【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Language and Online Identities The Undercover Policing of Internet Sexual Crime【電子書籍】[ Tim Grant ]

＜p＞Forensic linguistics is at the cutting edge of the undercover policing of child sexual abuse on the open internet and dark web, and language and identity is a fundamental part of this. The authors have drawn on their extensive experience in training undercover officers to develop innovative methods in identifying the creation and performance of online personas, crucial in detecting identity disguise online. This groundbreaking book demonstrates these methods through case studies, whilst also exploring the link between language and identity. By bringing together previously opposed positions in forensic authorship analysis, the book develops a novel theory of linguistic identity, which will resonate not just in forensic authorship research but in sociolinguistics more widely. This unique forensic linguistic project has real-life impact in assisting the police in their investigation of online abusers, and has impact for students and researchers of linguistics, through its contribution to the research of linguistic identities.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission That Changed Our Understanding of Madness - Susannah Cahalan (Grand Central Publishing) 【紙書籍】 9781538715284

タイトル: Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission That Changed Our Understanding of Madness著者: Susannah Cahalan出版社: Grand Central Publishing出版日: 2019年11月05日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Shortlisted for the 2020 Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize Named a Best Book of 2020 by The Guardian * The Telegraph * The Times "One of America's most courageous young journalists" and the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Brain on Fire investigates the shocking mystery behind the dramatic experiment that revolutionized modern medicine in this international bestseller (NPR). Doctors have struggled for centuries to define insanity--how do you diagnose it, how do you treat it, how do you even know what it is? In search of an answer, in the 1970s a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan and seven other people--sane, healthy, well-adjusted members of society--went undercover into asylums around America to test the legitimacy of psychiatry's labels. Forced to remain inside until they'd "proven" themselves sane, all eight emerged with alarming diagnoses and even more troubling stories of their treatment. Rosenhan's watershed study broke open the field of psychiatry, closing down institutions and changing mental health diagnosis forever. But, as Cahalan's explosive new research shows in this real-life detective story, very little in this saga is exactly as it seems. What really happened behind those closed asylum doors?

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Gray Zone Sovereignty, Human Smuggling, and Undercover Police Investigation in Europe【電子書籍】[ Gregory Feldman ]

＜p＞Based on rare, in-depth fieldwork among an undercover police investigative team working in a southern EU maritime state, Gregory Feldman examines how "taking action" against human smuggling rings requires the team to enter the "gray zone", a space where legal and policy prescriptions do not hold. Feldman asks how this seven-member team makes ethical judgments when they secretly investigate smugglers, traffickers, migrants, lawyers, shopkeepers, and many others. He asks readers to consider that gray zones create opportunities both to degrade subjects of investigations and to take unnecessary risks for them. Moving in either direction largely depends upon bureaucratic conditions and team members' willingness to see situations from a variety of perspectives. Feldman explores their personal experiences and daily work in order to crack open wider issues about sovereignty, action, ethics, and, ultimately, ＜em＞being＜/em＞ human. Situated at the intersection of the EU migration apparatus and the global, clandestine networks it identifies as security threats, this book allows Feldman to outline an ethnographically-based theory of sovereign action.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Expunged The Memoirs of an Undercover Police Officer【電子書籍】[ Shaun Flowers ]

