This book is about the cultural and economic significance of "street life." Ever since ancient Athens and Greece, Engwicht argues, streets have been a major center of commerce, socialization, and cultural exchange. But the advent of automobiles and suburbanization in the 20th century eroded the richness of American streetlife. Streets and sidewalks, once filled with people and furniture, are now filled with automobiles carrying citizens to those indoor streets, malls. Using an abundance of drawings that detail urban traffic patterns, Engwicht prescribes a series of creative methods for returning vibrancy to the street--everything from reducing traffic with more one-way routes to making avenues more like living rooms with the addition of rugs, television sets, and bulletin boards.

In an age of mass camera surveillance people in the UK have become the most watched, catalogued and categorised people in the western world, all with little public debate or opposition. Nor has there been much more critical research that understands CCTV within the broader social relations out of which it has grown and consolidated. The aim of this book is to analyse the use of CCTV within this broader social, political and ideological context, focusing on relations between surveillance, power and social order, using Liverpool as a case study. At the same time the book provides a study of social control in Liverpool city centre, exploring the development of, and meaning attributed to, social control practices by those at the centre of the implementation and management of these practices. As such the book is a study of the 'locally powerful', their organisation through the local state, and their perceptions of order and disorder in the city centre. Liverpool's CCTV network is thus seen as emblematic of the developments in social control which the book explores. The book makes a key contribution to theoretical debates around social control in four respects: it places the analysis of CCTV within an understanding of the social relations in which the technology emerged; it analyses CCTV as a normative tool of social control and not merely as a piece of crime prevention technology; it considers how social scientists and criminologists think about and understand social control in the contemporary setting; and finally it seeks to draw lessons from the Liverpool case study and considers their applicability to the study of CCTV more generally.

A treatise of Black women’s transformative influence in media and society, placing them front and center in a new chapter of mainstream resistance and political engagement In Reclaiming Our Space, social worker, activist, and cultural commentator Feminista Jones explores how Black women are changing culture, society, and the landscape of feminism by building digital communities and using social media as powerful platforms. As Jones reveals, some of the best-loved devices of our shared social media language are a result of Black women’s innovations, from well-known movement-building hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #SayHerName, and #BlackGirlMagic) to the now ubiquitous use of threaded tweets as a marketing and storytelling tool. For some, these online dialogues provide an introduction to the work of Black feminist icons like Angela Davis, Barbara Smith, bell hooks, and the women of the Combahee River Collective. For others, this discourse provides a platform for continuing their feminist activism and scholarship in a new, interactive way. Complex conversations around race, class, and gender that have been happening behind the closed doors of academia for decades are now becoming part of the wider cultural vernacular—one pithy tweet at a time. With these important online conversations, not only are Black women influencing popular culture and creating sociopolitical movements; they are also galvanizing a new generation to learn and engage in Black feminist thought and theory, and inspiring change in communities around them. Hard-hitting, intelligent, incisive, yet bursting with humor and pop-culture savvy, Reclaiming Our Space is a survey of Black feminism’s past, present, and future, and it explains why intersectional movement building will save us all.

Reclaiming Our Streets: Rethinking Gang Outreach for an Effective Solution ★★★By TQ BONNER★★★ In "Reclaiming Our Streets," the author takes us on a gripping journey through the heart of communities plagued by gang violence and offers a groundbreaking perspective on tackling this crisis. Drawing from years of first-hand experience within the criminal justice system, the author brings to light the devastating impact of gangs on our neighborhoods, particularly at-risk youth. As a street outreach supervisor, the author led a team on a mission to persuade gang members to choose a different path, away from crime's clutches. However, the struggle to save these young lives from a downward spiral often ended in heartbreak. Each funeral they attended for fallen teenagers served as a haunting reminder of the urgent need for action. One pivotal moment shattered the author's emotional defenses, leading to a profound realization of the need for a new approach. A heart-wrenching encounter with a ♥young girl ♥at a funeral made the author question the effectiveness of traditional gang outreach initiatives. In "Reclaiming Our Streets," the author fearlessly examines the limitations of current outreach strategies, presenting compelling evidence that demands a reevaluation of our efforts. This eye-opening book emphasizes the need for awareness and action to address the root causes of gang violence. The author meticulously analyzes the impact of social and economic factors on the emergence and sustenance of gangs within our communities. "Reclaiming Our Streets" is groundbreaking, challenges conventional notions, and calls for a paradigm shift in our fight against gang violence. It presents a comprehensive and compassionate roadmap toward an effective solution, urging us all to unite in reclaiming our neighborhoods, one street at a time. This book is a must-read for ✓Policymakers. ✓Law enforcement agencies. ✓Community leaders. ✓Mentors ✓Gang Outreach coordinators ✓Juvenile counselors ✓Faith-based organizations Anyone who yearns to see safer streets and a brighter future for our youth. The message is clear: it is time to redefine our approach to gang outreach and work together to build a safer, more compassionate society for future generations.
