Sinossi

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.

    All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
     
        
     
    Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
     
      
      
    Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.

    Psychopathy - A Personality...

    Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder characterized by a unique set of emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral traits. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit a profound lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and an inability to form deep emotional connections. They are skilled at deception and can appear charming and charismatic, which allows them to navigate social situations with ease while hiding their true nature. 
    One of the most defining traits of psychopathy is emotional detachment. Psychopaths do not experience emotions in the same way that most people do. While they may understand emotions on an intellectual level, they lack the ability to genuinely feel them, particularly emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. This emotional deficit makes them highly adept at exploiting others without any sense of moral conflict. They can feign emotions convincingly, using charm and flattery to manipulate those around them for personal gain. 
    Manipulativeness is another hallmark of psychopathy. Psychopaths use deception and persuasion to control others, often without their victims realizing it. They are highly strategic and will adjust their behavior based on what benefits them the most in a given situation. Because they lack empathy, they do not hesitate to lie, cheat, or deceive if it serves their interests.
