"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

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.

The Challenges of Working with Child Sexual Exploitation and How a Psychoanalytic Understanding Can Help


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.

Science, Gender and the Exploitation of Animals in Britain Since 1945


Free Download Catherine Duxbury, "Science, Gender and the Exploitation of Animals in Britain Since 1945 "
English | ISBN: 1138617539 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This book offers an historical analysis of the culture of animal-dependent science in Britain from 1945 to the present, exploring key areas of animal experimentation such as warfare, medical science and law from a gendered perspective. Questioning the nature of knowledge production in this area, and how animal experimentation intersects with broader cultural norms and values concerning sex, and gender, it examines the impact of contemporary forms of capitalism on animal dependent science, its historical trajectory and gendered configuration. With close attention to the broad social context from the creation of the Welfare State and the loss of Empire, to the emergence of neoliberalism in the 1980s and its present day omnipotent manifestation, the author asks how animal experimentation and the use of nonhuman animals in specific areas of science is gendered and has implications for women. Drawing on a variety of sociological, philosophical, feminist and historical theories and engaging with a wealth of primary and secondary materials of scientific research of the time,
