"For a tough-guy book about tough guys, this is a work of almost unerring tenderness. If its subtitle promises "redemption," the book itself delivers something more honest: stories about people broken by powers larger than they are and who nonetheless find the will to fight on." – Ben Ehrenreich, The New York Times Book Review

Author: Jesse Katz

A searing account of gang violence and its consequences . . . Macedo’s grim story, expertly documented by Katz, cries for a documentary series to follow his fortunes as, after years in prison, he strives for redemption. A masterful work of true crime-and, to be sure, true punishment. Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA’s most predatory gangs, the Columbia Lil Cycos-so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor, Francisco Clemente, had been refusing to give in to the gang’s shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit, accidentally killing a newborn instead.

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download Marion Bower, "The Challenges of Working with Child Sexual Exploitation and How a Psychoanalytic Understanding Can Help"
English | ISBN: 036789663X | 2024 | 190 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Sexual exploitation is becoming endemic in our society. It involves victims being coerced to enter abusive sexual relationships with individuals or gangs. It can occur with children from care homes – or from more privileged backgrounds. Sexual exploitation is so addictive that it is really difficult to extract the victims. This is the first book that we are aware of that examines exploitation using a psychoanalytic framework which makes the behaviour and motives of victims and, in some cases, exploiters comprehensible. The book looks at a range of situations from care homes to refugee camps and elite schools.
