Synopses & Reviews
This book demonstrates how, when the processing of arrests affects police officers' personal lives, they adapt their arrest-making behavior to accommodate self-interest. Based on a survey of over five hundred New York Police Department patrol officers, the book assesses how overtime need, post-work commitments, aversion to arrest processing, and other personal concerns affect officers' decisions whether or not to make an arrest. Largely ignored in previous research, these factors must be taken into account as they significantly affect arrest behavior.
Synopsis
Samuel Richardson's New Nation focuses on four novels, taking new and varied approaches in analyzing the construct of native English virtue and the role of the domestic sphere within eighteenth-century England. Ewha Chung not only examines Richardson's use of such themes but also links the novels to historical developments that inevitably heightened the sense of English superiority so crucial to the age of imperialism. The powerful influence of Richardson's literary nationalism inspired eighteenth-century readers in England and Europe. This work investigates the phenomenal investment in Richardson's characters and demonstrates beyond question the far-reaching impact of his work.
