Reflective questions and case studies are peppered throughout the book to engage and immerse the reader in the lived realities of immigrants, refugees, non-status and racialized persons. The multiplicity of their stories reveals how deeply their lives are interwoven in government laws, policies, and organizational practices in Canada.

Exact Space-Times in Einstein's General Relativity
Einstein's theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learnt about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealised examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein's equations with a particular emphasis on what they mean, both geometrically and physically. Concepts such as big bang and big crunch-types of singularities, different kinds of horizons and gravitational waves, are described in the context of the particular space-times in which they naturally arise. These notions are initially introduced using the most simple and symmetric cases. Various important coordinate forms of each solution are presented, thus enabling the global structure of the corresponding space-time and its other properties to be analysed. The book is an invaluable resource both for graduate students and academic researchers working in gravitational physics.
Rooftop Societies
A "rooftop society" is based on socio-cultural and political contradictions, the historical rivalry and antagonism between existing components of society. Apart from antagonism between citizens and the state, political power struggles, the rivalry between modernism and traditional forces; the presence of redundant parallel institutions and political power organizations are important characteristics that must be recognized. This book delves into greater detail in assessing the roots and characteristics of Middle Eastern countries, which are called "rooftop societies". Here people, throughout history have been forced to live a paradoxical life, where their true identities remain hidden, out of fear, and they struggle to resist repressive regimes, injustice, exclusion, and human rights abuses.
Adult Corrections in Canada, Second Edition
Adult Corrections in Canada is designed to meet the needs of introductory courses in criminology, criminal justice, and police foundations. Written by leading educators and practitioners, inside you will fi nd a comprehensive and time sensitive overview of adult correction that traces the historical roots of Canadian corrections to its current expression. Like all areas of the criminal justice system, corrections is constantly evolving and is infl uenced by economic, political, and social events. The authors contextualize these elements with key research and challenge us to examine the pros and cons of some of the classic debates in corrections, such as the use of custody versus community al...
