Virtually Criminal
Amidst the sensationalist claims about the dangers of the Internet, Virtually Criminal provides an empirically grounded criminological analysis of deviance and regulation within an online community. It integrates theory and empiricism to forge an explanation of cybercrime whilst offering new insights into online regulation. One of the first studies to further our understanding of the causes of cyber deviance, crime and its control, this groundbreaking study from Matthew Williams takes the Internet as a site of social and cultural (re)production, and acknowledges the importance of online social/cultural formations in the genesis and regulation of cyber deviance and crime. A blend of criminolo...
Matthew Williams,
Jennifer's husband is missing. She has decided not to go to the police but to a little known private detective to try to find him. Matthew Williams has been a private detective for years and usually handles divorce cases and other small stuff. He has no idea what he has signed on for but soon finds out that this is not an ordinary missing person case. Jennifer is rich and lives in a very upscale neighborhood with antiques cars, butlers, maids, and most things we all dream of having. She is intriguing and beautiful but has a past that she is not willing to expose and the deeper Matthew digs, the more dangerous it becomes. Matthew Williams, P.I. is a mystery that will have you guessing till the end with twists and turns around every corner with the suspense beginning with the first chapter. Anticipation to find the answers will have you wanting to sneak a peek at the end but hold back and be amazed as the story unfolds into an unbelievable web of deceit, murder, drugs, and political involvement. Matthew Williams has only just begun.
The Cultural Critics
Originally published in 1979, the central focus of this study is the concept of culture as employed by English literary intellectuals over the preceding 100 years, a period characterized by a constant process of re-definition and change. The tradition of criticism in which these intellectuals wrote represented the artistic imagination as a moral force in society and a fundamental mechanism for social change. The author traces this tradition through the writings of various English intellectuals, using the three main figures of Matthew Arnold, F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams to elucidate the concept. She shows, through the writings of their contemporaries, how the concept was employed and mo...
Cardiff Castle and the Marquesses of Bute
Cardiff Castle is a major Roman, Norman and medieval survival, but what sets it apart is its extraordinary redevelopment during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, culminating in the fairytale Gothic Revival extravagances we see today. In this sumptuous illustrated study of the past 250 years of its history, the castle's curator, Matthew Williams, celebrates this reinvention, which was led by several generations of the wealthy Bute family. Eighteenth-century building and landscape work by the renowned landscape designer 'Capability' Brown and the architect Henry Holland was followed by William Burges' fantastical transformation in the nineteenth century, together creating what is now on...

How language works in politics
There were more colons used in legislation in 2015 than there were words enacted in 1900. Using analysis from machine readings of all legislation enacted between 1900 and 2015, this book discusses the social impact of increasingly elastic legislative language on the contemporary workings of the British constitution. The hot-button debates of our time — from immigration to European integration, to the creeping power of judges — have, at their core, battles over what policy instructions are authoritative. The book encourages readers to connect the dots of British statecraft, and to understand how, exactly, public demands are transferred into laws that are then implemented with greater and lesser degrees of success. Crucially, it shows that vague legislation has a tremendous impact on policy delivery, disproportionately affecting the weakest, in areas including immigration, homelessness and anti-discrimination.
