Free Download Christopher Schneider, "Policing and Social Media: Social Control in an Era of New Media"
English | ISBN: 149853371X | 2016 | 174 pages | EPUB | 1235 KB
This book investigates various public aspects of the management, use, and control of social media by police agencies in Canada. This book aims to illustrate the process by which new information technology-namely, social media-and related changes in communication formats have affected the public face of policing and police work.Schneider argues that police use of social media has altered institutional public police practices in a manner that is consistent with the logic of social media platforms. Policing is changing to include new ways of conditioning the public, cultivating self-promotion, and expanding social control. While each case study presented here focuses on a different social media platform or format, his concern is less with the particular format per se, as these will undoubtedly change, and more with developing suitable analytical and methodological approaches to understanding contemporary policing practices on social media sites.

Free Download Julian Go, "Policing Empires: Militarization, Race, and the Imperial Boomerang in Britain and the US"
English | ISBN: 0197621651 | 2023 | 392 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 23 MB
The police response to protests erupting on America’s streets in recent years has made the militarization of policing painfully transparent. Yet, properly demilitarizing the police requires a deeper understanding of its historical development, causes, and social logics. Policing Empires offers a postcolonial historical sociology of police militarization in Britain and the United States to aid that effort. Julian Go tracks when, why, and how British and US police departments have adopted military tactics, tools, and technologies for domestic use. Go reveals that police militarization has occurred since the very founding of modern policing in the nineteenth century into the present, and that it is an effect of the "imperial boomerang."

Free Download Policing the Womb: Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhood (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B8PGCYZH | 2023 | 13 hours and 14 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 384 MB
Author: Michele Goodwin
Narrator: Robin Eller
Policing the Womb brings to life the chilling ways in which women have become the targets of secretive state surveillance of their pregnancies. Michele Goodwin expands the reproductive health and rights debate beyond abortion to include how legislators increasingly turn to criminalizing women for miscarriages, stillbirths, and threatening the health of their pregnancies. The horrific results include women giving birth while shackled in leg irons, in solitary confinement, and even delivering in prison toilets. In some states, pregnancy has become a bargaining chip with prosecutors offering reduced sentences in exchange for women agreeing to be sterilized.
