Book excerpt: The approach of the year 2000 has made the study of apocalyptic movements trendy. But groups anticipating the end of the world will continue to predict Armageddon even after the calendar clicks to triple 0s. A Doomsday Reader brings together pronouncements, edicts, and scriptures written by prominent apocalyptic movements from a wide range of traditions and ideologies to offer an exceptional look into their belief systems. Focused on attaining paradise, millenarianism often anticipates great, cosmic change. While most think of religious belief as motivating such fervor, Daniels' comparative approach encompasses secular movements such as environmentalism and the Montana Freemen, and argues that such groups are often more political than religious in nature. The book includes documents from groups such as the Branch Davidians, the Order of the Solar Temple, Heaven's Gate, and white supremacists. Each document is preceded by a substantive introduction placing the movement and its beliefs in context. This important overview of contemporary politics of the End will remain a valuable resource long after the year 2000 has come and gone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling text explores family violence throughout the life course, from child abuse and neglect to intimate partner violence and elder abuse. Paying special attention to the social character and institutional causes of family violence, Hattery and Smith ask students to consider how social inequality, especially gender inequality, contributes to tensions and explosive tendencies in family settings. Students learn about individual preventative measures and are also invited to question the justice of our current social structure, with implications for social policy and reorganization. The second edition features a new chapter focusing on institutionalized violence affecting families of the military and police, as well as a discussion on sports and sexual abuse cases occurring on college campuses. Hattery and Smith also examine violence against women globally and relate this to violence in the United States. Unique coverage of same-sex and multicultural couples, as well as of theory and methods, make this text an essential element of any course considering the sociology of family violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the various roles of women in the criminal justice system against a social context in which women are oppressed. The text examines the following three roles of women in criminal justice: *Women as victims of crimes *Women as criminals convicted and sentenced for crimes *Women as workers in various agencies in the criminal justice system This text emphasizes content on gender and ethnic diversity and on the strengths of oppressed people, especially women of color. A wide range of issues are covered, including: the rate of early childhood sexual abuse, victimization in female inmates, priest abuse of girls, female inmate rape by male prison guard, and obstacles for women lawyers achieving partnerships in their firms. The authors provide a wealth of recent data drawn from both domestic and international human rights sources, as well as from personal interviews. The final portion of the text describes women's setbacks in entering the traditionally male dominated fields of policing, the law, and corrections. if people are given half a chance, they can draw on their own resources to heal from the past and build for the future. This empowerment approach is already prominent in the social work field and widely used in victim treatment programs for working with female offenders.
