Book Description
With Harr and Hess's "legalese-free" text, you'll gain a firm understanding of our often-complex Constitution and criminal justice system. To ground you in the laws that shape the system and our society, the authors present you with a clearly organized, 'bird's-eye" view of the topic, supported by over 200 summarized cases that introduce you to the most influential and pertinent cases. Harr and Hess also devote considerable time to an exploration of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, relevant because of their application to issues relevant to criminal justice: reasonable search and seizure, double jeopardy, and testifying against oneself.

So-so CJ text.......2000-04-06
This text was ok, a lot better written than most of the criminal justice texts I've had to study from. There are the basic land mark cases and some other related cases for each amendment, though I would have liked to see more on the first and second.

Book Description
Showing informants in a variety of contexts provides a broader picture of them, and highlights the potential pitfalls associated with their use within our criminal justice system. Police depend on insiders to prosecute the perpetrators of many of the so-called "victimless" crimes like drug dealing, money laundering and political corruption. As victimless crimes have grown, so has the use of informants. Providing insights into law enforcement techniques as well as the Court's response to them, Bloom illuminates the pernicious legal ramifications that can result from the justice system's relationship to and use of informers. Law professors, criminologists, and law enforcement scholars will find Bloom's account of this much used and abused but under-reported aspect of America's law enforcement efforts both edifying and sobering. There are different kinds of informants. Some are used to infiltrate and destroy organized crime operations, and others, such as Linda Tripp, are used to investigate government officials. Informants are motivated by a variety of reasons, including financial gain, political power, elimination of competition, and avoiding criminal punishment. Some are even imaginary, fabricated by police to justify their activity. Bloom discusses each type of informer, grounding his commentary in real cases, some well known, others obscure. He then concludes by suggesting how potential and real abuses of the informant system can be curbed.

Alan Dershowitz, arguably one of the foremost legal thinkers of our time, gives an eye-opening account of the O.J. Simpson case and examines the larger issues of race, money, media, and gender that shape the criminal justice system in America.
Book Description
Alan Dershowitz, one of the foremost legal thinkers of our time, explores a series of questions raised by the most-watched criminal trial in American history. Through this brilliant, eye-opening account of the O.J. Simpson case, he exposes the realities of the criminal justice system of this country.
Here, Professor Dershowitz examines the issues and social forces -- media, money, gender, and race -- that shape the criminal justice system in America today. Among the fascinating questions raised:
- Was this really a case of circumstantial evidence?
- Did Simpson's wealth "buy" the acquittal?
- How could one of the longest trials in the history of America's judicial system produce a verdict after less than four hours of jury deliberation?
Reasonable Doubts is a work of lasting importance; it will force us to rethink our assumptions, not only about the case itself but about the strengths -- and weaknesses -- of the criminal justice system in America today.
This book is for the many thoughtful observers who sincerely and understandably believe that O.J. Simpson murdered Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, and that the jury's verdict of Not Guilty was therefore a miscarriage of justice...
Customer Reviews:
No doubt.......2005-01-03
This is just another lawyer capitalizing on the infamy of this trial to make a ton of money. He doesn't even try to convince of O.J.'s innocence because that would be impossible.
Regarding the two pieces of evidence the other reviewer mentioned 'proving' O.J.'s innocence, neither is pertinent. Neither was featured prominently by the defense, nor mentioned by the jurors as a reason for acquittal. The defense itself put the time of the murders at 10:45, rendering the 'red blood''evidence' as unimportant since their OWN time-line would have been made a lie of. The blood under the fingernails was degraded blood which can not be typed-but the fingers were found in a pool of her own blood making it extraordinarily likely that it was her own blood.
Consider the following:
--Simpson had a fresh cut on his finger and his blood was found in his home, in the Bronco and at Nicole's residence. If he hadn't had a cut big enough to bleed there would have been no case. A pretty extraordinary coincidence.
--Simpson had been given gloves, like the ones found, by Nicole and had been photographed wearing them. He said he had never owned those "ugly as# shoes" (Bruno Magli) but then a photo was found with him wearing those exact shoes. He had bought a knife the size of the one used, which was never found.
--The limo driver never saw a white Bronco before 11:00 despite going to both entrances. He rang the door bell many times but received no answer until almost 11:00.
--Kato heard a VERY loud bump behind his room at the very time Simpson was alleged to have been there, and at the exact place where the glove was found.
--MANY police officers were alleged to have been in on the 'plot', but neither the defense nor Simpson ever pushed for an investigation, nor did they put any effort into finding the 'real' killer.
--Furman, the supposed 'leader' of the plot, only arrived long after many other police officers, none of which saw a second glove at the crime scene.
This is only the tip of the iceberg but should be enough to convince any honest person. One of the real low points in U.S. legal history.
No Doubt on Not Guilty.......2000-04-29
The testimony of the two witnesses who cannot lie say that OJ Simpson is not guilty.
Blood and flesh were found under Nicole Brown's fingernails; the blood type did not match OJ (or Nicole or Ron). Ron Goldman walked to work, worked out, and practiced karate; his hands showed bruises from punching someone in the face or head more than once. OJ had no scratches or bruises on his hands, arms, face, or body: he could not have been a lone murderer.
The newspapers said that when the bodies were found after 12:15 AM their red blood was trickling down the sidewalk. The crime scene pictures printed in the National Enquirer showed the red blood. This says they were freshly killed, around 11:30, because their blood would be black and clotted if dead for over an hour (as in the Borden Murders).
The above physical evidence proves OJ Simpson to be innocent of these murders. Some say the 25 to 30 stab wounds on Ron Goldman suggest an emotional frenzy from a personal enemy, and Nicole Brown was the innocent bystander. The book "Killing Time" is the first and only objective book (arguments for both sides) to discuss all the evidence.
I hope that those who want to know the facts will read this, and reconsider any prejudgments that they made in June 1994.

