Stop Mugging Grandma: The 'Generation Wars' and Why Boomer Blaming Won't Solve Anything
by Jennie BristowA decisive intervention in the "war" between generations, asking who stands to gain from conflict between baby boomers and millennials Millennials have been incited to regard their parents’ generation as entitled and selfish, and to blame the baby boomers of the Sixties for the cultural and economic problems of today. But is it true that young people have been victimized by their elders? In this book, Jennie Bristow looks at generational labels and the groups of people they apply to. Bristow argues that the prominence and popularity of terms like "baby boomer," "millennial," and "snowflake" in mainstream media operates as a smoke screen—directing attention away from important issues such as housing, education, pensions, and employment. Bristow systematically disputes the myths that surround the "generational war," exposing it to be nothing more than a tool by which the political and social elite can avoid public scrutiny. With her lively and engaging style, Bristow highlights the major issues and concerns surrounding the sociological blame game.

Stop and Search
by Michael Shiner Rebekah DelsolStop and search is often billed as a vital tool in the fight against crime, yet its use remains controversial. Anger and resentment over the misuse of this tactic were widely implicated among the causes of serious public disorder in 1981 and again in 2011, fuelling an ongoing cycle of crisis and reform that has engulfed British policing. This edited collection provides a detailed assessment of stop and search by leading experts in the field. It considers the legal basis of stop and search,the purpose and function of these powers, their effectiveness in tackling crime and their impact on trust and confidence in the police. Stop and Search: The Anatomy of a Police Power directly addresses some of the most controversial aspects of stop and search, including its disproportionate use on people from black and minority ethnic groups, its role in counter-terrorism policing and ongoing attempts at regulation and reform. While the main focus is on England and Wales, the collection shows that the challenges posed by stop and search are fundamental to the policing of diverse, democratic societies across the globe. Includes a foreword by Robert Reiner, Emeritus Professor of Criminology, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.

Stop the Meeting Madness
by Leslie A. Perlow Eunice Eun Constance N. Hadley"The Challenge Meetings are supposed to improve creativity and productivity—but they do the opposite when they’re excessive, badly scheduled, poorly run, or all three. These problems take a toll on the whole organization, and they require systemic fixes. The Solution Groups must first figure out what kind of time their meetings tend to waste—group, individual, or both. They can then follow a five-step process for change: (1) collect impressions from each member; (2) interpret those together; (3) choose a group goal for improving meetings that feels personally relevant and motivating; (4) measure progress; and (5) regularly check in to make sure people don’t revert to old patterns."
