Criminal Behavior
Crime Statistics suggest that Americans are not a notably law-abiding people. With some 13 million felonies reported every year, it is not surprising that few topics engage public attention and imagination more compellingly than the dynamics of criminal behavior. Volume and ubiquity alone might suggest the psychology of criminal behavior is well understood and there exists an integrated body of explanatory theory and empirical evidence. But in fact only fragmentary and incomplete accounts have thus far appeared. Criminal Behavior is virtually unique in providing a comprehensive psychological paradigm that fits across variant species of crime, while meeting the requirements of science and the...

Rehabilitating Criminal Sexual Psychopaths
More than half the states in this country have legislation on sex offenders that distinguishes between those whose offense is incidental to other offenses (âfelonyâ sexual offenders), and those who engage in ârepetitive, habitual, or compulsiveâ sex offenses (âcriminal sexual psychopathsâ). This second category is the subject of this book. The legislation specifies that criminal sexual psychopaths must be treated, not punished. But treatment is problematic; the literature on various approaches finds uncertainty about the effectiveness of treatment. Pallone asks the difficult question of whether there is a prospective right to effective treatment, and notes the p...

The Sex Offenses and their Treatments
This book is the only on that lists 115 crimes, offenses, deviances and 62 infamous criminals that can all be blamed on the sex urge and its underlying chemistry. The book also enumerates and briefly explains more than a hundred different treatments that have been used to treat these problems. The efficacy of these treatments has been found to vary greatly. Some of them have even proven to be counterproductive and the best is seldom used. This book is one of the very few available that dwell extensively with the powerful sex urge in its evil results: crime, disease, aggression, jealousy, lost spirituality, etc. in as much detail. Most that is written about sex deals with its good aspects: love, ecstasy, children, family, etc but we need the information in this book to come to the reality of the power of these urges for evil.
When Texas Prison Scams Religion
When Texas Prison Scams Religion exposes corruption in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, especially in the abuse of religion. In many ways, this book is a literature review of 1,800-plus works that defends freedom of conscience in prison while exposing the unconstitutionality of the seminary program that “buys faith with favor” from prisoners. The state veritably ordains the prisoner a “Field Minister” that represents the offices of the Governor, TDCJ Director, and wardens throughout the prison. Therein, TDCJ lies about neutrality in a program all about Christian missions and lies again in falsely certifying elementary Bible students as counselors. Why is the director sponsor...
