Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a description of a process for ending violent crime, cheaply and permanently. Medicine Story, or Manitonquat, is an elder of the Wampanoag Nation. These methods have been tested for over three decades, in prison programs in multiple states in the U.S., and also in parts of Europe. The recidivism rate is very low with this program, less than 1/8 of any comparable control group. Prison costs roughly Ivy League tuition rates, in the New England states Manitonquat works in. This program is much cheaper, and the graduates fit into society far better.

Book Synopsis Ending Violent Crime Cheaply and Permanently by : Medicine Story
Download or read book Ending Violent Crime Cheaply and Permanently written by Medicine Story and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book has spent four decades in community formation and healing work. He is an elder, storyteller, and keeper of the lore for the Assonet Band of the Wampanoag nation. He is a veteran of the Korean War. He has run prison rehab programs in three states, as well. The usual recidivism rate for persons released from incarceration is around 80%, after five years. The recidivism rate out of his rehab programs, run by volunteers, was about 15%. He has said he could get that down to zero, with enough support. I believe it. I have met graduates of his programs, and I'd have no problem with them being in my neighborhood. There are really two choices in life- love, or fear, expressed as kindness, or violence. Each is a gift that keeps on giving. People experience them, and pass them on. The basic method is the Native American "Medicine", or healing, circle, in which participants offer respectful attention and support to each other. The author gives presentations in several European countries, each year, on subjects related to community healing. Speaking as an editor, I was amazed to see all the author does. We were able to arrange a Spanish translation of the work. This book was at one time available on a U.S. Department of Justice website, though we've not seen it there for a few years now. In Connecticut, the social worker Ralph Cheyney was famous for moving his family into a halfway house, some years ago, to show that persons formerly incarcerated are not dangerous. Medicine Story, aka Manitonquat, goes even further, helping persons who have grown up with severe, repeated trauma, no-one they could trust, growing up, become contributing members of society- as a volunteer. His program is far cheaper to run, than any other, and wastes far less human capital. I have met graduates of his programs, and I'd be delighted to have them in my neighborhood. Manitonquat says he could reach the heart of the worst criminal, given the time, and resources. I believe it. He is truly gifted. We are honored to be able to present this to the public.
Book Synopsis The End of Policing by : Alex S. Vitale
Download or read book The End of Policing written by Alex S. Vitale and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive uprising following the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020--by some estimates the largest protests in US history--thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. It also made The End of Policing a bestseller and Alex Vitale, its author, a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over police and racial justice. As the writer Rachel Kushner put it in an article called "Things I Can't Live Without", this book explains that "unfortunately, no increased diversity on police forces, nor body cameras, nor better training, has made any seeming difference" in reducing police killings and abuse. "We need to restructure our society and put resources into communities themselves, an argument Alex Vitale makes very persuasively." The problem, Vitale demonstrates, is policing itself-the dramatic expansion of the police role over the last forty years. Drawing on first-hand research from across the globe, The End of Policing describes how the implementation of alternatives to policing, like drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead of the policing of drugs, has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.

Book Synopsis Processing Vehicles Used in Violent Crimes for Forensic Evidence by : Christopher D. Duncan
Download or read book Processing Vehicles Used in Violent Crimes for Forensic Evidence written by Christopher D. Duncan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are numerous books on crime scene investigation and the processing of crime scenes, few focus on the processing of vehicles. Whether the crime took place in the car or the car was used to transport the suspect or victim—and, as such, is a secondary scene—investigating vehicles presents several unique challenges. Processing Vehicles Used in Violent Crimes for Forensic Evidence fills this void providing the technical instruction sorely needed in this area of crime scene investigation. The book is geared not only to investigators who process vehicles involved in general crimes but also with a specific focus on violent crimes. Coverage includes details as to how investigators should document the vehicle in a logical and methodical manner that is easily understood and replicated for various scenes. By identifying the unique challenges caused by working in the tight quarters of a vehicle—especially in photographing the vehicle, the evidence within it, and how to best find, collect, document, and preserve the evidence—the author provides a unique reference for investigators. Special attention is paid to documenting shooting incidents, the proper detailing and documentation of bullet trajectories, bloodstain documentation, and processing vehicles for other biological, impression, and physical evidence. Key Features Presents crime scene collection and preservation techniques and methodology specific to vehicle-related considerations Outlines the unique challenges, and step-by-step procedural requirements, necessary to conduct a vehicle or vehicle-related scene investigation Addresses types of various evidence for vehicles—including fingerprint, blood, DNA, bullet and casing, and fire debris—which are common primary or secondary crime scenes While the book is geared toward crime scene investigators and forensic technicians who process vehicles used in crimes, it will be an invaluable resource for criminal justice and forensic science students, attorneys, death investigators, fire investigators, accident scene investigators, and scene reconstructionists.
Book Synopsis Graham Greene's Thrillers and the 1930s by : Brian Diemert
Download or read book Graham Greene's Thrillers and the 1930s written by Brian Diemert and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-08-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diemert traces Greene's adaptation of nineteenth-century romance thrillers and classical detective stories into modern political thrillers as a means of presenting serious concerns in an engaging fashion. He argues that Greene's popular thrillers were in part a reaction to the high modernism of writers such as James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, whose esoteric experiments with language were disengaged from immediate social concerns and inaccessible to a large segment of the reading public. Graham Greene's Thrillers and the 1930s investigates some of Greene's best-known works, such as A Gun for Sale, Brighton Rock, and The Ministry of Fear, and shows how they reflect the evolution of Greene's sense of the importance of popular culture in the 1930s.

