The issue of analyzing for process (`Strauss, Corbin`_, chap. 11) brings
another view on whole story of the Boston miracle. What kind of process
are we actually observing? What is routine, what is a reaction to
unexpected and what is emerging from the process?

How does the changing image (from scary & dangerous city to community &
cooperation with satisfaction & glorification) influences the process?

One thing is obvious—when I have turned to newspapers and image
analysis, I have also shifted from pure criminology towards something
which has in itself a lot of political science. Are there any lessons
about image-driven behavior already developed in the political science
which can be brought to criminology and to the theory of reintegrative
shaming & co.?
