Psychologist James Gilligan argues that there is a common emotional experience shared by all perpetrators of violent crime: shame. According to Gilligan, shame is also the primary motivation behind government-sanctioned punishments. Crime and punishment share a common purpose: to annihilate shame and restore self-respect. The result: violent crime never ends. Punishment of violent criminals replaces public shame with pride, and the community feels better now that "something has been done." But punishment does not heal shame; it only hands it back to the criminal, who must commit more violent crime in order to correct what he perceives as an injustice done to him by the authorities.

In this riveting nonfiction book, John Hubner takes us inside a treatment program for the most severely violent youth criminals in the state. In Texas, where prison conditions are harsh and most offenders receive determinate sentences, intensive treatment programs offer violent kids a final chance to change their antisocial patterns of behavior. At the Giddings State School, a treatment facility for the most serious criminal youth offenders in Texas, John Hubner follows one group of boys and one group of girls as they work their way through their final phase of rehabilitation: the Capital and Serious Violent Offenders group treatment program.

Here are a few sites I recommend joining for incredible prices on designer jeans, clothing, shoes and accessories. These are online sample sales featuring a series of high-quality fashion brands and big-name designers. Much of the stock is priced at 50% or more off retail, and on some items you can save as much as 85-90%. It's free to sign up, and you are never obligated to buy anything. You do have to pay for shipping, but that's where the merchandise credit comes in handy. You can earn merchandise credit for referring new members. Once one of your referrals makes a purchase, you will earn anywhere from $10 to $25 in credit (depending on the site.) Then you can use your credit to get free shipping... or, if you're really good at recruiting new members, your credit might pay for entire purchases! You can opt out of receiving email alerts if you want. If you love designer fashion and incredible discounts, there's really no reason not to join these sites. Invite codes included for RueLaLa, Gilt Groupe, ideeli, and TheTopSecret.

This is a compilation of web pages featuring natural and organic skin care, beauty, and green living. I first became interested in this topic from having sensitive skin and seeking gentle skin care products and natural recipes that don't irritate my face. In my work as group administrator of Skin Care for Women, I've had the pleasure of discovering some of the most useful resources Squidoo has to offer on natural skin care and beauty. My hope is that this page will draw more attention to natural and organic skin care and beauty pages on Squidoo. I've also featured general green living lenses to provide a greater context for people interested in green beauty. Natural and organic skin care is not only better for your skin, it's also a great way to take care of the earth.
