  • Policing Gun Violence - Strategic Reforms for Controlling Our Most Pressing Crime Problem - cover

    Policing Gun Violence -...

    In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
     
     
     
    How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
     
     
     
    Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.

    What you are about to hear is life changing. It will shock you and cause fear. The way you look at life will change. You may think some of it is from the realm of science fiction. You may not. The fact is this, what you are about to hear is the truth. 
     
    It is time to forget about the illuminati or the Freemasons. Time to drop the ideas of a global and all powerful secret society. Your political leaders are not those in control. The world's most powerful religions, businesses and military all fade into insignificance when compared to the real truth about the manipulation of mankind on planet earth. 
     
    We have in fact created our own ultimate nightmare and things are about to get a lot worse. We will all have one decision to make. We either do as we are told, or we will perish. This is your future. It is a future so far removed from the lives of our ancestors that it can only be called unnatural. 
     
    In all of our attempts to free ourselves from the constraints of a chaotic mind, we have in fact created a multi-headed monster that is about to bite off our heads and replace them with heads of its own. You will no longer be human. No longer free. You will be controlled by the most powerful, complex and terrifying system man could ever imagine into existence.

  • Phenomenology of Productive Imagination: Embodiment Language Subjectivity - cover

    Phenomenology of Productive...

    Although productive imagination has played a highly significant role in (post-) Kantian philosophy, there have been very few book-length studies explicitly dedicated to its analysis. 
    
    In his new book, Saulius Geniusas develops a phenomenology of productive imagination while relying on those resources that we come across in Edmund Husserl’s, Max Scheler’s, Martin Heidegger’s, Ernst Cassirer’s, Miki Kiyoshi’s, Jean-Paul Sartre’s, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s, and Paul Ricoeur’s writings, while also engaging in present-day philosophical discussions of the imagination. Investigating the relation between imagination and embodiment, affectivity, perception, language, selfhood, and intersubjectivity, the book provides a phenomenological conception of productive imagination, which is committed to basic phenomenological principles and which is sensitive to how productive imagination has been conceptualized in the history of phenomenology. 
    
    Against such a background, Geniusas develops a new conception of productive imagination: It is a basic modality of intentionality that indirectly shapes the human experience of the world by forming the contours of action, intuition, knowledge, and understanding. It is not so much a blind and indispensable function of the soul, but an art concealed in the body, for it springs out of instincts, drives, desires, and needs. 
    
    The author demonstrates unexpected ways in which phenomenology of productive imagination enriches our understanding of embodied subjectivity.
