Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. In recent
decades the video games industry has grown astronomically, quickly
becoming a substantial part of our everyday lives. Alongside the
rise of this technology, the media, academia and, in some cases,
governments, have drawn correlations between video games and
serious instances of violence, focusing most notably on mass
shootings. This narrow debate has distracted from our understanding
of many of the harms which video games can, in some cases, cause,
perpetuate or hide. Drawing upon the emerging deviant leisure
perspective, this book seeks to re-orientate the debate on video
games and their associated potential harms. Through the examination
of culturally embedded harms such as gambling, sexual violence and
addiction, together with the rise in swatting and other activities,
the authors explore the notion that video games are inexplicably
intertwined with aspects of deviancy.

Richard E. Grant is the voice of the Doctor in this six-part
animated storyline produced to coincide with the 40th anniversary
of the TV sci-fi series in 2003. After materialising in the village
of Lannet in Lancashire, the Doctor, along with local barmaid
Alison (voice of Sophie Okonedo) and her boyfriend Joe (Craig
Kelly), find themselves up against an underground alien force
called the Shalka, who, as part of their preparation for an all-out
invasion of Earth, are stripping away the ozone layer from the
planet.
From the Alcatraz East Crime Museum and Jack the Ripper guided
tours to the Phnom Penh killing fields, 'dark tourism' is now a
multi-million-pound global industry. Even in the most pleasant
tourist destinations, underlying harms are constantly perpetuated,
affecting both consumers and those who work or live around such
tourist hotspots. Highlighting 50 travel destinations across six
continents, expert criminologists, psychologists and historians
explore the past and contemporary issues which we often disregard
during our everyday leisure. This captivating book is the 'go-to'
guide for anyone interested in crime and deviance-related tourism.
Accessible and digestible, it exposes a worrying trend in
contemporary consumer culture, in which many of us partake.
"When two deadbeat brothers accidentally steal a time machine, the
consequences have already happened. Or will happen. Or will have
been happening. Look, just read the book will you? It'll be easier
on the both of us. I'm going for a lie down." The Adventures of
Jack and Joe is a science fiction comedy featuring private
detectives Jack and Joe. Time Gentlemen follows the exploits of our
heroes as they travel back and forth through time and inadvertently
save the human race. Along the way they get themselves in trouble
with the police, prevent the assassination of a world leader,
discover a virtual world, make a robotic enemy, rescue a naked
woman, make a rival detective envious and track down a missing cat.
And all the while people keep trying to kill 'em! And best of all
there are no loose ends! Probably*. This is Craig P. Kelly's first
novel. He thought it was a good idea at the time. *Absence of loose
ends is not guaranteed.
