Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to being released from federal prison in 2018, my younger brother Randy and I had a conversation about my life and how much time I had spent in jail or prison. Afterwards, he said that I should consider writing a book about my life. I had to agree with him and thought it was a great idea. So, while I still had tons of spare time on my hands. I started writing and over the next month or so I had written over 700 handwritten pages. It took a while after I was released to finish it but I did and Randy was kind enough to type it for me. I am just a country boy with a middle school education. Randy is a 20 year Army veteran and well versed in technology, so I leaned heavily on him to get through the publishing process. Finally, this book covers my stealing of a fruitcake tin from my aunt when I was 3 years old and ended with my spending over 40 years in prison and being released as an old man. This book covers major events during my journey through this life. I was raised by a God fearing father. Despite all his efforts, I began what would become a life of crime at the early age of 3 years old. I always wanted to be in control and get things the easy way and that would end up in my stealing them, selling drugs or breaking other laws. As a result I spent most of my life in jail or prison. Now, I am an old man, I finally learned my lesson and just want to live out my remaining years as a loving father and grandfather.

Book excerpt: Career Criminal, My Life in the Russian Mob | Until the Day I Died is a based on true events, tell-all memoir of a master lawbreaker and a world still heavily shrouded in mystery. A first generation immigrant, I was born into the mafiya I had no other way. Throughout my tenure as Bratan, I commanded a crew of dastardly villains that knew not virtue and for whom truth was always unclean They were deadly as they were brilliant. In a series of complex schemes and manipulations, most involving the financial markets, we were able to bilk investors out of hundreds of millions. We went all out, as if we had nothing to live. Like as if you held guns to our kids. Murder was as ordinary as eating a Big-Mac sandwich. Career Criminal is a stylish exposé that takes you deep into the inner working and heavily guarded hierarchical structure of the Russian mafiya. I'm not referring to what you've already looked at on the telley. I take you deep within the framework of modern-day Russian organized crime and reveal for the first time, many of its closely protected secrets. Career Criminal isn't just the story of my life | It's the story of my death, rebirth, and an illuminating look at redemption and the afterlife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we as Americans define our identities? How do our stories represent who we are-our successes, our failures, our past, our future? Stories of redemption are some of the most powerful ways to express American identity and all that it can entail, from pain and anguish to joy and fulfillment. Psychologist Dan P. McAdams examines how these narratives, in which the hero is delivered from suffering to an enhanced status or state, represent a new psychology of American identity, and in turn, how they translate to understanding our own lives. In this revised and expanded edition of The Redemptive Self, McAdams shows how redemptive stories promote psychological health and civic engagement among contemporary American adults. He reveals how different kinds of redemptive stories compete for favor in American society, as presented in a dramatic case study comparing the life stories constructed by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. McAdams provides new insight on race and religion in American narratives, offers a creative blend of psychological research and historical analysis, and explains how the redemptive self is a positive psychological resource for living a worthy American life. From the spiritual testimonials of the Puritans and the celebrated autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, to the harrowing stories of escaped slaves and the modern tales in Hollywood movies, we are surrounded by transformative stories that can inform how we make sense of our American identity. But is the redemptive life story always a good thing, and can anyone achieve it? While affirming the significance of redemptive life stories, McAdams also offers a cultural critique. Through no fault of their own, many Americans cannot achieve this revered story of deliverance. Instead, their lives are rife with contaminated plots, vicious cycles of disappointment, and endless pitfalls. Moreover, there may be a negative side to these beloved stories of redemption-they demonstrate a curiously American form of arrogance, self-righteousness, and naiveté that all bad things can be transformed. In this revised and expanded edition of the his award-winning book, McAdams encourages us to critically examine our own life stories-the good, the bad, the ups, the downs-in order to inform how we can benefit from them and shape a better future American identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the cost savings from preventing a typical burglary, robbery, assault, or even a criminal career? Who benefits from these savings? How often do the benefits from preventing crime or criminal behavior exceed the resources spent on preventing or controlling crime? Is it more cost-effective to invest in early childhood programs or juvenile boot camps to reduce criminal offending? These are some of the important questions that face policymakers in crime and justice today. Answering them is no easy task. Nevertheless, it is important to provide answers in order to ensure that the dollars devoted to crime reduction are spent as efficiently as possible. The principle aim of Costs and Benefits of Preventing Crime is to report on and assess the present state of knowledge on the monetary costs and benefits of crime prevention programs. Remarkably, this crucial topic has rarely been studied up to the present time. This book examines key methodological issues, reports on the most up-to-date research findings, discusses international policy perspectives, and presents an agenda for future research and policy development on the economic analysis of crime prevention. Throughout, it addresses the important question of how governments should be allocating scarce resources to make crime prevention policy and practice more effective and to produce the greatest economic benefits to society. The book brings together research and perspectives from across North America, Europe, and Australia.

Download or read book The Reasoning Criminal written by Marvin Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assumption that rewards and punishments influence our choices between different courses of action underlies economic, sociological, psychological, and legal thinking about human action. Hence, the notion of a reasoning criminal-one who employs the same sorts of cognitive strategies when contemplating offending as they and the rest of us use when making other decisions-might seem a small contribution to crime control. This conclusion would be mistaken. This volume develops an alternative approach, termed the "rational choice perspective," to explain criminal behaviour. Instead of emphasizing the differences between criminals and non-criminals, it stresses some of the similarities. In particular, while the contributors do not deny the existence of irrational and pathological components in crimes, they suggest that the rational aspects of offending should be explored. An international group of researchers in criminology, psychology, and economics provide a comprehensive review of original research on the criminal offender as a reasoning decision maker. While recognizing the crucial influence of situational factors, the rational choice perspective provides a framework within which to incorporate and locate existing theories about crime. In doing so it also provides both a new agenda for research and sheds a fresh light on deterrent and prevention policies.
