This CRIMSOC Report provides a media analysis of the response to events surrounding the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, St. Louis in August 2014. The goal of this report is not to ascertain the guilt of the parties involved in this incident. It does however attempt to present an analysis of the editorial framing agendas of certain media groups which covered the incident.

Welcome to the latest collection from CRIMSOC. The development of CRIMSOC as a significant publisher of international criminological research continues with our fourth Report. As Editors of CRIMSOC/JSC and Co-Editors of this collection, we are particularly pleased with the contributions presented here. These chapters represent interesting and necessary explorations into the key issues of 'Gender, Victimology and Restorative Justice'. With articles based on high end research and innovative writing, this collection provides insights into the challenges facing women from anti-feminist activists in the "Women Against Feminism' grouping, in Chapter One, while the odious trafficking of women for prostitution is then examined in the collection's second study. The issue of rape as a subject for debate on internet forums is the subject of our third chapter, echoing the concerns outlined in the opening discussions. In this volume's remaining chapters, the issue of training for young people in prison is outlined in two articles, while the potential solutions which may be provided by Restorative Justice are explored in three separate studies of restorative policy and practice from across the globe. Without doubt, these are subjects of major importance in contemporary society. As such, we feel that this collection should be of considerable use to academics and practitioners in all areas of legal and criminological inquiry.

Drawing on almost 20 years of Liam Leonard's research in the field, The Sustainable Nation: Politics, Economy and Justice provides a detailed case study of a modern European state's tumultuous development through first decades of the Millennium. As the Republic of Ireland experienced an initial phase of accelerated growth, followed by a dramatic economic downturn, the nation's attempts to expand its infrastructure was met with resistance from communities concerned about local environments. The Sustainable Nation: Politics, Economy and Justice looks at some of the conflicts that emerged as part of the Irish people's attempts to achieve a sustainable form of development. Other issues such as the rise of a multicultural and globalized society as well as issues of social justice are also explored within this study. This book represents a culmination of Leonard's research on Ireland which began at the turn of the Millennium. The book provides an in depth and up to date study on Ireland's growth and the substantial changes experienced there during the last two decades.
