Yet we seek it out in virtually all of our media: books, newspapers, television, films, and the theatre. This book confronts this cultural contradiction and asks why street crime is regarded in the trivializing images of cops and robbers that attribute crime to the willful acts of flawed individuals.

Something to Believe in: Politics, Professionalism, and Cause Lawyering
ISBN: 9780804749473 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lawyers in the United States are frequently described as "hired guns," willing to fight for any client and advance any interest. Claiming that their own beliefs are irrelevant to their work, they view lawyering as a technical activity, not a moral or political one. But there are others, those the authors call cause lawyers, who refuse to put aside their own convictions while they do their legal work. This "deviant" strain of lawyering is as significant as it is controversial, both in the legal profession and in the world of politics. It challenges mainstream ideas of what lawyers should do...

Legality and Democracy: Contested Affinities
ISBN: 9780754625803 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 716 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Democracy and the rule of law are commonly represented as complementary and indispensable components of the modern democratic state. Whatever the truth of this formulation, it conceals the competing claims of electoral and legal accountability that are the subject of this volume. Political, legal and social theorists have long debated these contending claims. Recent socio-legal scholarship has shed empirical light on the debate. Accordingly, this volume brings together some of the landmarks of the relevant theory, including the work of such scholars as H.L.A. Hart, Lon L. Fuller and Philip...

The Politics of Rights: Lawyers, Public Policy, and Political Change
ISBN: 9780472030057 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Stuart A. Scheingold's landmark work introduced a new understanding of the contribution of rights to progressive social movements, and thirty years later it still stands as a pioneering and provocative work, bridging political science and sociolegal studies. In the preface to this new edition, the author provides a cogent analysis of the burgeoning scholarship that has been built on the foundations laid in his original volume. A new foreword from Malcolm Feeley of Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law traces the intellectual roots of The Politics of Rights to the classic texts of social...

The Politics of Law and Order: Street Crime and Public Policy
ISBN: 9781610270366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why do politicians run on a law-and-order platform even as crime rates are falling? Why does the public respond disproportionately to law-and-order soundbites and images in the media and on TV shows? At bottom, is crime a fixed reality or a social construction? This book is the foundational and renowned study of how politicians and others use crime rates-and most of all the public perception of street crime, whether or not it is accurate-for their own purposes. Dr. Scheingold also provides a theoretical and historical basis for his views, and compares mainstream theories of crime control, as...
