Sex Crime in the News
First published in 1991, Sex Crime in the News is a unique examination of the nature of sex crime reporting in the press.Analysing examples from forty years of newspaper coverage, the authors provide a systematic study of this controversial topic.The book reveals the misleading and trivializing nature of sex crime coverage, with serious research reports on rape and discussions on law reform being given short shrift.The authors examine the increasing gap between the reality of sexual abuse and the coverage it receives in the press, and they set their detailed empirical work within a context of broader concerns about the relationship between the media, the individual and the state.Critical though it is of the press, this book will be of special interest to people working in the media, and to legislators involved in debates about the press.It will also be of value to students on course in women’s studies, cultural and media studies, and deviancy.

Smartphones, Current Events and Mobile Information Behavior : Consuming, Reacting, Sharing, and Connecting through News
Smartphones and Information on Current Events provides unprecedented insights into young people’s news consumption patterns and the ecology of mobile news.Advancing our knowledge of mobile behaviour, the book also highlights the ways in which mobile news impacts the lives of the general public.Using a multi-faceted research model on mobile news consumption behaviour, Oh and Tang examined a wide spectrum of mobile news consumption activities, outlined the key characteristics of mobile news, as well as captured users’ near real-time evaluation of and emotional reactions to news stories.The book also shows that the process of using smartphones to receive, read, find, share, and store news stories has resulted in new behavioural patterns that enable people to consume news in a multifaceted way.Analyzing the extent and various methods of mobile news sharing can, Oh and Tang argue, help us understand how such exchanges reshape contemporary society.Demonstrating that mobile news consumption is now an integral part of people’s daily lives, the book clearly shows that its impact on people’s day-to-day activities, and their political and social lives, cannot be underestimated.Smartphones and Information on Current Events will be useful to scholars, students, and practitioners who are studying library and information science, journalism and media, digital communication, user behaviour, information technology, human-computer interaction, marketing, political science, psychology, and sociology.

Cybercrime : The Transformation of Crime in the Information Age
How has the digital revolution transformed criminal opportunities and behaviour?What is different about cybercrime compared with traditional criminal activity?What impact might cybercrime have on public security?In this updated edition of his authoritative and field-defining text, cybercrime expert David Wall carefully examines these and other important issues.Incorporating analysis of the latest technological advances and their criminological implications, he disentangles what is really known about cybercrime today.An ecosystem of specialists has emerged to facilitate cybercrime, reducing individual offenders’ level of risk and increasing the scale of crimes involved.This is a world where digital and networked technologies have effectively democratized crime by enabling almost anybody to carry out crimes that were previously the preserve of either traditional organized crime groups or a privileged coterie of powerful people.Against this background, the author scrutinizes the regulatory challenges that cybercrime poses for the criminal (and civil) justice processes, at both the national and the international levels. This book offers the most intellectually robust account of cybercrime currently available.It is suitable for use on courses across the social sciences, and in computer science, and will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

'Crime scene cast'
A crime scene cast is a three-dimensional replica of a footprint, tire track, or other impression found at a crime scene. It is created by pouring a casting material, such as dental stone or plaster, into the impression and allowing it to harden. Once the cast is removed, it can be used as evidence to compare with known shoe or tire patterns to help identify potential suspects. Crime scene casts are an important tool in forensic investigations for linking physical evidence to individuals involved in a crime.
-
Is crime hereditary?
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that crime is hereditary. While genetics may play a role in certain behaviors and personality traits, including impulsivity and aggression, they do not determine criminal behavior. Environmental factors, such as upbringing, socioeconomic status, and community influences, also play a significant role in shaping an individual's likelihood of engaging in criminal activities. Therefore, it is more accurate to view crime as a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and social factors rather than solely a hereditary trait.
