Kirkus' Review Twelve scholars, most of them previously associated with the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence appointed by President Johnson in 1968, take a new look at the course of violent crime in the US and reevaluate public policy. They report that individual violent crime (murder, assault, rape, and robbery) has soared to a rate far outdistancing all other industrialized nations. This despite an all-out, multi-million-dollar, 15-year ""war on crime,"" the most ferocious and expensive in history, which doubled our prison population and now ranks us with the Soviet Union and South Africa as the most ""prison happy"" countries in the world. During the same period ""collective violence,"" the Commission's term for inner-city riots, almost disappeared, only to be replaced by random street crime, ""a form of slow rioting."" International terrorism, too, though so far aimed mostly at American targets outside American borders, poses a rising threat. Up to now, say the experts, we have gone at these problems in the wrong way, throwing money into the criminal justice system, which cannot prevent but only react to crime, and into more and bigger prisons, though it is clear that ""deterrence,"" the most common justification for imprisonment, doesn't work. What's needed, they say, is careful attention to the ""root causes"" of crime: the poverty and powerlessness of the underclass (now mostly black and Hispanic), the breakdown in family and community support systems, and the ""legitimation of violence"" by war. Both liberal ""welfarism"" and conservative ""law and order"" policies, they say, have missed the point. They recommend that citizens become more involved in their own protection, working through neighborhood organizations in carefully targeted areas to prevent crime by developing extended family support systems and employment for young people. . .

After a decade of informing students and practitioners in the field, Resiliency: An Integrated Approach to Practice, Policy, and Research, 2nd edition, updates Roberta R. Greene's seminal text on resiliency theory for a new decade. Emerging from the ecological and systems frameworks of the profession's person-in-environment approach, resiliency theory offers social workers a perspective that is empirically based, practical, and focused on personal strengths. Illustrated with clear examples of resiliency-based practice in a variety of settings and drawing on numerous social work approaches, Resiliency equips readers with specific intervention strategies to nurture and supports clients' strengths, self-efficacy, and ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and heal. The included CD makes the new edition of Resiliency especially applicable in social work classrooms, but students and teachers alike as well as practitioners, policymakers, and researchers will value this update, for the latest thinking regarding an important paradigm that underscores the heroic nature of human endurance and fortitude.

Theories of the Policy Process provides a forum for the experts in the most established and widely used theoretical frameworks in policy process research to present the basic propositions, empirical evidence, latest updates, and the promising future research opportunities of each framework. This well-regarded volume covers such enduring classics as Multiple Streams (Zahariadis et al.), Punctuated Equilibrium (Jones et al.), Advocacy Coalition Framework (Jenkins-Smith et al.), Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (Schlager and Cox), and Policy Diffusion (Berry and Berry), as well as two newer theories―Policy Feedback (Mettler and SoRelle) and Narrative Policy Framework (McBeth et al.). The fourth edition now includes a discussion of global and comparative perspectives in each theoretical chapter and a brand-new chapter that explores how these theories have been adapted for, and employed in, non-American and non-Western contexts. An expanded introduction and revised conclusion fully examines and contextualizes the history, trajectories and functions of public policy research. Since its first publication in 1999, Theories of the Policy Process has been, and remains, the quintessential gateway to the field of policy process research for students, scholars and practitioners.

The first edition of Bureaucratic Politics and Foreign Policy is one of the most successful Brookings titles of all time. This thoroughly revised version updates that classic analysis of the role played by the federal bureaucracy—civilian career officials, political appointees, and military officers—and Congress in formulating U.S. national security policy, illustrating how policy decisions are actually made. Government agencies, departments, and individuals all have certain interests to preserve and promote. Those priorities, and the conflicts they sometimes spark, heavily influence the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. A decision that looks like an orchestrated attempt to influence another country may in fact represent a shaky compromise between rival elements within the U.S. government. The authors provide numerous examples of bureaucratic maneuvering and reveal how they have influenced our international relations. The revised edition includes new examples of bureaucratic politics from the past three decades, from Jimmy Carter's view of the State Department to conflicts between George W. Bush and the bureaucracy regarding Iraq. The second edition also includes a new analysis of Congress's role in the politics of foreign policymaking.

In the past two decades, many prevention and suppression programs have been initiated on a national and local level to combat street gangs--but what do we really know about them? Why do youths join them? Why do they proliferate? Street Gang Patterns and Policies is a crucial update and critical examination of our understanding of gangs and major gang-control programs across the nation. Often perceived solely as an urban issue, street gangs are also a suburban and rural dilemma. Klein and Maxson focus on gang proliferation, migration, and crime patterns, and highlight known risk factors that lead to youths form and join gangs within communities. Dispelling the long-standing assumptions that the public, the media, and law enforcement have about street gangs, they present a comprehensive overview of how gangs are organized and structured. The authors assess the major gang programs across the nation and argue that existing prevention, intervention, and suppression methods targeting individuals, groups, and communities, have been largely ineffective. Klein and Maxson close by offering valuable policy guidelines for practitioners on how to intervene and control gangs more successfully. Filling an important gap in the literature on street gangs and social control, this book is a must-read for criminologists, social workers, policy makers, and criminal justice practitioners.

In this well-rounded and student-friendly casebook, theory and policy discussions are threaded throughout the text material, which provides the basis for dealing with the problems and questions that now appear at the end of the section or subsection to which they relate. The Third Edition is not merely an update of the Second Edition; it is a complete rewrite. To make Federal Income Tax: Doctrine, Structure, and Policy accessible to students and to facilitate understanding, the text has been revised in the following ways:Part I is now devoted to setting out the basic structures of income taxation and consumption taxation and uses tax policy tools to explore those differences. The move toward consumption taxation is one of the prime tax policy debates today, and the tension and intersection problems created by these two paradigms in the current Internal Revenue Code are important topics to explore with students. The basic differences between these two tax paradigms are then woven in throughout the book, where relevant.There is a new chapter on Credit Purchases and Sales as well as a new chapter on the treatment of reimbursements for losses and expenses.Many examples are provided to illustrate statements of law.Difficult concepts are revisited several times in different contexts.Problems begin simply and progress in complexity. They require students to read closely and apply the Code, Treasury Regulations, cases, and rulings. Many problems involve transactions that are common or of likely interest to law students.
