Book excerpt: Argues that people of all sexual orientations are hurt by being "straight", torn from their full human potential, and squeezed into molds that support our dominant institutions. Human relationships with either sex are incomplete and unfulfilling. Chapters on "How to be straight" and "How to be gay" describe the roles heterosexual and non-heterosexual people are conditioned to live in order to maintain this status quo.--Back cover.

Book excerpt: This study examines why, in the face of data that show its ineffectiveness, the "Scared Straight" approach to delinquency prevention continues to be used in some jurisdictions. The author's 1982 edition examined and critiqued the Scared Straight project at New Jersey's Rahway State Prison. It identified the program as unable to deal with juvenile delinquency; associated it with a pattern of failure in other efforts to deal with juvenile delinquency; and linked these to a futile but persistent quest for simple remedies or cure-alls. This pattern was referred to as the "panacea phenomenon". This new edition updates the evidence and extends the discussion. The panacea phenomenon is identified as a myth, having the function of offering simple explanations for complex, often otherwise unexplainable issues and problems. The original Scared Straight case study is then reviewed and evidence of Scared Straight's performance since 1982 presented. A description of Norway's Ullersmo project, which operated from 1992 to 1996 and was based on U.S. models, is offered as an international example of the panacea phenomenon in action. The book concludes that Scared Straight and programs like it, survive despite evidence that they do not work because they are harmonious with certain deeply held beliefs about crime, punishment, and human behavior. One such belief -- that fear of consequences sustains behavioral change -- is a cornerstone of the Scared Straight program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author critiques the American obsession with imprisonment as punishment, calling it "retributive degradation" of the incarcerated. His analysis draws on both salient empirical data and material from a variety of disciplines - social history, anthropology, law and penal theory, philosophy of religion - as he uncovers the devastating social consequences (both direct and collateral) of imprisonment on such a large, unprecedented scale. The book develops a Christian social ethics of "good punishment" embodied as a politics of "healing memories" and "ontological intimacy"
