Community, Crime Control, and Collective Efficacy

Collective efficacy is a neighborhood-level concept in which community members create a sense of agency and assume ownership for the state of their local community. This concept is one of several forms of formal and informal social control that predict the overall functioning of a community. In this book, the authors examine collective efficacy and crime in eight Miami-Dade County, Florida neighborhoods, based on data they collected from across the country and in the Miami-Dade neighborhoods themselves. They discuss findings relevant to the theory of collective efficacy itself, ramifications for its use within communities, and make recommendations for future research and for translating these results into actionable, crime prevention activities.

Security Force Assistance is analyzed, and some specific recommendations designed to improve U.S. performance are provided. While SFA may be a new term, the activities themselves are familiar ones related to how the Department of Defense works to train, advise, and assist foreign partners' security establishments to accomplish common objectives. The United States has demonstrated serious SFA deficiencies in recent years. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has noted, the United States is likely to remain actively and broadly engaged in SFA for many years to come. The need for comprehensive improvement encompasses DoD military and civilian efforts and requires thoughtful integration with broader whole of government approaches.

The Dun Book of Magh Meall: Luminous Memories of the Beginning

'This Book Has No Name.' So begins this strange journey into the ancient roots of Western mythology and languages. The manuscript here translated purports to have been written down by an Irish Druid, Fionn maq Vindos, near the beginning of the second century. If true, it the oldest complete piece of European literature that we possess. The book combines both poetry and prose, to produce a compendium of Celtic (or, perhaps, Indo-European) mythology, told to the author, he assures us, by various important members of the Tuatha D Danann, or the ancient Celtic gods. In this first English translation of Part One of the manuscript, we are introduced to the 'Kalishaki, ' the 'Children of Light, ' who live beyond the regions of space and time in 'Liriline, ' the 'Land of Immensity.' Full of adventure, romance, terror, pathos, and ribald humor, The Dun Book of Magh Meall is a book to be savored by any student of mythology, religion, anthropology, linguistics, Irish literature--or anyone who enjoys a good story.
The Dun Book of Magh Meall, Part Two: The Bold Voyage of Mystery

The Dun Book of Magh Meall, Part One (2011), told of the birth and development of the Children of Light, in the "Land of Immensity." Here, in Part Two, we follow their adventures as they sail over the great Mother Sea, in pursuit of the mystery that lies beyond the horizon. The manuscript of The Dun Book purports to have been written in the second century which, if true, makes it the oldest example of Irish Immram, or 'voyage, ' literature that we possess. It may have served as the prototype for the later immrama; e.g., 'The Voyage of Bran, ' 'The Voyage of M el D in, ' and 'The Voyage of St. Brendan.' Combining both poetry and prose, The Dun Book, Part Two, refines and redefines our understanding of ancient Irish myth and legend. It is a book of transformation. On the surface, it describes the transformation from the idyllic world of Thesidiline, to other realms among the Myriad Worlds. At a deeper level, the book symbolically describes the process of Druidic initiation, or the mystical process of utilizing knowledge, memory, and imagination to bring about druimmne, or 'wisdom'. The Dun Book of Magh Meall is a book to be savored by students of mythology, Celtica, linguistics, anthropology, Irish literature, Druidism, or by anyone with a sense of literary adventure.

A number of recent events in the last decade have renewed interest in Russian discourses on international law. This book evaluates and presents a contemporary analysis of Russian discourses on international law from various perspectives, including sociological, theoretical, political, and philosophical. The aim is to identify how Russia interacts with international law, the reasons behind such interactions, and how such interactions compare with the general practice of international law. It also examines whether legal culture and other phenomena can justify Russia’s interaction in international law.Russian Discourses on International Law explains Russia's interpretation of international law through the lens of both leading western scholars and contemporary western-based Russian scholars. It will be of value to international law scholars looking for a better understanding of Russia’s behavior in international legal relations, law and society, foreign policy, and domestic application of international law. Further, those in fields such as sociology, politics, philosophy, or general graduate students, lawyers, think tanks, government departments, and specialized Russian studies programs will find the book helpful.
