Download or read book Gangs and Minorities in Singapore written by Narayanan Ganapathy and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a unique ethnographic study of a racially exclusive Malay Muslim gang, Omega, which has its roots in Singapore’s prisons and controls much of the illicit drug trade in the state. Similar to indigenous peoples elsewhere, Singapore Malays are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system and can respond to structural marginalization and colonization through gang involvement. In demonstrating that gang membership can be an adaptive strategy for minority groups, this book promotes a more inclusive and restorative justice model for people with repeat convictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luther Holmes is content. Not happy with his life, but content enough to keep moving forward. Every since the mass endangerment of dragonkind, he'd been paired with a mate who was... well, nice enough. What they felt for each other wasn't love, but love wasn't frowned upon in this new world. He at least expected his alpha to care enough to keep him safe. However, the omega finds out just how wrong he is when he's shipped off to the district's breeding facility. Existing for the sole intent of perpetuating the existence of their people at any cost, the breeding facility is just short of a death sentence. Perhaps death would even be kinder. Luther expects the remainder of his life to be sheer misery. Then, he meets the mysterious Sidney Stark. Sidney is unlike any alpha Luther has encountered before, and that's not a bad thing by any means. The last thing he expects, however, is the whirlwind he finds himself wrapped up in at the alpha's side.The last thing he expects is to fall in love. As he quickly finds out, however, nothing goes as planned in this new world order. Absolutely nothing.

Download or read book A Culture of Fear written by Lmft Dominguez and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Culture of Fear takes readers inside the largest child protective services agency in the country, Los Angeles County's Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS). Julian J. Dominguez and Melinda Murphy, current and former DCFS employees, respectively, expose some of the most serious deficiencies of the agency. They detail systemic core issues that include a lack of integrity in DCFS court report writing, and describe how reunification of families is marginalized or set aside and eclipsed by other priorities, including personal opinions, departmental positions, personality conflicts, prejudices/biases, and "cover your ass at all costs." The authors shine a light on the struggles of social workers in this agency, where values can stray far, far, from the publicly proclaimed mission, which is supposed to protect children and reunify families. This book is very unique by all measures, and is meant to serve as a starting point, not a solution or finish line. It will hopefully evoke meaningful dialogue resulting in reform and needed change.

Download or read book Applying Nonideal Theory to Bioethics written by Elizabeth Victor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new essays exploring concepts and applications of nonideal theory in bioethics. Nonideal theory refers to an analytic approach to moral and political philosophy (especially in relation to justice), according to which we should not assume that there will be perfect compliance with principles, that there will be favorable circumstances for just institutions and right action, or that reasoners are capable of being impartial. Nonideal theory takes the world as it actually is, in all of its imperfections. Bioethicists have called for greater attention to how nonideal theory can serve as a guide in the messy realities they face daily. Although many bioethicists implicitly assume nonideal theory in their work, there is the need for more explicit engagement with this theoretical outlook. A nonideal approach to bioethics would start by examining the sociopolitical realities of healthcare and the embeddedness of moral actors in those realities. How are bioethicists to navigate systemic injustices when completing research, giving guidance for patient care, and contributing to medical and public health policies? When there are no good options and when moral agents are enmeshed in their sociopolitical viewpoints, how should moral theorizing proceed? What do bioethical issues and principles look like from the perspective of historically marginalized persons? These are just a few of the questions that motivate nonideal theory within bioethics. This book begins in Part I with an overview of the foundational tenets of nonideal theory, what nonideal theory can offer bioethics, and why it may be preferable to ideal theory in addressing moral dilemmas in the clinic and beyond. In Part II, authors discuss applications of nonideal theory in many areas of bioethics, including reflections on environmental harms, racism and minority health, healthcare injustices during incarceration and detention, and other vulnerabilities experienced by patients from clinical and public health perspectives. The chapters within each section demonstrate the breadth in scope that nonideal theory encompasses, bringing together diverse theorists and approaches into one collection.

Download or read book Prison Nation written by Paul Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison Nation is a distant dispatch from a foreign and forbidden place--the world of America's prisons. Written by prisoners, social critics and luminaries of investigative reporting, Prison Nation testifies to the current state of America's prisoners' living conditions and political concerns. These concerns are not normally the concerns of most Americans, but they should be. From substandard medical care the inadequacy of resources for public defenders to the death penalty, the issues covered in this volume grow more urgent every day. Articles by outstanding writers such as Mumia Abu-Jamal, Noam Chomsky, Mark Dow, Judy Green, Tracy Huling and Christian Parenti chronicle the injustices of prison privatization, class and race in the justice system, our quixotic drug war, the rarely discussed prison AIDS crisis and a judicial system that rewards mostly those with significant resources or the desire to name names. Correctional facilities have become a profitable growth industry, for companies like Wackenhut that run them and companies like Boeing that use cheap prison labor. With fascinating narratives, shocking tales and small stories of hope, Prison Nation paints a picture of a world many Americans know little or nothing about.

Neither alpha nor omega is searching for a mate, but on a fateful night when Quill is returning from an engagement, and Kit is desperate for funds, the pair meet.

But Kit has a price on his head, and Quill cannot leave home. Both are torn between wanting to be together and needing to stay apart. But the alpha cannot keep running forever because the past is about to catch up to him. Is there a noose with his name on it?

Trapped on a futuristic Earth, Ethan, Ashley, Toni, and Jack must battle earthquakes, giant rats, and a ruling superhuman race of Omegas, in order to stay alive. And failure is not an option, as the teens might be Earth’s only hope to return to the haven it once was. The plan? Dodge the Omegas and the quakes—and the huge rodents—long enough to make it back to the time machine that got them here in the first place. If the gang can make it back to the past, they can create the kind of future on Earth where they—and others like them—might actually want to live. Their mission has one pretty major complication. The time machine is located in the Omegas’ headquarters, and the only way to get to it is to step right into the hands of the enemy.

Book excerpt: To unmask a CIA mole, John Wells must resume his old undercover identity as an al Qaeda jihadi—and hope he can survive it—in this cutting-edge novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Alex Berenson. It is the most dangerous mission of John Wells’s career... Evidence is mounting that someone high up in the CIA is doing the unthinkable—passing messages to ISIS, alerting them to planned operations. Finding out the mole’s identity without alerting him, however, will be very hard, and to accomplish it, Wells will have to do something he thought he’d left behind forever. He will have to reassume his former identity as an al Qaeda jihadi, get captured, and go undercover to befriend an ISIS prisoner in a secret Bulgarian prison. Many years before, Wells was the only American agent ever to penetrate al Qaeda, but times have changed drastically. The terrorist organizations have multiplied: gotten bigger, crueler, more ambitious and powerful. Wells knows it may well be his death sentence. But there is no one else.
