Arkansas's Criminal Justice System provides a comprehensive overview of crime and criminal justice in Arkansas. The authors are scholars who draw upon years of experience living, working, and teaching in Arkansas to construct a text that explores the nature of crime in the state and explains in detail how responses to crime are organized through a diverse array of public and private agencies. This new edition provides a more extensive review of crime trends and expands the comparative analysis of crime within Arkansas. Information about law enforcement, courts, corrections, juvenile justice, and crime victim resources has been updated in relation to critical legislative changes such as 2023's Protect Arkansas Act. Each chapter remains specific to Arkansas and efforts have been made to track the impact of recent demographic, economic, political, and technological changes that shape criminal justice practices across the state. The second edition promises to be the most authoritative resource available for those attempting to understand crime and criminal justice issues in the state. The state-focused scope of this book helps complement more general criminal justice texts by supplying details of immediate relevance to those pursuing careers in law enforcement, corrections, or other criminal justice occupations in Arkansas. As part of a larger fifty-state series, this book might also be of interest to anyone engaged in multi-state comparative studies of criminal justice organization and strategies.

Combining intellectual and social history, this work was one of numerous attempts being made at the time to add depth to American social history dealing with women and women’s experiences before feminism.

This volume examines the evolution of the concept of diaspora since the advent of Diaspora Studies in the 90s, specifically vis-à-vis other concepts: transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, creolization. The essays depict the discontinuities of diasporic experience, but also its ongoing negotiations. Building on transatlantic, gender studies and queer theory, they address the theoretical turn when sexual difference is taken into account and gender troubled. Allying theory and case studies, covering diasporas as diverse as the African, Caribbean, Palestinian, South and South-East Asian diasporas, the dispersion of Romas, the spaces of the Indian Ocean, South Africa and New Zealand, this volume promotes another diasporic model: multidirectional, plural and global. It finds in literature and film tools to think the ‘super-diversity’ and the contradictions of our global world. Ce volume est un état des lieux de l’évolution du concept de diaspora depuis l’avènement des études diasporiques dans les années quatre-vingt-dix, et plus particulièrement, de son questionnement face à d’autres concepts : transnationalisme, cosmopolitisme et créolisation. Il décrit les discontinuités de l’expérience diasporique, mais également les négociations en cours. Fort de l’apport des études transatlantiques, de genre et de la théorie queer, il rend compte de l’infléchissement théorique lorsque le sexe est pris en compte ou que le genre se trouble. Alliant théorie et analyse de cas, recouvrant des diasporas aussi diverses que la diaspora africaine, caribéenne, palestinienne, de l’Asie du sud et du sud-est, le déplacement des Roms, les espaces de l’Océan indien, l’Afrique du Sud et la Nouvelle-Zélande, il promeut un autre modèle diasporique : multidirectionnel, pluriel et global. Il trouve dans la littérature et dans le cinéma des outils pour penser « l’extrême diversité » et les contradictions de notre mondialisation.

Severn Suzuki's speech at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio caught the attention of the world. As the daughter of environmentalist David Suzuki, Severn's concern for the environment was fueled by a trip to the Amazon rainforest at age nine. Back home in Vancouver, she and her friends started ECO, the Environmental Children's Organization, combining their efforts to raise enough money to travel to Rio. They couldn't have imagined the effect they would have on the adults gathered there. More than twenty years later, Severn's speech continues to receive thousands of hits on YouTube. Severn's story is about the power that children have to create change when they work together, and how their voices can stand out above the politics and cynicism of adults.

"This study discusses Adcock as a writer who draws on her experiences of dislocation in order to position herself between cultures. It relocates her work within the postwar British poetic mainstream by emphasizing that her radically displaced feminized consciousness can be identified as metonymic of national and cultural differences." "Janet Wilson argues that diasporic voices such as hers, which renegotiate boundaries between self and other, although originating from white settler colonies like New Zealand, now belong to multicultural Britain. Her close readings of Adcock's verse in terms of its ironic double vision, focus on the blend of classical restraint, wit, and humour in relation to her complex revaluation of the diasporic imaginary of the exile. In arguing that Adcock's personal mythology - based on her divided nationality and gendered consciousness - separates her from modernist exile writers like James Joyce and her fellow expatriate Katherine Mansfield, and aligns her with contemporary, transnational figures like the New Zealand writer Janet Frame, the Australian-born poet Peter Porter, and V.S. Naipaul, Wilson claims that hers is a voice for our times."--BOOK JACKET.
