This study provides a comprehensive critique - forensic,
historical, and theoretical - of the moral panic paradigm, using
empirically grounded ethnographic research to argue that the panic
paradigm suffers from fundamental flaws that make it a myth rather
than a viable academic perspective.

This volume draws together research originally presented at the
2015 Future of Journalism conference at Cardiff University, UK. The
conference theme, 'Risks, Threats and Opportunities,' highlighted
five areas of particular concern for discussion and debate. The
first of these areas, 'Journalism and Social Media', explores how
journalism and the role of the journalist are being redefined in
the digital age of social networking, crowd-sourcing and 'big
data', and how the influence of media like Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit affects the gathering, reporting or
consumption of news? 'Journalists at Risk' assesses the key issues
surrounding journalists' safety and their right to report, as news
organizations and their sources are increasingly targeted in war,
conflict or crisis situations. The third area, 'Journalism Under
Surveillance', asks what freedom of the press means in a
post-Snowden climate. What are the new forms of censorship
confronting journalism today, and what emergent tactics will help
it to speak truth to power? 'Journalism and the Fifth Estate'
examines the traditional ideals of the fourth estate, which risk
looking outdated, if not obsolete, in the modern world. How much
can we rely on citizen media to produce alternative forms of news
reporting, and how can we reform mainstream media institutions to
make them more open, transparent and accountable to the public? The
final area, 'Journalism's Values', asks how journalism's ethical
principles and moral standards are evolving in relation to the
democratic cultures of communities locally, regionally, nationally
or internationally. What are the implications of changing
priorities for the education, training and employment of tomorrow's
journalists? Every chapter in this volume engages with a pressing
issue for the future of journalism, offering an original,
thought-provoking perspective intended to help facilitate further
dialogue and debate. The chapters in this book were originally
published in special issues of Digital Journalism, Journalism
Practice, and Journalism Studies.
In the wake of the withdrawal of commercial journalism from local
communities at the beginning of the 21st century, Hyperlocal
Journalism critically explores the development of citizen-led
community news operations. The book draws together a wide range of
original research by way of case studies, interviews, and industry
and policy analysis, to give a complete view of what is happening
to communities as their local newspapers close or go into decline
to be replaced by emerging forms of digital news provision. This
study takes the United Kingdom as its focus but its findings speak
to common issues found in local media systems in other Western
democracies. The authors investigate who is producing hyperlocal
news and why, as well as production practices, models of community
and participatory journalism, and the economics of hyperlocal
operations. Looking holistically at hyperlocal news, Hyperlocal
Journalism paints a vivid picture of citizens creating their own
news services via social media and on free blogging platforms to
hold power to account, redress negative reputational geographies,
and to tell everyday stories of community life. The book also
raises key questions about the sustainability of such endeavours in
the face of optimism from commentators and policy-makers.
Public protection has become an increasingly central theme in the
work of the criminal justice agencies in many parts of the world in
recent years. Its high public profile and consequent political
sensitivity means that growing numbers of criminal justice
professionals find their daily work load dominated by the
assessment and management of high risk of harm offenders.
Developments such as sex offender registers and (in the UK) Multi
Agency Public Protection Arrangements (Mappa) have made this issue
not only a core activity for police, probation and prison services,
but to a range of other organizations as well, in particular social
work and the health services. Partnership has become central to the
concept of public protection. At the same time the concept of
public protection has occasioned increased political debate.
Protecting the public from high risk or dangerous offenders has
become an international issue and has increasingly shaped criminal
justice policy. This text brings together leading authorities in
the field, providing authoritative coverage of the theory and
practice of public protection, both in the UK and internationally.
It provides a critical review of contemporary public protection
practice as well as up-to-date research and thinking in the field.

This text provides an examination of the aetiological
development of forensic criminology within the UK. It links the
subjects of scientific criminology, criminal investigations, crime
scene investigation, forensic science and the legal system, and
provides an introduction to the important processes that take place
from crime scene to courtroom. These processes help identify,
define and label the criminal and are crucial for understanding any
form of crime within society. The book includes sections on:
- the epistemological and ontological philosophies of the natural
sciences,
- the birth of scientific criminology and its search for the
criminal body,
- the development of early forms of forensic science and crime
scene investigation,
- investigating crime,
- information, material and evidence,
- crime analysis and crime mapping,
- scientific support and crime scene examination,
- forensic science and detection methods and forensics in the
courtroom.
The text consists of a mix of historical research and
contemporary criminal justice process chapters that provide an
introduction to the most common forensic practices, procedures and
uses that enable the identification and successful prosecution of
criminals. "Forensic Criminology" provides a framework for
understanding the varieties of information work that exist within
current criminal justice practice.
"
Forensic Criminology" will be essential for students of
criminology, criminal justice, criminal investigations and crime
science. It will also be useful to those criminal justice
practitioners wishing to gain a more in-depth understanding of the
links between criminology, criminal investigations and forensics
techniques.
