Juvenile Sexual Offenders: A Comprehensive Guide to Risk Evaluation Review

Rich's latest book addressing work with sexually abusive youth focuses strictly on the assessment of risk for sexual re-offense. His book is complete and broad in every respect, moving seamlessly from theory, to research, to practice, and finally to instruction, moving from the academic to the practical. This is a hands on book that provides information, insight, critique, and direction, including a review of current risk assessment tools and their application, and instruction on how to conduct and document a comprehensive risk assessment, with a focus on the juvenile in the context of his (or her) "whole" life, and not as just an "offender." This is an important contribution to the field.

Product Description

Lawyer misconduct affects many people: clients, adversaries, opposing counsel, judges, the legal profession, and society at large. The records of disciplinary proceedings offer a penetrating, and largely ignored, perspective on how lawyers misbehave. Because the lawyers' professional lives are at stake, the factual records are extraordinarily detailed and the lawyers surprisingly open about their motivations and justifications. In Lawyers on Trial, Richard L. Abel presents the stories of ten California lawyers who broke the rules: hiring an ex-cop to chase ambulances, flouting fee limitations in medical malpractice cases, creating a fictitious company and impersonating non-existent people in order to appropriate Sega's computer games, a former California Real Estate Commissioner defrauding developers and financiers, helping a represented co-defendant negotiate a plea without his lawyer's participation or knowledge, and defying a judge's sealing order and his own client's wishes for closure in order to champion the "defenseless" and "oppressed" and protect "widows and children." The book begins by showing how nearly a century of political struggle over self-regulation shapes the way the disciplinary system selects and processes cases and concludes by canvassing reforms that could improve the performance of the legal profession. Lawyers on Trial will be invaluable for those contemplating law school, law students and teachers of professional responsibility, continuing legal education classes, lawyers encountering ethical dilemmas in their practice or trying to understand misbehaving colleagues, members of the public thinking of retaining a lawyer, and clients dealing with their own lawyers.

Lawyers on Trial: Understanding Ethical Misconduct Review

The only thing worth reading in the Abel book is the reply of one lawyer (having credentials and no other disciplinary cases) whose one case was supposedly covered in one chapter. That reply points to the general unreliability of the accounts in the Abel book. Certainly, Abel's supposed "account" of that one lawyer's case is false and, indeed, as the lawyer's reply makes clear, the Abel "account" is a cover up to a bad case of corruption where the disciplinary system was misused for private purposes. Strikingly, the one disciplinary case of the lawyer occurred with respect to a representation in which the lawyer did what the client testified was a "terrific" job where the client originally owed over $216,000 to the IRS and New York State from the client's involvement in a sham tax shelter and as to which the lawyer was paid by the client testified to was what he told the lawyer to do -- keep a refund that was triggered by a tax adjustment schedule negotiated by the lawyer with the IRS. The Disciplinary Committee member who represented the client in state court based on the disciplinary case formally stipulated that the lawyer earned all what the lawyer was paid. Why, then, would Abel do such a hatchet job? Because the source of the disciplinary complaint and corruption was a lie concocted by a fellow ethics law professor. That's not ethics.

It may be a politically correct thing among some attorneys in the ethics field to say what a good book this is, the truth is that the Abel book is very poor, very unreliable and hardly readable. It won't teach law students or anyone else anything. There is nothing taught about the application of disciplinary rules, and there is nothing taught about the operation of disciplinary procedures (which are in need of reform). Rather, the accounts are more like a National Enquirer article, only that National Inquirer articles may have some truth in them.

Leadership Principles for Project Success Review

According to a 2009 report by the Standish Group, only 32 percent of projects delivered the required scope on time and on budget. The report found that the plurality of projects - 44 percent - were late or over budget, while 24 percent were total failures. These are not encouraging statistics for companies facing the unprecedented combination of accelerating change, increasing complexity, and decreasing budgets.

Thomas Juli's book, Leadership Principles for Project Success, is a timely and welcome guide for business leaders who are under increased pressure to do more with less. Juli points out that traditional project management tools are insufficient to handle today's new business challenges. We can no longer rely exclusively on the linear mechanics of tracking activities, due dates, and assignments to keep projects on target. In today's fast-paced and complex business environment, Juli argues that project leadership needs to complement project management to assure consistent project success.

