ISBN: 9780814742730 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nowhere in the world has organized crime infiltrated the labor movement as effectively as in the United States. Yet the government, the AFL-CIO, and the civil liberties community all but ignored the situation for most of the twentieth century. Since 1975, however, the FBI, Department of Justice, and the federal judiciary have relentlessly battled against labor racketeering, even in some of the nation's most powerful unions. Mobsters, Unions, and Feds is the first book to document organized crime's exploitation of organized labor and the massive federal cleanup...

Hate Crimes: Criminal Law and Identity Politics
ISBN: 9780195114485 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the early 1980s, a new category of crime appeared in the criminal law lexicon. In response to concerted advocacy-group lobbying, Congress and many state legislatures passed a wave of "hate crime" laws requiring the collection of statistics on, and enhancing the punishment for, crimes motivated by certain prejudices. This book places the evolution of the hate crime concept in socio-legal perspective. James B. Jacobs and Kimberly Potter adopt a skeptical if not critical stance, maintaining that legal definitions of hate crime are riddled with ambiguity and subjectivity. No matter how hate...

Detached America: Building Houses in Postwar Suburbia
ISBN: 9780813937618 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the quarter century between 1945 and 1970, Americans crafted a new manner of living that shaped and reshaped how residential builders designed and marketed millions of detached single-family suburban houses. The modest two- and three-bedroom houses built immediately following the war gave way to larger and more sophisticated houses shaped by casual living, which stressed a family's easy sociability and material comfort and were a major element in the cohesion of a greatly expanded middle class. These dwellings became the basic building blocks of explosive suburban growth during the...

Busting the Mob: The United States V. Cosa Nostra
ISBN: 9780814742303 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since Prohibition, the Mafia has captivated the media and, indeed, the American imagination. From Al Capone to John Gotti, organized crime bosses have achieved notoriety as anti- heroes in popular culture. In practice, organized crime grew strong and wealthy by supplying illicit goods and services and by obtaining control over labor unions and key industries. Despite, or perhaps because of, its power and high profile, Cosa Nostra faced little opposition from law enforcement. Yet, in the last 15 years, the very foundations of the mob have been shaken, its bosses imprisoned, its... Since Prohibition, the Mafia has captivated the media and, indeed, the American imagination.

Can Gun Control Work?
ISBN: 9780195176582 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Few schisms in American life run as deep or as wide as the divide between gun rights and gun control advocates. Awash in sound and symbol, the gun regulation debate has largely been defined by forceful rhetoric rather than substantive action. Politicians shroud themselves in talk of individual rights or public safety while lobbyists on both sides make doom-and-gloom pronouncements on the consequences of potential shifts in the status quo. In America today there are between 250 and 300 million firearms in private hands, amounting to one weapon for every American. Two in five American homes...
