Sinopsis

Probation Versus Incarceration explores the pivotal question of how sentencing decisions are made in the American legal system, specifically examining the choice between probation and incarceration for convicted offenders. This book offers a detailed look into the factors influencing these decisions, highlighting that sentencing should balance individual rehabilitation potential with community safety. For example, it challenges the automatic assumption that incarceration is always the best response to criminal behavior, presenting probation as a potentially more effective, cost-efficient alternative when implemented correctly.

 
The book progresses by first defining and contrasting probation and incarceration, detailing probation conditions like regular meetings and drug testing, versus the realities of prison life. It then analyzes legal and extralegal factors influencing sentencing, such as case law, victim impact statements, and defendant backgrounds.

 
Finally, it examines the effectiveness of each approach in reducing recidivism and promoting reintegration. This book aims to move past simplistic "tough on crime" rhetoric, advocating for evidence-based policies and a more nuanced understanding of the long-term consequences associated with different penalties within the criminal justice system.

Death Row at Truro - The...

Geoff Plunkett

Innocent young women, a sadistic serial killing duo and … the true story as revealed by the lead detective. 
 
Australia’s most prolific serial sexual killers met in prison. They were a complete contrast: Christopher Worrell, the charismatic psychopathic youngster; and James Miller, the older and socially awkward loner. For Miller, it was love at first sight. They developed an ominous sexual bond – proving that opposites can attract – and then kill. 
 
Once free, the inseparable tag team slayed as many people as notorious Australian serial killer Ivan Milat. Whereas Milat took a year to murder seven victims, the duo achieved the same in seven short weeks … the last four killed in only six days. 
The frenzied carnage only stopped when Worrell died in a car accident. So ended the life of Australia’s own BTK. Like America’s Dennis Radar, Worrell bound, tortured and killed – because he could. 
 
Revealed for the first time is the full account of the victims, the serial killers and the lead detective, a relentless investigator who broke the silence of the surviving murderer, the only person who knew the full truth … But was Miller’s truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Jesse James - The American...

Kelly Mass

Jesse Woodson James is an iconic figure in American history, often romanticized as a daring bank and train robber, a guerrilla fighter, and the notorious leader of the James–Younger Gang. Born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County, Missouri, Jesse grew up in a region known as "Little Dixie," where the culture and values were deeply rooted in Southern traditions. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping his identity and allegiances throughout his life. 
During the American Civil War, James, along with his older brother Frank, became embroiled in the conflict, aligning themselves with pro-Confederate guerrillas known as "bushwhackers." Operating primarily in Missouri and Kansas, these groups were notorious for their brutal tactics against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists. The brothers became followers of the infamous William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson, gaining notoriety for their involvement in violent acts, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864, where numerous Union soldiers and civilians lost their lives in a bloody confrontation.

The California Kid - From USC...

Alex Cody Foster, Owen Hanson

You've read the shocking one-sided tale of international drug kingpin Owen Hanson in Rolling Stone, VICE, and the LA Times—but now he's ready to tell his side of the story. 
 
 
 
A surfer kid from Redondo Beach, California, Owen Hanson was still in his twenties when he found himself the leader of a multi-million-dollar criminal empire. What began as an attempt to fit in with the rich kids at the University of Southern California soon grew into gambling and loan sharking, which then opened the door to drug trafficking and money laundering. Hanson wasn't just involved in this stuff—he excelled at it. Living the fast-paced lifestyle of the rich and famous, Hanson felt he was finally making his father proud, never mind the questionable ethics and obvious danger of it all. But with the cartel, a serious drug-abuse problem, and the pursuit of the FBI all threatening to overtake him, it wouldn't be long before his lifestyle caught up with him. 
 
 
 
The California Kid follows Owen from his roots as a USC star athlete from a broken home, where his idolization of the rich and famous began, to his descent down a dangerous path where he would stop at nothing to earn the love and acceptance of his absent mother and the respect of his father. The story that follows is almost too wild to believe—but Owen bears the twenty-one-year sentence to prove it.
