The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison

The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison

For 40 years this classic text has taken the issue of economic inequality seriously and asked: Why are our prisons filled with the poor? Why aren’t the tools of the criminal justice system being used to protect Americans from predatory business practices and to punish well-off people who cause widespread harm? This new edition continues to engage readers in important exercises of critical thinking: Why has the U. S. relied so heavily on tough crime policies despite evidence of their limited effectiveness and how much of the decline in crime rates can be attributed to them? Why does the U. S. have such a high crime rate compared to other developed nations and what could we do about it? Are the morally blameworthy harms of the rich and poor equally translated into criminal laws that protect the public from harms on the streets and harms from the suites? How much class bias is present in the criminal justice system—both when the rich and poor engage in the same act and when the rich use their leadership of corporations to perpetrate mass victimization? The Rich Get Richer the Poor Get Prison shows readers that much of what goes on in the criminal justice system violates citizens’ sense of basic fairness. It presents extensive evidence from mainstream data that the criminal justice system does not function in the way it says it does nor in the way that readers believe it should. The authors develop a theoretical perspective from which readers might understand these failures and evaluate them morally—and they do it in a short text written in plain language. Readers who are not convinced about the larger theoretical perspective will still have engaged in extensive critical thinking to identify their own taken-for-granted assumptions about crime and criminal justice as well as uncover the effects of power on social practices. This engagement helps readers develop their own worldview. New to this edition: • Presents recent data comparing the harms due to criminal activity with the harms of dangerous—but not criminal—corporate actions • Updates research on class discrimination at every stage of the criminal justice system • Updates statistics on crime victimization incarceration and wealth • Increased material for thinking critically about criminal justice and criminology • New material on global warming and why Black Lives Matter protests did not cause increases in crime in 2020 • Expanded discussion of marijuana and drug legalization • Stronger chapter overviews clearer chapter structure and expanded review questions • Streamlined and condensed prose for greater clarity. | The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison

Impact of Rich Countries' Policies on Poor Countries Towards a Level Playing Field in Development Cooperation

Impact of Rich Countries' Policies on Poor Countries Towards a Level Playing Field in Development Cooperation

All United Nations heads of state have endorsed the Millennium Development Goals which aim to reduce the incidence of absolute poverty by half by 2015. To reach those goals growth in developing countries will have to be twice the levels achieved in the 1990s for the next fifteen years. This will require at the least new rules of the development game. At present rich countries exercise control over the institutions that oversee the global economy. This volume addresses a curiously neglected area of policy analysis-the impact of rich countries' policies on the global poor. Four-fifths of the world's people subsist on one-fifth of the world's income. One-fifth live in abject poverty on less than one dollar a day. The main responsibility for reducing poverty reduction naturally rests with developing countries. But globalization means that rich countries must also play their part. Industrialized countries dominate global environmental management through the heavy ecological footprint of their production and consumption patterns. Adjustments of their policies by rich countries may be as critical as government reforms in poor countries. Past research has concentrated on policy adjustments that need to be made within poor countries to aid effectiveness and trade reform. Relatively little is known about the economic consequences of migration control of intellectual property and environmental regulations. Even less research has been done on the interaction and combined impact of the full spectrum of rich countries' policies on the economy society and ecology in poor countries. These knowledge gaps inhibit rational debate let alone evidence-based policymaking that may lead towards sustainable and equitable growth. At current levels aid alone cannot deliver adequate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. The surveys by eminent development analysts and practitioners included in this volume sketch a road map for a better understanding of the mechanics of globalization and the improved design of development policies. | Impact of Rich Countries' Policies on Poor Countries Towards a Level Playing Field in Development Cooperation

The Journals of Two Poor Dissenters

The Journals of Two Poor Dissenters

The Journals of Two Poor Dissenters (1970) is a remarkable example of voices from the past giving a humble man’s record of his time. William Swan and his son were Nonconformist labourers in London in the early part of the nineteenth century. They were poor ill afflicted with family troubles and the constant problem of finding work. In spite of this they thanked God for each misfortune as it arrived and looked to the next year with gratitude for all the graces which the modern reader may find hard to detect. The Introduction places this account in its context of history and social record.

