Download or read book The Rights of the Defenseless written by Susan J. Pearson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, the American Humane Society was formed as the national organization for animal and child protection. Thirty years later, there were 354 anticruelty organizations chartered in the United States, nearly 200 of which were similarly invested in the welfare of both humans and animals. In The Rights of the Defenseless, Susan J. Pearson seeks to understand the institutional, cultural, legal, and political significance of the perceived bond between these two kinds of helpless creatures, and the attempts made to protect them. Unlike many of today’s humane organizations, those Pearson follows were delegated police powers to make arrests and bring cases of cruelty to animals and children before local magistrates. Those whom they prosecuted were subject to fines, jail time, and the removal of either animal or child from their possession. Pearson explores the limits of and motivation behind this power and argues that while these reformers claimed nothing more than sympathy with the helpless and a desire to protect their rights, they turned “cruelty” into a social problem, stretched government resources, and expanded the state through private associations. The first book to explore these dual organizations and their storied history, The Rights of the Defenseless will appeal broadly to reform-minded historians and social theorists alike.

Download or read book Carnal Society written by Randal R. Chance and published by . This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of his book is to improve the management and operation of the criminal justice systems through public awareness of the dark and corruptive insides of these massive systems. A major goal of his work is to improve the daily treatment of young incarcerated Americans, with the hope of preventing these young people from entering into the adult criminal justice system. Another goal is to improve the training for managers and administrators of these programs so that employees can be better selected, trained, and treated, and so that they can serve as better role models and supervisors for the youth of America. Most criminal misbehavior can be altered and turned in a positive direction, with decent personal treatment and adequate programs for their individual problems. To allow the continued mistreatment of these individuals is to throw away their future and the future of America. Chance has discovered a multitude of problems within these systems through his investigations, inquiries, and handling of thousands of complaints about the sexual abuse, mistreatment, neglect, and exploitation of both the inmates in these systems and the employees who work under unbearable conditions.--Odessa American.

Download or read book Defending Life written by Francis J. Beckwith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending Life is arguably the most comprehensive defense of the pro-life position on abortion - morally, legally, and politically - that has ever been published in an academic monograph. It offers a detailed and critical analysis of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey as well as arguments by those who defend a Rawlsian case for abortion-choice, such as J. J. Thomson. The author defends the substance view of persons as the view with the most explanatory power. The substance view entails that the unborn is a subject of moral rights from conception. While defending this view, the author responds to the arguments of thinkers such as Boonin, Dworkin, Stretton, Ford and Brody. He also critiques Thomson's famous violinist argument and its revisions by Boonin and McDonagh. Defending Life includes chapters critiquing arguments found in popular politics and the controversy over cloning and stem cell research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of love is the story of civilization--the account of the most universal, most irresistible, and most expedient activity of men and women. Love between the sexes has been marked by irrationality, dissimulation, anxiety, shame, frustration, disgust, and suffering. Yet the search for fulfillment through love is not only the basis of our earthly happiness but the summit of our biological destiny. The union of man and woman in ecstasy enables us to realize our ultimate purposes--our immortality and the survival of the species. Although the sex drive is related to our most primitive character, love and the literature created around the subject of love is truly the flower of our civilized achievements.
