  Getting Screwed: Sex Workers and the Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

  Alison Bass weaves the true stories of sex workers with the latest research on prostitution into a gripping journalistic account of how women (and some men) navigate a culture that routinely accepts the implicit exchange of sex for money, status, or even a good meal, but imposes heavy penalties on those who make such bargains explicit. Along the way, Bass examines why an increasing number of middle-class white women choose to become sex workers and explores how prostitution has become a thriving industry in the 21st-century global economy. Situating her book in American history more broadly, she also discusses the impact of the sexual revolution, the rise of the Nevada brothels, and the growing war on sex trafficking after 9/11. Drawing on recent studies that show lower rates of violence and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, in regions where adult prostitution is legal and regulated, Bass makes a powerful case for decriminalizing sex work. Through comparisons of the impact of criminalization vs. decriminalization in other countries, her book offers strategies for making prostitution safer for American sex workers and the communities in which they dwell. This riveting assessment of how US anti-prostitution laws harm the public health and safety of sex workers and other citizens - and affect larger societal attitudes toward women - will interest feminists, sociologists, lawyers, health-care professionals, and policy makers. The book also will appeal to anyone with an interest in American history and our society's evolving attitudes toward sexuality and marriage. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Murphy.

  Prisons of Debt (eBook, ePUB)

  A profound portrait of the hidden injustices that trap fathers in a cycle of punishment and debt. In the first study of its kind, sociologist Lynne Haney travels into state institutions across the country to document the experiences of the millions of fathers cycling through the criminal justice and child support systems. Prisons of Debt shows how these systems work together to create complex entanglements-rather than "piling up" in men's lives, these entanglements form feedback loops of disadvantage. The prison-child support pipeline flows in both directions, deepening parents' debt and criminal justice involvement. Through moving accounts of men struggling to be fathers from behind prison walls and under the weight of support debt, Prisons of Debt exposes how the criminalization of child support undermines the most essential of familial relationships. Haney argues that these state systems can end up producing exactly the kind of parent they fear and loathe: bitter, unreliable, and cyclical fathers. Based on observations of 1,200 child support cases and interviews with 145 indebted fathers in New York, California, and Florida, Prisons of Debt reveals the actual practices of child support adjudication and enforcement alongside the lived realities of fathers trapped in those systems. The result is a rigorously documented analysis of how poor men are too often denied their rights of citizenship and of fatherhood.

  Preventing Bullying: Understanding Bullying and Problem Solving , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min

  As every person has a different threshold of physical and mental distress, bullying, or abuse may be nothing more than harmless fun for another person.Further problems arise due to the difficulties of determining at which stage such conduct is bullying. General youthful chatter becomes bullying when the same person or people receive negative attention frequently against their own wishes but cannot avoid it. Another problem is the persistence of certain harmful and undesirable behaviors. Isolated incidents do not prove to bully, but that a definite time period is needed-weeks, months, and even years-for bullying to be defined.Therefore, it is difficult to illustrate these concepts.That said, efforts have been made to create a working understanding of bullying so that the word is explicit.What you will learn in this audiobook: How to know if you are a bullyHow bullying affect peopleThe disturbing trend in bullyingUnderstanding bullying and problem solvingCan bullying be stopped?What are bullying parents?Bully-proof your kidStand against the bullyHow to bully-proof your child with autismFacts of anti bullyingStop the bullyCoping with bullying in schoolSelect a martial art for a kid victim of bullyingStop your child from bullying others?Techniques and anti-bullying skills for childrenIs your child the victim of a bully?Dealing with bullyingHow to stop the cyber bully?Criminalization may be the way to end bullyingThings the girl bullies doOne definition considers bullying to be wrong for the victim and believes it to be a negative and harmful treatment for the other in such a way that the target suffers and becomes embarrassed or weak and has a detrimental and stressful impact for him or her.Unlike abuse, bullying is defined mainly by the re ungekürzt.

