Based on a two-year research project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), this book explores why many of those involved in racially motivated crime seem to be struggling to cope with economic, cultural and emotional losses in their own lives. Drawing on in-depth biographical interviews with perpetrators of racist crimes and focus group discussions with ordinary people living in the same communities, the book explores why it is that some people, and not others, feel inclined to attack immigrants and minority ethnic groups. The relationships between ordinary racism, racial harassment and the politics of the British National Party are also explored, as are the enduring impacts of deindustrialisation, economic failure and immigration on white working class communities. The book assesses the legacy of New Labour policy on community cohesion, hate crime and respect in terms of its impact on racist attitudes and racist incidents, and explores how it is that racist attacks, including racist murders, continue to happen.

This book examines the principles and practice of real estate mortgages in an easily accessible text referenced to all the Australian States. It specifically deals with the major theoretical and practical aspects of the land mortgage, including vitiating factors in formation, mortgagees' powers and duties and mortgagors' rights - both statutory and other - as well as assignment, insurance and discharge. It focuses exclusively on real estate mortgages and provides a thorough account of the law through analysis of the plethora of court decisions and statutory provisions in this area. Duncan and Dixon analyse the substance of the mortgage transaction from creation through to rights of enforcement. In its detailed consideration of the rights and obligations of mortgagors and mortgagees, it covers topics such as priorities and tacking, insurance, variation and assignment, rights of discharge, entry into possession, foreclosure and power of sale. In addition, the book contains a separate chapter on factors that may affect the validity and enforcement of a mortgage, together with separate consideration of a mortgagee's right to enforce a guarantee provided on behalf of a mortgagor, and the rights and liabilities associated with a receivership regime initiated by a mortgagee. Key changes in this edition concern:  the effects of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) on priorities between mortgagees and security interest holders with respect to fixtures; the impact of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth) and the National Credit Code, and the new ASIC Act provisions relating to unfair contracts; the numerous recent decisions on forged mortgages; statutory changes in New South Wales and Queensland with respect to the execution of mortgages and mortgagees' obligations when exercising power of sale; additional material on "all monies" clauses.

Last Days of Last Island: The Hurricane of 1856, Louisiana's First Great Storm

History

University of Louisiana

The 1856 summer season was like so many that had come before – uneventful, idyllic.  The South’s newest and most popular watering spot was a microcosm of Louisiana’s antebellum economic and social structure.  More than four hundred vacationers—wealthy sugar planters, powerful politicians, their families, friends and servants—had come to the island to escape the hot August sun.  The waters of the Gulf were cool, its breezes fresh.  Life was good. On the horizon, however, a massive cloud formation was about to tell a much different story.  On that fateful day, August 10th 1856, a devastating Category Four hurricane destroyed Last Island.  The chaos and confusion that initially reigned gave way in time to a generation of Civil War and Reconstruction.  After more than one hundred and fifty years—and the devastation of Katrina—the story remains layered with myths.  Last Days of Last Island removes that shroud and presents the first comprehensive account of the hurricane of 1856, “Louisiana’s first great storm.”

Key questions in contemporary South African criminology are examined in these essays, including Why is crime such a persistent problem? and How have crime control practices altered in response to the challenges of the post-apartheid era?. Teachers, researchers, policy advisors, and practitioners challenge some of the received wisdom re-emerging in a discipline in danger of both forgetting its own history, and of misunderstanding the role of critical social science in a democratic South Africa.
