Unlike others, this guide is not marketed to unnecessarily scare people into buying a product. Those who are facing prison time have already been traumatized enough by the feds. Here the author walks you past every pitfall and highlights the many positive aspects as well. The answers provided will eliminate the mysteries that lie before you. This information is certain to give you the comfort and self-confidence you need. Numerous tips, warnings, and special notes will allow you to navigate your voyage like an old salt.The author has a degree in education and spent four years tirelessly researching this material. His old fashion journalistic method involved relentless mining of technical details, and countless interviews with inmates and staff from across the country. All of the confusing and stressful stuff has been converted into easy to understand language. Rather than offer narrow opinions a real effort was made to back up each point with statistics, legal proof, and factual copy. Whenever possible (more often than you might expect) situations are illustrated which will enable you to turn your nightmare into an enriching, and even fun, experience.In addition to answers to 145 essential questions about federal prison, Mad Dog's Guide To Club Fed also contains: * The Offense Severity Scale* Important websites and mailing addresses* A Good Time Credit Chart (time off for good behavior)* Prison transfer codes and descriptions* Complete descriptions of prison types and security levels* Sentencing Table with step-by step explanations* Point (inmate status) calculation charts with step-by step explanations* Gun offenses and their sentence lengths* Immigration offenses and their sentence lengths* Drug Quantity Table and sentence lengths* Drug offender definitions with sentence lengths* Standard prison law library books* Standard legal form descriptions* Listing of Program Statements (regulations) codes and descriptions* Standard visitation and telephone policies* List of Prohibited Acts and Recommended Disciplines* Fine Table* List of typical commissary goods and prices including items from both male and female facilities* Listing of halfway house policies and rules* Complete listing of federal institutions; addresses, phone numbers, security levels, inmate populations and available drug programs (for a one year sentence reduction)

This study examines prison sexual violence in adult and juvenile New York State prisons. To an inmate, the formal structure of a prison – its planned work, recreation, and rehabilitation – may be a thin veneer. The ‘real’ world is the social environment, created by the convict community, and sexual violence is a traditional part of that environment. A range of sexual behaviors, all perceived as threatening and offensive by the targets of aggressors were examined, with discussion on the nature of the overture, the physical and verbal response of the target, his thoughts and feelings, the living patterns resulting from sexual pressure, and how peers and staff react. In this population, sexual aggression is shown to be racially-based: most aggressors were black, and most victims were white, of a slighter build than the aggressor, and perceived as having feminine physical and personality characteristics. About half of the 152 incidents examined involved physical violence, half initiated by aggressors coercing targets; the rest from targets reacting to threats. Both aggressors and targets tended to come from outside and prison social subcultures which used aggression as a primary means of relieving frustration and irritation. After fights, targets reported that aggressors left them alone, that they moved around the prison with less fear, felt better about themselves, and had a higher status among other prisoners. Sexual attacks increased fear, and victims continued to be affected emotionally months after the event. Prison staff did not usually intervene directly in the incidents, nor is there evidence that such intervention would be effective in reducing the problem. The author recommends the provision of program alternatives such as the Alternatives to Violence (AVP) and other conflict resolutions programs. (NCJRS, modified).

Crime analysis has become an increasingly important part of policing and crime prevention, and thousands of specialist crime analysts are now employed by police forces worldwide. This is the first book to set out the principles and practice of crime analysis, and is designed to be used both by crime analysts themselves, by those responsible for the training of crime analysts and teaching its principles, and those teaching this subject as part of broader policing and criminal justice courses. The particular focus of this book is on the adoption of a problem solving approach, showing how crime analysis can be used and developed to support a problem oriented policing approach – based on the idea that the police should concentrate on identifying patterns of crime and anticipating crimes rather than just reacting to crimes once they have been committed. In his foreword to this book, Nick Ross, presenter of BBC Crime Watch, argues passionately that crime analysts are 'the new face of policing', and have a crucial part to play in the increasingly sophisticated police response to crime and its approach to crime prevention – 'You are the brains, the expert, the specialist, the boffin.'
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
