Prisons and Prison Systems - A Global Encyclopedia (Hardcover): Mitchel P. Roth Prisons and Prison Systems - A Global Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Mitchel P. Roth
R2,899 Discovery Miles 28 990 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Examines prisons and prison systems throughout the world. Prisons have undoubtedly changed over the years, as have penal practices in general, though more so in some countries than others.

This comprehensive encyclopedia provides an historical overview of institutions and systems around the world, as well as penal theories, prisoner culture and life, and notable prisoners and personnel. Readers will find a wealth of information including material on such famous prisons as the Tower of London and Alcatraz, as well as on such topics as boot camps and parole. The other entries include Devil's Island, supermaximum prisons, Nelson Mandela, the Pennsylvania system, and Amnesty International. Also, numerous appendixes list famous prisoners, prison museums, prison slang, and more.

Historical Dictionary of Law Enforcement (Hardcover, New): Mitchel P. Roth Historical Dictionary of Law Enforcement (Hardcover, New)
Mitchel P. Roth
R2,498 Discovery Miles 24 980 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Viewing policing from an international perspective, this volume covers the history of law enforcement from early accounts of policing under Caesar Augustus to such present-day events as Rodney King and the LAPD. American policing dominates the book, but it also covers such items as the 1829 London Metropolitan police model and Continental innovations stemming from Napoleonic France. While including such well-known Americans as Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, the book also covers important policewomen, forgotten but exceptional African American policemen, and Indian Police forces that ranged the Oklahoma Territory. The book will be a useful resource for all those interested in the history of law enforcement.

Unlike existing reference works that try to cover both lawmen and criminals, this book focuses on the police diaspora. In addition to traditional police officers, it also includes nontraditional examples of law enforcement, such as private detectives, vigilante groups, and organizations such as Wells Fargo and the Pinkertons. The book provides an instructive blend of history, criminology, and police science.

Global Organized Crime - A Reference Handbook (Hardcover): Mitchel P. Roth Global Organized Crime - A Reference Handbook (Hardcover)
Mitchel P. Roth
R1,962 Discovery Miles 19 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book offers a comprehensive, multidimensional look into the major activities, groups, causes, and policing strategies related to global organized crime. Global Organized Crime: A Reference Handbook examines global organized crime dating back to its 17th-century roots. Unlike most works on the subject, which take a parochial approach by concentrating on individual countries or regions, this book uniquely details the impact of 21st-century globalization on such groups and their activities. Exploring the continuum of international organized crime and related developments from its early beginnings to the present era, the book also looks at the complicated issues that continue to influence its growth. It covers the impact of the end of the Cold War, immigration, the global drug trade, weapons sales, human smuggling and trafficking, the convergence of funding sources, and the effects of technology. What especially distinguishes this book is the connections it makes between organized crime activities and failed states, civil wars, political transitions, regional conflicts, and terrorist groups.

Judicial Corporal Punishment as an Alternative to Incarceration in the United States - Lessons Learned from Islamic Criminal... Judicial Corporal Punishment as an Alternative to Incarceration in the United States - Lessons Learned from Islamic Criminal Justice Systems
Sanaz Alasti; Foreword by Mitchel P. Roth
R2,060 Discovery Miles 20 600 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Sanaz Alasti leaves the mainstream alternatives to incarceration to examine a different, seemingly archaic approach, physical (but non-carceral) punishment—corporal punishment. This book ignites debates about the history, persistence, and use of corporal punishment in criminal justice systems. Alasti compares penological practices in in Western societies, represented by the United States, and Islamic societies, represented by Iran, to analyze which practices are more deterrent, less costly, and most humane. While Alasti does not suggest this should be the norm, she does present intriguing questions. Which is more barbaric? Is judicial corporal punishment a more humane and effective form of punishment compared to incarceration? Is corporal punishment a less cruel alternative to spending years behind bars in primitive and punitive jails and prisons? This book would be of interest to those studying criminology, criminal justice, history, law, and sociology.

Hiding the Guillotine - Public Executions in France, 1870–1939 (Hardcover): Emmanuel Taïeb Hiding the Guillotine - Public Executions in France, 1870–1939 (Hardcover)
Emmanuel Taïeb; Translated by Sarah-Louise Raillard; Foreword by Mitchel P. Roth
R1,229 Discovery Miles 12 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Hiding the Guillotine examines the question of state involvement in violence by tracing the evolution of public executions in France. Why did the state move executions from the bloody and public stage of the guillotine to behind prison doors? In a fascinating exploration of a grim subject, Emmanuel Taïeb exposes the rituals and theatrical form of the death penalty and tells us who watched, who participated in, and who criticized (and ultimately brought an end to) a spectacle that the state called "punishment." France's abolition of the death penalty in 1981 has long overshadowed its suppression of public executions over forty years earlier. Since the Revolution, executions attracted tens of thousands of curious onlookers. But, gradually, there was a shift in attitude and the public no longer saw this as a civilized pastime. Why? Combining material from legal archives, police files, an executioner's notebooks, newspaper clippings, and documents relating to 566 executions, Hiding the Guillotine answers this question. Taïeb demonstrates the ways in which the media was at the vanguard of putting an end to the publicity surrounding the death penalty. The press had ample reason to be critical: cities were increasingly being used for leisure activity and prisons for those accused of criminal activity. The agitation surrounding each execution, coupled with a growing identification with the condemned, would blur these boundaries. Ranked among the top hundred history books by the website, Café du Web Historizo, Hiding the Guillotine has much to impart to students of legal history, human rights, and criminology, as well as to American historians.
