This book analyses the criminalisation of the possession of extreme
pornography through ss 63-68 of the Criminal Justice and
Immigration Act 2008. It documents the legislative history of the
offence and offers a criminological perspective on the role of the
media in the construction of the extreme pornography problem. It
evaluates the elements of the s 63 offence and critically reflects
upon their weaknesses. Moreover, the book presents an up-to-date
account of the number of prosecutions initiated and convictions
obtained under s 63 since it came into force, alongside an
exploration into the corresponding sentencing trends. The first
study of its kind in England and Wales since the controversial
legal provisions at issue came into effect in 2009, this book
contributes new evidence to the application of the extreme
pornography provisions and will play an important role in shaping
debates on the prosecution of similar offences in the coming years.
This book will serve as an invaluable resource to all those with an
interest in law, criminology, sociology of deviance, sexuality and
pornography studies.
This book explores the links between crime, deviance and popular
culture in our highly-mediatised era, offering an insight into the
cultural processes through which particular practices acquire a
criminal or deviant status, and come to be seen as social problems.
Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the edited collection brings
together international scholars across various areas of
specialisation to provide an up-to-date analysis of some important
and topical issues in 21st-century popular culture. The chapters
look at different aspects of popular culture, including fictional
detective narratives and the true crime genre, popular media
constructions of sexual deviance and Islamophobia, sports, graffiti
and outlaw biker subcultures. The authors examine a wide range of
relevant case studies through a number of crime and
deviance-related theories. Crime, Deviance and Popular Culture will
be of importance to scholars and students across several
disciplines, including criminology, sociology of deviance, social
anthropology, media studies, cultural studies, television studies
and linguistics.
