A "Perfect" Crime
Author: Carl H. Sneider
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503504476
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book is not a crime fiction novel. This is a firsthand report and a true report on how governments or large organisations have succeeded in planning and executing the commission of a "perfect crime" in Australia. It reports on organised, aggravated group stalking attacks being carried out by groups or gangs of persons acting covertly under the cover of darkness with use of advanced electronic devices without cause or regard for basic human rights. Evidence in detail is provided in Appendices to the book taken from firsthand observations or from transcriptions of contemporaneous handwritten notes set down daily in six years of personal diaries. Due to the perpetrators clever use of highly skilled individually contracted surveillance role players in squads of differing and rotating stalker offenders and their training and use of advanced stand-off electronic scanning, listening, sound projection equipmentit has proven nearly impossible for the victim or law enforcement authorities to gather enough credible reliable and sufficient evidence to support the swearing out of an official criminal complaint before the court. Therefore, we have the perfect, practically unsolvable crime.

Sound as Popular Culture
Author: Jens Gerrit Papenburg
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262033909
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Scholars consider sound and its concepts, taking as their premise the idea that popular culture can be analyzed in an innovative way through sound. The wide-ranging texts in this book take as their premise the idea that sound is a subject through which popular culture can be analyzed in an innovative way. From an infant's gurgles over a baby monitor to the roar of the crowd in a stadium to the sub-bass frequencies produced by sound systems in the disco era, sound—not necessarily aestheticized as music—is inextricably part of the many domains of popular culture. Expanding the view taken by many scholars of cultural studies, the contributors consider cultural practices concerning sound not merely as semiotic or signifying processes but as material, physical, perceptual, and sensory processes that integrate a multitude of cultural traditions and forms of knowledge. The chapters discuss conceptual issues as well as terminologies and research methods; analyze historical and contemporary case studies of listening in various sound cultures; and consider the ways contemporary practices of sound generation are applied in the diverse fields in which sounds are produced, mastered, distorted, processed, or enhanced. The chapters are not only about sound; they offer a study through sound—echoes from the past, resonances of the present, and the contradictions and discontinuities that suggest the future. Contributors Karin Bijsterveld, Susanne Binas-Preisendörfer, Carolyn Birdsall, Jochen Bonz, Michael Bull, Thomas Burkhalter, Mark J. Butler, Diedrich Diederichsen, Veit Erlmann, Franco Fabbri, Golo Föllmer, Marta García Quiñones, Mark Grimshaw, Rolf Großmann, Maria Hanáček, Thomas Hecken, Anahid Kassabian, Carla J. Maier, Andrea Mihm, Bodo Mrozek, Carlo Nardi, Jens Gerrit Papenburg, Thomas Schopp, Holger Schulze, Toby Seay, Jacob Smith, Paul Théberge, Peter Wicke, Simon Zagorski-Thomas
