This unique collection explores the complex issue of vigilantism,
how it is represented in popular culture, and what is its impact on
behavior and the implications for the rule of law. The book is a
transnational investigation across a range of eleven different
jurisdictions, including accounts of the Anglophone world
(Australia, Britain, Canada, and the United States), European
experiences (Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Portugal), and
South American jurisdictions (Argentina and Brazil). The essays,
written by prominent international scholars in law, sociology,
criminology, and media studies, present data, historical and recent
examples of vigilantism; examine the national Laws and
jurisprudence; and focus on the broad theme of vigilante justice in
popular culture (literature, films, television). Vigilante Justice
in Society and Popular Culture sheds light on this topic offering a
detailed look beyond the Anglophone world. This collection will
enrich the debate by adding the opportunity for comparison which
has been largely lacking in scholarly debate. As such, it will
appeal not only to scholars of law, sociology, criminology, and
media studies, but also to all those who are engaged with these
topics alike.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to law and policy
responses to contemporary problems in Latin America, such as human
rights violations, regulatory dilemmas, economic inequality, and
access to knowledge and medicine. It includes 19 chapters written
by sociologists, lawyers, and political scientists on the
transformations of courts, institutions and rights protection in
Latin America, all of which stem from presentations at conferences
in Oxford and UCL organised by the editors. The contributors
present original analyses based on rigorous research, innovative
case-studies, and interdisciplinary perspectives, all written in an
accessible style. Topics include the Inter-American Court of Human
Rights, institutional design, financial regulation, competition,
discrimination, gender quotas, police violence, orphan works,
healthcare, and environmental protection, among others. The book
will be of interest to students and scholars interested in
policymaking, public law, and development.

computers, phones, and tablets are a crucial part of popular

acquisition of beliefs and to the development of law.. In this
book, readers will find the first transnational, empirical look at
ethnicity, gender, and diversity on legally-themed TV shows.

Brazil, Britain, Canada, Germany, Greece, Poland, Switzerland and
the United States and then examine gender, age, ability, ethnicity,
race, class, sexual orientation and nationality in those shows and
countries. As such, this book provides an important link between
law, TV, and what is going on in real life.
