The Prison: Policy and Practice
ISBN: 9780226320007 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Despite lethal explosions of violence from within and critical assaults from without, it seems certain that prisons will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. Gordon Hawkins argues that certain key issues which attend the use of imprisonment as a penal method must be dealt with realistically. Beginning with a discussion of the ideology of imprisonment and the principal lines of criticism directed at it, Hawkins examines such issues as the prisonization hypothesis (the theory that prisons serve as a training ground for criminals), the role of the prison guard, work in prisons, and the...

The Honest Politician's Guide to Crime Control
ISBN: 9780226539027 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Norval Morris and Gordon Hawkins's first premise is that our criminal justice system is a moral busybody, unwisely extended beyond its proper role of protecting persons and property. But they go further and systematically cover the amount, costs, causes, and victims of crime: the reduction of violence; the police; corrections; juvenile delinquency; the function of psychiatry in crime control; organized crime; and the uses of criminological research. On each topic precise recommendations are made and carefully defended.

Pornography in a Free Society
ISBN: 9780521406000 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pornography in a Free Society deals with what has been called the "civil war over smut." The past two decades have been high seasons for pornography commissions. They were appointed in the United States in 1968, in Great Britain in 1977, in Canada in 1985, and in the United States again in 1985. In the United States, the report of the first commission was denounced as a pornographer's charter and that of the second as a reflection of the moral militancy of the Reagan counterrevolution. The authors look at the problems of pornography in a broader perspective than that of partisan political...

ISBN: 9780226983547 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Two of the nation's foremost criminal justice scholars present a comprehensive assessment of the factors behind the growth and subsequent overcrowding of American prisons. By critiquing the existing scholarship on prison scale from sociology and history to correctional forecasting and economics, they both reveal that explicit policy changes have had little influence on the increases in imprisonment in recent years and analyze whether it is possible to place limits effectively on prison population.
