"Human security" is an approach that rejects the traditional
prioritization of state security, and instead identifies the
individual as the primary referent of security. It offers a way of
broadening our perspective, and recognizing that the most pressing
threats to individuals do not come from interstate war, but from
the emergencies that affect people every day, such as famine,
disease, displacement, civil conflict and environmental
degradation. Human security is about people living their lives with
dignity, being free from "fear" and "want". To date, there has been
a strong tendency to focus on insecurity caused by civil conflict,
with less attention on issues to do with environmental security.
This volume addresses the threat posed by natural disasters, which
represent an increasingly major human security threat to people
everywhere. In looking at natural disasters, this book also refines
the human security approach. It does so through developing its
previously unexplored interdisciplinary potential. This volume
explicitly seeks to bring the human security approach into
conversation with contributions from a range of disciplines:
development, disaster sociology, gender studies, international law,
international relations, philosophy, and public health.
Collectively these scholars unpack the "human" element of "natural"
disasters. In doing so, an emphasis is placed on how pre-existing
vulnerabilities can be gravely worsened, as well as the
interconnected nature of human security threats. The book presents
a variety of case studies that include the Indian Ocean tsunami,
Hurricane Katrina, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the 2011 "triple
disasters" in Japan.

The infusion of digital technology into contemporary society has
had significant effects for everyday life and for everyday crimes.
Digital Criminology: Crime and Justice in Digital Society is the
first interdisciplinary scholarly investigation extending beyond
traditional topics of cybercrime, policing and the law to consider
the implications of digital society for public engagement with
crime and justice movements. This book seeks to connect the
disparate fields of criminology, sociology, legal studies,
politics, media and cultural studies in the study of crime and
justice. Drawing together intersecting conceptual frameworks,
Digital Criminology examines conceptual, legal, political and
cultural framings of crime, formal justice responses and informal
citizen-led justice movements in our increasingly connected global
and digital society. Building on case study examples from across
Australia, Canada, Europe, China, the UK and the United States,
Digital Criminology explores key questions including: What are the
implications of an increasingly digital society for crime and
justice? What effects will emergent technologies have for how we
respond to crime and participate in crime debates? What will be the
foundational shifts in criminological research and frameworks for
understanding crime and justice in this technologically mediated
context? What does it mean to be a 'just' digital citizen? How will
digital communications and social networks enable new forms of
justice and justice movements? Ultimately, the book advances the
case for an emerging digital criminology: extending the practical
and conceptual analyses of 'cyber' or 'e' crime beyond a focus
foremost on the novelty, pathology and illegality of
technology-enabled crimes, to understandings of online crime as
inherently social. Twitter: @DigiCrimRMIT
