Each of the original articles collected in this volume deals with one or more of the groups that traditionally have had problems attaining equality in the city.  These include blacks, white ethnics, Hispanics, women, the young, the elderly, the handicapped, and homosexuals. The introductory essay draws on early writings about the city as well as contemporary research to provide an overview of the meanings of equality within the literature of urban affairs. The other contributions explore various aspects of urban egalitarianism, such as political, social, juridical, and distributive equality, equality of access, and equality of authority, influence, power, and control.

This third edition provides thoroughly updated information on the status of women in all aspects of the U.S. criminal justice system, from incarcerated women to professionals in the legal, law enforcement, and correctional fields. While concentrating on the present, Clarice Feinman traces changes in theories, goals, practices, and policies concerning women of different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds--be they offenders, professionals, or reformers--since 1800, with a focus on why changes occurred. This unique text is an important tool for filling gaps in information, continuity, and understanding of issues affecting women in the up-hill battle to transform this male-dominated system.

This study examines various perspectives of the problem of hunger in the world. Beginning with a descriptive overview, it examines different explanations and remedies, concluding that poverty, and thus hunger, should be seen as the direct resurlt of the prevailing system for the creation of wealth. Thus, while our economic system produces many advantages for some people, it also produces many disadvantages for others. This book is centered on the social forces that generate chronic undernutrition and malnutrition. Those interested in finding cures for this world problem as well as those with an economic background, will realize the importance of this work and its focus.

This book chronicles the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) from its humble beginnings as a small group of country public utility managers, through its spectacular growth into the second-largest nuclear power project in the nation, to its final collapse into the greatest municipal default in history. The author provides comprehensive coverage of the complex interaction of corporate entities, personalities, decisions, and events that resulted in the rapid rise and fall of WPPSS and attempts to unsnarl the entanglement of confusion and myth that has shrouded the facts in this case.
