Edwards K: Jail Bird

Jail Bird

Every interaction that justice system staff have with those involved in the justice system presents an opportunity to improve the rehabilitation process. This book is the first of its kind to advocate for educating all justice system workers in the CMC integrative approach, which suggests that building therapeutic relationships through a combination of client-centered therapy (C), motivational interviewing (M) and cognitive behavioral therapy (C) has the potential to improve client rehabilitation. This book examines racial disparities in the justice system; the psychological, sociological and criminological characteristics of those involved in the justice system; and the roles of the police, courts and corrections. The book also discusses the personality typologies of justice system staff, the personal power bases they may exhibit, the mental health training they receive, and the importance of building a therapeutic relationship with clients. Improving Criminal Justice Rehabilitation Through the Therapeutic Relationship: An Integratve Approach provides readers with the knowledge and the techniques needed to implement the easy to learn CMC method. It is intended to be a valuable resource for everyone working in the criminal justice system. The book discusses how the approach benefits clients, justice system staff, the justice system and society. It is unique in that it introduces criminal justice personnel to an essential psychological approach and techniques that can improve client rehabilitation, reduce recidivism, and be a positive step in criminal justice reform.

KinnPorsche (Novel)

Now, all Pete wants is to live a happy life with Vegas, Macau, and baby Venice.

Yet, it may be possible to secure that happiness for his little family… if he puts his trust in the mysterious master. Is it worth the risk for everything he and Pete want? And when Pete finds out Vegas has been sneaking around behind his back, will he be able to stomach getting his own hands dirty to help? The final volume!

Mick Hardin Novels

Master storyteller Chris Offutt’s acclaimed crime series has been praised by Ian Rankin as “righteous Kentucky noir with top notes of Daniel Woodrell and S. A. Cosby,” and in this breakneck new novel, sheriff Mick Hardin navigates the treacherous terrain of a town’s festering secrets and the violent forces who want to keep them hiddenLauded as a “masterclass in the craft of crime fiction” (CrimeReads), Chris Offutt’s beloved and critically acclaimed Mick Hardin series is an atmospheric, tightly crafted testament to Southern noir. The Reluctant Sheriff is a dark, bracing return to the hills of eastern Kentucky where secrets roil beneath the surface, and nothing and no one stays in the past for long.Mick Hardin never wanted to be sheriff. An ex-Army CID officer, he’s supposed to be retired—or he was until his sister, Linda, was shot in the line of duty, requiring him to step in as interim sheriff while she recovered. Now he’s stuck in Rocksalt, the place he was most hoping to escape.Back in uniform, Mick is chafing at the sudden dissolution of his retirement plans, wearied by the petty squabbles of Rocksalt’s townsfolk. It’s all business as usual, until the murder of a local bar owner draws an unlikely suspect who threatens to fan the flames of Mick’s past. When two more bodies turn up, seemingly unconnected to the first, Mick is forced to reckon with the mysterious circumstances of a case not so open-and-shut as everyone believes. Meanwhile, Linda is slowly healing when a familiar business tycoon with a vested interest in her returning as sheriff makes it difficult for her to remain on the sidelines.Unflinching and devilishly compulsive, The Reluctant Sheriff is an explosive thriller confirming Chris Offutt as a Southern writer of muscular prose and unrivaled talent.

A Mick Hardin Novel

The Reluctant Sheriff

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

End Game

Winner of the Balcones Prize in NonfictionLonglisted for the National Book Critics Circle award for NonfictionThe New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-nominated author of The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois and The Age of Phillis makes her nonfiction debut with this personal and thought-provoking work that explores the journeys and possibilities of Black women throughout American history and in contemporary times.Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is at a crossroads.Traditional African/Black American cultures present the crossroads as a place of simultaneous difficulty and possibility. In contemporary times, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the phrase “intersectionality” to explain the unique position of Black women in America. In many ways, they are at a third crossroads: attempting to fit into notions of femininity and respectability primarily assigned to White women, while inventing improvisational strategies to combat oppression.In Misbehaving at the Crossroads, Jeffers explores the emotional and historical tensions in Black women’s public lives and her own private life. She charts voyages of Black girlhood to womanhood and the currents buffeting these journeys, including the difficulties of racially gendered oppression, the challenges of documenting Black women’s ancestry; the adultification of Black girls; the irony of Black female respectability politics; the origins of Womanism/Black feminism; and resistance to White supremacy and patriarchy. As Jeffers shows with empathy and wisdom, naming difficult historical truths represents both Blues and transcendence, a crossroads that speaks.Necessary and sharply observed, provocative and humane, and full of the insight and brilliance that has characterized her poetry and fiction, Misbehaving at the Crossroads illustrates the life of one extraordinary Black woman—and her extraordinary foremothers.

Misbehaving at the Crossroads

The Right Call is for leaders who recognise that ethics is not an afterthought but the architecture of every meaningful decision. As choices become embedded in systems, policies, and technologies, the quality of an organisation's ethical reasoning shapes outcomes long before a dilemma becomes visible. This book shows how to strengthen that capability.It begins by translating the four major ethical traditions into decision tools leaders can use in real time. Virtue, duty, consequences, and care become practical ways of diagnosing tensions, clarifying what is at stake, and understanding how values guide judgement under pressure. The book then examines the organisational infrastructure of decision-making, showing how language, power, and informal norms shape what people call the right thing to do. Through diagnostic templates and research-based insights, readers learn to surface assumptions, identify cultural blind spots, and create conditions where integrity can scale. The INTEGRITI(TM) model, a disciplined nine-step approach to leading values-based conversations, provides a clear method for turning intent into action, navigating stakeholder tensions, and embedding integrity into everyday practice.This is a book for anyone responsible for choices that carry consequences.
