Gendered Justice in the American West
In this shocking study, Anne M. Butler shows that the distinct gender disadvantages already faced by women within western society erupted into intense physical and mental violence when they became prisoners in male penitentiaries. Drawing on prison records and the words of the women themselves, Gendered Justice in the American West places the injustices women prisoners endured in the context of the structures of male authority and female powerlessness that pervaded all of American society. Butler's poignant cross-cultural account explores how nineteenth-century criminologists constructed the "criminal woman"; how the women's age, race, class, and gender influenced their court proceedings; and what kinds of violence women inmates encountered. She also examines the prisoners' diet, illnesses, and experiences with pregnancy and child-bearing, as well as their survival strategies.

International Human Rights Monitoring Mechanisms
This revised and updated collection is intended to serve as a thematic textbook on the institutions and procedures devoted to the national implementation of human rights and to the international monitoring of State performance. Albeit not exhaustive, the coverage extends to most of the monitoring instances available at intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations: complaints, fact-finding and investigative procedures, State reporting obligations, good offices actions, dialogue functions, human rights education, dissemination of human rights information, letter campaigns, and technical co-operation.

It demonstrates that there is a important demand for literature with a focus on human rights monitoring and follow-up activities.

Jumping the Gun
One of twelve new titles for 2001, in the Spirals range, one of the most popular and successful series for reluctant readers. Motivation: High interest plots and storylines-with themes that do not patronise or talkdown to reluctant readers-encourage re-reading and further reading. Appeal: The task of reading is made more attractive by eye catching cover designs, paperback style binding, and the absence of related activities and exercises. Achivement: A sence of accomplishment is felt by reluctant readers as they complete whole texts with short, but substantial, chapters and without the aid of illustration. Progression: A controlled reading age of 7 and 8 and an accessible page layout iwth, clear, well-spaced type enable lower achivers to improve their reading at their own pace.
