Book Synopsis Punishment Without Crime by : Alexandra Natapoff
Download or read book Punishment Without Crime written by Alexandra Natapoff and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory account of the misdemeanor machine that unjustly brands millions of Americans as criminals. Punishment Without Crime offers an urgent new interpretation of inequality and injustice in America by examining the paradigmatic American offense: the lowly misdemeanor. Based on extensive original research, legal scholar Alexandra Natapoff reveals the inner workings of a massive petty offense system that produces over 13 million cases each year. People arrested for minor crimes are swept through courts where defendants often lack lawyers, judges process cases in mere minutes, and nearly everyone pleads guilty. This misdemeanor machine starts punishing people long before they are convicted; it punishes the innocent; and it punishes conduct that never should have been a crime. As a result, vast numbers of Americans -- most of them poor and people of color -- are stigmatized as criminals, impoverished through fines and fees, and stripped of drivers' licenses, jobs, and housing. For too long, misdemeanors have been ignored. But they are crucial to understanding our punitive criminal system and our widening economic and racial divides. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2018
Book Synopsis Crime Don't Pay - Book I by : Remopolis Tiant Pleasant
Download or read book Crime Don't Pay - Book I written by Remopolis Tiant Pleasant and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-11-09 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting for this book is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its characters are typical of many African Americans who reside in Moss Point, Pascagoula and surrounding areas of Mississippi. Many authors have written about the beautiful coastal towns of Mississippi but none have captured the underworld of Black life with its roots so deeply entrenched in drugs, gambling and prostitution. Bo-Gator, the "King of Mean," will take you to the very bowels of the southern gangster crime world. For anyone with the steel nerves to challenge him, he is always ready to deliver swift, unrelenting vengeance. He is ruthless, self-centered and more cold-blooded than his trained killer pit bulls. The small town drug dealers hate and fear him. Tammy, his woman – despite his depraved sexual antics – loves him more than she loves herself, and will kill any man trying to harm him, and any woman trying to have him. Warning! Do not read this book if you currently have difficulty sleeping. You are hereby warned that once you become entangled in Bo-Gator's web, you may never have a peaceful night's sleep again...so be very afraid!

Book Synopsis Not a Crime to Be Poor by : Peter Edelman
Download or read book Not a Crime to Be Poor written by Peter Edelman and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded "Special Recognition" by the 2018 Robert F. Kennedy Book & Journalism Awards Finalist for the American Bar Association's 2018 Silver Gavel Book Award Named one of the "10 books to read after you've read Evicted" by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Essential reading for anyone trying to understand the demands of social justice in America."—Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy Winner of a special Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, the book that Evicted author Matthew Desmond calls "a powerful investigation into the ways the United States has addressed poverty . . . lucid and troubling" In one of the richest countries on Earth it has effectively become a crime to be poor. For example, in Ferguson, Missouri, the U.S. Department of Justice didn't just expose racially biased policing; it also exposed exorbitant fines and fees for minor crimes that mainly hit the city's poor, African American population, resulting in jail by the thousands. As Peter Edelman explains in Not a Crime to Be Poor, in fact Ferguson is everywhere: the debtors' prisons of the twenty-first century. The anti-tax revolution that began with the Reagan era led state and local governments, starved for revenues, to squeeze ordinary people, collect fines and fees to the tune of 10 million people who now owe $50 billion. Nor is the criminalization of poverty confined to money. Schoolchildren are sent to court for playground skirmishes that previously sent them to the principal's office. Women are evicted from their homes for calling the police too often to ask for protection from domestic violence. The homeless are arrested for sleeping in the park or urinating in public. A former aide to Robert F. Kennedy and senior official in the Clinton administration, Peter Edelman has devoted his life to understanding the causes of poverty. As Harvard Law professor Randall Kennedy has said, "No one has been more committed to struggles against impoverishment and its cruel consequences than Peter Edelman." And former New York Times columnist Bob Herbert writes, "If there is one essential book on the great tragedy of poverty and inequality in America, this is it."

Book excerpt: Is it true that the apple never falls far from the tree? Throughout history, you see examples where criminality seems to run in the family. From the Ptolemaic dynasty that terrorized Greek Egypt to the modern mafia, familial ties often dictate your relationship to violence, cruelty and the law. Evil Families examines just this, using case studies from across history. These include the Qing Dynasty of Ancient China, the cannibalistic Beane family in 15th century Scotland, the Stafflebacks of Kansas and the Messina brothers of London's West End. This book is about murder, madness, lust and ruthless ambition, as well as those devastating cases where family members gang up and cause harm other relatives.

Download or read book Crime Pay$ written by Mark Small and published by . This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Crime Pays! is an iconic novel of these times!" "Author Mark Small has penned a tale eerily relevant to the economic turmoil that burdens Americans today as a result of the greed and financial misdealings of big business and Wall Street. His initially tangled storylines effortlessly unravel to reveal an emphatic reminder that nothing is free in life - and to think otherwise is simply absurd." Told through the sardonic voice of a small-town boy coming of age in the 1960s, this satirical novel disconcertingly parallels the financial and ethical toxicities of modern society. Based on actual events, the author's "buyer beware" tale immortalizes one of the largest get-rich-quick schemes of its time where thousands of naïve residents of a colorful Midwestern town were bilked out of millions. A story not for the faint of heart, author Mark Small vividly unravels a tangled web of deceit, greed, fraud and murder. The story will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions from hope and horror to empathy and vindication.
Book Synopsis Why Crime Does Not Pay by : Sophie Lyons
Download or read book Why Crime Does Not Pay written by Sophie Lyons and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publishers believe that a picture of life sketched by a master hand- somebody who stands in the world of crime as Edison does in his field or as Morgan and Rockefeller do in theirs-could not fail to be impressive and valuable and prove the oft repeated statement that crime does not pay.Such a person is Sophie Lyons, the most remarkable and the greatest criminal of modern times. This extraordinary woman is herself a striking evidence that crime does not pay and that the same energy and brains exerted in honest endeavor win enduring wealth and respectability. She has abandoned her earlier career and has lately accumulated a fortune of half a million dollars, honestly acquired by her own unaided business ability.Sophie Lyons was a "thief from the cradle," as one Chief of Police said; at the early age of six years she had already been trained by her stepmother to be a pickpocket and a shoplifter. A beautiful child with engaging manners, she was sent out every day into the stores and among the crowds of shoppers, and was soundly whipped if she came out of a shop with less than three pocketbooks. "I did not know it was wrong to steal; nobody ever taught me that," Sophie Lyons writes. "What I was told was wrong and what I was punished for was when I came home with only one pocketbook instead of many."As the child grew into womanhood she was conspicuously beautiful, and soon became known as "Pretty Sophie." Then romance entered her life and she married Ned Lyons, the famous bank burglar. Her husband was a member of the great gang of expert safe-blowers who were the terror of the police and the big banks of some years ago.