＜p＞Synopsis Expunged is a fictionalized story based on the life of Shaun Flowers, who at the age of eighteen found himself jailed for a petty misdemeanor. Until this unfortunate incident, Shaun had ended his secondary education in New Jersey with all the academic requisites and social skills for a promising future career. Rather than allow a damning and out-of-proportion criminal record negate a productive future, as was the case for multitudes of men of color during this period of time, Shaun and his family after a laborious and tortuous journey attained an expungement of his record. After excelling in college with a bachelor's degree in juvenile justice, Shaun pursued a career in criminal justice. In 1986 he became a police officer in Newark, New Jersey, and three months after graduating from the police academy he was selected to go undercover to help stem the onset of the crack cocaine epidemic. He became one of the city's best undercover narcotics officers, buying guns and large amounts of assorted drugs resulting in myriad arrests. In Expunged, the reader, trailing Shaun, witnesses the unglamorous, daunting, and dangerous experiences of an undercover narcotics police officer. In spite of commendations, notoriety, and praise by fellow officers for his "after the fact" role in the criminal justice system, Shaun comes to the realization that drug addiction is a sickness and offenders should not be jailed as harden criminals; instead, drug users should be sent to rehabilitation centers for treatment. Given his experiences on both sides of the fence, Shaun becomes an ardent spokesperson for a more proactive criminal justice reform system. Contemplating what he feels to be one of the first steps in this journey, Shaun begins crafting a more engaging and accessible expungement program.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Anthony Lukas Book Prize * Winner of the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism * Winner of the 2019 RFK Book and Journalism Award * A New York Times Notable Book A ground-breaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America: in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history. In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for $9 an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still. The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny. Private prisons are not incentivized to tend to the health of their inmates, or to feed them well, or to attract and retain a highly-trained prison staff. Though Bauer befriends some of his colleagues and sympathizes with their plight, the chronic dysfunction of their lives only adds to the prison's sense of chaos. To his horror, Bauer finds himself becoming crueler and more aggressive the longer he works in the prison, and he is far from alone. A blistering indictment of the private prison system, and the powerful forces that drive it, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in America.

Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the Civil War.

With a cast of real-life characters including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws you into the war as these daring women lived it.Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy contains 39 black & photos and 3 maps.

タイトル: Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime著者: Ron Stallworth出版社: Flatiron Books出版日: 2018年07月31日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。The extraordinary true story of the black detective who goes undercover to investigate the KKK, the basis for the major motion picture written and directed by Spike Lee, and produced by Jordan Peele. When detective Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department, comes across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth does his job and responds with interest, using his real name while posing as a white man. He figures he'll receive a few brochures in the mail, maybe even a magazine, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his community. A few weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks Ron a question he thought he'd never have to answer, "Would you like to join our cause?" This is 1978, and the KKK is on the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard, David Duke, has made a name for himself, appearing on talk shows, and major magazine interviews preaching a "kinder" Klan that wants nothing more than to preserve a heritage, and to restore a nation to its former glory. Ron answers the caller's question that night with a yes, launching what is surely one of the most audacious, and incredible undercover investigations in history. Ron recruits his partner Chuck to play the "white" Ron Stallworth, while Stallworth himself conducts all subsequent phone conversations. During the months-long investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the military, and even befriends David Duke himself. Black Klansman is an amazing true story that reads like a crime thriller, and a searing portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

＜p＞What is it like to go to jail in the 21st Century? Convict Land: Undercover in America’s Jails is an Orwellian tour of the world’s most celebrated and controversial system by English journalist Alexander Reynolds. The United States is supposed to be the land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but 2.3 million Americans, approximately 1 in every 107 adults, are currently living in a state of captivity. America locks away more of its citizens than any other nation on earth, and the average American, statistically speaking, has a greater chance of losing their freedom than someone living in China, Russia or North Korea. This is an era of mass imprisonment unequaled in modern history. Between September 2004 and October 2009, Reynolds went undercover as a voluntary detainee in several holding facilities across the United States to debunk myths, challenge stereotypes and get the facts. Is life behind bars a case of fight or fuck as films like The Shawshank Redemption and TV shows like Oz, and Orange Is the New Black make out? Putting himself in harm’s way, just what did Reynolds discover as a Brit behind bars in the USA? ? Chronic overcrowding due to sentencing guidelines (“the three strikes law”) and the draconian “war on drugs”. ? Inhumane and degrading treatment of detainees. ? Prisoners driven mad by the living death of solitary confinement. ? A white bourgeois nightmare of unreformed characters -- gang members, rapists and sex offenders. ? An appalling, but unsurprising, racist, sexist and homophobic inmate subculture. ? Sadistic, indifferent guards who use fear of rape as a tool of control. ? Inmates exploited by public officials for political ends. ? Jails functioning as debtors’ prisons in all but name. ? Nonviolent prisoners with drink, drug and mental health problems warehoused in jail and poorly cared for. ? An $80 billion system on the brink, trapped in a costly, self-defeating, cycle of punishment, rehabilitation and overpopulation. America, the land of the free, has become the home of the jailed. ? Despite the high cost to taxpayers and warped economics - twelve months in a New York City jail costs just as much as four years at an Ivy League university - people do not display the same level of scrutiny and skepticism applied to other government spending programs. The privileged, professional classes don’t care about the scale, brutality and moral scandal of the American system, and the subject is cheap fodder for sadistic jokes about rape. Without embellishment or recourse to sensationalism, Reynolds reports on the shortcomings of the system, experiencing brutal regimes and lax ones, meeting fresh fish, recidivists and the people who work in the system. Part of the appeal is Reynolds’ attempts to get into jail without actually breaking the Law (not as easy as you would think). Throughout, Reynolds is a cheerfully neutral observer, giving a first person account of his surroundings and the people that he meets; preparing for the next lock up and wondering if he will get gang raped and/or beaten to a pulp once he gets there. Eye opening, funny and compelling Convict Land is an entertaining and highly unusual piece of investigative non-fiction that reveals what life is really like behind bars in the USA.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Undercover Muslim A Journey into Yemen【電子書籍】[ Theo Padnos ]

