Book The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities

Download or read book The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities written by Julie-Anne Toohey and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities presents a theoretical and practical exploration of the links between social exclusion, cognitively disabled women, and incarceration, and how these intersect to create and perpetuate cycles of disadvantage and reoffending. Based on the lived experiences of cognitively disabled women incarcerated in Australian women's prisons, the book explores their lives pre-prison and in the prison setting, highlighting the presence of social exclusion prior to incarceration, which continues as they navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system (CJS) and the tightly regulated prison environment. Contributions from prison practitioners provide further evidence of the way in which institutional protocols reinforce the social exclusion of this group of women. In addition to formal acknowledgement of the needs of this prison population, the book argues for alternatives to current responses to cognitively disabled women, recommending ongoing interagency and community support that targets not only criminogenic needs, but the all-pervasive issue of social exclusion that characterizes their lives. The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities will be of great interest to students and scholars of penology, criminal justice, criminology, disability studies, forensic psychology, and social work. It should also appeal to practitioners involved in criminal justice, the health sector, community services, disability support agencies, disability advocates, prisoner advocacy, women's studies and women's advocacy, and human rights activism"--

Previously unpublished personal stories, along with over four hundred stunning images and rare artifacts, are presented in this sexy and insightful chronicle of Asian American performers who defied racial and cultural barriers to pursue their showbiz dreams.It was the mid-1930s: Prohibition was repealed and the Great Depression was waning. With a global conflict on the rise, people were out to drink, dine, dance, and see a show to forget their woes--and what a surprise for the world to behold an emerging generation of Chinese American entertainers commanding the stage in their own nightclubs. "Forbidden City, USA: Chinatown Nightclubs, 1936-1970" reveals the sassy, daring, and sometimes heartbreaking memories of the dancers, singers, and producers who lived this story, and it weaves in a fascinating collection of photos, postcards, menus, programs, and yes, even souvenir chopsticks. Together they recreate a forgotten era, treating readers to a dazzling night on the town.

Although the themes and findings of the chapters are relevant across the U.S. Department of Defense, to include all Services, the Joint Staff and defense agencies as well as allied and partner ministries of defense, this book is a case study of warfighting functions in the Naval Services—the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Sam J. Tangredi and George Galdorisi bring together over thirty experts, ranging from former DOD officials and retired flag officers to scientists and active duty junior officers. These contributors present views on a vast spectrum of subjects pertaining to the implementation of AI in modern warfare, including strategy, policy, doctrine, weapons, and ethical concerns.

Book The North Face of Shakespeare

Download or read book The North Face of Shakespeare written by James Stredder and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Face of Shakespeare argues that successful active work arises directly from the extraordinary dramatic power of Shakespeare's writing - from its language and poetry and its use of narrative and character. The book invites teachers and drama practitioners to think of their classroom as a stage, with their students as both actors and audience. It proposes that the text can be presented as drama - whether in quite simple ways sitting at desks or in open space in the classroom or workshop, the text can be spoken and performed by every learner in the room. The aim is for students to take away an engaged and secure understanding of that text to use in their own reading and study.
