| Publisher Description: Dealing with Crime by Illegal Immigrants and the Opioid Crisis is based on a blog series I wrote for the website of my company American Leadership Books (www.americanleadershipbooks.com). The book features chapters on these topics: - how illegal immigrants really do commit more crimes, - evidence from the Department of Justice showing that illegal immigrants have a higher crime rate than other groups, - examples of some of the serious crimes committed by illegal immigrants, - statistics showing that Hispanics commit more violent crime than whites, - some suggestions for fixing the illegal immigration mess, - why the death penalty is appropriate for opioid traffickers, - how the death penalty works in other countries, such as Singapore and China, - some suggestions for dealing with the opioid crisis, - and more. |
Contributor Bio(s): Brakke, Paul: - Paul Brakke is a research scientist based in central Arkansas. He became interested in the criminal justice system because, as described in his first book American Justice?, his life was turned upside down by the system. This occurred after his wife was falsely accused of aggravated assault for trying to run over a 12-year old boy with her car. A group of kids and some neighbors wanted her out of the neighborhood. Eventually, the Brakkes were forced to move as part of a plea agreement, since otherwise, Brakke's wife was threatened with a possible 16-year jail sentence if the case went to trial and she lost. After an initial critique of the criminal justice system, he went on to look at other problems in the system and the country in general and how to fix them. His other books now include: The Price of Justice, Cops Aren't Such Bad Guys, The Great National Divides, Fixing the U.S. Criminal Justice System, and The Costly U.S. Prison System. Now he has added this book. Over the past four years, he has become an expert on the criminal justice system and has become a speaker and consultant on this topic. He has also set up a publishing company American Leadership Books, featuring books on criminal justice and social issues which are available in print and e-books through Amazon, Ingram, Kindle, and other major distributors. The books' websites are www.americanleadershipbooks.com and www.americanjusticethebook.com. |
