Hillary Chapter Summaries

I greatly enjoyed this book, any book about an underdog is my kind of book. It always reminds me of my neighbor's father who owned a racehorse or two. There is a trail where he used to run them as if they were at the racetrack. That sticks out to me for a reason grandfather would tell us that story every time we smack that divot . This book is greatly enthralling and I’ll read it again and maybe even another time.

A reoccurring theme that has been evident throughout many systems of oppression is the necessity to define the group being oppressed as criminals. In the book Queer (In)Justice it is impossible to mistake the purposeful intent of church authorities, prosecutors, and other influential citizens who had an agenda. They were threatened by the progress being made by the gay community. Sodomy laws were falling and they began to worry about queers recruiting their youth to a “perverted” lifestyle. Most often the only crime that these LGBT people committed was being homosexual. This discrimination would be a little too evident so a feeble attempt was made to cover up hatred by producing these undeserved characteristics that queer people supposedly

Within the United States, we have had 44 presidents, some which were voted in for four years and also those who were voted in for two terms. The different campaign styles and strategies each candidate has used has reflected what they have brought to our country if they were elected and even had some issues with the American body as some people may not have been interested or agreed on what their styles were. Recently, we have just witnessed a campaign from Hillary Clinton as she was facing head to head with her opponent Donald Trump for the seat at the White House to be the next President of the United States. Although she did not win, Hillary had many different campaign strategies and styles that she expressed throughout her two year journey of campaigning. With this being said, Hillary had various ups and downs all which I will be comparing to Barack Obama’s campaign when he was running for President back in 2008.

Chapter 18 talks about on how to reduce crime focusing on social, cultural, and community crime prevention, which it refers to primary prevention. I can see how primary prevention recognizes the main problem on violent street crime in our country, which is committed by young people living in poor neighborhoods and urban areas. In order to reduce crime in poor neighborhoods, we need to focus more on the main problems. For example family instability, reducing social and economic inequalities between men and women, and restore social bonds with the community and social institutions in order to end social disorganization. I can connect a patter with these examples on how they can have a big impact on our young teenagers in order to stop street