The book outlines the five principles of the Project Leadership Pyramid: build vision, nurture collaboration, promote performance, cultivate learning, and ensure results. Each of these principles accentuates the importance of recognizing that projects are fundamentally human endeavors and that if the human aspects of a project, especially in fast-changing times, are not thought through, there is little chance of project success. Perhaps this explains why only one in three projects is delivered successfully.

These principles are effective because they recognize that when people have the opportunity to participate in building the project vision, they can personally identify with the project objectives and are able to relate the vision to their daily activities. They also recognize that teamwork is more than the sum of individual activities. It's about the level of collaboration that binds the team members together into a holistic symbiosis. Leaders who practice these principles understand that promoting performance requires bringing people together to focus on solutions and results so they may avoid becoming mired in problems, which is often a consequence of traditional project management. When these principles are followed, people are not punished for mistakes because savvy leaders know how to transform errors into learning opportunities. By accepting that mistakes happen, anomalies surface early in the life of a project when there are more options for solutions, thus avoiding the inevitable 11th hour issues that often plague traditional project management. Finally, by defining interim results and checking back with the customers, these principles assure that projects remain on track so they may be delivered on time and on budget.

Leadership Principles for Project Success contains numerous practical examples of how project leaders can use tools, such as Guided Brainstorming, Vision-Building Workshops, and Team-Norming Workshops to create predictable project success within their organizations. If you want to improve the odds that your projects will deliver results on time and on budget, this book is the secret to project success.

Product Description

There are more than six thousand human languages, each one unique. For the last five hundred years, people have argued about how important language differences are. This book traces that history and shows how language differences have generally been treated either as of no importance or as all-important, depending on broader approaches taken to human life and knowledge. It was only in the twentieth century, in the work of Franz Boas and his students, that an attempt was made to engage seriously with the reality of language specificities. Since the 1950s, this work has been largely presented as yet another claim that language differences are all-important by cognitive scientists and philosophers who believe that such differences are of no importance. This book seeks to correct this misrepresentation and point to the new directions taken by the Boasians, directions now being recovered in the most recent work in psychology and linguistics.

Linguistic Relativities Review

This is a completely fantastic book on the different schools of thought surrounding the nature of language: in short, are our thoughts, perceptions, and conceptualisations of the world determined, to a greater or lesser extent, by language (i.e. does language influence thought), or is there an essential nature to the human mind that will be expressed regardless of language. This is a complicated and nuanced debate, and the beauty of this book is that it explains and critiques the different hypotheses and historical approaches simply, clearly, in depth, and engagingly. An example of the very best kind of academic writing, and accessible to all readers.

Product Description

Once considered among the most respected police departments in the world, the LAPD suffered a devastating fall from grace following the 1991 police officer beating of Rodney King and the Los Angeles riots stemming from the officers �� acquittal in 1992. Unique to the literature of policing, management, and policy studies, Los Angeles Police Department Meltdown: The Fall of the Professional-Reform Model of Policing presents what can be considered the first and only existing research document truly explaining the reasons behind the LAPD � s demise. The book reveals a special inside study performed by the author under the exclusive authority of LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates to investigate why the department had begun to disintegrate following the Rodney King incident, and how, if possible, it could be salvaged. The findings presented are based on first-hand written accounts of LAPD officer informants who describe their observations of the department� s meltdown as it occurred. These accounts explain why the crime-fighting enforcement style of the once highly regarded Professional-Reform Model of policing (coined at the LAPD) was abandoned in police departments across the nation in favor of the less aggressive community-based policing model. Lost for some 20 years under mysterious circumstances after collection and storage at the LAPD, these officer informant materials were recently retrieved and made available for analysis. They are presented in their entirety in this book. In every respect, this work is the final word on why and how the LAPD—a police organization emulated throughout the world � ultimately self-destructed after 41 years of serving and protecting the City of Angels.

Los Angeles Police Department Meltdown: The Fall of the Professional-Reform Model of Policing (Advances in Police Theory and Practice) Review

The book is incorrectly marketed as the answer to the much-publicized turmoil and decline in prestige of the Los Angeles Police Department. It is really a collection of old surveys conducted by the author at the request of the late Chief Gates. If you can visualize the complaining against supervisors by subordinates since time immemorial then you have the gist of this book. The author does make valid points regarding the decline in prestige of the LAPD but, I suspect, only incidental to publishing the redundant, boring surveys.
