  The Shocking Truth about Online...

  Online reviews have become one of the most powerful tools in shaping consumer decisions. Whether purchasing a new gadget, choosing a restaurant, or booking a hotel, people rely on reviews to guide their choices. A five-star rating can boost a business overnight, while a flood of negative feedback can drive customers away. In an era where digital opinions hold immense influence, many consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. But how trustworthy are these reviews?  
    
  The rise of online platforms such as Amazon, Yelp, Google Reviews, and TripAdvisor has created a marketplace where reviews serve as a form of social proof. Businesses thrive on positive feedback, and consumers seek reassurance from the experiences of others. However, beneath the surface lies a complex and often deceptive world where fake reviews, manipulation tactics, and hidden agendas distort reality. Many businesses engage in review boosting—either by purchasing fake positive feedback or discrediting competitors with negative comments. Similarly, some companies pressure customers to leave glowing reviews in exchange for discounts, gifts, or other incentives.  
    
  Fake reviews have become so prevalent that major platforms have struggled to combat the problem. Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools are employed to detect suspicious patterns, yet fraudulent reviews continue to slip through the cracks. Review farms, where individuals are paid to write misleading feedback, operate in the shadows, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between genuine experiences and fabricated opinions.

  In Radical Brown, renowned developmental scholar Margaret Beale Spencer and critical legal analyst Nancy E. Dowd offer a fresh perspective on the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Noting that decades of flawed implementation have subverted Brown's great promise of educational equality for K–12 public school students, Spencer and Dowd propose a bold framework for a new interpretation of the Supreme Court decision, one that is inclusive, identity affirming, and culturally sensitive. 
   
   
   
  Even as they envision a more equitable future for US students, Spencer and Dowd look critically at the historical context of Brown v. Board of Education, examining the roots of the inequality and segregation the ruling attempted to address, the resistance that the resulting school integration met, and the legacy of attempts to enforce the ruling. They trace the ways in which post-Brown policies have reinforced race privilege for white students and race subordination for Black and marginalized students and show how structural and cultural racism in education have impeded youth development and caused collective identity injury for all. 
   
   
   
  Radical Brown offers suggestions for action to help legislators, school boards, scholars, and educators correct course and enact the decision's true intent—of safeguarding rights based on a common humanity.

  ‘Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.’ Louise Allen 
  When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children? 
  Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court. 
  What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care? 
  Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption? 
  The Family Court makes life-changing decisions about the most vulnerable children in England and Wales behind closed doors. It's an institution tasked with protecting the youngers most at risk, but how often does it make the right decisions? 
  In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection – in both its social work and legal aspects – often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children. 
  ‘A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn’t have to be this way so what can be done about it?’  – Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. 
  ‘This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children’s social worker and probation officer; it’s a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.’ – Joanna Hughes, former children’s social worker and probation officer. 
  Thornhill's In Harm’s Way is a compelling autobiography that delves into the personal experiences of those entangled in the courts and enforcement system. This non-fiction memoir is a biography of the system itself, highlighting its shortcomings and the urgent need for reform.
