Criminal The Truth About Why People Do Bad Things - Tom Gash

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - "As enlightening about crime in modern society as any book I have read" The Times "A richly researched, supremely sane discussion of the causes of and ways of preventing crime. From bobbies on the beat (they don"t reduce crime), to the idea that "prison works" (it doesn"t), Gash"s important book may well change your attitude to criminality and the justice system" Guardian There are two myths about crime. In one, the criminal act is a selfish choice, and tough punishment the only solution. In the other, the system is at fault, and perpetrators will change only when society reforms. Both these narratives are wrong. Interweaving conversations and stories of crime with findings from the latest research, Tom Gash dispels the myths that inform our views of crime, from the widespread misconception that poverty causes crime, to the belief that tough sentencing reduces it. He examines the origins of criminal behaviour, the ebb and flow of crime across the last century, and the effectiveness of various government crack-downs - and in doing so reveals that crime is both less rational and much easier to reduce than many believe. Can we suspend our knee-jerk reactions, let go of cherished myths and embrace the truth about crime" Nazwa - Criminal The Truth About Why People Do Bad Things Autor - Tom Gash Oprawa - Miękka Wydawca - Penguin Books Kod ISBN - 9780241960431 Kod EAN - 9780241960431 Rok wydania - 2017 Język - angielski Format - 12.8x19.7 Ilość stron - 352 Podatek VAT - 5% Premiera - 2017-04-18

Grumpy Cat Chronicle Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Part of a larger publishing program featuring Grumpy Cat, the Grumpy Cat book delivers a healthy dose of Grumpy Cat's bad attitude to her growing number of super-fans. In the style of the hugely popular meme that has grown up around Grumpy Cat, the book will offer a tour of Grumpy Cat's least favourite things (that is, everything) along with her scathing commentary throughout. The book will include cameos by some of the other animals in her life--a friendly dog, her brother, Pokey and other hapless bystanders who wither when faced with her epic frown. Think 'Blue Day' book without the positive spin, or 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day' but without the upbeat ending. The perfect gift for someone who's having a bad day (or year) and needs some cheering up (or commiseration), this grumpy little book is also a natural self-buy for the thousands who appreciate this cat's hilarious expression and ill humour toward all.

Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there's a better way. "Lively, accessible and provocative ...read this book". (Sunday Times). "A witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy".("Observer"). "The new kid on the economics block...Chang's iconoclastic attitude has won him fans".