Identifying the Poor Using Subjective and Consensual Measures

Identifying the Poor Using Subjective and Consensual Measures

This title was first published in 2002: An investigation into the problem of identifying the poor and determining the poverty line.

The book contains an extensive and thorough review of the theoretical and empirical literature as well as rigorous analysis of survey data from Belgium. The result is a conclusive assessment of the validity and usefulness of the subjective and consensual approaches to poverty measurement. | Identifying the Poor Using Subjective and Consensual Measures

Poor Women Powerful Men America's Great Experiment In Family Planning

Poor Women Powerful Men America's Great Experiment In Family Planning

Poor Women Powerful Men chronicles the achievements and subsequent failure of the Louisiana Family Health Foundation the most extensive family planning program ever to operate in the United States. Martha C. Ward's even-handed account reveals the mechanisms—of politics poverty and public health policies—at work in the perpetual controversies surrounding reproductive rights and the delivery of health care services to the poor. Ward's book begins in the early 1960s when Louisiana was among the most underdeveloped states and ranked at the bottom of all scales measuring illiteracy illegitimacy and infant mortality. Despite the free statewide Charity Hospital system many routine preventive medical and public health services were not available to poor women and their children particularly if they were black. But in the mid-1960s a visionary group of doctors and health care practitioners began to clear the hurdles erected by law church and the medical-political establishment. By 1970 they had set up the first statewide family planning program for poor people in the United States. The Louisiana experiment was a spectacular success. The Ford Rockefeller and Kellogg Foundations poured millions of dollars into the program. The Great Society and War on Poverty programs placed a high priority on the health of poor mothers and infants. With the help of the population lobby—including Planned Parenthood and the Agency for International Development—the Family Health Foundation moved into Latin America and other developing areas. But in 1974 the bubble burst. Accusations of fiscal mismanagement fraudulent statistics patronage and political payoffs led to federal indictments and jail sentences for top officials. Poor women and powerful men the black and white communities and the liberal and conservative medical factions were pitted against each other. With the collapse of the program methods for handling the epidemic of adolescent pregnancies and the high infant mortality rate reverted to the state bureaucracies. Poor Women Powerful Men is the first book-length account of the Louisiana experiment. In a clear and dispassionate voice Ward demonstrates that many of the questions raised by the experiment persist. Is family planning an answer to the cycle of poverty teenage pregnancies and infant mortality? How can the conflict between private and public delivery of medical care be resolved? Where do the reproductive rights of women fit into governmentally supported birth control programs? We seem no closer today to answering these questions than the Louisiana Family Health Foundation was more than a decade ago. | Poor Women Powerful Men America's Great Experiment In Family Planning

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

In the 1960s America set out to end poverty. Policy-makers put forth an unprecedented package of legislation funding poverty programs and empowering the poor through ineffectual employment-related education and training. However these handouts produced little change and efforts to provide education and job-training proved inconsequential boasting only a 2. 8 percent decrease in the poverty rate since 1965. Decades after the War on Poverty began many of its programs failed. Only one thing really worked to help end poverty-and that was work itself the centerpiece of welfare reform in 1996. Poor No More is a plan to restructure poverty programs prioritizing jobs above all else. Traditionally job placement programs stemmed from non-profit organizations or government agencies. However America Works the first for-profit job placement venture founded by Peter Cove has the highest employee retention rate in the greater New York City area even above these traditional agencies. When the federal government embraced the work-first ideal inspired by the success of America Works welfare rolls plummeted from 12. 6 million to 4. 7 million nationally within one decade. Poor No More is a paradigm-shifting work that guides the reader through the evolution of America's War on Poverty and urges policy-makers to eliminate training and education programs that waste time and money and to adopt a work-first model while providing job-seekers with the tools and life lessons essential to finding and maintaining employment. | Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

