Vincent Schiraldi was New York City probation commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, supervising a system charged with monitoring 30,000 people on a daily basis. In Mass Supervision, he combines firsthand experience with deep research on the inadequately explored practices of probation and parole, to illustrate how these forms of state supervision have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have become instead, Schiraldi argues, a "recidivism trap" for people trying to lead productive lives in the wake of a criminal conviction.

Was the concept of multiple lives once taught among biblical peoples, but lost through the doctrinal biases of the members of the Second Council of Constantinople? If so, could this be the single potentially ...

Occuparsi del linguaggio pubblico e della sua qualità non è un lusso da intellettuali o una questione accademica. È un dovere cruciale dell'etica civile. Non è possibile pensare con chiarezza se non si è capaci di parlare e scrivere con chiarezza. Sono parole del filosofo John Searle, teorico del rapporto fra linguaggio e realtà istituzionali. Le società vengono costruite e si reggono essenzialmente su una premessa linguistica: sul fatto cioè che dire qualcosa comporti un impegno di verità e di correttezza nei confronti dei destinatari.
