I lied to her. Betrayed her, but I’ll never let her go. Telica Vivenzio is like poison. Her innocence intoxicates me wrapped up in all that hard exterior lies the heart of a warrior. Unlike me, she has suppressed her darkness behind a cynical demeanor and snarky attitude. Her transgressions are lies and petty theft and mine are the countless bodies and nameless faces scattered across the globe. When he dares to take her, and my truth is revealed, then I know that I have lost her. She is my light through the darkness. The calming balm to my fragile mind. I’ve killed for her in the past, and I’ll do it again. The don has forbidden me from claiming her as mine, but I could no more turn my back on her than cease my own heart to beat. Keeping her means signing my own death warrant, but after one taste of her, my fate has been sealed. It’s a shame to taint someone so pure, but I must drag her into the darkness, one last time. Betrayed by Alcino is a mafia romance suspense. This book contains dark themes, which may not be suitable for all readers.

Policing and Punishment in Nineteenth Century Britain
Author: Victor Bailey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317374894
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
In the years between 1750 and 1868, English criminal justice underwent significant changes. The two most crucial developments were the gradual establishment of an organised, regular police, and the emergence of new secondary punishments, following the restriction in the scope of the death penalty. In place of an ill-paid parish constabulary, functioning largely through a system of rewards and common informers, professional police institutions were given the task of executing a speedy and systematic enforcement of the criminal law. In lieu of the severe and capriciously-administered capital laws, a penalty structure based on a proportionality between the gravity of crimes and the severity of punishments was erected as arguably a more effective deterrent of crime. This book, first published in 1981, examines the impact of these two important developments and casts new light on the way in which law enforcement evolved during the nineteenth century. This title will be of interest to students of history and criminology.

Book Description
"Conflicts during the Old Republic between Rio de Janeiro's lower orders and their employers, the transit companies, and the state about the effects of 'modernization' resulted in many losses, but also a few victories for the poor. Such popular protests have been marginalized by a historiography that tends to label them 'pre-modern' and to privilege workplace organization and protest over community protest"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

On the Mersey Beat
Author: Michael Brogden
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
A different kind of police history, this book tells the story from below -- from the rank and file officers trapped between the authoritarian dictates of their superiors and a realistically distrustful public. Historically, the major police mission has been to keep the streets clean of any group (young people, vagrants, bookies) that challenged by their presence and demeanor the moral mandate of policing. According to this oral testimony, police work in Britain was traditionally one of "policing strangers by strangers." Recent accounts of "community policing" have no historical pedigree. This account of between-the-war policing dicusses the effects of the Police Strike of 1919 on its participants, considers the ramifications of policework on family life, and documents the tedium of lonely beat work. It discusses the relationship between City Police, industrial workers and ethnic minorities, and recounts in individual testimony police interaction with bookies and prostitutes and the pettiness of CID work. This in-depth study will be of interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, history, and police studies.
