Editorial Review Product Description The work of Stanley Cohen over four decades has come to acquire a classical status in the fields of criminology, sociology and human rights. His writing, research, teaching and practical engagement in these fields have been at once rigorously analytical and intellectually inspiring. It amounts to a unique contribution, immensely varied yet with several unifying themes, and it has made, and continues to make, a lasting impact around the world. His work thus has a protean character and scope which transcend time and place. |

A Must Read - Even If You're Pro-death Penalty, Like Me!
Overwhelming evidence of innocence on death row The book includes several examples of public servants who serve their own interests by lying and sending innocent people to death row. One story that stands out for me:Earl Charles was convicted for a double murder that took place in 1974 in Savannah, Georgia while he was living and working in Tampa, Florida.According to evidence described in the book, it is apparent that Detective F.W.Wade used perjury and coercion to get the conviction.The thing that saved Charles was that his boss, the manager of a gasoline service station, did not trust him.The boss had asked a deputy sheriff to look in on him from time to time which he did.The sheriff also kept a log which showed that Charles was at work on the day of the murders.When Charles was convicted and sentenced to the electric chair, his former employer and the deputy sheriff came to his rescue at the request of Charles' mother.His conviction was vacated and he was set free after spending 3 years awaiting execution. The book also contains examples of people who were set free who probably were guilty in reality. Consequently, additional light is shed on how and why our legal system fails.When guilty criminals go free on technicalities, police are motivated to try harder the next time - even to the point of fabricating evidence so as to win instead of lose.The book also concludes that while many innocent people have been freed from death row it is mathematically probable that a high number of innocent people have been executed. At times I found it depressing.Mitigating my depression was the fact that woven throughout are heroes who stood up for the truth. The book was sketchy in places.101 people are freed from death row in 290 pages.That's about 3 pages per person.I would have liked to see a little more depth to rate it 5 stars.Still, there are so many cases, the book has value a reference.It also serves well the notion that these occurrences are not extraordinary, made-for-TV, examples.They happen repeatedly in many states.You have to read it to believe it.The book also demonstrates that our system for capital punishment in the U.S. is still broken as of this writing. ...

Awesome Insight into Mosconi
A fun and informative look at one of pool's greatest players From learning to play by hitting potatoes around on the pool table, to winning tournaments for big money, to setting the world record for the most balls run (526), Mosconi did it all. He talks a lot in his autobiography about what makes a good player, and about the difference between an apt technician and a champion. As you'd expect, the personalities are colorful, especially when set against the background of early twentieth century America. Mosconi doesn't mince words about his impressions of and experiences with other pool notables. There's a lot of valuable pool history and anecdotes here. ... Read more |
