Democratic Policing in Transitional and Developing Countries
Is it possible to create democratic forms of policing in transitional and developing societies? This volume argues that policing models and practices promoted by the west are often inadequate for adoption by countries making democratic transitions because they do not adequately address issues such as human rights, equity, co-production, accountability, openness and organizational change. Therefore police reform is often limited to a "one size fits all" approach. The book expands the dialogue so that discussions of democratic policing around the world are more realistic, comprehensive and sensitive to the local context. Detailed case studies on Iraq, South Africa, Northern Ireland and Kazakhstan provide a realistic assessment of the current state of policing. The editors use the studies to suggest how to promote democratic policing and other important goals of democratic reform around the world. The volume will assist academics, policy makers, NGOs and others in tailoring a local democratic policing strategy within a broader framework to enhance socioeconomic development and citizen capacity, build social capital, reduce various forms of conflict and support human rights.
Inside the Mind of a Serial Rapist
This book is not for weak, bleeding heart liberals. My aim is to tell what I learned from the mouths of 61 men who remembered close to 400 sexual assaults and forgot the rest. It all started one day when I saw this sign: "ALL MEN ARE POTENTIAL RAPISTS, BEWARE!" No, I cried at no one and everyone, and decided to examine the question. It was clear that the power brokers turned the study of rape into a political obsession instead of a criminal investigation. Rape, they said, was a devise used by aggressive men to enslave women. Some women were no longer willing to accept the lead of aggressive men. Maybe they're right, but not all men want to control women. Angry women, and some should be, think so! Now, as evidenced by that sign, some angry women stirred concerns inside me demanding inquiry. After the average god-fearing male reads the accounts of violence, manipulation, torture, sexual murder, necrophilla and cannibalism and thinks he's anything like the offenders in this study, then it might be safe to say that all women are potential whores, and that ain't right either.

Society, Ethics, and the Law: A Reader
Society, Ethics, and the Law: A Reader is an engaging, thoughtful, and academic text designed to help students make connections to ethical issues using real-world examples and thought-provoking discussion questions. Comprised of 57 original articles, topics range from traditional philosophical based academic articles to conversational style narratives of practitioners’ experiences with ethical issues within the criminal justice system. Content spans areas of criminal justice from traditional (police, courts, and corrections), to popular culture (rap, social media, and technology), to timely (immigration, gun control, and mental health). Authored by real-world experts, "Character in Context" sections illustrate how ethics impacts daily life. These include, among others, Jim Obergefell’s perspective on society, ethics, and the law as it relates to his experience as plaintiff in the Supreme Court Case Obergefell V. Hodges- the case that legalized gay marriage.
Growing Up Postmodern
This collection takes its inspiration from Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd, a landmark critique of American culture at the end of the 1950s. Goodman called for a revival of social investment in urban planning, public welfare, workplace democracy, free speech, racial harmony, sexual freedom, popular culture, and education to produce a society that could inspire young people, and an adult society worth joining. In postmodernity, Goodman's enlightenment-era vision of social progress has been judged obsolete. For many postmodern critics, subjectivity is formed and expressed not through social investment, but through consumption; the freedom to consume has replaced political empowerment. But the...
