Hardback. Etat : Good. With a foreword by Bruce Western Named one of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Shortlisted, 2024 Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social JusticeThe most comprehensive critique of probation and parole--and a provocative and compelling argument for abolishing both--from the former Probation Commissioner of New York CityImagine if probation didn't exist. And I came to you with$80 million and 30,000 people the courts considered troubled and troubling. Andyou could do anything you wanted with that money to make New York Citysafer and help people turn their lives around. Would you go out and hire a thousandcivil service-protected bureaucrats to supervise people as they piss in a cuponce a week, and to tell them to go forth and sin no more?--Vincent Schiraldi's Job Interview with NYC Mayor Mike BloombergWe've heard a lot in recent years about the nearly 2.1 million people incarcerated in American prisons and jails. But what about the approximately 4 million more who are on probation and parole--monitored by the state at great expense and at risk of being sent to prison at the whim of a probation or parole officer for the least imaginable infraction? Vincent Schiraldi was New York City probation commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, supervising a system charged with monitoring 30,000 people on a daily basis. In Mass Supervision, he combines firsthand experience with deep research on the inadequately explored practices of probation and parole, to illustrate how these forms of state supervision have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have become instead, Schiraldi argues, a recidivism trap for people trying to lead productive lives in the wake of a criminal conviction. Schiraldi offers the first full and up-to-date account of these two key aspects of our criminal justice system, showing that these practices increase incarceration, have little impact on crime rates, and needlessly disrupt countless lives. Ultimately, he argues that they should be dramatically downsized or even abolished completely.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Success often depends on the strength of a single quality: leadership. Winston Churchill is universally recognized as one of the 20th century's great political leaders and his words ring just as true in the world of commerce. A wise, witty, and inspiring leader, Churchill ran Great Britain like a great corporation. Perhaps the finest book on practical leadership ever written. -- Brian Tracy Churchill on Leadership demonstrates that the principles that guided Churchill ably translate to private industry today. Author Steven F. Hayward gives strong evidence that, if you remove Churchill from his political context, he would have the resume to be among the great business leaders of any age. Churchill: - was a financier (as chancellor of the Exechequer) and labor negotiator (as home secretary) - managed a large transportation network (as head of the British Navy) and far-flung property holdings (as colonial secretary) - persevered through bankruptcies and other financial disasters - conceived and introduced innovative new products over the opposition of his colleagues, and reorganized major production operations in the midst of crisis. With wit and insight, Hayward reveals Churchill's secrets for business success from assembling and inspiring a first-rate team to preparing a wise budget, from communicating a vision to structuring effective meetings, from acting decisively to rebounding from a failure. Laced with epochal events from the historical stage, enlivened with stimulating speculation, and leavened with wit, Churchill on Leadership is both an enjoyable read and a thought-provoking lesson on leadership.…
