Surveillance, Crime and Social Control (International Library of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Penology - Second Series)

Post 9/11 the need for an expansion of surveillance and greater expenditure on surveillance capabilities has been argued for by government and industry to help combat terrorism. This has been coupled with increasing incorporation of surveillance technologies into the routine practice of criminal justice. This important collection draws together key contemporary writings to explore how the surveillance gaze has been directed in the name of crime control. Key issues include theories on surveillance, CCTV, undercover police surveillance, bodies databases and technologies, and surveillance futures. It will be an essential collection for law librarians and criminologists.

Pre-crime: Pre-emption, precaution and the future (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice)

Pre-crime aims to pre-empt ‘would-be-criminals’ and predict future crime. Although the term is borrowed from science ﬁction, the drive to predict and pre-empt crime is a present-day reality. This book critically explores this major twenty-first century development in crime and justice.  This first in-depth study of pre-crime defines and describes different types of pre-crime and compares it to traditional post-crime and crime risk approaches. It analyses the rationales that underpin pre-crime as a response to threats, particularly terrorism, and shows how it is spreading to other areas. It also underlines the historical continuities that prefigure the emergence of pre-crime, as well as exploring the new technologies and forms of surveillance that claim the ability to predict crime and identify future criminals. Through the use of examples and case studies it provides insights into how pre-crime generates the crimes it purports to counter, providing compelling evidence of the problems that arise when we act as if we know the future and aim to control it through punishing, disrupting or incapacitating those we predict might commit future crimes. Drawing on literature from criminology, law, international relations, security and globalization studies, this book sets out a coherent framework for the continued study of pre-crime and addresses key issues such as terminology, its links to past practises, its likely future trajectories and its impact on security, crime and justice. It is essential reading for academics and students in security studies, criminology, counter-terrorism, surveillance, policing and law, as well as practitioners and professionals in these fields.

COLD WAR! Rules for Modern Warfare 1960-1990

In 2005-2006, widespread public anger with Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra resulted in a crisis that formed the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD, so-called 'Yellow Shirts'). On 19 September 2006, the crisis culminated in the overthrow of the Shinawatra's government by the coup d'etat of the Royal Thai Army, and the establishment of the junta led by Surayud Chulanont. Two days later, the PAD voluntarily dissolved after announcing its goals had been accomplished. However, when Thaksin-affiliated parties won the 2007 general election, in August 2008 the PAD regrouped and launched a new wave of protests, between others sizing the Government House, airports of Phuket, Krabi, and Hat Yai, and blocking major highways. Reinforced by sympathetic labor units that stopped train services and threatened to shut off electricity and water services to non-PAD supporters.However, the military coup resulted in the creation of another political movement - name the Red Shirts - led by the segments of population frustrated by inequality and mishandling of the state, the government, and the economy by the ruling-class hegemony, and supportive for the deposed Prime Minister. In turn, the PAD aligned itself with several state-enterprise units, human-rights- and civil politics activists who feared human rights abuses and the loss of the freedom of press.In 2007. Shinawatra successfully defended himself and won new elections. Six years later, renewed political crisis and period of instability and insurrection erupted over the election of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra (Thaksin's brother). This led to another coup d'etat and the establishment of a new military junta.Dominated by the Red Shirt/Yellow Shirt dispute, the crisis in Thailand of 2000-2015 period shook the fundaments of the state, and is still dropping a deep shadow over the future of the country as of 2002. Red Shirt/Yellow Shirt: Protests and Insurrection in Thailand, 2000-2015, is the concise military-political history of this dispute.

Can't We All Just Get Along?: Resolving Baseball's Civil war

The age-old battle in baseball rages stronger than ever. Launch angle versus swing down on the ball. Analytics versus trusting your gut. New-age, sabermetric-driven approaches versus the traditional lens that had been placed over the game for well over a centry. The divide is large and growing as we speak. "Can't We All Just Get Along?" takes an objective approach to outlining instances when both traditional and progressive means of viewing, analyzing and quantifying the game of baseball hit the nail on the head, as well as miss the mark entirely. Whether or not the quibbling will ever be resolved, "Can't We All Just Get Along?" looks to bridge the gap between the two growing armies of rabid baseball fans, coaches, executives and more!