In eighteenth-century England the law surrounding vagrancy was complicated and practice stood in complex relationship to law. Drawing on extensive archival research and in-depth study of both statute law and local administrative records this book examines the complexities of vagrancy law and the realities of its practice during the long eighteenth century. It shows how settlement law and poor law provision failed to address both the changing demographic situation and the impact of wars leaving significant numbers without support. Focusing on the 1744 Vagrant Act the study traces how and why the law evolved from 1700 when vagrancy was first made a county charge and what changes followed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It explores how vagrancy law was used and to what effect how it was extended and adapted to plug gaps in both poor law provision and in dealing with petty crime not covered by statute law and how law and practice intersected with social reality. Using the Quarter Sessions records of six counties: Westmorland Cambridgeshire Dorset Hampshire Lancashire and Middlesex the book is able to give the first account of vagrancy law in provincial England rather than focusing on metropolitan areas thus also demonstrating the tensions between parishes justices and counties over the use of law and its financial impact. By detailed reference to cases of individual vagrants the book also shows what sorts of people were dealt with under vagrancy law what happened to them and how and why the justices discriminated between the unfortunate and the criminal elements among them. This analysis reveals the principal causes of the vagrancy problems and the misfit between the law and social reality with particular emphasis on the impact of wars and immigration from Ireland and Scotland. As the first full-length study of vagrancy law and practice in the eighteenth century this book will constitute an essential item in any collection of books on the old poor law. | Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

Social Class Supports Programs and Practices to Serve and Sustain Poor and Working-Class Students through Higher Education

Social Class Supports Programs and Practices to Serve and Sustain Poor and Working-Class Students through Higher Education

Historically higher education was designed for a narrow pool of privileged students. Despite national state and institutional policies developed over time to improve access higher education has only lately begun to address how its unexamined assumptions practices and climate create barriers for poor and working class populations and lead to significant disparities in degree completion across social classes. The data shows that higher education substantially fails to provide poor and working class students with the necessary support to achieve the social mobility and success comparable to the attainments of their middle and upper class peers. This book presents a comprehensive range of strategies that provide the fundamental supports that poor and working-class students need to succeed while at the same time dismantling the inequitable barriers that make college difficult to navigate. Drawing on the concept of the student-ready college and on emerging research and practices that colleges and universities can use to explore campus-specific social class issues and identify barriers this book provides examples of support programs and services across the field of higher education – at both two- and four-year public and private institutions – that cover:·Access supports. Examples and recommendations for how institutions can assist students as they make decisions about applications and admission. ·Basic needs supports. Covering housing and food security necessary clothing sense of belonging through co-curricular engagement and mental health resources. ·Academic and learning supports. Describes courses and academic programs to promote full engagement among poor and working class students. ·Advising supports. Illustrates advising that acknowledges poor and working class students’ identities and recommends continued training for both staff and faculty advisors. ·Supports for specific populations at the intersection of social class with other identities such as Students of Color foster youth LGBTQ and doctoral students. ·Gaining support through external partnerships with social services business entities and fundraising. This book is addressed to administrators educators and student affairs personnel urging them to make the institutional commitment to enhance the college experience for poor and working class students who not only represent a substantial proportion of college students today but constitute a significant future demographic. | Social Class Supports Programs and Practices to Serve and Sustain Poor and Working-Class Students through Higher Education

A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

Tracing the origin of work with the ‘impotent poor’ under the Poor Laws to social workers’ current responsibilities towards vulnerable people this book introduces the reader to the way in which the identification of particular social problems at the end of the nineteenth century led to the emergence of a wide range of separate occupational groups and voluntary workers which were sometimes but increasingly referred to as social workers. Using an extended single chronological historical narrative and analysis which draws heavily on original archival sources and contemporary literature it addresses the changes which took place as part of the welfare state and the identification of common roles and responsibilities by social workers which led to the formation of the British Association of Social Workers in 1970. The expansion of roles and responsibilities in social services departments and voluntary societies is analysed and their significance for the development of social work is evaluated. By highlighting the changes and continuities in these roles and responsibilities this book will be of interest to all academics students and practitioners working within social work who wish to know more about the origins of their discipline and the current state of the profession today. | A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

