"Arguably, the complete package. A very good overview of topics and additional learning opportunities together with research articles all in one place. This book is a ‘one-stop shop.’" —Stuart Agnew, University of Suffolk Criminological Theory: A Text/Reader, Third Edition helps students understand criminological theory, with each authored section of the text enhanced by empirical research articles that put theory into context. Key criminological theories are introduced and followed by articles that show how criminological theory can be applied to current policies, challenges, and issues, making it easier for students to connect theory and application. New to the Third Edition: Updated journal articles introduce students to important topics, such as media consumption and support for capital punishment, gender differences in delinquency, bias and police stops, and the effectiveness of reintegrative shaming and restorative justice.A new section dedicated entirely to feminist perspectives introduces students to feminist models of crime and underscores the importance of examining research related to female offending. A stronger global view integrated throughout the book increases students’ exposure to criminological research and theory across nations and continents. Several of the new readings are written by authors or use samples from outside the United States, including South Africa, Brazil, Canada, Korea, and more. New case studies examine offender motives to help students apply the theories discussed to interesting and memorable examples.Policy is now integrated into each section, allowing students to see the practical policy implications of each theory. Coverage of critical topics has been expanded throughout to introduce students to important issues, such as the influence of employment on criminal behavior, the success of school programs in reducing delinquent behavior, and federal sentencing guidelines in regard to crack versus powder cocaine.Statistics, graphs, and tables have all been updated to demonstrate the most recent trends in criminology.

Economic Rationality

Economic Rationality

Stephen G. Engelmann

JOHN WILEY AND SONS LTD
2022
sidottu
Economics used to be called political economy, and the loss of the “political” tracks the ascendance of the idea of rational choice within the discipline. Where does this idea of economic rationality – choosing to maximize benefits and minimize costs – come from? What are the consequences of its rise? In this new book, Stephen Engelmann assesses these questions through a consideration of the often-hidden links between choice and government, ranging from the Benthamic utilitarianism that inspired modern economics to the contemporary economic psychologists trying to nudge everyone to choose more rationally. Multiple global crises are exposing how deficient economic rationality is as a political theory, since a focus on choice turns actors away from relations in the common. Political economy once targeted aristocratic rule – heralding a politics and ethics of egalitarian self-command and spurring democratic reform – but economics allows domination and forecloses alternatives to it. This accessible volume will be of interest to students and scholars of politics and economics, and to general readers concerned about the various ways that psychology and management have infiltrated our politics.

When a young man breaks a pact with the Spirit, he unleashes a wrath on a small town where women are compelled to destroy the men. Reviewed By Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite 5 out of 5 stars.Every once in a while, a book surprises me. I mean really surprises me. It's difficult to do because I grew up in my mother's library and I read a lot of books. In The Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy, I was stunned. I was expecting a nice pleasant read at best. What I got was a totally satisfying novel that may be destined to become an American classic. It's that good, that satisfying, and that different. I began to think it was more than it appeared to be when I got my first look at Banks Blackhorse, a part Tinglit, part Sioux Native American boy, who really wants to be white. Not just any kind of white but rich white. That is his dream, and he has a plan. I knew I was in the hands of a potential master though, as I read about the children and teenagers in this tale. Tricia Powers is a character that people will remember.I can't say enough good things about The Night the Sky Fell. The writing is superb. The plot is something that Stephen King might come up with. The characters are simply unforgettable and they keep the story racing along. The Night the Sky Fell is very much character driven and with a little more time and experience, we may have the next Stephen King in Stephen G. Levy. If he can keep doing this consistently. You don't want to miss this one. A great supernatural suspense tale. Made in America. Made in Alaska.-----Reviewed By Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite 5 out of 5 starsThe Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy is the perfect book for fans of horror and the supernatural, a story woven with a spell and one that features very supernatural and compelling characters like the Great Spirit and the Monarch Raven. The Great Spirit isn't something or someone to play around with; it inspires fear; it is vindictive. What happens when a young man breaks a pact with this avenging, ruthless spirit? The result is the horror that rocks a small town.The story starts powerfully and the reader gets hooked right away, but it doesn't end there. The tension builds up pretty quickly, and one finds oneself immersed a world where emotions are intense, where uncertainty and fear are mounting. The plot is woven with skill, the work of a great imagination. The writing is crisp, highly descriptive, with interesting and plot-driven dialogues. Readers will love to follow the characters who are so real they seem to remind readers of the things they care most about. Stephen G. Levy has skillfully created suspense throughout the story and this keeps the reader looking forward in anticipation to what the end would look like.The Night the Sky Fell is a supernatural story about what happens when loyalties are broken with a vengeful spirit. Warning, though: This is the kind of book that will make you wake up in the middle of the night, soaked in sweat, because it can create horrible nightmares. The read is delightful and the ending satisfying. A perfect treat for fans of horror. This one will have your nerves rattled.---Reviewed By Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite 5 out of 5 starsThe Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy is a tale of extraordinary beauty that will appeal to anyone who enjoys gritty tales of horror.Stephen G. Levy combines elements of horror, paranormal, and fiction to create a story that is as absorbing as it is entertaining. But it should be noted that this is not a book for ordinary entertainment. It is the kind of story that will set hearts beating faster and the reader will undoubtedly experience a wave of conflicting emotions. The Night the Sky Fell is a story with great characters, a powerful plot, and a tension that won't leave any reader indifferent.

Growing Up Brooklyn

Growing Up Brooklyn

Stephen G. Noe

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016

Steve had everything a young teenager could want; friends, family, sports, and a growing confidence in himself and his world. What he didn't have was a girlfriend. Then one day Cinderella walked down 69th Street and things would never be the same. This nostalgic recollection takes the reader on a humorous journey to Brooklyn of the late 70's; the characters, and charm of growing up in a neighborhood where children played on the streets, looked up to the greatest generation, yet still had hopes and dreams to find their own way. Dealings with crazy friends and older bullies, partaking in street tough games, experimenting in some minor vices, running from neighborhood grouches, surviving city wide blackouts, dishing out rank outs & put downs, and reading daily Newspaper stories of a deprived serial killer dubbed "The Son of Sam", were all part of that crazy time. Set off on a roller coaster journey that starts in the molten hot New York summer of 1977, and ends in the winter of 1978. Many magical things happened in Steve's Bensonhurst during that brief 10 month period, but although we tend to reminisce about the good, there is always a flip side to every story. Sure there is euphoria in Steve's pursuit and courtship of his first true love, but their meeting was eventually shattered by the dark hidden secrets of Cinderella's family. Son of Sam might have seemed separate and distant from these characters, but this fairytale has its own ugly Mr. Hyde. And life's monsters seem to be dead set against "Happily Ever After's". Can love of life, youthful innocence, and love and trust for friends and family overcome abusive hate? Only Growing up Brooklyn can tell.
