"The criminal class were seen as a violent, immoral and dissolute sub-section of Victorian London's population. Making their living through crime and openly hostile to society, their lives were characterised by drunkenness, theft and brutality. This book explores whether this criminal class did indeed truly exist, and how effective were the measures brought against them? Tracing the notion of the criminal class from as early as the 16th century, this book questions whether this sub-section of society did indeed exist. Bach discusses how unease of London's notorious rookeries, the frenzy of media attention and a general panic among the general public enforced and encouraged the fear of the 'criminal class' and perpetuated state efforts of social control. Using the Habitual Criminal Bills, this book explores how and why this legislation was introduced to deal with repeat offenders, and assesses how successful its repressive measures were. Demonstrating how Metropolitan Police and London's Magistrates were not always willing tools of the British state, this book uses court records and private correspondence to reveal how inconsistent and unsuccessful many of these measures and punishments were, and calls into question the notion that the state gained control over recidivists in this period"--

The collaboration between the military and the media that we know today was developed in the first half of the 20th century. This study shows that military leaders were primarily interested in the media because they hoped to achieve objectives that would otherwise be beyond their capacities: they wanted to influence populations, parliaments, and governments – in times of war and peace.

This paper is primarily concerned with the types of data that are of value to sociologists – in this instance, particularly to sociologists of sport. It is argued here that we can and should add works of fiction to the more commonly accepted data sources. Whilst most academic writers may be cautious about the excessive use of invention, even in personal narratives, others are less diffident. The paper examines representations of sport in fiction with specific reference to three novels, their central characters and the insights provided by their fictional beings into the relationship between sport, individuals and society. The novels selected as evidence are Robert Coover's (1992) The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. J. Henry Waugh, PROP (London: Minerva), Richard Ford's (1987) The Sportswriter (London: Flamingo) and Chad Harbach's (2012) The Art of Fielding (London: Fourth Estate). Based on the identification of emerging themes in the novels, and the application of relevant sociological concepts – anomie, alienation and figurations – it is argued that, although the novels' authors are not sociologists, they could be, and although the stories which they tell are not true, they too could be. It is these 'facts' that makes them valuable sources of data.
