This book is the first comparative law study of collateral consequences of criminal conviction in all federally recognized Indian tribes in the lower 48 U.S. states, and the mechanisms for restoring civil rights in tribal law.Surveying the constitutions, codes, and ordinances of tribal jurisdictions reveals a broad range of consequences - the impact of which has not been comprehensively, and critically, examined. Like state and federal jurisdictions, tribal law attaches thousands of legal disabilities to tribal offices, business licenses and permits, social services, and civil rights for persons with criminal convictions. This is especially true in economically important industries such as gaming and resource extraction; additionally, rapidly changing areas such as marijuana regulation and sex offender registries expand the scope still further. This book catalogues restoration of rights procedures in tribal law, to include pardons, expungements, and record sealing. Collateral consequences have proliferated in tribal law because of the limitations of tribal criminal jurisdiction, including over non-tribal members. However, tribal collateral consequences risk contributing to overcriminalization and social exclusion for persons with previous criminal convictions, especially as Native Americans are already disproportionately impacted by the U.S. criminal justice system.This book will appeal to legal academics, scholars and practitioners working in tribal criminal law, as well as to others with interests in Indigenous legal issues.

Travel narratives and historical works shaped the perception of Muslims and the East in the Victorian and post-Victorian periods. Analyzing the discourses on Muslims which originated in the European Middle Ages, the first part of the book discusses the troubled legacy of the encounters between the East and the West and locates the nineteenth-century texts concerning the Saracens and their lands in the liminal space between history and fiction. Drawing on the nineteenth-century models, the second part of the book looks at fictional and non-fictional works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century which re-established the "Oriental obsession," stimulating dread and resentment, and even more strongly setting the Civilized West against the Barbaric East. Here medieval metaphorical enemies of Mankind - the World, the Flesh and the Devil - reappear in different contexts: the world of immigration, of white women desiring Muslim men, and the present-day "freedom fighters."
Conceived of as a dialogue with the work of poet and literary scholar Stephanos Stephanides, the book offers critical perspectives on timely questions such as identity, home, belonging, memory, translation and transculturality, reintroducing thus the crosscurrents between the poetic, the cultural and the political.
Show Me Justice tracks the life and career of the late civil-rights advocate and pioneer Alvin Lee Sykes, who used his self-taught legal knowledge to reopen the dormant murder case of Emmett Till. He was also tenacious in his investigation of other unsolved murder cases of African Americans from the civil-rights era.Typically, the people Sykes represented were as poor as he was-"poor as a church mouse," to quote former United States senator Tom Coburn, who worked with Alvin on the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act. In this book's foreword, Ronnique Hawkins, co-producer of The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till and founder of The ALM and Learn My History foundations, writes: "From jazz singer Steve Harvey to the monumental case of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till, Alvin championed for victims like they were family."Sykes was born to a fourteen-year-old girl and placed by relatives in the care of another woman who worked as a domestic and a beautician. She recognized his strong curiosity about the world around him and stretched her meager budget to supply books and musical instruments. She mortgaged her home to pay the bills to treat his epilepsy and other childhood illnesses.As a young teenager, he spent time at Boys Town in Nebraska, but his formal education never extended beyond the eighth grade. Instead, as he says, his secondary and higher education took place in public libraries, often among shelves of law books.In Sykes's hometown of Kansas City, and nationwide, he remains a legend among the downtrodden whom he helped and also among the powerful who admired his efforts. He marshaled his facts, framed his arguments persuasively, and acted patiently and resolutely. Always, his goal was justice. Typically, he reached that goal.
O século XX foi marcado pela facilitação de circulação de bens, capitais e pessoas entre países. A integração regional desenvolvida a partir dos blocos de integração regional como União Europeia e Mercosul acabaram por desenvolver economicamente os países que deles fazem parte, havendo ainda, na União Europeia um avanço grande no bloco com a instauração da moeda única. Toda essa facilitação de circulação a partir da relativização das fronteiras acabou também por trazer alguns efeitos nefastos, como o desenvolvimento da criminalidade transnacional e o deslocamento de bens, valores e pessoas ligados aos crimes, o que faz surgir a necessidade de desenvolvimento e aprimoramento dos meios de cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal com a finalidade de evitar ao máximo a impunidade e a máxima de que o crime não deve compensar.

The middle of the night is for many things-binging a show, playing your favorite game, crying out the hurt, even writing the insomnia away. Like most things, Slowburn was born in the middle of the night, inspired by both the joy of the media Lee loves and the joy of discovering love for themself. These poems are for those whose doubts haunt their every step, for the people whose emotions feel too big or too small. Most importantly, this prose is for those who don't feel like they fit in at all. Ama Lee manages to walk readers through a year in their life, inspired by a mix of real events and fandom, showing how much a year can really change. This is a story of love and loss, but more importantly, it's a love story above all else-a Slowburn.
"This book focuses on xenophobia-motivated illegal activities in Russia, government policies for counteracting extremism (that is, various direct, ideologically motivated threats to state and public security), and abuses that systematically arise in the implementation of these policies. The work is based on the annual reports by SOVA Center for Information and Analysis that focus on the years 2014 to 2020. This particular time frame was chosen because it was these dates that marked substantial changes in counter-extremism policy within Russia. The year 2014 was the beginning of Russia's intervention in the Ukraine crisis, which in many respects served as a turning point in domestic policy as well. The endpoint of 2020, when a large package of amendments to the Constitution were approved by nationwide referendum, also marked a watershed in domestic policy. The book closes with an Epilogue that summarizes more recent trends in law enforcement that have become evident since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war"--
One of the Greatest Poems in American Literature Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was considered by many to be one of the most important American poets of all time. He had a profound influence on all those who came after him. "Song of Myself", a portion of Whitman's monumental poetry collection "Leaves of Grass", is one of his most beloved poems. It was through this moving piece that Whitman first made himself known to the world. One of the most acclaimed of all American poems, it is written in Whitman's signature free verse style, without a regular form, meter, or rhythm. His lines have a mesmerizing chant-like quality, as he sought to make poetry more appealing. Few poems are as fun to read aloud as this one. Considered to be the core of his poetic vision, this poem is an optimistic and inspirational look at the world in 1855. It is exhilarating, epic, and fresh in its brilliant and fascinating diction and wordplay as it tries to capture the unique meaning of words of the day, while also embracing the rapidly evolving vocabularies of the sciences and the streets. Far ahead of its time, it was considered by many social conservatives to be scandalous and obscene for its depiction of sexuality and desire, while at the same time, critics hailed the poem as a modern masterpiece. This first version of "Song of Myself" is far superior to the later versions and will delight readers with the playfulness of its diction as it glorifies the self, body, and soul."I am large, I contain multitudes,"

