Strategic Communication: South African Perspectives Editors: R Benecke, T Phumo and S Verwey
Strategic Communication straddles the disciplines of Business Communication, Stakeholder Communication, Public Relations and Integrated Marketing Communications. Strategic Communication: South African Perspectives breaks down these silos and emphasise the importance of a holistic and strategic approach to communication. This textbook will off er a South African perspective on the emerging discipline and practice of strategic communication.
Increasing technological complexity and globalisation have resulted in fundamental societal and business changes that require scholars and practitioners to challenge their own theoretical assumptions, and come to grips with the implications of paradigm shifts in various fi elds including public relations and communication. This book will explore the nature of these paradigm shifts, and considers what implications tensions in the fi eld hold for public relations and communication scholarship in general, but also specifi cally for the South African fi eld of scholarship and practice.
This text is aimed at undergraduate students, enrolled in South African tertiary education institutions studying communication science, corporate communication, marketing communication, marketing and brand communication and public relations. The book is intended to provide a key text that can be used throughout a learner’s undergraduate studies in various theoretical and applied modules.

CRIMINOLOGY Contemporary Criminology in Practice in South Africa
Editor: FWJ Herbig Authors: H Fouche, B Häefele, A Hesselink, A Minnaar and M Schoeman
Selecting important crime issues, this title explores criminology in practice and draws links to the foundational theories of the discipline to encourage an applied understanding of contemporary South African criminology.
Case studies and practical examples showcase important local research throughout and bring current criminological concerns to life. Drawing from a broad selection of eight contemporary issues in African criminology this title provides valuable insight into locally relevant challenges and crises.
Each Chapter includes defi nitions of key concepts and discussion boxes which encourage critical consideration. The founding theories relevant to each crime issue are explored, with consideration of how they work in practice. Case studies build applied understanding throughout, and allow insight into the unique aspects of each crime issue.
This title supports third and Honours level students taking criminology courses and approaching a future career in the discipline, as well as psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists and criminologists in practice.
