American policing is in crisis. The last decade witnessed a vast increase in police aggression, misconduct, and militarization, along with a corresponding reduction in transparency and accountability. Nowhere is this more noticeable and painful than in African American and other ethnic minority communities. Racism—from raw, individualized versions to insidious systemic examples—appears to be on the rise in our police departments. Overall, our police officers have grown more and more alienated from the people they’ve been hired to serve. In To Protect and To Serve, Norm Stamper offers new insights into the conditions that have created this crisis, reminding us that police in a democratic society belong to the people—and not the other way around.To Protect and To Serve also delivers a revolutionary new model for American law enforcement: the community-based police department. It calls for citizen participation in all aspects of police operations: policymaking, program development, crime fighting and service delivery, entry-level and ongoing education and training, oversight of police conduct, and, especially relevant to today’s challenges, joint community-police crisis management. Nothing will ever change until the system itself is radically restructured, and here Norm Stamper shows us how.

Dom Casmurro é um romance escrito por Machado de Assis, publicado em 1899 pela Livraria Garnier. Escrito para publicação em livro, o que ocorreu em 1900 - embora com data do ano anterior, ao contrário de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881) e Quincas Borba (1891), escritos antes em folhetins -, é considerado o terceiro romance da "trilogia realista" de Machado de Assis, ao lado desses outros dois. Seu personagem principal é Bento Santiago, o narrador da história que, contada em primeira pessoa, pretende "atar as duas pontas da vida",[2] ou seja, unir relatos desde sua mocidade até os dias em que está escrevendo o livro. Livro épico que devia estar na cabeceira de cama de todo estudande e amante de literatura.

Utilizing a transcript of a successful persuasive interview, the text examines which communication dynamics must occur to influence the behavior of another person; and how those dynamics are incorporated into the interview process.
