Accountability Reconsidered : Voters, Interests, and Information in US Policymaking
The last two decades have witnessed a substantial change in the media environment, growing polarization of the two dominant parties, and increasing inequality of wealth and income.These profound changes necessitate updating our understanding of political accountability.Accountability Reconsidered examines how political accountability functions in the US today given the dramatic changes in voting behavior, media, congressional dynamics, and relations between branches.With particular attention to policymaking, this volume uses original research to analyze micro-foundations of voter behavior, examining its implications for incentives and offering insight into the accountability relationships among voters, interest groups, legislators, and government bureaucracy.Combining contributions from leading experts who write about the political system synoptically with those who focus on specific elements, Accountability Reconsidered brings together distinct perspectives to focus on the effect of the informational environment on government officials, bridging up-to-date knowledge about accountability mechanisms with our overall understanding of political accountability.

The House that Fox News Built? : Representation, Political Accountability, and the Rise of Partisan News
The influence of partisan news is presumed to be powerful, but evidence for its effects on political elites is limited, often based more on anecdotes than science.Using a rigorous quasi-experimental research design, observational data, and open science practices, this book carefully demonstrates how the re-emergence and rise of partisan cable news in the US affected the behavior of political elites during the rise and proliferation of Fox News across media markets between 1996 and 2010.Despite widespread concerns over the ills of partisan news, evidence provides a nuanced, albeit cautionary tale.On one hand, findings suggest that the rise of Fox indeed changed elite political behavior in recent decades.At the same time, the limited conditions under which Fox News' influence occurred suggests that concerns about the network's power may be overstated.

Police Powers and Accountability
The traditional view of the role of the police had come under increasing attacks in the early 1980s.The riots of 1981 and the Scarman Inquiry stimulated a widespread public debate about policing, police powers and accountability.It had become clear that the police did not simply enforce the law.They also made policy about what law to enforce, when to enforce it and against whom to enforce it.It was the control of this discretionary power which was at the heart of the debate at the time. Originally published in 1986, this book considers these critical issues in contemporary policing.It concentrates on those aspects of policing that were usually covered in law and law related courses.It deals with the constitutional framework within which the police operates.It examines the police complaints procedure and the full range of police powers against the background of the political debate at the time.Throughout the book the 1984 Police and Criminal Evidence Act is discussed in detail and its impact upon police and public alike is analysed.

Corruption, Accountability and Discretion
The corruption of public officials in the United States and its corrosive impact on public policy, political stability and democratic institutions, earns it a spot among the most critical public crises of the last decade.There have been scandals involving elected officials across the political spectrum from local elected officials up to the White House, involving conflicts of interest, campaign fundraising and political elections.At the heart of many scandals is the discretionary power of public officials to make decisions based on personal interest, often leading to corruption.Understanding the nature and etiology of corruption is important to drafting controls on discretion and rules for accountability.While strict regulation and oversight mechanisms have previously been designed to encourage ethical decision-making and punish violators, it is the media and citizens that have increasingly become modern mechanisms of accountability.Corruption of public governance not only undermines the effectiveness of the political system; it also results in corrupt public policymaking on the most pressing issues facing Americans today.This timely and insightful book provides the key elements needed to understand the nature and prevalence of corruption in public governance, as well as the devastating public policy consequences.The chapters explore the implications of public governance corruption on political stability, public trust, and policymaking, as well as recommendations for how to establish controls on discretion and strict regulation to increase accountability and corruption control in public governance.

Digital Witness : Using Open Source Information for Human Rights Investigation, Documentation, and Accountability
From videos of rights violations, to satellite images of environmental degradation, to eyewitness accounts disseminated on social media, human rights practitioners have access to more data today than ever before.To say that mobile technologies, social media, and increased connectivity are having a significant impact on human rights practice would be an understatement.Modern technology - and the enhanced access it provides to information about abuse - has the potential to revolutionise human rights reporting and documentation, as well as the pursuit of legal accountability. However, these new methods for information gathering and dissemination have also created significant challenges for investigators and researchers.For example, videos and photographs depicting alleged human rights violations or war crimes are often captured on the mobile phones of victims or political sympathisers.The capture and dissemination of content often happens haphazardly, and for a variety of motivations, including raising awareness of the plight of those who have been most affected, or for advocacy purposes with the goal of mobilising international public opinion.For this content to be of use to investigators it must be discovered, verified, and authenticated.Discovery, verification, and authentication have, therefore, become critical skills for human rights organisations and human rights lawyers. This book is the first to cover the history, ethics, methods, and best-practice associated with open source research.It is intended to equip the next generation of lawyers, journalists, sociologists, data scientists, other human rights activists, and researchers with the cutting-edge skills needed to work in an increasingly digitized, and information-saturated environment.
