Building Sexual Misconduct Cases Against Powerful Men presents a
fine-grained analysis of how the rhetorical and social aspects of
rape culture and patriarchy lead to a pattern of sexual misconduct.
Contributors discuss the causes of the pattern, the obstacles to
overcoming it, and potential solutions through a radical feminist
lens. Scholars of media, legal, gender, and women's studies will
find this volume particularly useful.
Defining Sexual Misconduct investigates shifts in media coverage of
sexual violence and details significant changes in public discourse
about sexual harm. In 2015, the New York Times ran just a single
headline with the term "sexual misconduct." Three years later, it
ran scores of such headlines, averaging more than one per week, and
expanded coverage across other media organizations followed. This
shift in coverage is reflective of significant changes in public
discourse about sexual harm helping to hold some perpetrators
accountable for their behaviour and paved the path for #MeToo and
related movements against sexual abuse and harm to receive national
and global attention. In Defining Sexual Misconduct, Stacey Hannem
and Christopher Schneider trace contemporary shifts in power in
relation to the increased recognition and censure of sexual
misconduct and the ways in which the shifting social landscape is
communicated in the coverage of sexual misconduct in media. Hannem
and Schneider also examine the contemporary dynamics of public
accusations and their relationship to more formal criminal justice
processes, as well as the implications for the stigmatization of
alleged abusers and public response to alleged victims. Since
behaviours categorized as sexual misconduct may not all be defined
as crimes, or punishable through legal means, social censure and
cancel culture often stand as proxy forms of punishment, and the
authors reflect on what the pursuit of justice might look like in
this extra-legal context.

Stigma Revisited: Implications of the Mark is a collection of
qualitative, empirical studies of populations who experience
stigma. Discrimination, marginality and social injustice are
recognized as indelibly tied to the phenomena of stigma. This
volume builds on the work of Erving Goffman and integrates a
larger, structural understanding of stigma based in Michel
Foucault's governmentality writings. Contemporary notions of risk,
riskiness and danger are linked to the labelling of "deviant"
populations in the name of social control and risk management;
these labels result in the institutional and systemic perpetuation
of stereotypes and stigmatic attitudes. The research presented in
this book addresses the individual experience of symbolic stigma as
well as the collective impact of structural stigma. With unique,
personal vignettes that position each of the academic contributors
in relation to their subjects, this collection of essays challenges
social science researchers to understand their own role in
reproducing and contesting hegemonic discourses that stigmatize and
marginalize.

Security and Risk Technologies in Criminal Justice takes students
through the evolution of risk technology devices, processes, and
prevention. This seminal text unpacks technology’s influence on
our understanding of governance and social order in areas of
criminal justice, policing, and security. With a foreword by
leading criminologist, Kevin Haggerty, the collection consists of
three sections that explore the impact of big data, traditional
risk practices, and the increased reliance on technology in
criminal justice. Eight chapters offer diverse examples that are
linked by themes of preventative justice, calculability of risk,
the theatre and reality of technology, and the costs of justice.
With both national and international appeal, this vital resource is
ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in criminology,
police studies, or sociology.