＜p＞In December 2009 the US government launched an air strike against the tiny Yemeni village of al-Majalah where al-Qaeda militants were believed to be in hiding. A second attack a week later targeted the prominent religious leader Anwar Awlaki. He escaped unharmed but many villagers were killed. These two strikes were intended to set back al-Qaeda's operations in Yemen but, within 24 hours, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab - a 23-year-old Nigerian man and one of Awlaki's followers - boarded a plane to Detroit with explosives hidden in his clothing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His is not a unique story: at a time when true pluralism remains an aspiration rather than a reality in the West, young men, disillusioned and angry with the spiritually barren, consumerist societies in which they live, travel to Yemen in search of fulfilment. There, in the country's anarchic wilderness, they find what they could not at home: a pure way of life, submissive wives and like-minded brethren. Some, like Abdulmutallab, find something much more dangerous: the conviction to carry out Jihad.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Undercover Muslim＜/em＞, Theo Padnos brilliantly evokes a landscape and journey that few Westerners have experienced. He investigates the radicalisation of these disaffected young men as they move, almost unnoticed, from London, Berlin or Paris to their new spiritual home in Yemen.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Padnos's journey takes him from the newsroom of a Yemeni newspaper to the prayer rows and lecture rooms of Yemen's madrassas, from covert Jeep rides into the sacred mountains to a stint in an overcrowded prison. It is through these events, and through the people he encounters, that Padnos shows us how a terrifying gulf has opened between Islam and the West.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Under Cover of Science American Legal-Economic Theory and the Quest for Objectivity【電子書籍】[ James R. Hackney Jr. ]

＜p＞For more than two decades, the law and economics movement has been one of the most influential and controversial schools of thought in American jurisprudence. In this authoritative intellectual history, James R. Hackney Jr. situates the modern law and economics movement within the trajectory of American jurisprudence from the early days of the Republic to the present. Hackney is particularly interested in the claims of objectivity or empiricism asserted by proponents of law and economics. He argues that the incorporation of economic analysis into legal decision making is not an inherently objective enterprise. Rather, law and economics often cloaks ideological determinationsーparticularly regarding the distribution of wealthーunder the cover of science.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hackney demonstrates how legal-economic thought has been affected by the prevailing philosophical ideas about objectivity, which have in turn evolved in response to groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Thus Hackney’s narrative is a history not only of law and economics but also of select strands of philosophy and science. He traces forward from the seventeenth-century the interaction of legal thinking and economic analysis with ideas about the attainability of certitude. The principal legal-economic theories Hackney examines are those that emerged from classical legal thought, legal realism, law and neoclassical economics, and critical legal studies. He links these theories respectively to formalism, pragmatism, the analytic turn, and neopragmatism/postmodernism, and he explains how each of these schools of philosophical thought was influenced by specific scientific discoveries: Newtonian physics, Darwin’s theory of evolution, Einstein’s theories of relativity, and quantum mechanics. ＜em＞Under Cover of Science＜/em＞ challenges claims that the contemporary law and economics movement is an objective endeavor by historicizing ideas about certitude and empiricism and their relation to legal-economic thought.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
