A tale of murder and mystery and much more..."

Down, Out &Under Arrest
Author: Forrest Stuart
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022637095X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
“A well-supported critique of therapeutic policing and, by extension, of similar paternalistic efforts to help the poor by hassling them into good behavior.” —Los Angeles Times In his first year working in Los Angeles’s Skid Row, Forrest Stuart was stopped on the street by police fourteen times. Usually for doing little more than standing there. Juliette, a woman he met during that time, has been stopped by police well over one hundred times, arrested upward of sixty times, and has given up more than a year of her life serving week-long jail sentences. Her most common crime? Simply sitting on the sidewalk—an arrestable offense in LA. Why? What purpose did those arrests serve, for society or for Juliette? How did we reach a point where we’ve cut support for our poorest citizens, yet are spending ever more on policing and prisons? That’s the complicated, maddening story that Stuart tells in Down, Out & Under Arrest, a close-up look at the hows and whys of policing poverty in the contemporary United States. What emerges from Stuart’s years of fieldwork—not only with Skid Row residents, but with the police charged with managing them—is a tragedy built on mistakes and misplaced priorities more than on heroes and villains. At a time when distrust between police and the residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods has never been higher, Stuart’s book helps us see where we’ve gone wrong, and what steps we could take to begin to change the lives of our poorest citizens—and ultimately our society itself—for the better.

Small Town Girl
Author: Donna McLean
Publisher: Coronet
ISBN: 1529379865
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
'Utterly compelling from the first page' - Kerry Hudson 'Gripping . . . this is one not to miss' - Irish Times For two years, Donna McLean lived a life of bliss with her boyfriend, Carlo. But her great love story wasn't just built on lies - it was one. Because Carlo wasn't a bike-obsessed Italian locksmith at all; he was a British police officer, part of a unit that had worked undercover for years to infiltrate activist groups across the country. More than twenty of those officers deliberately targeted women and duped them into relationships, posing as socialists, environmental campaigners and union reps, before vanishing without a trace. Small Town Girl is Donna's shattering story of a life turned upside down overnight, and her reclamation of a truth that was shamelessly buried by those who should be protecting the most vulnerable in society. 'Mind-blowing, gut-wrenching, shocking and beautifully written' - Chris Atkins

UNLUCKY IN LOVE…AND EVERYTHING ELSE! Wherever Callie Chance went, disaster seemed to strike, from exploding faucets to broken engagements.

TV Cops
Author: Jonathan Nichols-Pethick
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0415877873
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The police drama has been one of the longest running and most popular genres in American television. In TV Cops, Jonathan Nichols-Pethick argues that, perhaps more than any other genre, the police series in all its manifestations--from Hill Street Blues to Miami Vice to The Wire--embodies the full range of the cultural dynamics of television. Exploring the textual, industrial, and social contexts of police shows on American television, this book demonstrates how police dramas play a vital role in the way we understand and engage issues of social order that most of us otherwise experience only in such abstractions as laws and crime statistics. And given the current diffusion and popularity of the form, we might ask a number of questions that deserve serious critical attention: Under what circumstances have stories about the police proliferated in popular culture? What function do these stories serve for both the television industry and its audiences? Why have these stories become so commercially viable for the television industry in particular? How do stories about the police help us understand current social and political debates about crime, about the communities we live in, and about our identities as citizens?

The Game of Cops and Robbers on Graphs
Author: Anthony Bonato
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821853473
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book is the first and only one of its kind on the topic of Cops and Robbers games, and more generally, on the field of vertex pursuit games on graphs. The book is written in a lively and highly readable fashion, which should appeal to both senior undergraduates and experts in the field (and everyone in between). One of the main goals of the book is to bring together the key results in the field; as such, it presents structural, probabilistic, and algorithmic results on Cops and Robbers games. Several recent and new results are discussed, along with a comprehensive set of references. The book is suitable for self-study or as a textbook, owing in part to the over 200 exercises. The reader will gain insight into all the main directions of research in the field and will be exposed to a number of open problems.

Category : Law
Languages : en

Book Description
Thomas B. Fitzgerald, aka TFitz, is a software engineer who has found himself involved in his fair share of police interactions: good and bad. This guide is the culmination of those events. TFitz offers a no holds barred view in regards to any sort of interaction with law enforcement, and offers practical advice to help you when the time comes. At 20 years old, his residence was surrounded by jump-out boys, claiming probable cause for a search after illegally entering the home’s curtilage and smelling marijuana. He was told later, an informant claimed dope was being cooked there. They left with nothing but a few people in handcuffs and a small amount of marijuana. At 23 he was pulled over for improper lane usage. Sober, yet refused to blow. Much money and time later, he was found not guilty of any charges. That night the arresting officer had broken the record for number of DUI arrests. Currently he is doing all he can to fight for the most important person in his life, his son. He is an outstanding father & role model, and there is nothing in the world he wouldn’t do to protect Zeke (his son). He has been awaiting trial for 1.5 years on false accusations of domestic violence. During that time he has met many others who have family members currently jailed over lies and others’ abuses of our legal system. He is doing his part to help change that with the organization Women Against False Accusations. If you are interested, search TFitz on YouTube; he’ll be there. Please send prayers and love to all.

Prostitution and Sex Work
Author: Melissa Hope Ditmore
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313362904
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
A fascinating overview of prostitution and sex work in the United States, from the Colonial era to today, examines the issue as it affects men, women, and transgender individuals of all races and classes. Prostitution and Sex Work is the first book since 1921 to offer a historic overview of this controversial topic—and what our views on it say about American society. Exploring key people, places, and events, the guide includes descriptions of the myriad variations of the sale of sex and of the venues where prostitution occurs, as well as recurring themes such as panics about sexually transmitted diseases and the ever-present issue of violence in the sex trade. After reviewing the history of prostitution and sex work over the past 400 years, the book offers detailed information about the legal context of prostitution in America during the last century. It focuses particularly on the period since prostitution was criminalized during a panic over "white slavery" in the early 20th century, drawing parallels with current "sex trafficking" topics. An appendix of materials produced by sex workers is especially informative for those wishing to truly understand both sides of the issue.
