The National Council for Civil Liberties and the policing of interwar politics
Issues around the policing of public order and political expression are as topical today as in the past, and are likely to remain so in the future. Janet Clark explores the origins of the National Council for Civil Liberties (the precursor to Liberty) that emerged in 1934 in protest at the policing of political extremes. The book deals with police attempts to discredit the NCCL and the use of intelligence to perpetuate a view of the organisation as a front for the Communist Party. It also examines the state and police responses to this organised criticism of police powers. This book is essential reading for students and lecturers studying British social history, the development of civil liberties and of policing in Britain, as well as anyone interested in this enduring topic. Included is a foreword by Clive Emsley, Emeritus Professor in History at the Open University, and widely regarded as the doyen of police history.

Women, Elections, & Representation
The first women representatives in the United States were elected in 1894 when Colorado votes sent three women to the state legislature. Now, a century later, women almost everywhere are the majority of voters but a distinct minority of elected officials. This discrepancy is a puzzle for those who thought democratic institutions would incorporate newly enfranchised women, and a problem for those working to expand democratic representation. Darcy, Welch, and Clark examine women candidates and candidacies in the United States and several other democratic nations. Their careful analysis reveals that male voters and political elites are not the barriers to women's election that common wisdom sug...
Oral History and Delinquency
From Henry Mayhew's classic study of Victorian slums to Studs Terkel's presentations of ordinary people in modern America, oral history has been used to call attention to social conditions. By analyzing the nature and circumstances of the production of such histories of delinquency, James Bennett argues that oral history is a rhetorical device, consciously chosen as such, and is to be understood in terms of its persuasive powers and aims. Bennett shows how oral or life histories of juvenile delinquents have been crucial in communicating the human traits of offenders within their social context, to attract interest in resources for programs to prevent delinquency. Although life history helped to establish the discipline of sociology, Bennett suggests concepts for understanding oral histories generated in many fields.

The Prayer That Makes a Difference
OMA VAN GELDEREN: A WOMAN OF FAITH WHO UNDERSTOOD THAT GOD ANSWERS PRAYER One of the greatest regrets we will have when we get to heaven will be when we discover all that God would have done. Either we did not ask, or we failed to ask according to His will, and therefore, we never received. Now in its revised edition, this small inspirational gift book truly moves us to embrace a prayer life based upon God's Word. As an unassuming woman grew to walk by faith and not by sight, Oma Van Gelderen, came to understand the witness of the Holy Spirit as a fact of knowledge and not merely a feeling. Her modest story encourages all who desire to be intercessors that God is ready to answer; but his will is not automatic. His promises must be obtained by faith, and prayer expresses that faith. In addition to gems from Oma's own prayer life, the book includes a precious principle: "Three Connected Truths Concerning Prayer" by her grandson and evangelist, John Van Gelderen. No wonder Lynn Erickson Valle, of the National Christian Examiner called The Prayer That Makes a Difference a "little book that amounts to a very large treasure."
