"Year of the Passover" ranges far and wide across the brutal landscape of the eastern Roman Empire of 2,000 years ago, searching for clues in determining the year of the Passover of Jesus' crucifixion. A central character in the crucifixion is discovered to be Syrian General Lucius Vitellius, who was in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover preparing for war with Arabia.

Fires of Rome: Jesus and the Early Christians in the Roman Empire
ISBN: 9780982082812 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Fires of Rome" is the companion work to "Year of the Passover" and covers the early Christian era from the crucifixion of Jesus in A.D. 36 to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and beyond to the end of the revolt in A.D. 73. New Testament accounts of the crucifixion and early Christian events are examined against secular history written by accepted ancient Roman historians. "Fires of Rome" makes the case for a conspiracy against the Christians by the Jerusalem Second Temple High Priesthood which ultimately led to the persecutions in Rome, outwardly incited by Emperor Nero in A.D. 64....

Iraq and the Crimes of Aggressive War: The Legal Cynicism of Criminal Militarism
ISBN: 9781107104532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib to unnecessary military attacks on civilians, this book is an account of the violations of international criminal law committed during the United States invasion of Iraq. Taking stock of the entire war, it uniquely documents the overestimation of the successes and underestimation of the failings of the Surge and Awakening policies. The authors show how an initial cynical framing of the American war led to the creation of a new Shia-dominated Iraq state, which in turn provoked powerful feelings of legal cynicism among Iraqis, especially the Sunni....

Justice in the Balkans: Prosecuting War Crimes in the Hague Tribunal
ISBN: 9780226312286 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Called a fig leaf for inaction by many at its inception, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has surprised its critics by growing from an unfunded U.N. Security Council resolution to an institution with more than 1,000 employees and a $100 million annual budget. With Slobodan Milosevic now on trial and more than forty fellow indictees currently detained, the success of the Hague tribunal has forced many to reconsider the prospects of international justice.

This field study features intensive personal interviews of more than four hundred young people who have left home and school and are living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver.

Crime and Disrepute
ISBN: 9780803990395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the context of the unique crime problems of the United States, John Hagan advances a new sociology of crime and disrepute that focuses on the criminal costs of social inequality. He connects the diversion of funding away from distressed communities in the USA to increased violence and lack of social mobility for disadvantaged groups which in turn result in the development of 'deviance service centers' and 'ethnic vice industries'. Hagan further shows the important link between 'crime in the streets' and 'crime in the suites' and the difference between the two in eluding punishment.

Gender in Practice: Study of Lawyers' Lives
ISBN: 9780195092820 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the last thirty years, the number of lawyers in the United States and Canada has more than tripled, and today as many women as men are entering legal practice. The sudden, dramatic increase of women in the profession would seem to signify a new era of equality in the legal profession. However, stereotypes about women's abilities to balance responsibilities at work and home hamper their upward mobility in this male-dominated field. Battling sexual discrimination, women in law grapple with long-held assumptions about parenting, inferring that women eventually abandon their careers in order...

Who Are the Criminals?: The Politics of Crime Policy from the Age of Roosevelt to the Age of Reagan
ISBN: 9780691156156 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How did the United States go from being a country that tries to rehabilitate street criminals and prevent white-collar crime to one that harshly punishes common lawbreakers while at the same time encouraging corporate crime through a massive deregulation of business? Why do street criminals get stiff prison sentences, a practice that has led to the disaster of mass incarceration, while white-collar criminals, who arguably harm more people, get slaps on the wrist--if they are prosecuted at all? In Who Are the Criminals?, one of America's leading criminologists provides new answers to...

Structural Criminology
ISBN: 9780813513751 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on a variety of criminal activities, the author applies his structural criminology to the relationships of power which operate in a range of institutional spheres. He looks at the relationship between class and criminality, showing the inadequacy of a simple causal link and discussing the prevalence of "white collar" crime. Hagan sees other significant structures of power in the relative influence of corporate actors - for example large commercial establishments - who bring charges against individuals, and he analyzes both the legal outcome of such conflicts and the symbolic aspects...

Northern Passage: American Vietnam War Resisters in Canada
ISBN: 9780674004719 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. More than 50,000 draft-age American men and women migrated to Canada during the Vietnam War, the largest political exodus from the United States since the American Revolution. How are we to understand this migration three decades later? Was their action simply a marginal, highly individualized spin-off of the American antiwar movement, or did it have its own lasting collective meaning? John Hagan, himself a member of the exodus, searched declassified government files, consulted previously unopened resistance organization archives and contemporary oral histories, and interviewed American war...
