COMING SOON From Rage to

LAW AND CRIME

Reason

Why We Need Sex Crime Laws Based

EMILY HOROWITZ

on Facts, Not Fear

In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable.

From Rage to Reason offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.

FEATURES

• Analyzes the human impact of retributive justice

• Assesses the indirect harm caused by sex offense policies

COMING SOON Organized Environmental Crime Black Markets

DAAN VAN UHM

in Gold, Wildlife, and Timber

Organized Environmental Crime explains how and why transnational criminal organizations diversify into the illegal trade in natural resources. Daan van Uhm breaks new ground by rejecting the classic image of organized crime as specializing in one kind of criminal activity. Instead, the rising global scarcity of natural resources increasingly attracts transnational criminal organizations, which rapidly shift from “traditional” criminal activities, such as drug or human trafficking, to the illegal trade in natural resources.

The proliferation of this organized environmental crime exacerbates the global destruction of ancient rainforests; the mass extinction of species; and the pollution of the atmosphere, land, and water. It undermines local and national economies, deters sustainable development, disturbs ecosystems, and negatively affects all people.

Including personal stories from van Uhm, who has conducted interviews in many areas with criminal activity, this accessible book contributes to two topical debates: one on the increasing involvement of organized crime in the illegal trade in natural resources, and the other on the diversification of organized crime in general. These insights will be crucial for researchers, scientists, law enforcement, policymakers, and non-governmental organizations.

FEATURES

• Develops an innovative approach to understanding how organized crime groups diversify into the illegal trade in natural resources

COMING SOON Copycat Crime

How Media, Technology, and Digital Culture Inspire Criminal Behavior and Violence

JACQUELINE B. HELFGOTT

Across her 30-year career in criminology, author Jacqueline Helfgott has watched with fascination and fear as the world has shifted from a place where one-dimensional televised news each evening and newspapers brought or bought each morning provided the only information on crimes and killings. Now, nonstop, instant global news coverage on 24-hour television and the internet enables people to see and replay not only crime, violence, terrorism, and murder coverage provided by journalists in real time, but also Facebook and YouTube feeds filmed by the criminals themselves while perpetrating the crimes.

In this riveting text about the consequences of our technical, digital, and cultural changes, Helfgott focuses on how these advances are perpetuating this era’s new and more massively deadly acts. The book intertwines vignettes from current events, perpetrator statements, police reports, and current research to show how copycat crimes are linked to media, technology, and our digital culture. Concluding with recommendations to reduce the criminogenic effects of media, technology, and digital culture, this book also includes an appendix listing technology and media-influenced copycat crimes.

FEATURES

• Includes detailed information from research and police reports showing how media and technology influence copycat criminals

• Examines the ways social media is used as a vehicle for “performance crimes” by perpetrators

Democracy Disrupted

Communication in the Volatile 2020 Presidential Election

BENJAMIN R. WARNER, DIANNE G. BYSTROM, MITCHELL S. MCKINNEY, AND MARY C. BANWART, EDITORS

Democracy Disrupted documents the most significant features of the 2020 U.S. presidential election through research conducted by leading scholars in political communication.

Chapters consider the coinciding of three historical events in 2020: a 100-year pandemic co-occurring with the presidential campaign; the reinvigorated call for social and racial justice in response to the killing of George Floyd and other Black men and women; and the authoritarian lurch that emerged in reaction to Donald Trump’s norm-challenging rhetoric. The Democratic Party’s campaign stood out because of the historically diverse field of presidential candidates and the election of the first female vice president.

FEATURES

• Indexes three historic events that coincided to make this an election that will be studied for generations: the pandemic, the insurrection at the capital, and the reinvigoration of the civil rights movement

• Utilizes the context of the COVID-19 pandemic as a natural experiment to examine longuntested assumptions about campaign effects

NEW Women, Power, and Rape Culture The Politics and Policy of Underrepresentation

BONNIE STABILE AND AUBREY LEIGH GRANT

The election of Donald Trump precipitated one of the largest outpourings of political protest on a single day in U.S. history with the 2017 March for Women. The emboldened #MeToo and #TimesUp movements reacted not only to the historical injustice of sexual offenses perpetrated upon women, but women’s associated underrepresentation in positions of power and public authority.

