Operating System Design The Xinu Approach Second Edition

An Update of the Most Practical A-to-Z Operating System BookWidely lauded for avoiding the typical black box approach found in other operating system textbooks the first edition of this bestselling book taught readers how an operating system works and explained how to build it from the ground up.

It gives the implementation details of one set of primitives usually the most popular set. Once readers understand how primitives can be implemented on conventional hardware they can then easily implement alternative versions. The text begins with a bare machine and proceeds step-by-step through the design and implementation of Xinu which is a small elegant operating system that supports dynamic process creation dynamic memory allocation network communication local and remote file systems a shell and device-independent I/O functions. The Xinu code runs on many hardware platforms. This second edition has been completely rewritten to contrast operating systems for RISC and CISC processors.

Black Males and the Criminal Justice System

Black Males and the Criminal Justice System

Relying on a multidisciplinary framework of inquiry and critical perspective this edited volume addresses the unique experiences of Black males within various stages of contact in the criminal justice system. It provides a comprehensive overview of the administration of justice mental and physical health issues faced by Black males and reintegration into society after system involvement. Recent events—including but by no means limited to the shootings of unarmed Black men by police in Ferguson Missouri; Baltimore; Minneapolis; and Chicago—have highlighted the disproportionate likelihood of young Black males to encounter the criminal justice system. Black Males and the Criminal Justice System provides a theoretical and empirical review of the need for an intersectional understanding of Black male experiences and outcomes within the criminal justice system. The intersectional approach which posits that outcomes of societal experiences are determined by the way the interconnected identities of individuals are perceived and responded to by others is key to recognizing the various forms of oppression that Black males experience and the impact these experiences have on them and their families. This book is intended for students and scholars in criminology criminal justice sociology race/ethnic studies legal studies psychology and African American Studies and will serve as a reference for researchers who wish to utilize a progressive theoretical approach to study social control policing and the criminal justice system.

Order and Disorder in the International System

Order and Disorder in the International System

This volume examines the complex international system of the twenty first century from a variety of perspectives. Proceeding from critical theoretical perspectives and incorporating case studies the chapters focus on broad trends as well as micro-realities of a Post-Westphalian international system. The process of transformation and change of the international system has been an ongoing cumulative process. Many forces including conflict technological innovation and communication have contributed to the creation of a transnational world with political economic and social implications for all societies. Transnationalism functions both as an integrative factor and one which exposes the existing and the newly emerging divisions between societies and cultures and between nations and states. The chapters in this volume demonstrate that re-thinking fundamental assumptions as well as theoretical and methodological premises is central to understanding the dynamics of interdependence. | Order and Disorder in the International System

Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

The most punitive era in American history reached its apex in the 1990s but the trend has reversed in recent years. Smart on Crime: The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System examines the factors causing this dramatic turnaround. It relates and echoes the increasing need and desire on the part of actors in the American government system to construct a penal system that is more rational and humane. Author Garrick L. Percival points out that the prison boom did not naturally emerge as a governmental response to increasing crime rates. Instead political forces actively built and shaped the growth of a more aggressive and populated penal system. He is optimistic that the shifting political forces surrounding crime and punishment can now reform the system explaining how current political actors can craft more constructive and just policies and programs. The book shows how rationality and humanitarianism lead to a penal system that imprisons fewer people does less harm to the lives of individual offenders and those close to them and is less expensive to maintain. The book presents empirical data to concretely demonstrate what is working and what is not in today’s penal system. It closely examines policies and practices in Texas Ohio and California as comparative illustrations on what progress has been made or needs to be made in penal systems across the United States. The book includes a comprehensive discussion of highlighted issues and relates more than two dozen interviews with pivotal political actors who clarify why there is a major shift underway in the American penal system. Their insights reveal paths that can be taken to improve the current penal system. | Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

Bureaucracy Law and Dystopia in the United Kingdom's Asylum System

Bureaucracy Law and Dystopia in the United Kingdom's Asylum System

The central concern of this book is to find answers to fundamental questions about the British asylum system and how it operates. Based on ethnographic research over a two-year period the work follows and analyses numerous asylum appeals through the British courts. It draws on myriad interviews with individuals and a thorough examination of many state and non-state organizations to understand how the system works. While the organization of the book reflects the formal asylum process a focus on specific legal appeals reveals the ‘political’ factors at play as different institutions and actors seek to influence judicial decision-making and overturn/uphold official asylum policy. The final chapter draws on the author’s ethnographic findings of the UK’s ‘asylum field’ to re-examine research on the Refugee Determination System in the US Canada and Australia which has narrowly focused on judicial decision-making. It argues that analysis of Refugee Determination Systems must be situated and studied as part of a wider political semi-autonomous ‘asylum field’ which needs to be better understood. Providing an in-depth ethnographic study of a national asylum system and of immigration law and practice the book will be an invaluable resource for academics researchers and policy-makers in the UK and beyond working in this highly topical area. | Bureaucracy Law and Dystopia in the United Kingdom's Asylum System

The New Examination System - GCSE

The New Examination System - GCSE

Reform of the public examination system for sixteen-year-olds presented a considerable challenge to secondary schools. The new General Certification of Secondary Education introduced in 1988 was more than a continuation of the G. C. E. ‘O’ level and C. S. E. examinations at the time. The introduction of national criteria by the Department of Education the part played by the Secondary Schools Examination Council the emergence of new examining bodies were new dimensions faced by schools accustomed to exercising considerable autonomy in designing a curriculum. How far would the new examination reflect what was actually taught in our classrooms? What were its new features? Which pupils would be entered and with what prospect of success? Above all how would schools meet a tight time schedule which required study of new syllabuses to be ready by 1986 for the first examinations held in 1988? Originally published in 1986 this book was intended to answer some of these questions and provide an up-to-date picture of the present state of the examination world with indications of future developments in the vital years ahead. It aimed to assist those immediately and urgently concerned with implementing this far-reaching educational reform. Today it can be considered in its historical context. | The New Examination System - GCSE
