What should we do with teenagers who commit crimes? In this book, two leading scholars in law and adolescent development argue that juvenile justice should be grounded in the best available psychological science, which shows that adolescence is a distinctive state of cognitive and emotional development. Although adolescents are not children, they are also not fully responsible adults.

In the criminal justice system, people are cast into polar positions on the good-bad axis: good guys and bad guys. Prosecutors, who wield considerable power and influence in the enforcement of our laws, are almost universally cast as good guys. Seldom is there accountability when they are, in fact, not always good. Rethinking Justice: Inside America's Movement for Prosecution Reform introduces a newly minted generation of prosecutors, intent on holding the entire system accountable and changing the way we handle crime in America. Explore how a prevailing philosophy of retributive over restorative justice has contributed to mass incarceration. Discover what happens when civil servants go beyond filling prisons to address systemic injustices. Meet Portsmouth Commonwealth Attorney Stephanie Morales, whose investment in crime prevention, community building, and restorative justice could provide a model for widespread reform. Through stories and insights from district attorneys, legal scholars, and survivors of a perilously flawed system, Rethinking Justice imagines the tough-on-crime D.A. role recast as a "progressive prosecutor." Is this political paradox even possible?

Download Rethinking Poverty Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In Rethinking Poverty, James P. Bailey argues that most contemporary policies aimed at reducing poverty in the United States are flawed because they focus solely on insufficient income. Bailey argues that traditional policies such as minimum wage laws, food stamps, housing subsidies, earned income tax credits, and other forms of cash and non-cash income supports need to be complemented by efforts that enable the poor to save and accumulate assets. Drawing on Michael Sherraden’s work on asset building and scholarship by Melvin Oliver, Thomas Shapiro, and Dalton Conley on asset discrimination, Bailey presents us with a novel and promising way forward to combat persistent and morally unacceptable poverty in the United States and around the world. Rethinking Poverty makes use of a significant body of Catholic social teachings in its argument for an asset development strategy to reduce poverty. These Catholic teachings include, among others, principles of human dignity, the social nature of the person, the common good, and the preferential option for the poor. These principles and the related social analyses have not yet been brought to bear on the idea of asset-building for the poor by those working within the Catholic social justice tradition. This book redresses this shortcoming, and further, claims that a Catholic moral argument for asset-building for the poor can be complemented and enriched by Martha Nussbaum’s “capabilities approach.” This book will affect current debates and practical ways to reduce poverty, as well as the future direction of Catholic social teaching.

Download Rethinking Transitional Gender Justice Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book draws together established and emerging scholars from sociology, law, history, political science and education to examine the global and local issues in the pursuit of gender justice in post-conflict settings. This examination is especially important given the disappointing progress made to date in spite of concerted efforts over the last two decades. With contributions from both academics and practitioners working at national and international levels, this work integrates theory and practice, examining both global problems and highly contextual case studies including Kenya, Somalia, Peru, Afghanistan and DRC. The contributors aim to provide a comprehensive and compelling argument for the need to fundamentally rethink global approaches to gender justice.
