But how? He’s not qualified for much of anything. He has no particular talents, although he is stellar at handling a lawn mower and wielding clipping shears. But now that career seems to be behind him. So what’s next for Mike Muñoz? In this funny, biting, touching, and ultimately inspiring novel, bestselling author Jonathan Evison takes the reader into the heart and mind of a young man determined to achieve the American dream of happiness and prosperity--who just so happens to find himself along the way.
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.

When a young writer discovers that her editor is in danger, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her f loorboards, and together they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past.

Book Synopsis When Police Kill by : Franklin E. Zimring
Download or read book When Police Kill written by Franklin E. Zimring and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A remarkable book.”—Malcolm Gladwell, San Francisco Chronicle Deaths of civilians at the hands of on-duty police are in the national spotlight as never before. How many killings by police occur annually? What circumstances provoke police to shoot to kill? Who dies? The lack of answers to these basic questions points to a crisis in American government that urgently requires the attention of policy experts. When Police Kill is a groundbreaking analysis of the use of lethal force by police in the United States and how its death toll can be reduced. Franklin Zimring compiles data from federal records, crowdsourced research, and investigative journalism to provide a comprehensive, fact-based picture of how, when, where, and why police resort to deadly force. Of the 1,100 killings by police in the United States in 2015, he shows, 85 percent were fatal shootings and 95 percent of victims were male. The death rates for African Americans and Native Americans are twice their share of the population. Civilian deaths from shootings and other police actions are vastly higher in the United States than in other developed nations, but American police also confront an unusually high risk of fatal assault. Zimring offers policy prescriptions for how federal, state, and local governments can reduce killings by police without risking the lives of officers. Criminal prosecution of police officers involved in killings is rare and only necessary in extreme cases. But clear administrative rules could save hundreds of lives without endangering police officers. “Roughly 1,000 Americans die each year at the hands of the police...The civilian body count does not seem to be declining, even though violent crime generally and the on-duty deaths of police officers are down sharply...Zimring’s most explosive assertion—which leaps out...—is that police leaders don’t care...To paraphrase the French philosopher Joseph de Maistre, every country gets the police it deserves.” —Bill Keller, New York Times “If you think for one second that the issue of cop killings doesn’t go to the heart of the debate about gun violence, think again. Because what Zimring shows is that not only are most fatalities which occur at the hands of police the result of cops using guns, but the number of such deaths each year is undercounted by more than half!...[A] valuable and important book...It needs to be read.” —Mike Weisser, Huffington Post
Book Synopsis Arrest-Proof Yourself by : Dale Carson
Download or read book Arrest-Proof Yourself written by Dale Carson and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Arrest-Proof Yourself will teach you everything you need to know about dirty cops, racial profiling, probable cause, search and seizure laws, your right to remain silent, and much more. This how-not-to guide will keep you safe and sound all year long." --Zink magazine What do you say if a cop pulls you over and asks to search your car? What if he gets up in your face and uses a racial slur? What if there's a roach in the ashtray? And what if your hot-headed teenage son is at the wheel? If you read this book, you'll know exactly what to do and say. More people than ever are getting arrested—usually for petty offenses against laws that rarely used to be enforced. And because arrest information is so easily available via the Internet, just one little arrest can disqualify you from jobs, financing, and education. This eye-opening book tells you everything you need to know about how cops operate, the little things that can get you in trouble, and how to stay free from the hungry jaws of the criminal justice system. It is now updated with new and important information on the right of the police to search your car; on guns, knives, and self-defense; and on changes in surveillance methods. Dale C. Carson was an FBI field agent, a SWAT sniper, an instructor at the FBI academy, and a Miami police officer who set Florida records for felony arrests. He is currently a criminal defense attorney. Wes Denham is the author of Arrested.

