of security in city-regions is
increasingly important for the study of contemporary policing. This
book argues that national and international governing arrangements
are being outflanked by various transnational threats, including
the cross-border terrorism of the attacks on Paris in 2015 and
Brussels in 2016; trafficking in people, narcotics and armaments;
cybercrime; the deregulation of global financial services; and
environmental crime. Metropolises are the focal points of the
transnational networks through which policing problems are exported
and imported across national borders, as they provide much of the
demand for illicit markets and are the principal engines generating
other policing challenges including political protest and civil
unrest. This edited collection examines whether and how governing
arrangements rooted in older systems of national sovereignty are
adapting to these transnational challenges, and considers problems
of and for policing in city-regions in the European Union and its
single market. Bringing together experts from across the continent,
Policing European Metropolises develops a sociology of urban
policing in Europe and a unique methodology for comparing the
experiences of different metropolises in the same country. This
book will be of value to police researchers in Europe and abroad,
as well as postgraduate students with an interest in policing and
urban policy.
The perceived threat of 'transnational organised crime' to
Western societies has been of huge interest to politicians,
policy-makers and social scientists over the last decade. This book
considers the origins of this crime, how it has been defined and
measured, and the appropriateness of governments' policy responses.
The contributors argue that while serious harm is often caused by
transnational criminal activity - for example, trafficking in human
beings - the construction of that criminal activity as an external
threat obscures the origins of these crimes in the markets for
illicit goods and services within the 'threatened' societies. As
such, the authors question the extent to which global crime can be
controlled through law enforcement initiatives and alternative
policy initiatives are considered. The authors also question
whether transnational organised crime will retain its place on the
policy agendas of the United Nations and European Union in the wake
of the 'war on terror'.
Considering both feminist approaches to male violence and those perspectives that treat such violent behaviour as pathological, Adam Jukes explores how depth psychology can be used to treat men who batter women.

This SAGE Handbook brings together cutting edge social scientific
research and theoretical insight into the emerging contours of
digital society. Chapters explore the relationship between
digitisation, social organisation and social transformation at both
the macro and micro level, making this a valuable resource for
postgraduate students and academics conducting research across the
social sciences. The topics covered are impressively far-ranging
and timely, including machine learning, social media, surveillance,
misinformation, digital labour, and beyond. This innovative
Handbook perfectly captures the state of the art of a field which
is rapidly gaining cross-disciplinary interest and global
importance, and establishes a thematic framework for future
teaching and research. Part 1: Theorising Digital Societies Part 2:
Researching Digital Societies Part 3: Sociotechnical Systems and
Disruptive Technologies in Action Part 4: Digital Society and New
Social Dilemmas Part 5: Governance and Regulation Part 6: Digital

What makes a man like John, in every respect a cultured an charming
man, successful in his career and liked by his friends and
acquaintances, behave violently towards a woman he says he loves?
Is he sick? Is he different from other men? Is it, as he says,
Jane's fault? Does she like being beaten? Otherwise why should she
go on doing what she knows upsets him? Adam Jukes hope that by the
end of his demanding but gripping book, the reader will be able to
answer these questions. Adam Jukes works with men who are abusive
and violent to women. In the last eight years he has been involved
in the London Men's Centre, which offers dedicated programs to men
who are violent. He began working with abusive men as a
psychodynamic psychotherapist, but as his work continued, he found
that the work of feminists in the refuge movement and in the
'speaking bitterness' literature could not be ignored. He
integrates these two perspectives in his work. The way in which he
presents men in this book will generate distress for those men who
experience their masculinity as a burden - for he argues that
misogyny, the hatred of women, is an inescapable element in the
development of masculinity. But he also shows how the model of
misogyny which informs the book is applied to an intervention
program to stop male abusiveness.
