Download or read book Experiencing Politics written by John E. McDonough and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-11-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John E. McDonough affords a rare glimpse into the practice of state politics in this insider's account of the fascinating interface between political science and real-life politics. A member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for thirteen years and a skilled storyteller, McDonough eloquently weaves together stories of politics and policy with engaging theoretical models in a way that illuminates both the theory and the practice. By providing a link between scholarship and the world of experience, he communicates much about the essence of representative democracy. In the process, he demonstrates how politics extend beyond the public sphere into many aspects of life involving diverse values and interests. McDonough describes the nature of conflict, the role of interests, agenda setting, the nature and pace of change, the use of language, and more. Accessible, insightful, and original, his stories touch on a broad range of issues—including health care politics, campaigns, and elections; a street gang called the X-men; the death penalty; campaign finance reform, and tenants versus landlords. To the author, politics is everywhere and political dynamics are universal. While the setting for this book is one legislature, the lessons and insights are intended for everyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the People, Against the Tide is part topical memoir, part handbook for concerned citizens thinking about getting involved in the political process, but intimidated by practically everything in our modern American political process. This first-hand account of the reality of holding elected office demystifies the legislative process and the realities of modern political life. Kathleen Teahan, a Massachusetts State Legislator from 1997-2007, pulls back the curtain on the challenges of serving in government. With stories and specific examples from her ten years as a state representative, Teahan offers the inspiration and the steps concerned citizens can take to speak up, use the power of their vote, volunteer in campaigns, and run for office. Read below, what two former Massachusetts governors, Michael Dukakis and Deval Patrick, say about For the People, Against the Tide. "What do state legislators do? In fact, if they are public servants like Kathy Teahan, they do a lot-seven days a week. Yes, they legislate, but they never stop working in their districts in countless ways. This book and Kathy Teahan tell you how and why-as critical links between citizens and their governments at every level. And she does it in a way that helps us understand just how important they are in bringing state and local governments directly to the people they serve." Michael S. Dukakis, Governor of Massachusetts (1975-1979; 1983-1991), 1988 Democratic Party Presidential Nominee "As a persistent legislator, and a careful listener, Kathy Teahan brought her faith in our civic values and in people to our state, influencing jaundiced veteran politicians and wide-eyed newcomers alike, and gave voice to the voiceless. Her memoir reminds us of the power of her optimism." Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts (2007-2017)

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
