Download or read book The Fast and The Furious Drivers Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society written by Helen Wells and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-03-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fast and The Furious: Drivers, Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society presents a sociological and criminological perspective critical to understanding the driver's role at the centre of road safety interventions. Such an approach is, it is argued, as crucial to an understanding of attempts to reduce road crashes, deaths and injuries as approaching such questions from an engineering or educational perspective. The book offers an explanation for the continued debate about one road safety intervention - the speed camera - by situating that debate within contemporary literature about the 'risk society' (Beck, 1992) and more broadly understood experiences of risk faced on a daily basis by drivers. Rather than a focus on risk as something that can be objectively assessed, measured and managed separately from the social context in which it is encountered, it suggests that 'risk' is something that permeates this particular debate from every angle. The book achieves its aims by utilising sociological and criminological perspectives to investigate issues such as: - the social context in which it is possible for drivers to reject official scientific expertise about crash causation and camera effectiveness - the self-defined 'respectability' of the population being problematised and its juxtaposition with a 'proper' police focus on 'real criminals' - the reconceptualisation of law-breaking as risk-taking rather than inherently 'wrong' behaviour and its consequences for the enforcement of laws based on risk assessment - the experience of being controlled by technology and of receiving what is essentially 'automated justice'. These and other issues are explored and suggested as illuminating of both the real concerns underpinning this debate and potentially instructive for future attempts to control risky behaviour both within and beyond a road safety context.

Download or read book I Had to Drive I Was Too Drunk to Walk written by Mark Mann and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had to drive, I was too drunk to walk is a compilation of 101 of the funniest, most bizarre excuses given to our nations police officers by the notorious violator. These excuses are true and documented in the records of numerous police, sheriff and state patrol entities. The author collected these unique excuses over a period of 11 years. Some came from personal experiences as an officer and some were passed on by colleagues from across the country. This book is not only entertaining, but it is also an educational journey for the reader as the author has rated the violators excuses. The risk ratings include Low, Moderate, High and Step out of the Car. The risk rating pertains to the probability of arrest or citation a person earns by using the related excuse. An excuse followed by a Step out of the Car rating usually guarantees the driver a trip to the slammer (probably not a good excuse to use). Some of these excuses actually worked and the author wants you to know why. Its amazing how the stress of being under blue lights, badges, and lots of leather affects us humans. This is your chance to take a quick peek into the mind of a traffic cop. How does that mind work? How do the police decide when to write a ticket? What makes up the best chances to get out of a ticket? These questions and more are answered in I had to drive, I was too drunk to walk!

Download or read book A First Year Course in Criminal Law written by Daniel B. Yeager and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The approach of A First-Year Course in Criminal Law: Trials, Appeals, Theories, Third Edition focuses students on preparing to discuss a single case per lecture. The author’s philosophy is “Teach one case a day and do it well.” To help students understand the big picture as well as the details, the organization strives for unification rather than departmentalization. Rather than treat crimes and defenses as “tubs on their own bottoms,” the defenses within the crimes are presented. In other words, the book brings out that crime occurs only in the absence of fully or partially successful exculpatory pleas. Although homicide is the crime that organizes the book, the elements and scope of other crimes are presented within the context of the law of homicide. Comprehension of assault, burglary, kidnapping, mayhem, robbery, and rape is crucial to the cases used to present the law of felony murder. Those crimes are analyzed in the cases, questions, and notes sufficiently to provide students with competency in the grammar of those crimes. New to the Third Edition: More patient explication of chapter introductions and sub-sections Reorganization of questions and notes to improve flow and avoid unintended redundancies Improved internal cross-references Increased emphasis on the function of mental illness in the role of fear in homicide cases Enhanced searchable citations Elaborated index Accounts for intervening changes in the law
