A Life Spared
A Life Spared By: John K. Lanphier A LIFE SPARED is Jackson Landry’s account of a journey he was destined to take. The story occurs in 1972 Mankato, Minnesota, where Jackson discovers the town that he was forced to leave has changed. Jackson dreams of a permanent return but knows he cannot have it. His visit is complicated by reconnecting with a former foster family, old friends, and a girl he once believed could never have feelings for him. He must reconcile his love of the town and its people, all so he can return to his home in Duluth, Minnesota, so he might live a happier life. When Jackson discovers terrible things about his past, his journey takes a dramatic turn, and he must face even more obstacles. A Life Spared illustrates a teenager’s resiliency, and his struggles to overcome all that could psychologically destroy him.
Inequality, Crime and Public Policy (Routledge Revivals)
First published in 1979, Inequality, Crime, and Public Policy integrates and interprets the vast corpus of existing research on social class, slums, and crime, and presents its own findings on these matters. It explores two major questions. First, do policies designed to redistribute wealth and power within capitalist societies have effects upon crime? Second, do policies created to overcome the residential segregation of social classes have effects on crime? The book provides a brilliantly comprehensive and systematic review of the empirical evidence to support or refute the classic theories of Engles, Bonger, Merton, Cloward and Ohlin, Cohen, Miller, Shaw and McKay, amongst many others. Braithwaite confronts these theories with evidence of the extent and nature of white collar crime, and a consideration of the way law enhancement and law enforcement might serve class interest.
Crime, Shame and Reintegration
Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.
