Chapter 10: Public encounters and the role of citizens' impression management
Public encounters can be viewed as the communicative 'in-between' in which citizens and street-level bureaucrats define the situation in an orientation towards each other (Bartels 2013).

Chapter 4 Delivering Post-Mortem Harm: Cutting the Corpse Staging Post-Execu…
Those convicted of homicide were hanged on the public gallows before being dissected under the Murder Act in Georgian England. Yet, from 1752, whether criminals actually died on the hanging tree or in the dissection room remained a medical mystery in early modern society.
