The enormous financial cost of criminal justice has motivated
increased scrutiny and recognition of the need for constructive
change, but what of the ethical costs of current practices and
policies? Moreover, if we seriously value the principles of liberal
democracy then there is no question that the ethics of criminal
justice are everybody's business, concerns for the entire society.
The Routledge Handbook of Criminal Justice Ethics brings together
international scholars to explore the most significant ethical
issues throughout their many areas of expertise, anchoring their
discussions in the empirical realities of the issues faced rather
than applying moral theory at a distance. Contributions from
philosophers, legal scholars, criminologists and psychologists
bring a fresh and interdisciplinary approach to the field. The
Handbook is divided into three parts: Part I addresses the core
issues concerning criminal sanction, the moral and political
aspects of the justification of punishment, and the relationship
between law and morality. Part II examines criminalization and
criminal liability, and the assumptions and attitudes shaping those
aspects of contemporary criminal justice. Part III evaluates
current policies and practices of criminal procedure, exploring the
roles of police, prosecutors, judges, and juries and suggesting
directions for revising how criminal justice is achieved.
Throughout, scholars seek pathways for change and suggest new
solutions to address the central concerns of criminal justice
ethics. This book is an ideal resource for upper-undergraduate and
postgraduate students taking courses in criminal justice ethics,
criminology, and criminal justice theory, and also for students of
philosophy interested in punishment, law and society, and law and
ethics.
What does it mean to trust the police? What makes the police
legitimate in the eyes of the policed? What builds trust,
legitimacy and cooperation, and what undermines the bond between
police and the public? These questions are central to current
debates concerning the relationship between the British police and
the public it serves. Yet, in the context of British policing they
are seldom asked explicitly, still less examined in depth. Drawing
on psychological and sociological explanatory paradigms, Just
Authority? presents a cutting-edge empirical study into public
trust, police legitimacy, and people's readiness to cooperate with
officers. It represents, first, the most detailed test to date of
Tom Tyler's procedural justice model attempted outside the United
States. Second, it uncovers the social ecology of trust and
legitimacy and, third, it describes the relationships between
trust, legitimacy and cooperation. This book contains many
important lessons for practitioners, policy-makers and academics.
As elsewhere the dominant vision of policing in Great Britain
continues to stress instrumental effectiveness: the 'fight against
crime' will be won by pro-active and even aggressive policing. In
line with work from the United States and elsewhere, Just
Authority? casts significant doubt on such claims. When people find
policing to be unfair, disrespectful and careless of human dignity,
not only is trust lost, legitimacy is also damaged and cooperation
is withdrawn as a result. Absent such public support, the job of
the police is made harder and the avowed objectives of less crime
and disorder placed ever further from reach.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, "Soledad Brother" is
an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a
powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his
spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make
palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled
black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from
the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story
still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while
locked down.
The fear of crime has been recognized as an important social
problem in its own right, with a significant number of citizens in
many countries concerned about crime. In this book, the authors
critically review the main findings from over 35 years of research
into attitudes to crime, highlighting groups who are most fearful
of crime and exploring the theories used to account for that fear.
Using this research, the authors move on to propose a new model for
the fear of crime, arguing that such methods, which involve
intensity questions (such as 'how worried are you about x ...'),
may actually conflate an 'expressive' or 'attitudinal' component of
the fear of crime with an experiential component and therefore fail
to provide a comprehensive insight into how crime is perceived.
Taking an entirely new approach to their subject, the authors use
existing quantitative data from the British Crime Survey to pose
theoretically informed questions to help identify those who only
'expressively' fear crime, separating them from those who have the
actual experience of worrying about crime. By exploring the extent
to which each group has different social attitudes and backgrounds,
and whether there is more than one social/cultural form of the fear
of crime, this innovative and exciting title promises to reposition
this aspect of criminology to a more prominent place.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it
was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the
first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and
farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original
texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly
contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various

Quantity Discounts surveys operations management literature and
offers ways to bridge remaining gaps between research and practice.
The authors include formulas and solution methods for some of the
fundamental quantity discount scenarios from both buyers' and
sellers' perspectives. Sample solution methods provide enough
detail to enable implementation by managers, and they provide a
flavor of the variety and complexity of some of the core techniques
appearing in the literature. Section 2 describes quantity discount
conditions and realities, including the many reasons why companies
offer them, the various quantity discount characteristics, results
from surveys of practicing mangers, and a sampling of real-world
discounts appearing in the literature. Section 3 provides a
literature review for buyer's perspective models, while Section 4
provides a review for seller's perspective models. Section 5
concludes with several recommendations for future research.
Finally, especially designed for instructors and practitioners, the
Appendix illustrates how to implement several standard quantity
discount models into Microsoft Excel with relative ease.
