Excerpt: Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our Communities by George L. Kelling and Catharine Cole is a criminology and urban sociology book published in 1996, about crime and strategies to contain or eliminate it from urban neighborhoods. The book is based on an article titled "Broken Windows" by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, which appeared in the March 1982 edition of The Atlantic Monthly. The title comes from the following example: A successful strategy for preventing vandalism, say the book's authors, is to fix the problems when they are small. Repair the broken windows within a short time, say, a day or a week, and the tendency is that vandals are much less likely to break more windows or do further damage. Clean up the sidewalk every day, and the tendency is for litter not to accumulate (or for the rate of littering to be much less). Problems do not escalate and thus respectable residents do not flee a neighborhood. The theory thus makes two major claims: that further petty crime and low-level anti-social behavior will be deterred, and that major crime will, as a result, be prevented. Criticism of the theory has tended to focus only on the latter claim. The book's author, George L. Kelling, was hired as a consultant to the New York City Transit Authority i...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=66836 ... Read more

Great book...up to 1992, that is
This is a fine book by Anthony Frewin regarding all the relevant films and tv programs from 1963-1992...but what about 1993-2006? I hope he follows up and does an update. I am on several pages regarding the Zapruder film and the June 1991 Third Decade Conference in Fredonia, NY

Product Description
Library research has changed dramatically since Marilyn Lutzker and Eleanor Ferrall's Criminal Justice Research in Libraries was published in 1986. In addition to covering the enduring elements of traditional research, this new edition provides full coverage of research using the World Wide Web, hypertext documents, computer indexes, and other online resources. It gives an in-depth explanation of such concepts as databases, networks, and full text, and the Internet gets a full chapter. The chapters on bibliographic searching, the library catalog, and comparative research are almost completely new, and chapters on indexes and abstracts, newsletters, newspapers and news broadcasts, documents, reports and conference proceedings, and statistics reflect the shift to computerized sources. The chapter on legal resources discusses the wealth of legal information available on the Internet. This book is a valuable guide for both students and scholars wishing to research criminal justice. ... Read more

Product Description
Students, policy makers, lawyers, and researchers in many disciplines often require information pertaining to U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Janousek's new edition of this immensely valuable work will simplify the process of finding excerpts and commentary on every Supreme Court decision, as well as the texts, whether in government documents or reprinted in other sources, of the decisions themselves. This third volume in the series covers the literature from 1980 to 1995, indexing discussion and analysis in both monographs and periodicals of Court decisions from its earliest days. The volume is divided into five major parts: a bibliography of nearly 600 titles; a listing of over 300 periodical titles; a chronological list of the court decisions, each with a citation, a date, and a list of relevant secondary works; an alphabetical listing of parties involved in each case; and a subject index to the topics discussed in the various cases. Reviews of Previous Editions: "Quicker to use than either "United States Reports" or the" United States Supreme Court Reports, lawyer's edition", this guide is especially recommended for undergraduate students of U.S. constitutional law. However, its clarity and excellent subject index make it useful for anyone interested in the U.S. Supreme Court cases covered in the guide."--CHOICE "Not every library has, or indeed needs, a long run of the "United States Supreme Court Reports", yet most libraries own anthologies of notable decisions. [This book] indexes not only these anthologies but also case discussions that appeared in books and periodicals--just the sort of information students often find more helpful and intelligible than the texts of the decisions themselves. It is impossible to overestimate this index's convenience value to students and laypersons."--WILSON LIBRARY BULLETIN ... Read more

Chapters: 2004 Palm Island Death in Custody. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 32. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The 2004 Palm Island death in custody incident relates to the death of Palm Island, Queensland resident, Mulrunji on Friday, 19 November 2004 in a police cell. The death of Mulrunji led to civic disturbances on the island and a legal, political and media sensation that continued for three years culminating in the first trial of an Australian police officer for a death in custody. The officer was acquitted by a Townsville jury in June 2007. The series of controversies had broad implications for the Palm Island community and their relationship with Government and the broader Australian people. Two legal questions arise from the death, firstly whether the taking into custody of Mulrunji was lawful and were the injuries that led to his death caused by the arresting officer. Politically this event raised questions relating to the 1990 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and whether its recommendations to prevent deaths in custody had been implemented by Government. Mulrunji, an Indigenous Australian was aged 36 when he died. The time of death was about 11:20am on Palm Island, one hour after being picked up for allegedly causing a public nuisance. Mulrunji was placed in the two-cell lockup which was the back section of the Palm Island Police Station. Fellow Palm Islander Patrick Bramwell was placed in the adjoining cell. The arresting officer, Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley, and the police liaison officer, Lloyd Bengaroo, were flown off the island the following Monday after receiving threats. This was the 147th death of an Aboriginal person in custody since the handing down of the 1990 Royal Commission. An autopsy report by Coroner Michael Barnes was produced f...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9242694 ... Read more

Chapters: Fernando Arrabal. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 30. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Medieval16th century 17th century18th century 19th century20th century Contemporary Fernando Arrabal Terán (born August 11, 1932 in Melilla, Spain) is a Spanish playwright, screenwriter, film director, novelist and poet. He settled in France in 1955, he describes himself as desterrado, or half-expatriate, half-exiled. Arrabal has directed seven full-length feature films; he has published over 100 plays, 14 novels, 800 poetry collections, chapbooks, and artists books; several essays, and his notorious Letter to General Franco during the dictators lifetime. His complete plays have been published in a number of languages, in a two-volume edition totaling over two thousand pages. The New York Times theatre critic Mel Gussow has called Arrabal the last survivor among the three avatars of modernism. In 1962 Arrabal co-founded the Panic Movement with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor, inspired by the god Pan, and was elected Transcendent Satrap of the Collège de Pataphysique in 1990. Forty other Transcendent Satraps have been elected over the past half-century, including Marcel Duchamp, Eugène Ionesco, Man Ray, Boris Vian, Dario Fo, Umberto Eco and Jean Baudrillard. A friend of Andy Warhol and Tristan Tzara, Arrabal spent three years as a member of André Bretons surrealist group. Arrabals theatre is a wild, brutal, cacophonous, and joyously provocative world. It is a dramatic carnival in which the carcass of our advanced civilizations is barbecued over the spits of a permanent revolution. He is the artistic heir of Kafkas lucidity and Jarrys humor; in his violence, Arrabal is related to Sade and Artaud. Yet he is doubtless the only writer to have pushed derision as far as he did.
