Concern for crime victims has been a growing political issue in
improving the legitimacy and success of the criminal justice system
through the rhetoric of rights. Since the 1970s there have been
numerous reforms and policy documents produced to enhance victims'
satisfaction in the criminal justice system. The Republic of
Ireland has seen a sea-change in more recent years from a focus on
services for victims to a greater emphasis on procedural rights.
The purpose of this book is to chart these reforms against the
backdrop of wider political and regional changes emanating from the
European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, and to
critically examine whether the position of crime victims has
actually ameliorated. The book discusses the historical and
theoretical concern for crime victims in the criminal justice
system, examins the variety of forms of legal and service provision
inclusion, amd concludes by analysing the various needs of victims
which continue to be unmet. -- .
Although they are typically portrayed by the media as dangerous
extremists in distant lands, Muslims in fact form a permanent,
peaceful and growing population in nearly every Western country.
While Westerners are now more commonly seeing mosques in their
neighborhoods or scarved Muslim women in their streets,
misperceptions and stereotypes remain. With expanding numbers and
desires to protect their rights and identities, Muslims are coming
into more and more into the public view. In Muslim Minorites in the
West noted scholars Haddad and Smith bring together outstanding
essays on the distinct experiences of minority Muslim communities
from Detroit, Michigan to Perth, Australia and the wide range of
issues facing them. Haddad and Smith in their introduction trace
the broad contours of the Muslim experience in Europe, America and
other areas of European settlement and shed light on the common
questions minority Muslims face of assimilation, discrimination,
evangelism, and politics. Muslim Minorities in the West provides a
welcome introduction to these increasingly visible citizens of
Western nations.
TECHNIQUES FOR COLLEGE WRITING: THE THESIS STATEMENT AND BEYOND is
a brief rhetoric that empowers students as writers by giving them
the tools they need to create a precise and well-focused thesis.
Using the thesis statement as the lens through which students can
approach the entire thinking and writing process, TECHNIQUES is
divided into three parts that build upon one another: Part
I--Thinking Through the Thesis Statement, Part II--Thinking Through
Your Writing Assignment, and Part III--Writing Beyond the
Composition Classroom. A wide range of journal articles, book
excerpts, student essays, paintings, magazine ads, poetry, and
short stories make the text accessible to students, and "Thinking
Through a Reading" questions promote active reading and in-class
discussion. In-chapter practice exercises, writing applications,
revision tools, and writing assignments help students gain
confidence so that they can begin to incorporate the techniques
they've learned in the book into their own personal writing styles.
