Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory account of the misdemeanor machine that unjustly brands millions of Americans as criminals. Punishment Without Crime offers an urgent new interpretation of inequality and injustice in America by examining the paradigmatic American offense: the lowly misdemeanor. Based on extensive original research, legal scholar Alexandra Natapoff reveals the inner workings of a massive petty offense system that produces over 13 million cases each year. People arrested for minor crimes are swept through courts where defendants often lack lawyers, judges process cases in mere minutes, and nearly everyone pleads guilty. This misdemeanor machine starts punishing people long before they are convicted; it punishes the innocent; and it punishes conduct that never should have been a crime. As a result, vast numbers of Americans -- most of them poor and people of color -- are stigmatized as criminals, impoverished through fines and fees, and stripped of drivers' licenses, jobs, and housing. For too long, misdemeanors have been ignored. But they are crucial to understanding our punitive criminal system and our widening economic and racial divides. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2018

Download or read book Caught and Spanked written by J. G. Knox and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carley is young, inexperienced and in love. She breaks the rules, is about to make love. Interrupted by Officer O'Holleran and a visit to the sheriff's office, she goes home with her mother. Instead of new exciting feelings on her backside in the back of a pickup truck, she experiences old exciting feelings on her backside at home. A Christian mother, a Christian daughter, one learns the value of virtue; her life changed by appropriate Christian discipline.Afterward: The discussion: Corporal punishment is not the sole property of Christianity. Islam is even more specific in requiring corporal punishment. Most Islamic nations and culture encourage discipline, as does Christianity. Are there any major world religions that historically opposed corporal punishment? America was founded on freedom of choice in religion, not freedom from religion. However socialist governments of the last century frequently opposed all religion. In Russia, in 1917, after the victory of Communist forces over the Czar, corporal punishment was abolished in the schools, and a great experiment was set in motion in which the lives of the people of Russia were greatly changed. No religion, no corporal punishment---did violence decrease in the Communist world? If memory serves me correctly more than 26 million people were executed after the revolution. Has elimination of corporal punishment decreased violence as America joined the historical Communist position in opposing religion and discipline in public schools?Russia has changed. It is now using corporal punishment for crimes, and their rate of dope addiction is dropping in those locations where possession of narcotics is punished by paddling, not imprisonment. The rate of violent crime in the Muslim world, where corporal punishment is often required by law, ranges from 1 to 10% of what we have in America. Are there any studies based on sound scientific principles which support the elimination of corporal punishment? If there are, I haven't found one.Paddling, spanking, corporal punishment is becoming a crime in America, wrong, evil. Is it? All the major religions prescribe it. Are the statics linking violent crime and LACK of corporal punishment all wrong? What is wrong, is doing it incorrectly. The purpose of this story, and the other books I have written including this subject are to show the right way, the non-abusive way to correct. Hurting a child, spanking in anger, using a tool that can cause injury---these are wrong. Spanking with proper knowledge and love is very different. Causing tears of repentance and correction without harm in order to avert tears of a life irreparably damaged is right---not wrong.However, this is a discussion. No human who feels or has felt pain is completely objective on this subject. We need to follow facts. We need to consider and learn why Russia, who led the world in abandoning corporal punishment is bringing it back, and why there is such a striking difference in the statistics of violent crime between nations who use corporal punishment and those who don't---being much lower in nations using corporal punishment.
Download or read book An Essay on Crimes and Punishments written by Cesare Beccaria and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the fourth edition, which contains an additional text attributed to Voltaire. Originally published anonymously in 1764, Dei Delitti e Delle Pene was the first systematic study of the principles of crime and punishment. Infused with the spirit of the Enlightenment, its advocacy of crime prevention and the abolition of torture and capital punishment marked a significant advance in criminological thought, which had changed little since the Middle Ages. It had a profound influence on the development of criminal law in Europe and the United States.
Download or read book Execution written by Simon Webb and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial hanging is regarded by many as being the quintessentially British execution. However, many other methods of capital punishment have been used in this country; ranging from burning, beheading and shooting to crushing and boiling to death. Execution: A History of Capital Punishment in Britain explores these types of execution in detail. Readers may be surprised to learn that a means of mechanical decapitation, the Halifax Gibbet, was being used in England five hundred years before the guillotine was invented. Boiling to death was a prescribed means of execution in this country during the Tudor period. From the public death by starvation of those gibbeted alive, to the burning of women for petit treason, this book examines some of the most gruesome passages of British history. This carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to those interested in the history of British executions.
Download or read book Crime And Punishment written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few words about Dostoevsky himself may help the English reader to understand his work. Dostoevsky was the son of a doctor. His parents were very hard-working and deeply religious people, but so poor that they lived with their five children in only two rooms. The father and mother spent their evenings in reading aloud to their children, generally from books of a serious character. Though always sickly and delicate Dostoevsky came out third in the final examination of the Petersburg school of Engineering. There he had already begun his first work, “Poor Folk.” This story was published by the poet Nekrassov in his review and was received with acclamations. The shy, unknown youth found himself instantly something of a celebrity. A brilliant and successful career seemed to open before him, but those hopes were soon dashed. In 1849 he was arrested.

