Trial by Video
Investigates the significance of video evidence in criminal trials of police officers charged for on-duty shooting incidentsLawyers describe video evidence as a "game changer" for achieving criminal accountability in police-involved shootings. Despite a proliferation of videos of police-involved violence that attract considerable public attention and condemnation, trials and convictions remain rare. Once promised as a mechanism for delivering police oversight and accountability, video has yet to resolve complaints and achieve consensus about the lawfulness of use-of-force incidents, especially lethal force disproportionately applied to Black and Indigenous people.Trial by Video examines eight criminal cases between 2015 and 2020 of police officers charged for on-duty shootings in the United States and Canada, to examine what video brings, and fails to bring, to criminal trials. Video is widely recognized as critical evidence but is highly contested throughout the trials. Whatever the virtues of video, these cases often turn on adversarial arguments about the motive of the accused officer and the "reasonableness" of force.Watson, Nave, and Lynch interviewed lawyers who worked on these cases, and reviewed court documents, news stories, official reports, and leading case law. While video evidence is thought to "speak for itself," the book shows how video evidence is mobilized through litigation to shape courtroom arguments. In the courtroom, video is played, replayed, technically reconstructed, and subjected to expert commentary, but it is also used as an interrogative tool to contest or corroborate the statements of witnesses, including the accused officer. Ultimately, Trial by Video shows how lawyers, experts, and the accused officers themselves can reappropriate video evidence in order to avoid accountability.

Genetics and Analysis of Quantitative Traits
Almost every trait in nature shows variation, both within populations and between populations and species. The field of quantitative genetics is the very broad umbrella that attempts to separate environmental from genetic sources of variation. As a result, it has powerful applications in animal and plant breeding, evolution, ecology, medicine, anthropology, behaviour, population genetics, conservation biology, genomics, and statistics.This second edition of Genetics and Analysis of Quantitative Traits is a fully rewritten and greatly expanded revision of the first edition, published in 1998, which provided the first, modern, unified treatment of quantitative genetics. In the past two decades, there have been massive advancements in the field coupled with explosive growth in new quantitative methods; those developments are covered in this new edition.The book weaves important biological applications with a full development of the theory and appropriate statistical tools. There are extensive discussions of important linear-algebra tools, linear and mixed models, likelihood and Bayesian estimation, as well as false discovery rates, multiple comparisons, and meta-analysis. More than 100 worked examples (ranging from microbes to humans) illustrate the key concepts using real-world applications.This extensive reference will be suitable for graduate-level students and professional researchers (both empiricists and theoreticians) in the fields of evolutionary biology, genetics, and genomics. It will also be of particular relevance and use to applied evolutionary biologists working in breed improvement for agriculture, human geneticists, and statisticians.

Instructed and Instructive Actions
The contributors to this volume take up the theme of instructed and instructive actions. Studies of instructions and the actions of following them provide empirical content to the classical theoretical issue of how rules, norms, and other normative guidelines are conveyed, understood, and used for producing social actions and structures.

The Early Modern Town in Scotland
Originally published in 1987, this volume filled a notable gap in Scottish urban history and considers the place of Scottish towns in urban life during the 16th and 17th Centuries. The first part of the book is based on studies of individual burghs (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Perth) drawing extensively on archival material. The second part includes a discussion of the pressure put upon the burghs by the town between 1500 and 1650, a process which contributed to the destruction of the medieval burgh and examines the burgh during the Scottish Revolution. The impact of war and plague on Scottish towns in the 1640s is also analysed and much emphasis is given to the relationship between town and country.

Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis and Constructive Analysis
This book revisits the arguments by which Harvey Sacks and Harold Garfinkel opposed the widespread attempt in the social sciences to construct disciplinary theories and methods in place of common-sense knowledge of human action, and proposed instead an alternative that would investigate the organised methods of natural language use and common-sense reasoning that constitute social orders - arguments that led to the establishment and proliferation of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. As the very "constructive analysis" that they opposed has begun to be incorporated into influential lines of research in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, the authors return to the founding insights of the field and reiterate the importance of Garfinkel and Sacks' original and controversial proposals for an "alternate" sociology of practical action and practical reasoning. Showing how constructive analysis has become entrenched in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis and arguing for a need to "re-boot" these approaches, this volume constitutes a call for a renewal of the radical alternative proposed by Garfinkel and Sacks.

Harold Garfinkel
This volume includes an unpublished manuscript and selected portions of five seminars by Harold Garfinkel - the founder of ethnomethodology - on the topic of practices in the natural sciences and mathematics. The volume provides a coherent and sustained account of his program for the study of ordinary and specialized social actions. Presenting broader theoretical and methodological initiatives, as well as discussions and summaries of exemplary studies of social phenomena within and beyond the sciences, this work dates to the period in the 1980s during which the field of Science and Technology Studies was taking shape, with ethnomethodological studies of scientific practice forming a major part of its development at the time. Aside from their historical importance, the manuscript and seminars present a distinctive perspective on the natural and social sciences that remains highly original and pertinent to research on science, social science, and everyday life today. Offering critical insights and proposals relating to developments in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis, this volume will appeal to scholars of Sociology and Science and Technology Studies with interests in the work of Garfinkel.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.
