Book excerpt: Reclaiming an Evangelical History of Activism In recent years, there has been renewed interest by evangelicals in the topic of biblical social justice. Younger evangelicals and millennials, in particular, have shown increased concern for social issues. But this is not a recent development. Following World War II, a new movement of American evangelicals emerged who gradually increased their efforts on behalf of justice. This work explains the important historical context for evangelical reengagement with social justice issues. The authors provide an overview of post-World War II evangelical social justice and compassion ministries, introducing key figures and seminal organizations that propelled the rediscovery of biblical justice. They explore historical and theological lessons learned and offer a way forward for contemporary Christians.
Book Synopsis Returning To the Teachings by : Rupert Ross
Download or read book Returning To the Teachings written by Rupert Ross and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his bestselling book Dancing with a Ghost, Rupert Ross began his exploration of Aboriginal approaches to justice and the visions of life that shape them. Returning to the Teachings takes this exploration further still. During a three-year secondment with Justice Canada, Ross travelled from the Yukon to Cape Breton Island, examining—and experiencing—the widespread Aboriginal preference for “peacemaker justice.” In this remarkable book, he invites us to accompany him as he moves past the pain and suffering that grip so many communities and into the exceptional promise of individual, family and community healing that traditional teachings are now restoring to Aboriginal Canada. He shares his confusion, frustrations and delights as Elders and other teachers guide him, in their unique and often puzzling ways, into ancient visions of Creation and our role with it. Returning to the Teachings is about Aboriginal justice and much more, speaking not only to our minds, but also to our hearts and spirits. Above all, it stands as a search for the values and visions that give life its significance and that any justice system, Aboriginal or otherwise, must serve and respect.

Download or read book Doing Justice written by Preet Bharara and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *A New York Times Bestseller* An important overview of the way our justice system works, and why the rule of law is essential to our survival as a society—from the one-time federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, and host of the Doing Justice podcast. Preet Bharara has spent much of his life examining our legal system, pushing to make it better, and prosecuting those looking to subvert it. Bharara believes in our system and knows it must be protected, but to do so, he argues, we must also acknowledge and allow for flaws both in our justice system and in human nature. Bharara uses the many illustrative anecdotes and case histories from his storied, formidable career—the successes as well as the failures—to shed light on the realities of the legal system and the consequences of taking action. Inspiring and inspiringly written, Doing Justice gives us hope that rational and objective fact-based thinking, combined with compassion, can help us achieve truth and justice in our daily lives. Sometimes poignant and sometimes controversial, Bharara's expose is a thought-provoking, entertaining book about the need to find the humanity in our legal system as well as in our society.

Book Synopsis A Return to Justice by : Ashley Nellis
Download or read book A Return to Justice written by Ashley Nellis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juveniles who commit crimes often find themselves in court systems that do not account for their young age, but it wasn’t always this way. The original aim of a separate juvenile justice system was to treat young offenders as the children they were, considering their unique child status and amenability for reform. Now, after years punishing young offenders as if they were adults, slowly the justice system is making changes that would allow the original vision for juvenile justice to finally materialize. In its original design, the founders focused on treating youth offenders separately from adults and with a different approach. The hallmarks of this approach appreciated the fact that youth cannot fully understand the consequences of their actions and are therefore worthy of reduced culpability. The original design for youth justice prioritized brief and confidential contact with the juvenile justice system, so as to avoid the stigma that would otherwise mar a youth’s chances for success upon release. Rehabilitation was seen as the priority, and efforts to redirect wayward youth were to be implemented when possible and appropriate. The original tenets of the juvenile justice system were slowly dismantled and replaced with a system more like the adult criminal justice system, one which takes no account of age. In recent years, the tide has turned again. The number of incarcerated youth has been cut in half nationally. In addition, juvenile justice practices are increasingly guided by scholarship in adolescent development that confirms important differences between youth and adults. And, states and localities are choosing to invest in evidence based approaches to juvenile crime prevention and intervention rather than in facilities to lock up errant youth. This book assesses the strategies and policies that have produced these important shifts in direction. Important contributing factors include the declining incidence of youth-committed crime, advances in adolescent brain science, nationwide budgetary concerns, focused advocacy with policymakers and practitioners, and successful public education campaigns that address extreme sanctions for youth such as solitary confinement and life sentences without the possibility of parole. Yet more needs to be done. The U.S. Supreme Court has recently voiced its unfaltering conclusion that children are different from adults in a series of landmark cases. The question now is how to take advantage of the opportunity for juvenile justice reform of the kind that would reorient the juvenile justice system to its original intent both in policy and practice, and would return to a system that treats children as children. Using case examples throughout, Nellis offers a compelling history and shows how we might continue on the road to reform.
Book Synopsis Justice Returns by : William Bernhardt

