He then uses this tool to analyze police violence that occurred in Toronto, Canada and New York City, over a fifteen-year period.

Based on a comprehensive study of three counties in Texas, this work examines the idea of differential handling of minority youth offenders.

The findings suggest that minorities are represented in the juvenile justice system in greater numbers than their majority offender counterparts due to their greater involvement in criminal...

Self-Defense and Battered Women Who Kill: A New Framework
ISBN: 9780275967116 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Battering relationships often escalate to a point where the battered woman commits homicide. When such homicides occur, attention is usually focused on the final violent encounter; however, Ogle and Jacobs argue, while that act is the last homicidal encounter, it is not the only one. This important study argues that the battering relationship is properly understood as a long-term homicidal process that, if played out to the point that contrition dissipates, is very likely to result in the death of one of the parties. In that context, Ogle and Jacobs posit a social interaction... Battering relationships often escalate to a point where the battered woman commits homicide.
