Download or read book Thought Crime written by Max M. Ward and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thought Crime Max M. Ward explores the Japanese state's efforts to suppress political radicalism in the 1920s and 1930s. Ward traces the evolution of an antiradical law called the Peace Preservation Law, from its initial application to suppress communism and anticolonial nationalism—what authorities deemed thought crime—to its expansion into an elaborate system to reform and ideologically convert thousands of thought criminals throughout the Japanese Empire. To enforce the law, the government enlisted a number of nonstate actors, who included monks, family members, and community leaders. Throughout, Ward illuminates the complex processes through which the law articulated imperial ideology and how this ideology was transformed and disseminated through the law's application over its twenty-year history. In so doing, he shows how the Peace Preservation Law provides a window into understanding how modern states develop ideological apparatuses to subject their respective populations.

Download or read book True Crime written by Mark Seltzer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True crime is crime fact that looks like crime fiction. It is one of the most popular genres of our pathological public sphere, and an integral part of our contemporary wound culture-a culture, or at least cult, of commiseration. If we cannot gather in the face of anything other than crime, violence, terror, trauma, and the wound, we can at least commiserate. That is, as novelist Chuck Palahniuk writes, we can at least "all [be] miserable together." The "murder leisure industry," its media, and its public: these modern styles of violence and intimacy, sociality and belief, are the subjects of True Crime: Observations on Violence and Modernity. True Crime draws on and makes available to American readers—and tests out—work on systems theory and media theory (for instance, the transformative work of Niklas Luhmann on social systems and of Friedrich Kittler on the media apriori—work yet to make its impact on the American scene). True Crime is at once a study of a minor genre that is a scale model of modern society and a critical introduction to these forms of social and media history and theory. With examples, factual and fictional, of the scene of the crime ranging from Poe to CSI, from the true crime writing of the popular Japanese author Haruki Murakami to versions of "the violence-media complex" in the work of the American novelist Patricia Highsmith and the Argentinian author Juan José Saer, True Crime is a penetrating look at modern violence and the modern media and the ties that bind them in contemporary life.

Download or read book Naked at the Mic / written by L.A. Steel and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naked at the Mic / The Survival of a Liberal in a Time of Peril Is a work of exhaustive research and remembrance as a historic account of the politics and social upheaval during the Conservative Revolution, that took place during the first decade of the 21st Century, as I witnessed and reported it on my television and radio programs during the years of 2000 to 2009. This book is also a personal account and compliment to the many people who fought so valiantly to broadcast truth and liberal commentary, while the entire broadcast media was dominated and censored by the Conservative right wing, the G.W Bush administration and the cabal of Muslim hating warmongers, famously known as the NeoCons. Naked at the Mic also commemorates the many people who stood up against the G.W Bush administration,and their nightmare of genocide and slaughter in the Middle East, and the cruel, corrupt and oppressive government they imposed on the American people during their reign of terror and torture from 2000 to 2008. I also speak honestly about the 2008 presidential candidates and the election of Barack Obama, and why I voted for him, and my great disappointment, after his horrific betrayal of all who elected him. The research for Naked at the Mic entailed over 5000 news articles that I have personally archived and preserved on paper, to verify every quote and reference I make, and over 100 books and interviews of authors, activists and politicians on 400 archived radio shows and ten televised documentaries I had produced up to 2009, when I completed writing this book. It is an honest look back through time at people and events, that have been at the forefront of national and world changing events. Naked at the Mic is a historical record of one of the most volatile decades in American and world history. It discusses many of the most important national and international issues from 2000 2009, the corrupt 2000 presidential election, 911, the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, Katrina, and exposes the massive corporate, financial and political corruption and mass media coverups up to the end of 2009. I honestly discuss and expose left and right wing politics, and give a unique front line perspective of the massive sea change of American Society, that caused G.W Bush's 75 percent approval rating in 2001, to his final approval rating of 24% in 2008. Naked at the Mic is honest,fast moving,highly informative and well researched, and is an accurate, historical account of one of the most politically conservative, and most destructive periods in American history, that has led to the current economic, military and moral demise of America. Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated in his famous essay The Oversoul Oh, Believe that every word that was meant for thine ear to hear will come to thee . I believe a lot of people are meant to hear what this book has to say. L.A.Steel
Book Synopsis The Law and Ethics of Freedom of Thought, Volume 1 by : Marc Jonathan Blitz
Download or read book The Law and Ethics of Freedom of Thought, Volume 1 written by Marc Jonathan Blitz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom of thought is one of the great and venerable notions of Western thought, often celebrated in philosophical texts – and described as a crucial right in American, European, and International Law, and in that of other jurisdictions. What it means more precisely is, however, anything but clear; surprisingly little writing has been devoted to it. In the past, perhaps, there has been little need for such elaboration. As one Supreme Court Justice stressed, “[f]reedom to think is absolute of its own nature” because even “the most tyrannical government is powerless to control the inward workings of the mind.” But the rise of brain scanning, cognition enhancement, and other emerging technologies make this question a more pressing one. This volume provides an interdisciplinary exploration of how freedom of thought might function as an ethical principle and as a constitutional or human right. It draws on philosophy, legal analysis, history, and reflections on neuroscience and neurotechnology to explore what respect for freedom of thought (or an individual’s cognitive liberty or autonomy) requires.

Book Synopsis The Crimes of the Economy by : Vincenzo Ruggiero
Download or read book The Crimes of the Economy written by Vincenzo Ruggiero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists have often paid visits to the field of criminology, examining the rational logic of offending. When economists examine criminal activity, they imply that offenders should be treated like any other social actor making rational choices. In The Crimes of the Economy, Vincenzo Ruggiero turns the tables by examining a variety of economic schools of thought from a criminological perspective. Each one of these schools, he argues, justifies or even encourages harm produced by economic initiative. He investigates – among others – John Locke’s notion of private property, Mercantilism, the Physiocrats and Malthus, and the arguments of Adam Smith, Marshall, Keynes and neoliberalism. In each of these, the author identifies the potential justification of different forms of ‘crimes of the economy’ and victimisation. This book re-examines the history of economic thought, assessing it as the history of a discipline which, while attempting to gain scientific status, in reality seeks to make the social harm caused by economics acceptable. The book will be interesting and relevant to students and scholars of social theory, criminology, economics, philosophy and politics.

Book Synopsis International Criminal Justice at the Yugoslav Tribunal by : Mohamed Shahabuddeen
Download or read book International Criminal Justice at the Yugoslav Tribunal written by Mohamed Shahabuddeen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International criminal justice has undergone rapid recent development. Since the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 1993, and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in the following year, the field has changed beyond recognition. The traditional immunity of presidents or heads of government, prime ministers, and other functionaries acting in an official capacity no longer prevails; the doctrine of superior orders is inapplicable except, where appropriate, as in mitigation; and the gap between international armed conflict and non-international armed conflict has closed. More generally, the bridge has been crossed between the irresponsibility of the state and the criminal responsibility of the individual. As a result, the traditional impunity of the state has practically gone. This book, by one of the former judges of the ICTY, ICTR, and the International Court of Justice, assesses some of the workings of the ICTY that have shaped these developments. In it, Judge Shahabuddeen provides an insightful overview of the nature of this criminal court, established on behalf of the whole of the international community. He reflects on its transformation into one of the leading fora for the growth of international criminal law first-hand, offering a unique perspective on the challenges it has faced. Judge Shahabuddeen's experience in international criminal justice makes this volume essential reading for those interested in, or working with, international criminal law.

Book Synopsis A Philosophy of Criminal Attempts by : Bebhinn Donnelly-Lazarov
Download or read book A Philosophy of Criminal Attempts written by Bebhinn Donnelly-Lazarov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of criminal attempts unearths some of the most fundamental, intriguing and perplexing questions about criminal law and its place in human action. When does attempting begin? What is the relationship between attempting and intending? Do we always attempt the possible and, if so, possible to whom? Does attempting involve action and does action involve attempting? Is my attempt fixed by me or can another perspective reveal what it is? How 'much' action is needed for an attempt, how 'much' intention is needed and can these matters be decided categorically? Bebhinn Donnelly-Lazarov's answers to these questions will interest criminal law theorists, philosophers and lawyers or law reformers, who encounter the mixed practical and philosophical phenomenon of attempting. Inspired by G. E. M. Anscombe's philosophy, Part I examines attempting generally and its relationship with intention, action subjectivity, and possibility. From the conclusions reached, Part II proposes a specific theory of criminal attempts.

Download or read book Hate Crimes written by David L. Hudson and published by Infobase Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hate crimes are crimes that are motivated by hate or prejudice, whether it is based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender. Many people argue that these crimes should carry extra penalties because, in the words of former Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 'this conduct is thought to inflict greater individual and societal harm...bias-motivated crimes are more likely to provoke retaliatory crimes, inflict distinct emotional harms on their victims, and incite community unrest'. Opponents of hate-crime laws argue that extra penalties amount to prosecuting people for thought crimes. ""Hate Crimes"" examines both sides of this debate.

Book Synopsis Command and Persuade by : Peter Baldwin
Download or read book Command and Persuade written by Peter Baldwin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, when we have been largely socialized into good behavior, are there more laws that govern our behavior than ever before? Levels of violent crime have been in a steady decline for centuries--for millennia, even. Over the past five hundred years, homicide rates have decreased a hundred-fold. We live in a time that is more orderly and peaceful than ever before in human history. Why, then, does fear of crime dominate modern politics? Why, when we have been largely socialized into good behavior, are there more laws that govern our behavior than ever before? In Command and Persuade, Peter Baldwin examines the evolution of the state's role in crime and punishment over three thousand years. Baldwin explains that the involvement of the state in law enforcement and crime prevention is relatively recent. In ancient Greece, those struck by lightning were assumed to have been punished by Zeus. In the Hebrew Bible, God was judge, jury, and prosecutor when Cain killed Abel. As the state’s power as lawgiver grew, more laws governed behavior than ever before; the sum total of prohibited behavior has grown continuously. At the same time, as family, community, and church exerted their influences, we have become better behaved and more law-abiding. Even as the state stands as the socializer of last resort, it also defines through law the terrain on which we are schooled into acceptable behavior.
