The Murder of Billie-Jo
In February 1997 Billie-Jo Jenkins was murdered at her home in Hastings, Sussex. In July 1998 her foster father Siôn was convicted and sent to prison for life. After a monumental legal battle, in which there were an unprecedented six court hearings, Siôn Jenkins was finally acquitted in February 2006 after a gross miscarriage of justice. Having already faced three criminal trials, Siôn Jenkins had to undergo a fourth - a trial by media which continues to this day. Now, Siôn Jenkins puts on record what actually happened; the whole story from the beginning.
Beyond Reasonable Doubt
Most people will have heard of the murder of 13-year-old, Billie-Jo Jenkins in February 1997, in Hastings, East Sussex, and the discovery of her body by her foster father, Sion Jenkins. Everyone will have their own views as to what happened on that fateful day. This raises two pertinent questions. Where do we get our views from? And, what makes us think that we can possibly have any idea as to what actually happened? The chief suspect, Billie-Jo's foster father, Sion Jenkins, was subjected to a 'lynch mob' mentality, largely fuelled by the media and to seemingly endless legal processes. It became increasingly obvious that the police and some members of the judiciary, together with people tha...
Religious Freedom and Mass Conversion in India
Hinduism is the largest religion in India, encompassing roughly 80 percent of the population, while 14 percent of the population practices Islam and the remaining 6 percent adheres to other religions. The right to "freely profess, practice, and propagate religion" in India's constitution is one of the most comprehensive articulations of the right to religious freedom. Yet from the late colonial era to the present, mass conversions to minority religions have inflamed majority-minority relations in India and complicated the exercise of this right. In Religious Freedom and Mass Conversion in India, Laura Dudley Jenkins examines three mass conversion movements in India: among Christians in the 1...

Recipes for the Disaster
Winner of the Anne Elder Award and Highly Commended in the Mary Gilmore award.Gareth Sion Jenkins's 'Recipes for the Disaster' is a destabilising travelogue of love, friendship, and adventure that evokes an irresolvable tension between familiarity and strangeness: "Voices unbroken by fences, dismantled by distance". Jenkins's language, ranging from laconic humour to intoxicating description, continually unsettles interpretation. Characters ignite against each other in an interdependence that forms recurring connections and epiphany, particularly through some hallucinatory near-death experiences haunted by the unreliability of memory. Along with vivid incantatory sequences describing these charged inner and outer landscapes, Jenkins observes the globalised homogeneity of the modern city.

Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture
Many teens today who use the Internet are actively involved in participatory cultures—joining online communities (Facebook, message boards, game clans), producing creative work in new forms (digital sampling, modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction), working in teams to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (as in Wikipedia), and shaping the flow of media (as in blogging or podcasting). A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these activities, including opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, development of skills useful in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Some argue that young people pick up these key skills and competencies on t...
