Entertainment media comprises one of the world's largest industries and this collection is important not just for explaining what is happening in Indonesian entertainment media, but also for establishing a theoretical framework for the study of entertainment media in other societies.

SummaryIn this paper I explore the effects of entertainment on aggregate crime rates. I track hourly crime data to analyze the behavior of offenses in a time window around football games played by the national team, in a country were football is the most popular entertainment. I find that total offenses decrease 13 percent during highly relevant games, an effect that comes exclusively from property crime. The decrease in property crime during the game is partially compensated by an increase in non‐property crime in the aftermath of these games.

The role of entertainment in any society offers an important window onto its values, customs, culture and traditions. The socio-economic and political importance of play and entertainment is demonstrated by its inclusion of all classes, ages and genders. The discussion of its role and consequence within a society offers a comprehensive social tool, encompassing how, why, when and where a culture celebrates and enjoys play. The following examination is an inquiry into the various forms of entertainment in pre-Norman Ireland. All available source material has been explored and applied, though principal attention has been given to the early literature and legal material of the Old and Middle Irish periods. Subsequent discussion and examination of extant archaeological and artefactual evidence is also emphasised. Several early legal texts with translation have been added as an appendix to this study. Hitherto untranslated, the texts provide useful insight into the legal stipulations and considerations of various sports. Additionally, they provide important classifications of sport and game according to the age of participant, the inherent danger of the game and the liability for injuries incurred. ; TARA (Trinity?s Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.
