Pursuing justice: Traditional and contemporary issues in our communities and the world, second edition
Abstract
Pursuing Justice, Second Edition, examines the issue of justice by considering the origins of the idea, formal systems of justice, current global issues of justice, and ways in which justice might be achieved by individuals, organizations, and the global community. Part 1 demonstrates how the idea of justice has emerged over time, starting with religion and philosophy, then moving to the justice as a concern of the state, and finally to the concept of social justice. Part 2 outlines the very different mechanisms used by various nations for achieving state justice, including systems based on common law, civil law, and Islamic law, with a separate discussion of the US justice system. Part 3 focuses on four contemporary issues of justice: war, genocide, slavery, and the environment. Finally, Part 4 shows how individuals and organizations can go about pursuing justice, and describes the rise of global justice. This updated timely book helps students understand the complexities and nuances of a society’s pursuit of justice. It provides students with the foundations of global justice systems, integrating Greek philosophies and major religious perspectives into a justice perspective, and contributes to undergraduate understanding of international justice bodies, NGOs, and institutions. • New edition is completely updated and revised to achieve relevance for today's students • Covers concepts of justice as well as ideas for pursuing and achieving justice • Examines how our modern laws began, and traces their evolution to today's laws • Presents concepts and issues in justice studies as well as a comparison of several systems of law • Teaching resources include discussion questions and real-world examples.
Sineklerin Tanrısı, Nobel Edebiyat Ödüllü İngiliz roman yazarı ve şair William Golding (1911 1993) tarafından yazılmış ve Sineklerin Tanrısı, Nobel Edebiyat Ödüllü İngiliz roman yazarı ve şair William Golding (1911-1993) tarafından yazılmış ve 1954 yılında yayımlanmıştır. Romanda, düşman ateşi sonucunda uçakları vurularak ıssız bir adaya düşen yaşları 6 ile 12 arasında değişen bir grup çocuğun yaşam ve umut macerası yanı sıra bu çocukların yanlarında hiçbir yetişkin olmadan adada hayatlarını devam ettirebilmeleri için kurdukları sistemler ve bu sistemlerin ne şekilde işledikleri anlatılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Golding’in bu romanında liderlik ve güç savaşımının ne şekilde ele alındığına dair bir araştırmayı içermektedir. Bu doğrultuda ilk olarak romandaki ana karakterlere dair bir incelemeye yer verilmiş ve daha sonra liderlik ve güç konuları ele alınmıştır. Romandaki güç unsurları ve liderlik özelliklerinin incelendiği bölümleri, çalışmaya dair sonuçların yer aldığı bölüm izlemektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları romanda denizkabuğu ve gözlüğün birer güç unsuru olarak kullanıldıklarını ve romanda serbesti tanıyan liderlikten önce demokratik daha sonra da otokratik liderlik tarzlarına geçiş yapıldığını ortaya koymaktadır.
The debate about New York City's Stop, Question, and Frisk policy has been thrust back into the spotlight through the claims made by President Donald Trump that it worked well in New York City. The fact of the matter is that the merit of the policy is still under considerable debate by those investigating the extreme racial disparities found in the stops, and those investigating its uncorroborated impact in reducing crime. The stronger side, however, appears to be those investigating the racial disparities, as federal courts have ruled unconstitutional the way the New York City Police Department (NYPD) enforces the policy. This research takes an alternative route by investigating the efficiency of the policy through application of data envelopment analysis to stop-and-frisk counts pre- and postconstitutionality ruling to gauge the changes. Findings reveal the efficiency increased slightly, and African Americans benefited the most from the ruling. Additionally, results reveal that whites were negatively affected by the ruling with respect to frisk efficiency.
