Download or read book Who Do You Serve Who Do You Protect written by Maya Schenwar and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays and reports examining the reality of police violence against Black and brown communities in America. What is the reality of policing in the United States? Do the police keep anyone safe and secure other than the very wealthy? How do recent police killings of young Black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context of anti-blackness? This collection of reports and essays (the first collaboration between Truthout and Haymarket Books) explores police violence against Black, brown, indigenous, and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures of token accountability and reform measures. It also makes a compelling and provocative argument against calling the police. Contributions cover a broad range of issues including the killing by police of Black men and women, police violence against Latino and indigenous communities, law enforcement’s treatment of pregnant people and those with mental illness, and the impact of racist police violence on parenting. There are also specific stories such as a Detroit police conspiracy to slap murder convictions on young Black men using police informant, and the failure of Chicago’s much-touted Independent Police Review Authority, the body supposedly responsible for investigating police misconduct. The title Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? is no mere provocation: the book also explores alternatives for keeping communities safe. Contributors include William C. Anderson, Candice Bernd, Aaron Cantú, Thandi Chimurenga, Ejeris Dixon, Adam Hudson, Victoria Law, Mike Ludwig, Sarah Macaraeg, and Roberto Rodriguez. Praise for Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? “With heartbreaking, glass-sharp prose, the book catalogs the abuse and destruction of Black, native, and trans bodies. And then, most importantly, it offers real-world solutions.” —Chicago Review of Books “A must-read for anyone seeking to understand American culture in the present day.” —Xica Nation “This brilliant collection of essays, written by activists, journalists, community organizers and survivors of state violence, urgently confronts the criminalization, police violence and anti-Black racism that is plaguing urban communities. It is one of the most important books to emerge about these critical issues: passionately written with a keen eye towards building a world free of the cruelty and violence of the carceral state.” —Beth Richie, author of Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America’s Prison Nation

Download or read book Holy Spirit written by Eulalie Hendricks and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is two thousand years overdue in its telling. Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, God declared a state of war between Satan and the woman and her offspring, therefore, Satan hates women with every fiber of his being (Gen. 3:14, 15, MSG). Since time immemorial, Satan has worked relentlessly to try and steal, kill, and destroy women, trying to steal our knowledge of who we are in Christ Jesus, trying to beat us down and kill us with abuse, and trying to steal from us our dignity, our value, our worth, our identity, and ultimately, our joy (1 Pet. 5:8). For too long, Satan has kept us deceived, demeaned, and defeated, but Jeremiah declares, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (Jer. 33:3). Through Jesus's glorious gospel of grace, God is lifting the veil of darkness that has kept Christians blinded to the truth of who women are in Christ and all that is ours as heirs to His throne of grace. A grace revolution is sweeping our planet, and part of that is the unveiling of women's identity in the Godhead and all that we are in Christ Jesus. Two thousand years ago, at the cross of Calvary, God returned to man His glory, and this book unveils all that that means to us as daughters of the Most High, and it reveals the fullness of who we are as His comforters, helpers, and beautiful shekinahs.

Download or read book Criminal Law written by Markus Dubber and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal Law: A Comparative Approach presents a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the substantive criminal law of two major jurisdictions: the United States and Germany. Presupposing no familiarity with either U.S. or German criminal law, the book will provide criminal law scholars and students with a rich comparative understanding of criminal law's foundations and central doctrines. All foreign-language sources have been translated into English; cases and materials are accompanied by heavily cross-referenced introductions and notes that place them within the framework of each country's criminal law system and highlight issues ripe for comparative analysis. Divided into three parts, the book covers foundational issues - such as constitutional limits on the criminal law - before tackling the major features of the general part of the criminal law and a selection of offences in the special part. Throughout, readers are exposed to alternative approaches to familiar problems in criminal law, and as a result will have a chance to see a given country's criminal law doctrine, on specific issues and in general, from the critical distance of comparative analysis.

Download or read book Protected by Purpose written by Dorinda Walker and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her new book, Protected by Purpose, Dorinda reveals her onerous childhood experiences, triumphs and life lessons to help guide others to go from despair to a life of joy and abundance.Dorinda faced harsh, painful and often unfair circumstances early in her life which seemed too great to overcome. She was born into a dysfunctional family of drug addicted parents with a father who was imprisoned for murder and diagnosed with AIDS early in her life. Her father's side of the family was deeply involved in crime. Her cousin, Beaky was a hit man and a notorious street gangster who worked for a prominent drug lord who was the first felon to be convicted in the state of New Jersey under the RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act).Dorinda's troubled upbringing led to her own struggles with abuse by a step-father, as well as low self-esteem and anti-social behavior, dropping out of high school, becoming a drug dealer, sexual promiscuity with much older men and attempting suicide twice � all before the age of 18.Dorinda's life was spiraling out of control. Then, she had a life-altering run-in with police outside of the projects. While she was pressed against a wall being frisked, a voice in her head said, "You're going to be 18 in two weeks. You're either going to die or go to jail." It was the sign Dorinda needed to take the step to leave her problematic life behind and embrace faith in God. This belief did not stem from a religious upbringing, but from an ingrained knowledge of His existence.Dorinda asked an aunt if she could move into her home in the suburbs. It was her way of distancing herself far from the street life that led to crime, depression and lack of hope.Although her bold decision didn't stop her problems immediately, Dorinda was now in a better position to make positive moves towards improving her life. She worked a 9 to 5 job, married and had three children. Plus, she was able to help her mother recover from a life of prostitution and crack addiction.Dorinda lifted herself professionally as well, starting as a temp at a Fortune 100 company. She stayed, persevered and rose through the ranks to become a top-level corporate executive.