Download or read book The Banana Police written by Katy Koontz and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in the jungle is a sweet little town where people happily co-exist with elephants, until the townspeople become increasingly annoyed with their lovable, lumpy, neighbors. After all, they snore loudly, hog the best seats at the movies, and block all the aisles in the supermarket. Who needs that? When the Mayor calls on the Elephant Police to devise a clever scheme to get the elephants to leave, the town ends up buried in all the extra bananas the beasts usually eat. The Mayor then calls on the Banana Police to deal with the bananas, but it's the townspeople themselves who (burp ) finally get rid of them. Everyone ends up learning, immediately, if not sooner, as the Mayor is known to say, just how vital those pesky pachyderms really are. The unspoken message is about the value of peaceful co-existence and cooperation between inherently different groups.
Download or read book Pulled Over written by Charles R. Epp and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sheer numbers, no form of government control comes close to the police stop. Each year, twelve percent of drivers in the United States are stopped by the police, and the figure is almost double among racial minorities. Police stops are among the most recognizable and frequently criticized incidences of racial profiling, but, while numerous studies have shown that minorities are pulled over at higher rates, none have examined how police stops have come to be both encouraged and institutionalized. Pulled Over deftly traces the strange history of the investigatory police stop, from its discredited beginning as “aggressive patrolling” to its current status as accepted institutional practice. Drawing on the richest study of police stops to date, the authors show that who is stopped and how they are treated convey powerful messages about citizenship and racial disparity in the United States. For African Americans, for instance, the experience of investigatory stops erodes the perceived legitimacy of police stops and of the police generally, leading to decreased trust in the police and less willingness to solicit police assistance or to self-censor in terms of clothing or where they drive. This holds true even when police are courteous and respectful throughout the encounters and follow seemingly colorblind institutional protocols. With a growing push in recent years to use local police in immigration efforts, Hispanics stand poised to share African Americans’ long experience of investigative stops. In a country that celebrates democracy and racial equality, investigatory stops have a profound and deleterious effect on African American and other minority communities that merits serious reconsideration. Pulled Over offers practical recommendations on how reforms can protect the rights of citizens and still effectively combat crime.
Download or read book Unwarranted written by Barry Friedman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “At a time when policing in America is at a crossroads, Barry Friedman provides much-needed insight, analysis, and direction in his thoughtful new book. Unwarranted illuminates many of the often ignored issues surrounding how we police in America and highlights why reform is so urgently needed. This revealing book comes at a critically important time and has much to offer all who care about fair treatment and public safety.” —Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption In June 2013, documents leaked by Edward Snowden sparked widespread debate about secret government surveillance of Americans. Just over a year later, the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, set off protests and triggered concern about militarization of law enforcement and discriminatory policing. In Unwarranted, Barry Friedman argues that these two seemingly disparate events are connected—and that the problem is not so much the policing agencies as it is the rest of us. We allow these agencies to operate in secret and to decide how to police us, rather than calling the shots ourselves. And the courts, which we depended upon to supervise policing, have let us down entirely. Unwarranted tells the stories of ordinary people whose lives were torn apart by policing—by the methods of cops on the beat and those of the FBI and NSA. Driven by technology, policing has changed dramatically. Once, cops sought out bad guys; today, increasingly militarized forces conduct wide surveillance of all of us. Friedman captures the eerie new environment in which CCTV, location tracking, and predictive policing have made suspects of us all, while proliferating SWAT teams and increased use of force have put everyone’s property and lives at risk. Policing falls particularly heavily on minority communities and the poor, but as Unwarranted makes clear, the effects of policing are much broader still. Policing is everyone’s problem. Police play an indispensable role in our society. But our failure to supervise them has left us all in peril. Unwarranted is a critical, timely intervention into debates about policing, a call to take responsibility for governing those who govern us.
