Book Synopsis Digital Objects, Digital Subjects by : David Chandler
Download or read book Digital Objects, Digital Subjects written by David Chandler and published by University of Westminster Press. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores activism, research and critique in the age of digital subjects and objects and Big Data capitalism after a digital turn said to have radically transformed our political futures. Optimists assert that the ‘digital’ promises: new forms of community and ways of knowing and sensing, innovation, participatory culture, networked activism, and distributed democracy. Pessimists argue that digital technologies have extended domination via new forms of control, networked authoritarianism and exploitation, dehumanization and the surveillance society. Leading international scholars present varied interdisciplinary assessments of such claims – in theory and via dialogue – and of the digital’s impact on society and the potentials, pitfalls, limits and ideologies, of digital activism. They reflect on whether computational social science, digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication lead to digital positivism that threatens critical research or lead to new horizons in theory and society.

Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Risk Studies by : Adam Burgess
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Risk Studies written by Adam Burgess and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is over 40 years since we began to reflect upon risk in a more social than technological and economic fashion, firstly making sense of the gap between expert and public assessment of risks, such as to our health and environment. With fixed certainties of the past eroded and the technological leaps of ‘big data’, ours is truly an age of risk, uncertainty and probability - from Google’s algorithms to the daily management of personal lifestyle risks. Academic reflection and research has kept pace with these dizzying developments but remains an intellectually fragmented field, shaped by professional imperatives and disciplinary boundaries, from risk analysis to regulation and social research. This is the first attempt to draw together and define risk studies, through a definitive collection written by the leading scholars in the field. It will be an indispensable resource for the many scholars, students and professionals engaging with risk but lacking a resource to draw it all together.
Book Synopsis The Social Response to Environmental Risk by : Daniel W. Bromley
Download or read book The Social Response to Environmental Risk written by Daniel W. Bromley and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992-03-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have undertaken this volume in the belief that there is now sufficient research completed on environmental risk to justify a retrospective assessment of what is known. Our authors and our intended audience are eclectic indeed. Environ mental risk assessment receives increasing attention in the media today. The populace is practically assaulted with stories, with anecdotes, and with conflicting evidence. It is our hope that these chapters will provide the reader with a comprehensive glimpse of a fast-growing field in public policy. No complete survey of the literature would be possible or meaningful. We offer here instead the integrative thoughts of some of the most respected analysts in the field. We believe that the coverage is coherent, the perspectives are illuminating, and the individual "treatments deserving of careful study. We are grateful to Warren Samuels of Michigan State University who is editor of the Kluwer series on recent economic thought. We are also grateful to our Kluwer editor, Zach Rolnik. Both have been gracious in their toleration of unconscionable delays.

Book Synopsis To Encourage the Others by : David Yallop
Download or read book To Encourage the Others written by David Yallop and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Murder Case that Shook a Generation On 2nd November 1952, two teenagers were trapped by police on a warehouse roof. In the course of what the national press were to describe as 'a Chicago-style gun battle', P.C. Sidney Miles was shot between the eyes and died. 16-year-old Christopher Craig and 19-year-old Derek Bentley were subsequently arrested and sent to trial. They came to personify the disaffected youth of post-war Britain, but Derek Bentley became much more. His story and ultimate fate are unique in the annals of criminal history. Originally published in 1971, and the subject of a controversial television play, To Encourage the Others dramatically re-opens a case which still demands that justice be done. There are many reasons why David Yallop is considered the world's greatest investigative author. To Encourage the Others is one of them: as powerful an argument against capital punishment as has ever been published.

Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs L complained about the care that her father, the late Mr M, received at a Wakefield Metropolitan District Council-funded care home, Hazel Garth and from a visiting community nurse funded by NHS Wakefield District Primary Care Trust. Mr M was visited by the nurse on 13 October 2009 to deal with a problem with a catheter. Later that day he became unwell and was taken to hospital, where he was treated for urinary sepsis as well as a grade 4 necrotic (dead tissue) pressure ulcer on his sacrum. He was treated with antibiotics and recovered somewhat, but he died on 23 November 2009. Mrs L was not satisfied with the responses to her complaints to the Council and the Trust, and complained to the Ombudsmen. Their investigations find service failure by both Council and Trust for the care provided in the home and by the nurse. They also found failings in record keeping at the home and maladministration by both Council and Trust in dealing with Mrs L's complaints. The Council and the Trust's successor (Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group) are instructed, within three months: to write to Mrs L apologising for the service failures and distress caused by the maladministration; to compensate her for the poor complaint handling; and to prepare action plans that describe what they have done to ensure they have learnt the lessons from the failings identified and what they have done or plan to do to avoid a recurrence.

Book Synopsis Injustice in Residential Care by : Great Britain. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
Download or read book Injustice in Residential Care written by Great Britain. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-03-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This joint report from the Health Service Ombudsman and the Local Government Ombudsman investigates complaints made by Mr & Mrs Taylor against Buckinghamshire County Council and Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership Trust. The complaints concern the care provided to their son, Frank, an adult with severe learning disabilities, from June 2001 to September 2003. Frank has no speech; cannot bathe, shave or dress himself; needs assistance to go to the toilet; needs to wear incontinence pads at night or for any lengthy periods spent outdoors. He needs one-to-one attention for 95 per cent of his waking time. The Council took over responsibility for the operation and management of the home in July 2002. In the care home his care needs were never properly assessed, and a number of significant failings in the level of care were identified. Complaints to both organisations were dealt with slowly, and there was confusion about which body should address the separate aspect of the complaints. Frank was removed from the care home, and kept and cared for at home for three months with no external support. The Ombudsmen, acting jointly under the Regulatory Reform (Collaboration etc between Ombudsmen) Order 2007, investigated. They find maladministration causing injustice and anxiety and distress to Frank and his parents. The conditions and care within the care home were unacceptable, and the Council failed to recognise that when taking over management responsibility. Frank's human rights may also have been infringed. The Ombudsmen recommend a payment of £32,000 as remedy for the injustice and distress caused.