Why do we feel uncomfortable talking about class? Why is it taboo? Why do people often address class through coded terminology like trashy classy and snobby? How does discriminatory language or how do conscious or unconscious derogatory attitudes or the anticipation of such behaviors impact those from poor and working class backgrounds when they straddle class? Through 26 narratives of individuals from poor and working class backgrounds – ranging from students to multiple levels of administrators and faculty both tenured and non-tenured – this book provides a vivid understanding of how people can experience and straddle class in the middle upper or even elitist class contexts of the academy. Through the powerful stories of individuals who hold many different identities-and naming a range of ways they identify in terms of race ethnicity gender sexuality age ability and religion among others-this book shows how social class identity and classism impact people's experience in higher education and why we should focus more attention on this dimension of identity. The book opens by setting the foundation by examining definitions of class discussing its impact on identity and summarizing the literature on class and what it can tell us about the complexities of class identity its fluidity sometimes performative nature and the sense of dissonance it can provoke. This book brings social class identity to the forefront of our consciousness conversations and behaviors and compels those in the academy to recognize classism and reimagine higher education to welcome and support those from poor and working class backgrounds. Its concluding chapter proposes means for both increasing social class consciousness and social class inclusivity in the academy. It is a compelling read for everyone in the academy not least for those from poor or working class backgrounds who will find validation and recognition and draw strength from its vivid stories. | Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

Youth and Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa Working but Poor

Youth and Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa Working but Poor

It is widely acknowledged that youth unemployment is one of the most critical challenges facing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This volume brings together an eminent group of international scholars to analyse the extent and complex nature of this joblessness and offer a set of evidence-based policy choices that could contribute to solving the problem in the short- and long-run. Part I reviews the existing literature on youth unemployment and underemployment in Sub-Saharan Africa from microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives while Part II goes on to present detailed country studies of Ethiopia Ghana Kenya and South Africa. These studies offer a deep understanding of the situation on the ground and consider country-specific solutions. Throughout the book it is argued that the standard ILO definition of unemployment is too narrow to correctly portray employment situations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Several alternative measures of unemployment are presented which show that joblessness is far more pervasive than commonly assumed in the literature. This volume will be of interest to academics and policy makers involved in African development. | Youth and Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa Working but Poor

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

This book examines the political and economic dimensions of food security in Bangladesh and assesses the role of the state in meeting the challenges of food security. The key concern which is at the heart of this study is to explore how Bangladesh responds when its people go hungry. There are no detailed empirical studies that examine the Bangladesh’s role by providing an historical cum political analysis; however conventional approaches are primarily concerned with a partial diagnosis of the economic or nutritional problems of food security. The book then provides a detailed picture of the missing dimensions of state that include the strength of institutions the scope of state functions and other important attributes. In doing so it uses the concept of neo-patrimonialism to explore the political system of Bangladesh. This book explicates the various impediments to food security ranging from the process of policy formulation to their implementation mechanisms. It unpacks the structural weaknesses of the Bangladesh's institutional capacity in promoting food security and in the process argues that the root cause of food insecurity is deeply embedded in the nature of the government itself and the political institutions that link the state and society. | Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Religion and Relationships in Ragged Schools An Intimate History of Educating the Poor 1844-1870

Religion and Relationships in Ragged Schools An Intimate History of Educating the Poor 1844-1870

Focusing on the interaction between teachers and scholars this book provides an intimate account of ragged schools that challenges existing scholarship on evangelical child-saving movements and Victorian philanthropy. With Lord Shaftesbury as their figurehead these institutions provided a free education to impoverished children. The primary purpose of the schools however was the salvation of children’s souls. Using promotional literature and local school documents this book contrasts the public portrayal of children and teachers with that found in practice. It draws upon evidence from schools in Scotland and England giving insight into the achievements and challenges of individual institutions. An intimate account is constructed using the journals maintained by Martin Ware the superintendent of a North London school alongside a cache of letters that children sent him. This combination of personal and national perspectives adds nuance to the narratives often imposed upon historic philanthropic movements. Investigating how children responded to the evangelistic messages and educational opportunities ragged schools offered this book will be of keen interest to historians of education emigration religion as well as of the nineteenth century more broadly. | Religion and Relationships in Ragged Schools An Intimate History of Educating the Poor 1844-1870
