Breaking Rank
In Breaking Rank Norm Stamper (2005) writes as a “pioneering public servant and former top cop of Seattle, WA, USA. He makes powerful arguments for drug decriminalization, abolition of the death penalty, and radically revising approaches to prostitution and gun control. Opening the book with a powerful letter to former Tacoma police chief David Brame, who shot his estranged wife before turning the gun on himself, Stamper educates us to the violent world of domestic abuse that cops must not only navigate, but which some also perpetrate. While supporting the importance of policing in America, Stamper exposes a troubling police culture of racism, sexism, and homophobia that is still pervasive within the 21st century force (adapted from book jacket).”

Women in an Insecure World (2005) by The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of the Armed Forces (DCAF) takes stock of the scope and magnitude of violence experienced by women. It highlights the active role women can have in peacemaking and post-conflict reconstruction. For what makes women’s role in combating violence indispensable is that they demonstrate the capability of overcoming the trauma of violent acts, to survive and help in the survival of others, and to contribute actively to building peace. The book provides analytical data and statistics, legal documents and policy recommendations complemented by feature stories and illustrations. Reprint from Web site www.dcaf.ch/publicatins, 9/06

The Macho Paradox
The Macho Paradox (2006) by Jackson Katz:
Men’s role in ending violence against women is given substantial support in Katz’s insightful book. Written from the position that violence against women is a men’s issue, Katz explores where men can be engaged on the issue and how men can contribute. His big tent approach takes the anti-violence message where it can impact primary prevention efforts and where leadership is found: boys and young men in intramural athletic programs, professional sports teams, and the military. With a deep analysis of this long-running pandemic, Katz contributes important discourse on sexism and respect for women. This work also provides an understanding of feminism and is grounded in feminist principle. Katz provides a readable primer for men that convincingly asks men to ally with women in stopping violence against women.

Women's Police Stations
Women's Police Stations (2005) by Cecelia MacDowell Santos examines the changing and complex relationship between women and the state, and the construction of gendered citizenship. These are police stations run exclusively by police women for women with the authority to investigate crimes against women, such as domestic violence, assault, and rape. São Paulo was the home of the first such police station, and there are now more than 300 women's police stations throughout Brazil. Cecilia MacDowell Santos examines the importance of this phenomenon in book form for the first time, looking at the dynamics of the relationship between women and the state as a consequence of a political regime as well as other factors, and exploring the notion of gendered citizenship (Publisher Comments).
