Boss: Richard J. Daley Of Chicago

USED BOOK. MAY CONTAIN MARK-UP

By Mike Royko

FROM CHAPTER 1: “The workday begins early. Sometime after seven o'clock a black limousine glides out of the garage of the police station on the corner, moves less than a block, and stops in front of a weathered pink bungalow at 3536 South Lowe Avenue.Policeman Alphonsus Gilhooly, walking in front of the house, nods to the detective at the wheel of the limousine.It's an unlikely house for such a car. A passing stranger might think that a rich man had come back to visit his people in the old neighborhood. It's the kind of sturdy brick house, common to Chicago, that a fireman or printer would buy.Thousands like it were put up by contractors in the 1920s and 1930s from standard blueprints in an architectural style fondly dubbed "carpenter'sdelight." The outside of that pink house is deceiving. The inside is furnished in expensive Colonial-style furniture, the basement paneled in fine wood, and two days a week a woman comes in to help with the cleaning….”

The Dynamics of Aggression INDIVIDUAL, Group, And International Analyses

Edited by Edwin .I Megargee and Jack E. Hokanson

FROM THE PREFACE: Prefaces usually begin by attempting to convince the reader that the topic the book addresses is important or interesting enough for him to invest his time in reading it. Such an approach is unnecessary for this book, because at this point in our history the relevance of research on aggression and its causes si self-evident. Since 1962, the rate of violent crimes per hundred thousand population in the United States, includ- ing murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, has increased 5 percent. As these words are written, the nation is embroiled in a protracted war that has already cost 40,000 American lives and many times that many casualties among the populations of North and South Vietnam; moreover, the national involvement in this war is stimulating additional violence on the domestic scene. While the Vietnamese conflict is a major preoccupation for American citizens, this is only one of several dozen wars that have occurred since the end of World War I. Violence and warfare are the most dramatic and extreme forms of aggression, but the inability of people to resolve their differences amicably is also reflected in the spiralling rate of divorce, strikes, turmoil on our campuses, and in the alienation of many segments of our population from one another.

The Roots of Crime: Selected Papers on Psychoanalysis

USED BOOK. MAY CONGAIN MARK-UP

By Edward Glover

From the Preface: “When the social historian of the future looks back to the first half of the twentieth century with the detachment that comes with the passage of time, it will by then be apparent that amongst the revolutionary changes to be credited to that period, two at least were of vital importance to the development of humanism: the liberation of psychology from thefetters of aconscious rationalism, and the subsequent emancipation of sociology from the more primitive superstitions and moralistic conceptions of crime. It will also be apparent that this twin movement towards a new liberalism owed its impetus to the researches of a late- Victorian scientist, Sigmund Freud, who first uncovered the unconscious roots ofthat uniquely human reaction which goes by the name of 'guilt' and which is responsible for a brood of moralistic concepts, including those of sin, punishment, expiation and the sacrifice of scapegoats.”

NYPD Battles Crime: Innovative Strategies In Policing

By Eli B. Silverman

From the cover: “"In NYPD Battles Crime Eli B. Silverman analyzes the managerial underpinnings of the Giuliani revolution, epitomized, in his view, by the innovative crime-tracking system known as 'Compstat.' Mr. Silverman argues that previous police reforms paved the way for Giuliani's success; his book, however, is of greater interest in showing just how radical a departure the new crime philosophy was. ... [It] is a delight to read about a wildly successful--if, in retrospect, self-evident-idea: that policing is helpless without both data and the means to hold officers accountable for acting on it." -Heather MacDonald, Wall Street Journal

"Silverman has done a masterful job here, combining encyclopedic knowledgeof the politics and history of the city and the NYPD with unprecedented access at every departmental level, a first-rate academician's keen eye and objectivity, and the street smarts and candor of a life-long New Yorker. The result is a volume that should be mandatory reading for all police and public officials, researchers, students of crime and organizations, and concerned citizens. I can't recommend this book too highly." -James J. Fyfe, Professor of Criminal Justice,Temple University

Workers Self Management and Organizational Power in Yugoslavia

Edited by Josip Obradovié and William N. Dunn

From the Preface: In constructing a volumeofcollected contributions to theory and research on workers' self-management in Yugoslavia, the authors' primary aim is to introduce English-speaking audiences to a large and informative body of empirical studies available in Yugoslav languages. We wish at the same time to emphasize the practical interdependence and complementarity of empirical and theoretical studies of participation, industrial democracy, and self-management. In stressing the importance of these contributions to the theory and practice of self-management, both in Yugoslavia and other countries, we eventually chose the concept of organizational power as a means to order, link, and interpret the selections in this volume. We hope we have created a product that is reasonably coherent, problem-specific, and grounded in empirical research.

The Politics of Cruelty

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."

Sex and Supervision: Guarding Male And Female Inmates

By Joycelyn M. Pollock

From Chapter 1: “A cursory glance at correctional literature wil show that cor- rectional officers have only recently drawn the attention of re- searchers. Long ignored in studies of prisoners and prison subcultures, correctional officers are now recognized as integral participants in the prison world. In the past,correctional officers were viewed as one-dimensional cartoon characters, as brutal ignorant louts preying on prisoner victims. They have now been recognized as complex human actors with perceptions, values, and skills worthy of study. In this first chapter we will briefly explore some of the recent research on correctional officers, including research on female correctional officers and their en try into prisons for men.”

We Are The Living Proof... The Justice Model For Corrections

By David Fogel

From the foreword: “A rising tide of criticism challenges the prevailing policies and practices of criminal justice agencies throughout the United States. Public disillusionment and professional cynicism is wide-spread, fueled by the constantly rising crime rates which large, new appropriations of government funds seem unable to curb. These criticisms focus most sharply on the failure of the correctional agencies to reduce recidivism among convicted offenders. The climate of public opinion lends itself most readily to new demands for more repressive measures to increase the punitive and deterrent effect of correctional decisions. Advocates of more punitive sanctions are convinced that only more certain, more visible and more severe sentences of imprisonment for offenders will provide an adequate measure of deterrence and public protection.

By Robert B. Levinson

From the Foreword: “In Unit Management in Prisons and Jails, Robert Levinson describes unit management's humble beginnings at the National Training School ni Washington, D.C., and recounts its rise to becoming a system that revolutionized prison management. Dr. Levinson introduces readers to the concept of unit management and carefully walks them through each step involved with implementing this method.

The Time Game: Two Views Of A Prison

By Anthony J. Manocchio and Jimmy Dunn

From the Preface by Lamar Empey: T”he design and conduct of many, perhaps most, sociological studies depend upon some knowledge of the subjective views of the actors to be investigated. Without it, the investigation must proceed more by assumption than by evidence, more by conjecture than by an informed point of view. To be able to ask relevant questions and to explore key issues. the sociologist must have some prior grasp of the way those issues look to the persons who are to be studied, what they contend with, and why they believe as they do. There is nothing quite so difficult as attempting to gather data on the nature and subiective side of institu- tional patterns and processes without such information.”
