Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Questions about religions and religious institutions have changed dramatically since they first arose many years ago. In the beginning of the twenty-first century the link of religion with extreme ideologies captures our attention. Such questions have been the focus of a steadily growing number of books. What does Assertive Religion add to the debate?Emanuel de Kadt discusses the relationship of religion to wider social issues such as human rights and multiculturalism. He traces the growth during the religious revival over the past decades of assertive and even coercive forms of religion notably but not exclusively fundamentalist varieties. He deals with these questions as they relate to the three major Abrahamic religions thereby addressing a readership wider than that made up of persons interested exclusively in Judaism Christianity or Islam. The author takes on issues such as the effects of the Jewishness of Israel on the rights of Palestinians; the consequences of the centralized authority structure of the Roman Catholic Church; and the implications of the failure of reform-oriented Muslims to make their voices heard in an organized Islamic reform movement. He is even-handed focusing on both positive and negative features of each religious perspective though he does have a clear viewpoint. Assertive Religion adds to increasingly sharp political discussions on issues arising out of religion. It is a must read for anyone interested in how religion is shaping the world of tomorrow. | Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual foods. Whereas spoilage can usually be determined through a simple organoleptic assessment the judgment of whether a food is fit for human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards many of which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead the inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling information to evaluate the potential health risk. Adulteration of foods is also becoming an increasing problem and the complexity of the food supply chain requires an understanding of risk points to allow targeted inspection and assessment. Food Safety and Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and describes common hazards associated with each using published peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk. It is a practical textbook designed to support the role of food inspection in a modern food industry. There are seven chapters looking at specific aspects of food safety including a chapter on fraud and adulteration. This book summarises relevant published research to provide a scientific context for specific food safety issues and is an essential read for anyone interested in becoming a food inspector. | Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn’t) in Reducing Recidivism offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Experts Latessa Johnson and Koetzle translate the research and findings about what works and doesn’t work in reducing recidivism into understandable concepts and terms presenting them in a way that illustrates the value of research to practice. Over the last several decades research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders but it is clear that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Offenders vary by gender age crime type and/or addictions to name but a few ways and these individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally issues such as leadership quality of staff and evaluation efforts affect the quality and delivery of treatment services. While other texts have addressed issues regarding treatment in corrections this text is unique in that it not only discusses the research on what works but also addresses the implementation issues faced as practitioners move from theory to practice as well as the importance of staff leadership and evaluation efforts. This book synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working with offenders. | What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism
