"A smart, well-documented book about a group of people determined to hold the powerful to account."-2021 NPR "Books We Love" "Journalism at its best."-2022 Southwest Books of the Year: Top Pick A 2021 Immigration Book of the Year, Immigration Prof Blog Investigative Reporters & Editors Book Award Finalist 2021 How Latino activists brought down powerful Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Journalists Terry Greene Sterling and Jude Joffe-Block spent years chronicling the human consequences of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's relentless immigration enforcement in Maricopa County, Arizona. In Driving While Brown, they tell the tale of two opposing movements that redefined Arizona's political landscape-the restrictionist cause advanced by Arpaio and the Latino-led resistance that rose up against it. The story follows Arpaio, his supporters, and his adversaries, including Lydia Guzman, who gathered evidence for a racial-profiling lawsuit that took surprising turns. Guzman joined a coalition determined to stop Arpaio, reform unconstitutional policing, and fight for Latino civil rights. Driving While Brown details Arpaio's transformation-from "America's Toughest Sheriff," who forced inmates to wear pink underwear, into the nation's most feared immigration enforcer who ended up receiving President Donald Trump's first pardon. The authors immerse readers in the lives of people on both sides of the battle and uncover the deep roots of the Trump administration's immigration policies. The result of tireless investigative reporting, this powerful book provides critical insights into effective resistance to institutionalized racism and the community organizing that helped transform Arizona from a conservative stronghold into a battleground state.

On July 1, 2003, work-hour reforms were enacted nationally for the roughly 129,000 resident physicians in the United States. The reforms limit weekly work hours (a maximum of eighty per week) and in-hospital call (no more than once every three nights), mandate days free of clinical and educational obligations (one day in seven), and regulate other aspects of resident work life. Why Surgeons Struggle with Work-Hour Reforms focuses on general surgeons, a historically long-hour specialty, who fiercely opposed the reforms and are among the least compliant. Why do surgeons struggle with the reforms? Why do they continue to work long hours and view the act of doing so as reasonable if not quintessentially professional? Although the analysis is situated in the growing scientific literature on the consequences of fatigue, the authors do not adjudicate between the claims of surgeons and reform advocates about the effects of long work hours on patient or provider safety. Rather, the aim is to explore and explain how aspects of the occupational culture of surgeons and the social organization of surgical training and practice interlock to impede the reforms.

Workplace Violence and Harassment: A Forensic Investigation Handbook is a definitive manual for those tasked with screening and conducting workplace investigations of varying severity, sensitivity, and complexity. The opening chapter delves into the definition of workplace violence and discusses how different organizations have attempted to carve out policies to reflect its often interpretive nature. The second chapter examines the definitions of workplace harassment and sexual harassment and misconduct. It discusses the challenges investigators and organizations alike may face if a workplace has tolerated such behavior in the past and is now actively investigating such claims. Through a forensic and investigative lens, Chapter 3 addresses discrimination in the workplace and poisoned or toxic environments. Chapter 4 looks at how an investigator should begin the process of a formal inquiry and whether an impartial third party should be brought into the investigation. In Chapter 5, readers examine best practices for conducting investigative interviews, from constructing interview questions to selecting interview spaces to documenting and recording interactions with all parties involved. The closing chapter addresses what comes after the completion of all interviews and the delivery of investigative reports, as well as how investigators can remain safe and healthy throughout the process. Workplace Violence and Harassment is a unique and critical guide for future and practicing human resource managers, private corporate investigators, and corporate legal counsel.
