Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

Recalibrating Juvenile Detention chronicles the lessons learned from the 2007 to 2015 landmark US District Court-ordered reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC) in Illinois following years of litigation by the ACLU about egregious and unconstitutional conditions of confinement. In addition to explaining the implications of the Court’s actions the book includes an analysis of a major evaluation research report by the University of Chicago Crime Lab and explains for scholars practitioners administrators policymakers and advocates how and why this particular reform of conditions achieved successful outcomes when others failed. Maintaining that the Chicago Crime Lab findings are the gold standard evidence-based research (EBR) in pretrial detention Roush holds that the observed firsts for juvenile detention may perhaps have the power to transform all custody practices. He shows that the findings validate a new model of institutional reform based on cognitive-behavioral programming (CBT) reveal statistically significant reductions in in-custody violence and recidivism and demonstrate that at least one variation of short-term secure custody can influence positively certain life outcomes for Chicago’s highest-risk and most disadvantaged youth. With the Quarterly Journal of Economics imprimatur and endorsement by the President’s Council of Economic Advisors the book is a reverse engineering of these once-in-a-lifetime events (recidivism reduction and EBR in pretrial detention) that explains the important and transformative implications for the future of juvenile justice practice. The book is essential reading for graduate students in juvenile justice criminology and corrections as well as practitioners judges and policymakers. | Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

This volume originally published in 1990 and now with an updated Preface gives an account of the Allies' last concerted attempt to destroy Russia's nascent Bolshevik regime. At the start it looked like a threat that should be taken seriously as the Reds' enemies both native and foreign combined with trained mercenaries under the leadership of a Tsarist admiral. But it finished with a firing squad on the ice and a grisly end for the ill-fated Admiral Kolchak. With him died the last hope for the old order in Russia and the future of the new Soviet state was secure. The skill of the author's narrative lies in his mastery both of the detail and of the wider implications of these epic events. | The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

Circulation and Governance of Asian Medicine

Circulation and Governance of Asian Medicine

This book unpacks the organized sets of practices that govern contemporary Asian medicine from production of medications in the lab to their circulation within circuits and networks of all kinds and examines the plurality of actors involved in such governance. Chapters analyze the process of industrialization and commercialization of Asian medicine and the ways in which the expansion of the market in Asian medicines has contributed to the inscription of products within a large system of governance greatly dominated by global actors and the biomedical hegemony. At the same time the contributors argue that local actors continue to play a major role in reshaping the regulations and their implementation thus complexifying the trajectory of the remedies and their natures. Examining in particular the plurality of actors involved in governance and circulation and the converging or conflicting logics actors follow in regard to negotiations and tensions that arise the book brings a unique multi-layered contribution to the study of governance and circulation of Asian medicines offering further proof of their fluidity and resilience. Filling a significant gap in the market by addressing circulation and governance of Asian medicines in Asian countries including Bangladesh Myanmar and Singapore this book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of Asian studies Asian culture and society global health Asian medicine and medical anthropology.

Geoengineering our Climate? Ethics Politics and Governance

Geoengineering our Climate? Ethics Politics and Governance

If the detrimental impacts of human-induced climate change continue to mount technologies for geoengineering our climate – i. e. deliberate modifying of the Earth's climate system at a large scale – are likely to receive ever greater attention from countries and societies worldwide. Geoengineering technologies could have profound ramifications for our societies and yet agreeing on an international governance framework in which even serious research into these planetary-altering technologies can take place presents an immense international political challenge. In this important book a diverse collection of internationally respected scientists philosophers legal scholars policymakers and civil society representatives examine and reflect upon the global geoengineering debate they have helped shape. Opening with essays examining the historic origins of contemporary geoengineering ideas the book goes on to explore varying perspectives from across the first decade of this global discourse since 2006. These essays methodically cover: the practical and ethical dilemmas geoengineering poses; the evolving geoengineering research agenda; the challenges geoengineering technologies present to current international legal and political frameworks; and differing perceptions of geoengineering from around the world. The book concludes with a series of forward looking essays some drawing lessons from precedents for governing other global issues others proposing how geoengineering technologies might be governed if/as they begin to emerge from the lab into the real world. This book is an indispensable resource for scientists activists policymakers and political figures aiming to engage in the emerging debate about geoengineering our climate. | Geoengineering our Climate?

Climate Security The Role of Knowledge and Scientific Information in the Making of a Nexus

Climate Security The Role of Knowledge and Scientific Information in the Making of a Nexus

This book presents an empirical study of the role of knowledge in the making of the climate-security nexus. Climate change might give the Soviet Union a competitive advantage in the Cold War. Extreme droughts contributed to wars in Darfur Syria or Yemen. Melting sea ice creates geopolitical risks. Russia’s climate-destroying hydrocarbons enabled its invasion of Ukraine. These are just some of the many ways in which climate change and conflicts have been linked into a climate-security nexus. In this innovative book Matti Goldberg considers how such connections are constructed and asks to what extent they are driven by evidence and science. Goldberg describes the tools used to present the wars of Darfur and Syria as “climate wars” and considers the fragmented role of the sciences in those presentations as well as the resulting patterns of influence and marginalization of impacted populations. The author also highlights how the international community can better integrate the situations of people at the frontlines of climate change into policymaking and based on an analysis of the dynamic nature of power identifies potential entry points for positive change. This book is a must-read for researchers interested in climate-security links in science-policy interfaces and in the formation of nexuses of issues in international politics. It is also of interest to practitioners working on the climate-security nexus and science-policy interfaces. | Climate Security The Role of Knowledge and Scientific Information in the Making of a Nexus
