Stop Trying to Fix Policing - Tony Gaskew - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Stop Trying to Fix Policing - Tony Gaskew - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Stop Trying to Fix Policing: Lessons Learned from the Front Lines of Black Liberation, Tony Gaskew guides readers through the phenomena of police abolition, using the cultural lens of the Black radical tradition. The author weaves an electrifying combination of critical race theory, spiritual inheritance, decolonization, self-determination, and armed resistance, into a critical autoethnographic journey that illuminates the rituals of revolution required for dismantling the institution of American policing. Stop Trying to Fix Policing is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the rhetoric of police reform, to the next step: contributing to the formation of a world without policing.

The Transparency Fix - Mark Fenster - Bog - Stanford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Transparency Fix - Mark Fenster - Bog - Stanford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Is the government too secret or not secret enough? Why is there simultaneously too much government secrecy and a seemingly endless procession of government leaks? The Transparency Fix asserts that we incorrectly assume that government information can be controlled. The same impulse that drives transparency movements also drives secrecy advocates. They all hold the mistaken belief that government information can either be released or kept secure on command. The Transparency Fix argues for a reformation in our assumptions about secrecy and transparency. The world did not end because Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, and Edward Snowden released classified information. But nor was there a significant political change. "Transparency" has become a buzzword, while secrecy is anathema. Using a variety of real-life examples to examine how government information actually flows, Mark Fenster describes how the legal regime's tenuous control over state information belies both the promise and peril of transparency. He challenges us to confront the implausibility of controlling government information and shows us how the contemporary obsession surrounding transparency and secrecy cannot radically change a state that is defined by so much more than information.

US Supreme Court Doctrine in the State High Courts - Michael P. Fix - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

US Supreme Court Doctrine in the State High Courts - Michael P. Fix - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

US Supreme Court Doctrine in the State High Courts challenges theoretical and empirical accounts about how state high courts use US Supreme Court doctrine and precedent. Michael Fix and Benjamin Kassow argue that theories that do not account for the full range of ways in which state high courts can act are, by definition, incomplete. Examining three important precedents – Atkins v. Virginia, Lemon v. Kurtzman, and DC v. Heller/McDonald v. Chicago – Fix and Kassow find that state high courts commonly ignore Supreme Court precedent for reasons of political ideology, path dependence, and fact patterns in cases that may be of varying similarity to those found in relevant US Supreme Court doctrine. This work, which provides an important addition to the scholarly literature on the impact of Supreme Court decisions, should be read by anyone interested in law and politics or traditional approaches to the study of legal decision-making.

The Privacy Fix - Richard Warner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Privacy Fix - Richard Warner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Online surveillance of our behavior by private companies is on the increase, particularly through the Internet of Things and the increasing use of algorithmic decision-making. This troubling trend undermines privacy and increasingly threatens our ability to control how information about us is shared and used. Written by a computer scientist and a legal scholar, The Privacy Fix proposes a set of evidence-based, practical solutions that will help solve this problem. Requiring no technical or legal expertise, the book explains complicated concepts in clear, straightforward language. Bridging the gap between computer scientists, economists, lawyers, and public policy makers, this book provides theoretically and practically sound public policy guidance about how to preserve privacy in the onslaught of surveillance. It emphasizes the need to make tradeoffs among the complex concerns that arise, and it outlines a practical norm-creation process to do so.

Education's Missing Ingredient - Victoria M. Young - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Education's Missing Ingredient - Victoria M. Young - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The cry has risen to "fix our public schools." Repeatedly, it has fallen upon the ears of those without the ability to listen or the understanding necessary to develop the vision for a responsible plan to fix schools. A new opportunity presents itself now. It is time to take on the big and supposedly complicated problems of our education system. Education''s Missing Ingredient clearly describes the issues—from the dangers associated with a lack of classroom discipline to the failings of the people to recognize and defend their schools from an overstepping federal government. This book clarifies the answers to our education system''s woes and our republic''s flickering success. It offers a formula for achieving that ever-elusive goal of equal opportunity in American education. As you begin to understand educations'' missing ingredient, the simplicity of the solution will amaze you. That path of understanding leads to the type of education system the United States has thus far failed to produce.

Seed Inoculation, Coating and Precision Pelleting - John Lloyd - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Seed Inoculation, Coating and Precision Pelleting - John Lloyd - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Seed inoculation is the practice of effectively introducing a high number of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium) on the surface of legume seeds prior to planting. The bacteria penetrates the root, resulting in the formation of root nodules that fix nitrogen from the air, and make it readily available to the plant. This book describes the need, the development and the use of rhizobia, and how this process may be reproduced successfully around the world, especially in underdeveloped agricultural countries.

Post-Truth and the Mediation of Reality - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Post-Truth and the Mediation of Reality - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Our contemporary moment is preoccupied with arbitrating ''reality''. With the spectre of buzzwords like ''fake news'' and ''post-truth'' we find a scramble to locate or fix some sort of universal ''real'' beneath what are positioned as ''fake'' articulations. To engage with this crisis, this collection argues for the importance of a new conjuncture in communication and cultural studies of media. Building on Hall''s understanding of ''conjuncture'' as a way of grasping moments within hegemonic struggle, the essays suggest that the current moment requires a revitalization of the concept of conjuncture.

Affordable Housing and Urban Redevelopment in the United States - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Bringing together the thoughts of leading academics and practitioners, Affordable Housing and Urban Redevelopment in the United States explores the lessons that can be drawn from the U.S. experience in providing affordable housing. This unique volume reviews recent developments in the United States regarding the provision of low-cost housing--in particular, the changing role of the federal government, greater responsibility of state and local government, increasing joint venture projects, innovative finance mechanisms, and the operation of the nonprofit sector. Contributors explore success stories and then identify common themes while highlighting salient questions. The volume′s conclusion weaves together the strands developed in the individual case studies, examines criteria that define success, and considers opportunities for developing more effective policies and programs. Contributors follow a common format that makes this important volume easy to read and unique for practitioners and academics in urban studies, political science, and urban planning. "America′s housing crisis is getting worse, but most politicians, journalists, and business leaders pay little attention to housing policy or take cheap shots at existing housing programs. This book not only helps explain why housing policy is not high on the national agenda but also offers some hope for new directions. These original, thoughtful articles help explain the fix we′re in and how to fix it. This book should be on the shelf of every housing activist, urban planner, and policy specialist."

Computational Approaches to Archaeological Spaces - - Bog - Left Coast Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Computational Approaches to Archaeological Spaces - - Bog - Left Coast Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

This volume of original chapters written by experts in the field offers a snapshot of how historical built spaces, past cultural landscapes, and archaeological distributions are currently being explored through computational social science. It focuses on the continuing importance of spatial and spatio-temporal pattern recognition in the archaeological record, considers more wholly model-based approaches that fix ideas and build theory, and addresses those applications where situated human experience and perception are a core interest. Reflecting the changes in computational technology over the past decade, the authors bring in examples from historic and prehistoric sites in Europe, Asia, and the Americas to demonstrate the variety of applications available to the contemporary researcher.
