  In Their Names - The Untold...

  When twenty-six-year-old recent college graduate Aswad Thomas was days away from starting a professional basketball career in 2009, he was shot twice while buying juice at a convenience store. The trauma left him in excruciating pain, with mounting medical debt, and struggling to cope with deep anxiety and fear. That was the same year the national incarceration rate peaked. Yet, despite thousands of new tough-on-crime policies and billions of new dollars pumped into "justice," Aswad never received victim compensation, support, or even basic levels of concern. In the name of victims, justice bureaucracies ballooned while most victims remained on their own. 
   
   
   
  In In Their Names, Lenore Anderson offers a close look at how the political call to help victims in the 1980s morphed into a demand for bigger bureaucracies and more incarceration, and cemented the long-standing chasm that exists between most victims and the justice system. She argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need, including addressing their trauma, which is a leading cause of subsequent violent crime. 
   
   
   
  A solutions-oriented, paradigm-shifting book, In Their Names argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors.

  Today, safeguarding nation-states, organizations, and citizens has less to do with security (cyber and non-cyber) but has everything to do with Survivability.We are now in the 'Era of the Unprecedented': since 2010, Geo-Poli-Cyber™ warfare has been increasing in intensity. The motivation of its perpetrators is often driven by political, ideological, ‘religious’ and extremist objectives, rather than financial gain. Many top decision makers and citizens are unaware of this reality or the implications it has on their sovereignties, businesses, lives and livelihoods, and most do not know how to mitigate it. This trend has seen governments and businesses constantly breached by high-impact cyberattacks, confirming the ineptitude of best in class cyber security strategies, solutions, policies and procedures. Yet, they continue implementing what they know is failing and ineffective. 
  The 2020 pandemic revealed a fundamental flaw in many Western democratic nations; their failure to appropriately prepare for a threat they knew was coming and the cost of this in human lives. This pandemic has shed light on the weaknesses of the current international order and economic, political, legal and democratic models and structures that enable it. It has also called into question the capacity of existing cyber security protocols and designs to protect nations, companies and citizens. The question remains: are governments ready for cyber terrorism, election meddling, fake news and the malicious use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing? How about them all happening at the same time? Survivability provides potential answers to this and other pressing concerns.

  This beloved bestseller-over 180,000 copies sold-has helped caregivers worldwide keep themselves emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and physically healthy in the face of the sometimes overwhelming traumas they confront every day. 
   
  A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll taken on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other living things, and the planet itself. 
   
  In Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way. Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, that enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to illustrate her points. 
   
  "We can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve," Lipsky writes. "Taking care of ourselves while taking care of others allows us to contribute to our societies with such impact that we will leave a legacy informed by our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of burdened by our struggles and despair."
