Rich In Experience: A Memoir
Author: Charles B. Mikell, Jr.
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329814622
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
Rich in Experience is a memoir by the late Charles B. Mikell, Jr., Chief Judge of the Georgia Court of Appeals. Judge Mikell--or "Charlie," as many knew him--became one of Georgia's great jurists, but his path was long and winding. Rich in Experience takes the reader from Charlie's humble beginnings in coastal Georgia, through the hallowed halls of Princeton University, humid jungles of the Vietnam War, grey uniformity of Communist Czechslovakia, and rarified courtrooms throughout the State of Georgia. Charlie's stories about French kissing his high school dates, smuggling a Czechslovak president's silverware, and settling high-stakes disputes in Georgia law, among other things, are sure to intrigue and delight. He began work on Rich in Experience after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. Throughout the following seven years, until his death in 2013, Charlie meditated and reflected on the rich experiences of his life and produced this compelling volume.

DWI Repeat Offenders
Author: Douglas J. Beirness
Publisher: Office
ISBN:
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
This report provides a comprehensive review of the literature on a high-risk group of drinking drivers: driving while impaired (DWI) repeat offenders. It first defines the DWI problem and assess its magnitude in Canada, then reviews the characteristics of DWI repeat offenders, including their drinking patterns and problems, demographic characteristics, and driving-related problems. The remainder of the report examines what can be done about DWI repeat offenders. Chapter 4 describes a model of impaired driving that identifies the stages of the behaviour and the opportunities for intervention. It then outlines the different perspectives and their approaches for dealing with the problem. The next three chapters review how some of those approaches might be used with the DWI repeat offender at the following stages of intervention: prevention, identification and apprehension, and sanctions (driver- or vehicle-based), assessment, and rehabilitation. The final chapter discusses program and policy options for dealing with DWI repeat offenders efficiently and effectively, and how such measures could be integrated to form a comprehensive countermeasure strategy. The appendix provides an overview of the legislation governing impaired driving offences in Canada.

Unusually Cruel
Author: Marc Morjé Howard
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019065936X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The United States incarcerates far more people than any other country in the world, at rates nearly ten times higher than other liberal democracies. Indeed, while the U.S. is home to 5 percent of the world's population, it contains nearly 25 percent of its prisoners. But the extent of American cruelty goes beyond simply locking people up. At every stage of the criminal justice process - plea bargaining, sentencing, prison conditions, rehabilitation, parole, and societal reentry - the U.S. is harsher and more punitive than other comparable countries. In Unusually Cruel, Marc Morjé Howard argues that the American criminal justice and prison systems are exceptional - in a truly shameful way. Although other scholars have focused on the internal dynamics that have produced this massive carceral system, Howard provides the first sustained comparative analysis that shows just how far the U.S. lies outside the norm of established democracies. And, by highlighting how other countries successfully apply less punitive and more productive policies, he provides plausible solutions to addressing America's criminal justice quagmire.
