  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.

  In How Fascism Works (2018), Jason Stanley explores how fascist politicians reach power, the conditions they thrive in, and the beliefs that most fascist movements are built upon. Stanley examines how fascism distorts nationalism, employs propaganda and lies, demeans education, and preys on minorities. Fascist movements may take different nationalist forms, but they share the same goal: to turn a liberty-focused nation into one where they make all the rules.

  Conflict in cyberspace is not a new phenomenon, but the legality of hostile cyber activity at a state level remains imperfectly defined. While the United States and its allies are in general agreement on the legal status of conflict in cyberspace, China, Russia, and a number of like-minded nations have an entirely different concept of the applicability of international law to cyberspace. This e-book presents the opposed views of USA and Russia on cyber security. Ultimately, you can find out from the official report how cyber-attack can jeopardize national security in the latest attack performed by the Russian hackers in order to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections.

  The Communist Manifesto, originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) is a short 1848 book written by the German Marxist political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognised as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms. 
  The book contains Marx and Engels' Marxist theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then eventually communism.

  El laboratorio constitucional...

  El propósito de este volumen es presentar una reflexión de conjunto sobre el primer constitucionalismo iberoamericano desplegado en las décadas iniciales del siglo XIX. No se trata de una "historia constitucional", sino, más bien, de una historia política de las disputas que provocaron las crisis de las monarquías ibéricas y de las respuestas constitucionales sucedidas en las diversas regiones del orbe iberoamericano. Los "casos" tratados se concentran en tres nudos problemáticos fundamentales: soberanía, representación política y territorio. A partir de estos ejes y de las diversas articulaciones que expresan en el campo constitucional, los autores rescatan las evidentes y significativas transformaciones ocurridas en los idiomas políticos y constitucionales, así como las asimilaciones, superposiciones y tensiones entre conceptos y nuevos y viejos principios. El resultado refleja el formidable dinamismo que asumió ese gran laboratorio de experimentación constitucional conformado por los dos grandes conglomerados territoriales bioceánicos (lusitano e hispánico) a comienzos del siglo XIX.

  Here is the ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the non-name Anonymous, by the writer the Huffington Post says "knows all of [Anonymous's] deepest, darkest secrets."Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption. She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside-outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book.The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters-such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu-emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little-understood facets of culture in the Internet age.
