Policing Hatred: Law Enforcement, Civil Rights, and Hate Crime
Jeannine Bell
Policing Hatred explores the intersection of race and law enforcement in the controversial area of hate crime. The nation’s attention has recently been focused on high-profile hate crimes such as the dragging death of James Byrd and the torture-murder of Matthew Shepard. This book calls attention to the thousands of other individuals who each year are attacked because of their race, religion, or sexual orientation. The study of hate crimes challenges common assumptions regarding perpetrators and victims: most of the accused tend to be white, while most of their victims are not.
Policing Hatred is an in-depth ethnographic study of how hate crime law works in practice, from the perspective of those enforcing it. It examines the ways in which the police handle bias crimes, and the social impact of those efforts. Bell exposes the power that law enforcement personnel have to influence the social environment by showing how they determine whether an incident will be charged as a bias crime.
Drawing on her unprecedented access to a police hate crime unit, Bell’s work brings to life the stories of female, Black, Latino, and Asian American detectives, in addition to those of their white male counterparts. Policing Hatred also explores the impact of victim’s identity on each officers handling of bias crimes and addresses how the police treat defendants’ First Amendment rights. Bell’s vivid evidence from the field argues persuasively for the need to have the police diligently address even low-level offenses, such as vandalism, given their devastating cumulative effects on society.

Pollution and Property: Comparing Ownership Institutions for Environmental Protection
Daniel H. Cole
All solutions to environmental problems depend on the imposition of private, common, or public-property rights in natural resources. Who should own the resources: private individuals, private groups of "stakeholders", or the entire society (the public)? Contrary to much of the literature in this field, this book argues that no single property regime works best in all circumstances. Environmental protection requires the use of multiple property regimes--including admixtures of private, common, and public-property systems.
- First book to systematically compare the utility and limitations of a variety of property regimes for environmental protection
- Focuses on the institutional and technological factors that constrain both environmental protection and the imposition of property rights
- Provides a basis for understanding why societies rely on multiple property regimes for environmental protection

"Public Policy and the Privacy Avalanche"
Fred H. Cate
In "The Future of Financial Privacy", an array of US and European legal and economic experts attempts to clear up some of the muddle surrounding these complicated issues. Privacy is an amorphous concept, clouding and confusing public-policy debates on financial-services issues ranging from the confidentiality of what's in your bank account to the mining and sharing of data. "The Future of Financial Privacy" shows how to protect consumers' privacy while preserving the benefits of free flows of information, and explores what role the government should play in all this.