Book Synopsis Police Encounters by : L. D. Gillespie
Download or read book Police Encounters written by L. D. Gillespie and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF POLICE ENCOUNTERS, PLEASE ENJOY!!!This book is written by a former investigator and was designed to give the everyday citizen critical information about their rights when dealing with law enforcement. There might be information in this book you only need to know one time, but that one time could save your life. Case laws are also included.1) What is the difference between a frisk and a search? 2) Did you know that if you were getting patted down (frisked) by an officer and that officer starts manipulating the items in your pocket with his finger, that "pat-down" just became and illegal search? 3) Did you know that if that officer puts his hand in your pockets that "pat-down" just became an illegal search? 4) Did you know that a "pat-down" is to be conducted on the outer layer of your clothing? Police Encounters: Know Your Rights was designed to educate it's readers on their everyday rights. This book is written by a former Investigator, SWAT member, and Hostage Negotiator. As an Investigator I've worked: Street level narcotics and was assigned to a DEA task force (developed informants, conducted surveillance, conducted undercover operations, conducted wire taps) Property crimes (burglary and thefts) Person's crimes (aggravated assaults and violent offenses) Sexual assaults (rapes and sexual assaults against children) White collar crimes (identity thefts and frauds.) As an investigator I've worked God knows how many cases. It's sad, but many of them were crimes against children, we receive too many of those. Anyway, I drafted numerous search warrants in my career to search everything from vehicles to body cavities. I've taken thousands of arrest warrants and conducted about the same number of interviews. I've had people confess things to me from petty thefts to despicable child molestations. And I've received all the information with a straight face and the suspect thinking I was there to show them support. I can't recount how many times I conducted an interrogation and thought to myself, "You need to ask for a lawyer right about now." But, my job was to extract information; so I did. I've participated in more than my share of hot pursuit chases, high risk warrant services (arrest warrant and search warrants), no-knock search warrants, and stand-offs in which I had to negotiate. With that being said, the information in this book is true and accurate with applicable case law to back it up. After each section of this book you will find numerous case laws with brief descriptions that will support what was just stated. Feel free to research the case laws and read the full scenario of what happened to bring about the case law. Also, the "examples" given in this book are taken from actual events so everything is true to life. Police Encounters: Know Your Rights is straight forward and very easy to understand. If you didn't know the answers to the questions asked, then you need to get this book. There is no telling how many times your civil rights have already been violated, and you didn't have the slightest idea. If you have a friend or loved one in college, this is the book for them. If you have brushes with the law, then this is the book for you. There is information in here that you didn't know about, that I guarantee. Now is the time to gain this new knowledge so that you can be mentally aware for you and those close to you. There is information in this book that you may only need to know one time, but that one time can be the difference between freedom and life in prison, or remaining a sexual assault victim or fighting back with the law. The knowledge is here, I suggest you give it a once over because I've personally sent people to prison who didn't know when to ask for a lawyer. Grant, they did the crime, but a lawyer could have helped negotiate a lighter sentence for a confession and cooperation. Don't be one of these people.

Download or read book I'll Be Right There written by Kyung-Sook Shin and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A love story between friends. It is so well written. [Kyung-sook Shin] has this use of language that is just beautiful and poetic. It’s a great book if you’re looking to escape.” —Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author How friendship, European literature, and a charismatic professor defy war, oppression, and the absurd Set in 1980s South Korea amid the tremors of political revolution, I’ll Be Right There follows Jung Yoon, a highly literate, twenty-something woman, as she recounts her tragic personal history as well as those of her three intimate college friends. When Yoon receives a distressing phone call from her ex-boyfriend after eight years of separation, memories of a tumultuous youth begin to resurface, forcing her to re-live the most intense period of her life. With profound intellectual and emotional insight, she revisits the death of her beloved mother, the strong bond with her now-dying former college professor, the excitement of her first love, and the friendships forged out of a shared sense of isolation and grief. Yoon’s formative experiences, which highlight both the fragility and force of personal connection in an era of absolute uncertainty, become immediately palpable. Shin makes the foreign and esoteric utterly familiar: her use of European literature as an interpreter of emotion and experience bridges any gaps between East and West. Love, friendship, and solitude are the same everywhere, as this book makes poignantly clear.
