Samuel Walker

The law currently sees bodies as passive material upon which our values are inscribed rather than as an active part of the production of normative values. Rethinking current legal understandings of embodiment, this book proposes that peoples’ experiences of embodiment play an important role in the development of normative values and that the legal system should adopt an embodied understanding of all individuals. Examining perspectives from multiple sub-disciplines, the book develops an extended concept of embodiment from the physical body to the environment through discourse, activities and information. Samuel Walker argues that existing legal frameworks do not fairly represent the heterogeneity and multiplicity of individuals, demonstrating how non-dominant embodiments are marginalised by the imposition of dominant normative propositions. Walker provides a comprehensive approach to the analysis of bodies in legal contexts and puts forward an alternative model of legal subjects to the traditional judicial concept. Embodiment and the Law is greatly beneficial to students and academics in legal theory, gender and the law, health law, and law and society. Its combination of legal and medical viewpoints on the matter of bodies also makes this an important resource for practitioners in both law and medicine.

The first thorough study of the Justice Department's pattern or practice program, examining how it works and how court-imposed consent decrees implement needed reforms American society grapples with an enduring crisis in policing which is inextricably intertwined with the nation's deeply rooted racial issues. While there have been great strides in policing over the past five decades, the United States continues to wrestle with serious crime and strained relations between law enforcement and African American communities. In this comprehensive analysis, Samuel Walker, a leading figure in the study of criminal justice, focuses on the pivotal federal effort behind police reform—the US Justice Department's pattern or practice program. Created by Congress in 1994, this program gives the Justice Department the authority to investigate police departments that display patterns of unconstitutional practices, initiate civil suits, and secure court-enforced consent decrees that mandate reform. Walker meticulously examines the reforms dictated by these consent decrees, delves into the challenges of their implementation, and evaluates the progress made by various departments in enhancing police services. Despite various obstacles, the program has proven successful. The Future of Police Reform also considers the broader societal, political, and legal issues that profoundly influence reform efforts, such as an entrenched police subculture hindering change, the formidable power of police unions, and a lack of full support from local political leaders. In conclusion, Walker celebrates reform efforts across the country and foresees a network of local and state centers of activity fostering continued optimism for the future of police reform in the US. A collective effort holds the promise of genuine and lasting change.

What role does race play in the justice system? In THE COLOR OF JUSTICE: RACE, ETHNICITY, AND CRIME IN AMERICA, Sixth Edition, you'll read a data-driven and balanced account of criminal behavior patterns, victimization, immigration and crime, drug use, police practices, court processing and sentencing, executions under the death penalty, and the prison system. You'll examine all the angles, from gender to economic status to race and age as you uncover the truth about the criminal justice system. Get informed on this important issue with this enlightening text.

Samuel Walker's SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT CRIME, DRUGS, AND COMMUNITIES was one of the first books to challenge common misconceptions about crime, and the new Eighth Edition remains uniquely effective at doing so. Described as a "masterful critique" of American policies on everything from crime control, to guns, to drugs, this incisive book cuts through popular myths and political rhetoric while emphasizing current research and proven practice. The result is a lucid, research-based work that clearly reveals what does not work in crime policy while identifying shared characteristics of successful approaches, including carefully defined, narrowly focused, problem-oriented programs in policing and prosecution. This engaging text captures the full complexity of the administration of justice while providing readers with a clear sense of its key principles and general patterns.

This book is a history of the civil liberties records of American presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. It examines the full range of civil liberties issues: First Amendment rights of freedom of speech, press and assembly; due process; equal protection, including racial justice, women's rights, and lesbian and gay rights; privacy rights, including reproductive freedom; and national security issues. The book argues that presidents have not protected or advanced civil liberties, and that several have perpetrated some of the worst violations. Some Democratic presidents (Wilson and Roosevelt), moreover, have violated civil liberties as badly as some Republican presidents (Nixon and Bush). This is the first book to examine the full civil liberties records of each president (thus, placing a president's record on civil rights with his record on national security issues), and also to compare the performance on particular issues of all the presidents covered.