Book excerpt: Ben Kincaid's teenage friend, Oscar Kirby, appears in his office a changed man. His name is now Omar al-Jabbar, he has converted to the Islamic faith, and his activities on behalf of an Arab-American rights organization has brought him to the attention of the CIA. For twenty-one days he was subjected to waterboarding, starvation, sleep deprivation, and a host of other brutal "enhanced interrogation techniques"--without being charged with a crime. He wants to sue the government, but when his interrogator, Khalid Nazir, is murdered, al-Jabbar is at the top of the suspect list. The fact that he was found at the scene holding a gun seems like a sure indication of guilt. al-Jabbar claims he didn't shoot Nazir-even though he wanted to. A combination of guilt, the sudden appearance of his long-lost sister, and the knowledge that no one else will take the case convinces Ben to appear on al-Jabbar's behalf.A dramatic trial unfolds in the courtroom-loaded with pitfalls, surprises, and a breathtaking betrayal. Something else, something very dangerous lurks on the perimeter of this case, and Ben must pull every trick he knows to uncover the truth. The trial doesn't go Ben's way, and the death penalty is an all-too-real possibility. Aided by his wife and partner, Christina, he must fight the brutal machinery of both law enforcement and the intelligence community, trying to find answers hidden in a murderous maze of lies and secret motives.

Book Synopsis Restoring Restorative Justice by : Cory Contini
Download or read book Restoring Restorative Justice written by Cory Contini and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: B, Ottawa University, course: Penal Abolitionism, language: English, abstract: Governed by a retributive paradigm, the contemporary criminal justice system was designed in the image of a colonial institution from the past. Archaic, arbitrary, and racist among other things, this colonial legacy within politics and crime control has allowed governments to dictate the flow and actions of minority populations behind the veil of the system. Many scholars have identified this and are pushing for transformation and reform. Victims’ rights champion Robert Elias (1993) states that the “movement can develop a more independent path that is freer from government dominance and control” (p. 65). Ultimately, the state is rarely a first-party victim and should therefore be relegated to the background. The true parties affected in conflict deserve the control and authority to resolve the problem how they see fit. A preferred emerging model is the restorative justice process. Restorative justice is part of a larger social movement as it works in collaboration with Alternative Dispute Resolution models and proponents of conflict prevention/resolutions. This restoration system is based on cooperative and constructive inputs from all parties involved in the conflict. This includes offender, victims, family members, spouses, members of the community and any other stakeholders. The community has the responsibility of overseeing specific conflict resolutions and ensuring all parties are served proper justice. There are many benefits with this type of system such as bringing back the conflict to where it occurred in the first place and solving it there with the key stakeholders as primary participants. This returns justice to where it belongs: in the community with the people affected in the matter. Furthermore, human beings are so diverse and every problem complex in its own ways that no single apparatus or mechanism can solve all problems equally. This is why the more local and responsive restorative justice model is being pushed by academics. It is more adaptive than the retributive system and allows for more compassion and healing.
