of chihuahuas. Chihuahua Papi (voice of George Lopez) moves into a
luxury hotel in Beverly Hills along with both his dog and human
families. When his smallest puppy, Rosa (Kay Panabaker), feels
insignificant because of her size, Papi encourages her to discover
her hidden strengths.
This book examines the processes for social integration and social
cohesion among young people, drawing on data collected from the
International Self-Report Delinquency (ISRD) study, which covered
35 studies.This report examines case studies from 5 selected
countries (France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom,
and the United States) to provide an in-depth comparative study.
Social integration processes are defined by sociologists as the
mechanisms through which a society is held together, and
populations are transformed into collectivities and communities.
They are understood by criminologists to be an important factor in
crime prevention, and factors such as peer groups and families are
strong determinants of criminal behavior. In a time when society,
and particularly young people, can seem increasingly fragmented
(due to new technologies, rapidly increasing migration, economic
inequality, and increased individuation), the researchers in this
volume seek to understand whether and how these phenomena affect
young people, and how they may have an impact on the development of
criminal and antisocial behavior. This work will provide a
framework for researchers in criminology and criminal justice,
particularly with an interest in juveniles, developmental
criminology, and crime prevention, as well as related fields such
as sociology, social work, and demography.
Police-citizen relations are in the public spotlight following
outbursts of anger and violence. Such clashes often happen as a
response to fatal police shootings, racial or ethnic
discrimination, or the mishandling of mass protests. But even in
such cases, citizens' assessment of the police differs considerably
across social groups. This raises the question of the sources and
impediments of citizens' trust and support for police. Why are
police-citizen relations much better in some countries than in
others? Are police-minority relations doomed to be strained? And
which police practices and policing policies generate trust and
legitimacy? Research on police legitimacy has been centred on US
experiences, and relied on procedural justice as the main
theoretical approach. This book questions whether this approach is
suitable and sufficient to understand public attitudes towards the
police across different countries and regions of the world. This
volume shows that the impact of macro-level conditions, of societal
cleavages, and of state and political institutions on
police-citizen relations has too often been neglected in
contemporary research. Building on empirical studies from around
the world as well as cross-national comparisons, this volume
considerably expands current perspectives on the sources of police
legitimacy and citizens' trust in the police. Combining the
analysis of micro-level interactions with a perspective on the
contextual framework and varying national conditions, the
contributions to this book illustrate the strength of a broadened
perspective and lead us to ask how specific national frameworks
shape the experiences of policing.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book argues that policing should be studied in a truly
comparative manner as a way of identifying more accurately the
diverse features of police organisations and the trends which
affect contemporary policing. Studying policing comparatively is
also a way to develop more sophisticated theories on the relations
between police, state, and society aiming at higher degree of
generalization. In particular, broadening the empirical basis,
often limited to Western countries, favours the formulation of more
encompassing theories. The comparative analysis, then, is used to
refine meso or macro theories on various aspects of policing. The
book covers the challenges of comparative research in diverse areas
of policing studies with innovative tools and approaches to allow
for the development of that subfield of policing. It is a
significant new contribution to policing studies, and will be a
great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of
Public Policy, Sociology, Political Science and Law. The chapters
in this book were originally published in Policing and Society.
Ex-NYPD cop Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson) now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last.
Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.