Women, Power, and Rape Culture examines the principal events, actors, and paradigms in the politics of rape, sexual assault, and harassment since Trump’s election. Unlike other studies, it connects these traumatic events to women’s underrepresentation in the public sphere. Chapters consider the power of presidential speech, judges, and Congress to create structural barriers to women’s representation as well as the stultifying effects of weak college and university responses to sexual violence. Disparities in women’s representation in positions of public authority are considered in light of the disproportionate burden imposed on women by a culture that discounts the prevalence of rape and harassment and by the policies that inadequately address them, allowing them to perpetuate.

NEW The New China-Russia Alignment Critical

Challenges to U.S. Security

RICHARD WEITZ

Most experts argue that economic interdependence, nuclear weapons, and the U.S. contribution to maintaining the global commons mean that China and Russia will generally accept U.S. military superiority and U.S. political supremacy in managing global affairs. An agreement between these two powerful countries to work against the United States, however, would greatly increase its vulnerabilities. Relations between the governments of China and Russia with the U.S. have worsened in past years. Identifying the various pathways, events, and political, economic, and military drivers that could shape the dynamics of the China-Russia relationship is of critical importance to U.S. security.

This book examines the sources, nuances, and manifestations of the ongoing Sino-Russian relationship in order to recommend strategy and policy that could work to U.S. advantage. Written by an author who traveled extensively in both countries in order to conduct research and expert interviews for the work, the book covers the latest developments to include the major changes in Chinese foreign policy under President Xi Jinping and ongoing relations with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

FEATURES

• Identifies the challenges Americans would confront if Russia and China continue to align more closely together against the United States and its allies and what interests would be most affected

Defining Biological Threats in U.S. Policy

ALBERT J. MAURONI

Over the last 20 years, the national security community has engaged with disease-related issues that have traditionally been the scope of public health agencies. The federal government’s response has been to create a single national biodefense strategy, which has been largely ineffective in improving conditions due to poor terminology, a lack of leadership, and a failure to assess government programs.

ALBERT J. MAURONI is the director of the U.S. Air Force Center for Strategic Deterrence Studies at Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, AL.

Applying a public policy framework, Albert J. Mauroni examines how the government addresses biological threats—including disease prevention, bioterrorism response, military biodefense, biosurety, and agricultural biosecurity and food safety. He proposes a new approach to countering biological threats, arguing that lead agencies should focus on implementing discrete portfolios with annual assessments against clear and achievable objectives.

FEATURES

• Examines each of the five biological threat sectors and identifies who develops and executes the policy for those sectors, what funding they receive, how each policy area’s objectives are implemented, what congressional committees are involved, and who advocates for them

When Religion and Morals Become OCD

Understanding and Treating Scrupulosity

LESLIE J. SHAPIRO

Two to three percent of the global population suffer from OCD. Of that number, approximately five percent of OCD sufferers report having religious or moral obsessions. Scrupulosity, an often under-recognized subtype of OCD, leads those affected to mistake clinical OCD symptoms for committing sins, offending God, or being morally corrupt. Many people with scrupulosity or moral perfectionism turn to clergy for help rather than a mental health professional.

This book, authored by a therapist among the most experienced in the world in dealing with this disorder, covers the symptoms, diagnosis, history, development, causes, and treatment of scrupulosity. Intended for students, mental health professionals, and clergy, this essential resource includes the latest theory, research, treatments, and case studies necessary to recognize and destigmatize scrupulosity as well as encourage optimal treatment outcomes and relapse prevention.

FEATURES

• Includes a diverse collection of case studies that showcase how OCD does not discriminate by culture or religious faiths

• Provides clear guidelines for assessment and treatment based on the latest research

COMING SOON Black Women at Work On

Refusal and Recovery

WENDI S. WILLIAMS

Gathered around after-work glasses of wine, Black women carve out spaces to process the indignities of their taken-for-granted labor. In Black Women at Work: On Refusal and Recovery, author Wendi Williams asserts that these indignities are neither new nor out of the ordinary, but a symptom of the inequity crafted by design when the first enslaved Africans were trafficked to labor for free to build the foundations of this nation’s wealth.

Williams argues that, as a consequence of intersecting race, gender, and class dynamics, Black women share a number of common experiences in the modern workplace. They are passed over, hidden in plain sight, and shushed or silenced, and they find themselves at career and professional crossroads and experience the microaggression of invisibility.

Through the critical lens of race and feminism, Williams presents examples from her own leadership development work, her personal narrative, and stories pulled from popular culture. Examples from politics, entertainment, and other media demonstrate the widespread nature of these dynamics and how they shape Black women’s lives in spite of their increasing access to power and privilege.