Download or read book Blame and Punish written by Bruce Carlson and published by Bruce Carlson, LLC. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is constantly changing and we never know how tomorrow will be different from today. There are many things we can prepare for in life and some we can't. It’s the ones we can’t that make us understand how fragile we are as humans. Who would have thought, in our time of technology superiority and medical wonderment, we would shut down our world to deal with a virus from COVID-19? Why did we shut down our world? What were we afraid of? Getting a little sick? Getting a lot sick? Dying? AHA! DYING! IS IT DYING? ARE WE AFRAID OF DYING? SERIOUSLY? If our lives are so valuable to us, then why do we allow ourselves to be killed so easily? We can live one of two ways: We can lock ourselves in or let ourselves out. We may be able to protect ourselves more from dying if we lock ourselves in but if we let ourselves out, welcome to your world! In case you don’t recognize it, yours is the world where crime runs rampant, murder is an everyday thing, and there’s a pretty good chance you, a loved one, or a friend of yours is going to be hurt by another human being (who is someone’s child) and you will live with the pain of having been hurt by them for the rest of your life . . . and the persons responsible for your pain will never get punished! We need to stop our future from ending by going down the path it is. We need to stop building ourselves wrong! This book can help us start stopping! There are nearly 7.5 billion people on earth. It is estimated there are over 4,000 religions and it is believed people speak about 6,500 languages. Yet there is no religion anywhere in the civilized world saying a person cannot kill us or our children. There is no government saying the right person will be held responsible for stealing from us or our family. There is no law of any land saying that a person is not allowed to make a mockery of, tease, bother, insult, lie about, embarrass, or in any way destroy another human being! Each of us has the right – unrestricted – to do anything evil, hateful, harmful, and without justification to any other person on our planet without recourse! How is that? Because parents do something wrong if their children do something wrong! And that means if their children EVER do something wrong: ANY time, ANY place!! 1+1 should not equal 3 . . . unless the 3 is a good 3! Blame and Punish helps us understand what, and why, we need to begin believing . . . and fixing! For 300,000 years we've been doing this wrong! It's time to make sure we can live our lives without them ending prematurely so let's Blame and Punish right!

Download or read book The Right to Be Punished written by Gabriel Hallevy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does an offender have the right to be punished? "The right to be punished" may sound like an oxymoron, but it is not necessarily so. With the emergence of modern criminal law, the offender gained the right to be punished by rational criminal law rather than being lynched by an angry mob. The present-day offender may have the right to be punished by doctrinal sentencing rather than being subjected to verdicts based on vague, unclear, and uncertain principles. In modern criminal law, the imposition of criminal liability follows accurate and strict rules, whereas there are no similar rules for the imposition of punishment. The process of sentencing is vague and obscure, as are the considerations used for the imposition of punishments. The objective of the present book is to propose a comprehensive, general, and legally sophisticated theory of modern doctrinal sentencing. The challenges of such a legal theory are plenty and complex. In addition to increasing clarity and certainty, modern doctrinal sentencing must deal with modern types of delinquency (e.g. organized crime, recidivism, corporate offenders, high-tech offenses, etc.) and modern principles of criminal law. Modern doctrinal sentencing must serve to ensure optimal sentencing.
Download or read book That s No Way to Run a Country written by Bob Myers and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical look at India today and the challenges it faces. We take a pessimistic viewpoint of India’s future—one shared by many leading thinkers wiser than ourselves. We see India’s weaknesses as being far too deep-rooted, and intertwined, to allow of easy solution. To make this point, this excerpt from the book examines three areas in modern India which exhibit serious dysfunction. We take no particular pleasure in reciting all these problems; we present them as a way to demonstrate clearly the existence of the dysfunction and its nature. We enumerate specific examples of dysfunction in each area in detail, and discuss the reasons for the dysfunction and the prospects, or lack thereof, for dealing with it.
