Diverse mediawerelden
Author: Sofie van Bauwel
Publisher: Academia Press
ISBN: 9038215347
Category : Cultural pluralism in mass media
Languages : nl
Pages : 351
Book Description
Diversiteit stond centraal in het onderzoek en onderwijs van wijlen Prof. dr. Frieda Saeys (hoogleraar Communicatiewetenschappen Universiteit Gent 1948-2007) en is het kernconcept waarrond het boek Diverse mediawerelden. Het boek neemt je mee langs vier thema's, behandelt de wereld van media vanuit diverse invalshoeken en methoden, zowel op macro- als microniveau, en biedt bovendien een overzicht van hedendaags onderzoek rond deze thematiek. De eerste twee delen spitsen zich toe op de studie van de audiovisuele mediastructuren en de mediabeleidsproblemen die daaraan verbonden zijn. In 'Diversiteit en minderheden', het derde deel van het boek, worden een aantal bijdragen gebundeld die zich focussen op de problematiek rond media en etnische minderheden. Saeys betrad ook als eerste het onderzoeksdomein dat zich toespitst op gender en media, en de laatste drie bijdragen focussen zich dan daarop.

Facing Hazards and Disasters
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309101786
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Social science research conducted since the late 1970's has contributed greatly to society's ability to mitigate and adapt to natural, technological, and willful disasters. However, as evidenced by Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, and other recent events, hazards and disaster research and its application could be improved greatly. In particular, more studies should be pursued that compare how the characteristics of different types of events-including predictability, forewarning, magnitude, and duration of impact-affect societal vulnerability and response. This book includes more than thirty recommendations for the hazards and disaster community.

Crime, Shame and Reintegration
Author: John Braithwaite
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521356688
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.
