Summary

Parole Board Decisions examines the complex role of parole boards within the criminal justice system, focusing on how they balance public safety with the potential for rehabilitation. Parole boards face the difficult task of evaluating an individual's risk of recidivism and potential for successful reintegration into society. One key aspect explored is the influence of factors beyond objective risk assessment on parole board decisions, which can lead to inconsistencies in outcomes. The book delves into the historical context of parole, tracing its evolution and how societal changes have shaped current practices. It highlights how parole decisions impact prison populations and the reintegration prospects of formerly incarcerated individuals. Through empirical data, case studies, and statistical analyses, the book reveals patterns and disparities in parole outcomes across different states.

The book's approach involves understanding the core concepts of parole and risk assessment, analyzing the factors that influence parole board decisions, and discussing policy recommendations. Ultimately, Parole Board Decisions argues for greater transparency and standardized evaluation metrics in the parole process. It aims to stimulate dialogue on improving the criminal justice system by addressing the political pressures and personal biases that can influence parole board decisions. The book progresses through an introduction of parole concepts, analysis of influencing factors, and culminates in policy recommendations for safer communities.

American Grift - The Politically...

Stuart M. Williams

Palliative Parasites: A Field Guide to the Top of the Grifting Food Chain
For decades, a vast middle layer of professional symptom-managers — NGOs, bureaucrats, consultants, academics, and nonprofit lifers — has turned human misery into one of the most reliable, risk-free grifts in history. They have turned empathy into an asset class and compassion into a line item in a grant proposal.
These Palliative Parasites (PPs) don't solve problems. They manage them. Perpetually. They speak fluent Scrabble Babble, trade in virtue signaling, and specialize in the Infinite In-Between - the zone where problems are never allowed to die and never actually get solved.
With one hand they demonize the top, with the other they bribe the bottom, and in between they skim their fat 90% cut — trillions of dollars in grants, donations, and taxpayer money that rarely reaches the sidewalk. From California's $24+ billion homelessness black hole to the Mississippi TANF diversion scandal, from the trans-in-women’s-sports circus to the trillion-dollar DEI industrial complex, this book names the players, follows the money with zero mercy, and exposes the brutal Failure Paradox, i.e., the more things fail, the more profitable the failure becomes for the people paid to “fix” it.
But this is not just another rant against the system. Stuart M. Williams offers a genuine cure. The Sovereign OS is the world's first human and community-centric socioeconomic operating system that turns Non-Performing Assets into Performing Assets. Sovereign OS has already delivered measurable results in Charleston, SC and Muncie, IN, and it has changed the lives of thousands of people.
It is time to flush out the choke points that have been hiding in plain sight for decades. This is where it begins.

Principia Ethica

G. E. Moore

Principia Ethica, written in 1903, was a groundbreaking work of moral philosophy. Its author, G.E. Moore, questioned a fundamental pillar of ethics—specifically, what the definition of "good" is. As influential now as it was in its own time-period, Principia Ethica represented an advance in human thinking and is a worthy work for current and future generations to study to gain a better understanding of values and ethics.

Social Entrepreneurship in...

Philipp Kenel

Public and political interest in social entrepreneurship (SE) is increasing while it remains a contested and ambiguous concept. Philipp Kenel traces the popular media representation of SE in Germany over time (1999—2021), making an important empirical contribution to the sociological and political understanding of the phenomenon. He shows that until 2008, SE was mainly understood as a reform of the welfare infrastructure (including public and non-profit institutions). From 2009, SE was increasingly conceptualised as part of the economy, while sometimes challenging and other times reaffirming mainstream economic logics. More recently, in somewhat competing perspectives, SE has been framed as part of the ›start-up‹ world or as a force for deeper social and ecological transformation.