The Science of Gaining Compliance provides readers with an examination of key compliance-gaining techniques with the goal of making sense of their form, effects, mediators, and moderators. Readers learn how compliance-gaining differs from other forms of social influence, such as persuasion, because it takes place in the active communication context of interpersonal encounters. The text emphasizes how compliance-gaining techniques don't rely on applying pressure and also focus on changing behavior, rendering them a unique form of interpersonal communication. Opening chapters introduce the concept of compliance-gaining and investigate multimessage techniques, including foot-in-the-door, door-in-the-face, and temptation techniques such as lowballing, bait-and-switch, and the lure. Later chapters present a set of single-message techniques, including pregiving, instilling guilt, direct requests, and confusion strategies. The final chapter summarizes each of the techniques as well as their similarities and differences. The Science of Gaining Compliance is an exceptional text for courses and programs in communication and social influence. Franklin J. Boster (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is an internationally recognized expert among scholars and researchers of social influence, persuasion, and communication research. He is professor emeritus in the Department of Communication at Michigan State University. Christopher J. Carpenter (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is a professor in the Department of Communication at Western Illinois University. His research focuses on social influence and close relationships in online and offline contexts via computer-mediated and face-to-face channels. Michael R. Kotowski (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is an associate professor in the School of Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research interests include developing and testing social influence theory. Allison Z. Shaw (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is the director of student success and retention for the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University. She works closely with students, faculty, and staff to advocate for and provide guidance on policy and procedure related to improving student success outcomes.
The eighth edition of Interpersonal Communication continues the tradition of excellence established by this theory-driven text. Its unique learning model, which emphasizes communication competence, stands at the forefront of the discipline. The goal of this text is to make students aware of the impact of communication on their lives and that interpersonal communication has real significance. Comprising 13 chapters, the book is divided into four sections: Introductory Perspectives; Interpretive and Message Competence; Process Competence; and Relational and Cultural Contexts. The authors present basic theories and principles that can be used to analyze and understand human interaction, providing examples to show students how these principles play out in actual interaction. Helpful Interdisciplinary Connections boxes throughout focus on unusual applications of communication principles, demonstrating the connections between Communication and other fields such as anthropology, neuroscience, history, psychology, and popular culture. Key updates to this edition include the introduction of an interpersonal neurobiology perspective on interpersonal communication; new ways of understanding emotional communication; greater incorporation of social media examples and research; more research on the "dark side" of interpersonal communication; updated research and theory in every chapter overall; and an expanded chapter on cultural influences on communication and relationships. Designed to help students become more competent communicators, this edition combines the best of what made the text a success in previous editions with the latest scholarship in the field.

An in-depth look at some of the newest issues in psychology and how they can shape our lives, at home and at work - from AI and eco-psychology, to the great resignation, Zoom fatigue, and the psychology of social media. Psychologists have always shone a torch, and often a spotlight, into many dark corners of the human mind. They study everything, from art preferences to altruism, coaching to criminality, jokes and humour to justice and honesty. But in our hyper-connected, post-pandemic world, new issues are emerging that are less understood, and which can be unsettling for people who are trying to get to grips with the changes that are happening around them. The language of psychology can offer clear descriptions and explanations for all sort of phenomena, including many of these more modern conditions. Ultimately, knowing more about how these conditions manifest themselves and how they can be treated, can help people to feel happier and better able to identify and realise their full potential. Many of them relate specifically to our work lives (Zoom fatigue and hybrid working, for example), allowing for a reassessment of the pressures faced at work and how to identify and pursue a better work/life balance.Written as a follow-up to the highly successful Psychology 101, Adrian Furnham takes a closer look at 50 of the emerging concepts in modern psychology, and what exactly they mean for us in terms of both our personal and professional lives.
Copyright is everywhere. Your smartphone incorporates thousands of items of intellectual property. Someone owns the reproduction rights to photographs of your dining table. At this very moment, battles are raging over copyright in the output of artificial intelligence programs. Not only books but wallpaper, computer programs and cuddly toys are now deemed to be intellectual properties - making copyright a labyrinthine construction of laws covering almost all products of human creativity.Copyright has its roots in eighteenth-century London, where it was first established to limit printers' control of books. Principled arguments against copyright arose from the start and nearly abolished it in the nineteenth century. But a handful of little-noticed changes in the late twentieth century concentrated ownership of immaterial goods into very few hands.Who Owns This Sentence? is an often-humorous and always-enlightening cultural, legal, and global history of the idea that intangible things can be owned, and makes a persuasive case for seeing copyright as an engine of inequality in the twenty-first century.