Book Synopsis The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by : Sam Harris
Download or read book The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason written by Sam Harris and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005-09-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The End of Faith articulates the dangers and absurdities of organized religion so fiercely and so fearlessly that I felt relieved as I read it, vindicated....Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say."—Natalie Angier, New York Times In The End of Faith, Sam Harris delivers a startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world. He offers a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs—even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism to deliver a call for a truly modern foundation for ethics and spirituality that is both secular and humanistic. Winner of the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction.
Book Synopsis Violence and Emotions in Early Modern Europe by : Susan Broomhall
Download or read book Violence and Emotions in Early Modern Europe written by Susan Broomhall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence and Emotions in Early Modern Europe examines the purposes for which specific forms of violence and particular emotional states functioned, how they operated in relation to each other, or indeed how one provoked, sustained or diminished the other. These twelve original essays demonstrate the complexities of violence and emotions and the myriad possibilities of their inter-relationships. They emphasize the great efforts that were made by early modern societies to control modes of violence and emotional regimes to achieve positive as well as negative effects, such as creating order, healing, and bringing individuals and communities together around productive identities. Authors consider legal documents, news reports, memoirs, letters, confraternity statutes, and medical consultations to investigate the bodily and textual practices in which violent and emotional acts were created, supported and disseminated to investigate the power, aims, effect and outcomes of relationships between violence and emotions. The chapters look at a range of topics and countries including Renaissance Italy and sixteenth-century Germany, France in the grip of the religious wars, and England’s Civil Wars as well as a wide range of topics including murder, punishment, community healing, insults, threats, prophecy and medical and devotional practices. This collection will be essential reading for students and scholars of the history of emotions or violence.
Download or read book The Detainee written by Peter Liney and published by Jo Fletcher Books. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Liney honed his strong narrative skills and attention to detail during his long career as a writer of German, Australian, British, and South African television and radio programs. In his debut novel, The Detainee, Liney has created a dystopian world in which the state has gone bust and can no longer support its weakest members. The Island is a place of hopelessness. The Island is death. And it is to this place that all the elderly and infirm are shipped, the scapegoats for the collapse of society. There's no escape, not from the punishment satellites that deliver instant judgment for any crime--including escape attempts--and not from the demons that come on foggy nights, when the satellites are all but blind. But when one of the Island's inhabitants, the aging "Big Guy" Clancy, finds a network of tunnels beneath the waste, there is suddenly hope--for love, for escape, and for the chance to fight back.
Book Synopsis Rules, Politics, and the International Criminal Court by : Yvonne Dutton
Download or read book Rules, Politics, and the International Criminal Court written by Yvonne Dutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new work, Dutton examines the ICC and whether and how its enforcement mechanism influences state membership and the court’s ability to realize treaty goals, examining questions such as: Why did states decide to create the ICC and design the institution with this uniquely strong enforcement mechanism? Will the ICC’s enforcement mechanism be sufficient to hold states accountable to their commitment so that the ICC can realize its goal of ending impunity for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes? Will states view the ICC’s enforcement mechanism as a credible threat and refuse to join unless they already have good domestic human rights practices and institutions that are independent and capable of prosecuting human rights abuses? If states that most need to improve their domestic legal practices as relates to protecting against human rights abuses do not join the court, is there any hope that the threat of punishment by the ICC can play a role in bettering state’s human rights practices and deterring individuals from committing mass atrocities? This work provides a significant contribution to the field, and will be of great interest to students and scholars of international law, international relations, international organizations and human rights.