this is a great book offering new insight into theoj case.......1999-06-09
I used this book to portray argue oj as a good person and to alter the image the media has of him in one of my english classes it was a great resource
Pathetic! Legalese that makes Alan D. sound like a fool........1997-07-20
The book is a bore. A Harvard law professor attemptsto rationalize how OJ couldn't be convicted of killing his wife and a third party. Alan attemptsto find a way reasonable doubts exist according tohis twisted view of the facts. After this case peoplehave stopped listening to his fictional ideas

Book Description
It has long been a fundamental norm of civilized legal systems that the administration of justice is conducted in full view of the public. This is regarded as particularly important in criminal cases, where the accused is traditionally viewed as possessing the right to a public trial. The rise of the modern media, especially television, has created the possibility of a global audience for high-profile cases. Increasingly, however, it is seen that the open conduct of legal proceedings is prejudicial to important values such as the privacy of parties, rehabilitative considerations, national security, commercial secrecy, and the need to safeguard witnesses and jurors from intimidation. In this topical new study, Joseph Jaconelli explores these issues and offers a critical examination, in the context of English Law, of the values served by open justice and the tensions that exist between it and other important interests.

Book Description
When the deplorable conditions in Alabama's prisons were revealed at trial in 1975, Judge Frank Johnson declared the prison system as a whole to constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment. He then issued an elaborate decree specifying improvements that must be made to satisfy constitutional standards. In this study, Larry W. Yackle describes the campaign to achieve prison reform in Alabama through constitutional litigation in the federal courts and surveys the process that produced Johnson's decree, and subsequent efforts to enforce his order in the face of bureaucratic inertia, administrative incompetence, and political demagogy. A decade later, the prisons showed significant physical improvements, but Alabama's resistance to progressive penal policies remained intact and impeded lasting change. Covering the lawyers' strategies, Judge Johnson's creative actions, and the machinations of state and federal officials including the Department of Justice under President Ronald Reagan, this book conveys the frustrating yet effective effort at prison litigation and offers important lessons for other proponents of penal reform across the country.

Invaluable!!!!.......2002-04-26
This book is a "must" for all Nutritionists dealing with aquatic species. It never leaves my side while working on formulations and reviewing pertinent data on nutrient requirements and nutritional management of various commercially important species.
Only bad comment is that it is 1993 and it is time for NRC to bring out a new edition. hint hint....

