By Joycelyn M. Pollock-Byrne

FROM THE PREFACE: Through the Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Series, students are introduced to important topics that until now have been neglected or inadequately covered and that are relevant to criminal justice, criminology, law, political science, psychology. and sociology. The authors address philosophical and theoretical issues and analyze the most recent rescarch findings and their implications for practice. Consequendy, each volume will stimulate further thirking and debate on the topics it covers, in ad. dition to providing direction for the development and implementation of policy.

The topic of ethics has always been of critical importance to the field of criminal justice and criminology. Judging from recent reports of frequent ethical violations throughout the criminal justice system, this primer on morality, chics, and human behavior could not be more timely. The sensitivity and critical nature of the subject matter makes it secan surprising that greater attention has not been devoted to this topic. Since no similar text is currently available, this work represents the breaking of new ground, for which Joycelyn M. Pollock-Byrne is to be commended.

By Kate Millett

From Amazon: “From one of the most influential figures of the last twenty years―the author of Sexual Politics―comes this brilliant work in which Kate Millet sets out a new theory of politics for our time, a harrowing view of the modern state based on the practice of torture as a method of rule, as conscious policy. It is, in the words of the noted Iraqi dissident Kanan Makiya, "a passionate, heroic effort to fathom the nature of a phenomenon that all too often drains us emotionally and incapacitates us intellectually."
