Criminology Explains School Bullying
In this book, Robert A. Brooks and Jeffrey W. Cohen provide a concise, targeted overview of the major criminological theories to explain the phenomenon of school bullying, bringing to life what is often dense and confusing material with concrete case examples.

Charts, critical thinking questions, and implications for practice and policy illuminate real-world applications, making this is a go-to book for teachers, students, and researchers interested in an empirically driven synthesis of criminological theory as it applies to school bullying.
Computer Games and New Media Cultures
Digital gaming is today a significant economic phenomenon as well as being an intrinsic part of a convergent media culture in postmodern societies. Its ubiquity, as well as the sheer volume of hours young people spend gaming, should make it ripe for urgent academic enquiry, yet the subject was a research backwater until the turn of the millennium. Even today, as tens of millions of young people spend their waking hours manipulating avatars and gaming characters on computer screens, the subject is still treated with scepticism in some academic circles. This handbook aims to reflect the relevance and value of studying digital games, now the subject of a growing number of studies, surveys, conf...

HipHop meets Academia
HipHop ist längst keine blosse Jugendkultur mehr, sondern eine Bewegung, die den Status seines globalen Kulturphänomens erreicht hat. Dieser These gehen hier erstmals Autorinnen und Autoren aus den USA, Kanada, Grossbritannien, Slowenien und Deutschland nach. Gezeigt, wird, wie sich HipHop als weltweite Bewegung in lokalen Formen inszeniert und präsentiert und welche Botschaften, Inszenierungen und Identitätskonstruktionen mit dem HipHop als medienkulturelle und soziale Praxis verknüpft sind. Analysen zu Vermarktungsstrategien, raumbezogenen Inszenierungspraktiken und Stilisierungen am Beispiel des "splash!"-Festivals runden den Band als spannende Lektüre des "glokalen" Kulturphänomens HipHop ab.
