Book excerpt: Die Videoüberwachung des öffentlichen Raums zur präventiven Bekämpfung von Kriminalität erfreut sich sowohl in Deutschland als auch weltweit großer Popularität. Weite Bereiche des öffentlichen Lebens werden heute durch Kameras in den Blick genommen. Die zunehmende Erfassung des Einzelnen hat erhebliche Belastungen für das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung zur Folge. Diese Arbeit widmet sich den verfassungsrechtlichen Implikationen der Videoüberwachung und würdigt die Rechtsgrundlagen dieses polizeilichen Instruments vor dem Hintergrund der Erkenntnisse aus der kriminologischen Forschung zur kriminalpräventiven Wirksamkeit der Maßnahme.

Book excerpt: Anthropologists have written a great deal about the coastal adaptations and seafaring traditions of Pacific Islanders, but have had much less to say about the significance of rivers for Pacific island culture, livelihood and identity. The authors of this collection seek to fill that gap in the ethnographic record by drawing attention to the deep historical attachments of island communities to rivers, and the ways in which those attachments are changing in response to various forms of economic development and social change. In addition to making a unique contribution to Pacific island ethnography, the authors of this volume speak to a global set of issues of immense importance to a world in which water scarcity, conflict, pollution and the degradation of riparian environments afflict growing numbers of people. Several authors take a political ecology approach to their topic, but the emphasis here is less on hydro-politics than on the cultural meaning of rivers to the communities we describe. How has the cultural significance of rivers shifted as a result of colonisation, development and nation-building? How do people whose identities are fundamentally rooted in their relationship to a particular river renegotiate that relationship when the river is dammed to generate hydro-power or polluted by mining activities? How do blockages in the flow of rivers and underground springs interrupt the intergenerational transmission of local ecological knowledge and hence the ability of local communities to construct collective identities rooted in a sense of place?