  High: Drugs, Desire & a Nation of Users , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min

  Whether drinking Red Bull, relieving chronic pain with oxycodone, or experimenting with Ecstasy, Americans participate in a culture of self-medication, using psychoactive substances to enhance or manage moods. A "drug-free America" seems to be a fantasyland that most people don't want to inhabit. High: Drugs, Desire, and a Nation of Users asks fundamental questions about US drug policies and social norms. Why do we endorse the use of some drugs and criminalize others? Why do we accept the necessity of a doctor-prescribed opiate but not the same thing bought off the street? This divided approach shapes public policy, the justice system, research, social services, and health care. And despite the decades-old war on drugs and drug use remains relatively unchanged.Ingrid Walker speaks to the silencing effects of both criminalization and medicalization, incorporating first-person narratives to show a wide variety of user experiences with drugs. By challenging current thinking about drugs and users, Walker calls for a next wave of drug policy reform in the United States, beginning with recognizing the full spectrum of drug use practices.The book is published by University of Washington Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."A fresh approach to drug policy discussions." (Nancy Campbell, author of Discovering Addiction: The Science and Politics of Substance Abuse Research)"Walker urges us to move beyond the failures of drug policy rooted in prohibition."

  Just Culture: Restoring Trust and Accountability in Your Organization, Third Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 345min

  A just culture is a culture of trust, learning, and accountability. It is particularly important when an incident has occurred or when something has gone wrong. How do you respond to the people involved? What do you do to minimize the negative impact and maximize learning?  This third edition of Sidney Dekker's extremely successful Just Culture offers new material on restorative justice and ideas about why your people may be breaking rules. Supported by extensive case material, you will learn about safety reporting and honest disclosure, retributive just culture, and the criminalization of human error. Some suspect a just culture means letting people off the hook. Yet they believe they need to remain able to hold people accountable for undesirable performance. In this new edition, Dekker asks you to look at accountability in different ways. One is by asking which rule was broken, who did it, whether that behavior crossed some line, and what the appropriate consequences should be. In this retributive sense, an account is something you get people to pay or settle. But who will draw that line? And is the process fair? Other ways to approach accountability after an incident is to ask who was hurt; to ask what their needs are; and to explore whose obligation it is to meet those needs. People involved in causing the incident may well want to participate in meeting those needs. In this restorative sense, an account is something you get people to tell and others to listen to.  If you learn to look at accountability in different ways, your impact on restoring trust, learning, and a sense of humanity in your organization could be enormous. ungekürzt.

  None of the Above: The Untold Story of the Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal, Corporate Greed, and the Criminalization of Educators , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min

  An insider’s account of the infamous Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal that scapegoated black employees for problems caused by an education reform movement that is increasingly a proxy for corporate greed.In March of 2013, 35 black educators in Atlanta Public Schools were charged with racketeering and conspiracy - the same charges used to bring down the American mafia - for allegedly changing students’ answers on standardized tests. The youngest of the accused, Shani Robinson had taught for only three years and was a new mother when she was wrongfully convicted and faced up to 20 years in prison.In None of the Above, Robinson and journalist Anna Simonton explore how racist policies and practices cheated generations of black children out of opportunities long before some teachers tampered with tests. Examining the corporate education-reform movement, hyper-policing in black communities, cycles of displacement and gentrification, and widening racial and economic disparities in Atlanta, they reveal how the financially powerful have profited from privatization and the dismantling of public education. Against this backdrop, they cast the story of the cheating scandal in a new light, illuminating a deeply flawed investigation and a circus-like trial spun into a media sensation that defied justice. ungekürzt.

  Drug Use for Grown-Ups

  Hart s argument that we need to drastically revise our current view of illegal drugs is both powerful and timely . . . when it comes to the legacy of this country s war on drugs, we should all share his outrage. The New York Times Book ReviewFrom one of the world's foremost experts on the subject, a powerful argument that the greatest damage from drugs flows from their being illegal, and a hopeful reckoning with the possibility of their use as part of a responsible and happy lifeDr. Carl L. Hart, Ziff Professor at Columbia University and former chair of the Department of Psychology, is one of the world's preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body. Dr. Hart is open about the fact that he uses drugs himself, in a happy balance with the rest of his full and productive life as a researcher and professor, husband, father, and friend. In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use--not drugs themselves--have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country's enduring structural racism.Dr. Hart did not always have this view. He came of age in one of Miami's most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes. But one problem kept cropping up: the evidence from his research did not support his hypothesis. From inside the massively well-funded research arm of the American war on drugs, he saw how the facts did not support the ideology. The truth was dismissed and distorted in order to keep fear and outrage stoked, the funds rolling in, and Black and brown bodies behind bars. Drug Use for Grown-Ups will be controversial, to be sure: the propaganda war, Dr. Hart argues, has been tremendously effective. Imagine if the only subject of any discussion about driving automobiles was fatal car crashes. Drug Use for Grown-Ups offers a radically different vision: when used responsibly, drugs can enrich and enhance our lives. We have a long way to go, but the vital conversation this book will generate is an extraordinarily important step.