"Masters" of fish foods.......2002-09-29
If you're into aquarium fish, and I mean really, really into aquarium fish, this is probably the best book available about its subject. It's truly the classic in the field. Unfortunately, its demographic is rather small, being the people occupying that grey area between amatuers who are kind of interested in fishtanks and professional aquatic biologists, so it's out of print. Encyclopedia of Live Foods is an excellent read. Tons of information about breeding and using live fish foods. Spectacular.

Nutrient Requirements of Fish (Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals)
ASIN: 0412077019 |
Book Description
Aquaculture is now recognized as a viable and profitable enterprise worldwide. As aquaculture technology has evolved, the push toward higher yields and faster growth has involved the enhancement or replacement of natural foods with prepared diets. In many aquaculture operations today, feed accounts for more than one-half the variable operating cost. Therefore, knowledge of nutrition and practical feeding of fish is essential to successful aquaculture.
This book is not written exclusively for scientists but also for students, practicing nutritionists, and aquaculturists. It covers the known nutrient requirements and deficiency effects for different fishes, and digestion and metabolism of nutrients and energy. It discusses nutrient sources and preparation of practical and research feeds. It gives directions for conducting fish nutrition and feeding experiments. Feeding practices for salmonids, channel catfish, tilapias, shrimps and hybrid striped bass are presented.
Since the first edition of this book was printed, the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences has revised the nutrient requirements for fish. These revisions are in the present edition. Other additions to this revised edition are chapters on nutrition and fish health, and bioavailability of nutrients. Each original chapter has been meticulously revised and updated with new information. Aquaculture is a dynamic area and new technologies are being introduced continuously; therefore, some of the material discussed in this revised edition may become obsolete quickly. Nonetheless, the material presented has been thoughtfully selected and updated to make it of maximum use to persons whose interests range from general aquaculture to animal nutrition to feed manufacture.

Product Description
A unique resource that describes the ingredients included in an aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to environment and industry, and more!
Aquaculture is and will remain a major food producing sector in the future. To become more efficient and successful in the aquaculture industry, operations need to provide good nutrition.
Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is a unique source describing the ingredients included in fish and crustacean diets, their nutrient compositions, species profiles, suitability for species, processing methods, and impacts of alternative ingredients on the environment and to the aquaculture industry. World-renowned nutritionists and feed technologists explore practical ways for the aquaculture industry to expand and remain competitive, and discuss ways to develop less expensive alternative sources or protein.
Diet costs take up a huge chunk of operating expenditures, with fish meal being one of the most expensive ingredients in the aquaculture diet.
Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets provides detailed knowledge on the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal. This comprehensive, up-to-date text discusses the most widely used ingredients as well as various previously under-utilized ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future. The book is extensively referenced and includes numerous helpful tables to clearly present data.
Topics discussed in
Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets (for finfish and crustacean species) include:
farmed fish diet requirements
reduction of waste through diet formulation
poultry by-product meal
meat packing by-products
soybean protein foodstuffs
cottonseed meal
lupins
unconventional plant protein supplements
and much, much more!
Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is an essential resource for aquaculturists, nutritionists, feed formulators, feed mill operators, extension specialists, fish farmers and producers, ingredient suppliers, and policymakers.
Book Description
Aquaculture - the commercial farming of aquatic organisms in a controlled environment - requires formulated diets composed of various ingredients. This
Handbook aims for a better understanding of the food components that affect nutrition and feeding of cultured fishes and crustaceans. Proper utilisation of these foodstuffs can minimise environmental pollution and degradation.
An overview of the nutrition of aquatic animals precedes the discussion of each foodstuff. Traditional and non-traditional ingredients are considered in alphabetical order. To evaluate the value of each foodstuff, information is provided on its origin, economical significance, manufacture and processing followed by chemical, physiological and other properties. An important feature of the
Handbook is the discussion of the feeding value of each ingredient and recommendations for inclusion rates, legal aspects and precautions for their use. There are 52 chapters in which 144 individual ingredients are considered. Included for easier understanding of the text are 443 tables and 80 figures with approximately 1,500 references. The
Handbook is a guide for anyone interested in aquaculture.
