Synopsis Street Justice by : Jason Bruce

In a world where those at the top seem to constantly get away with murder, often quite literally, where white collar crime is punished with a mere slap on the wrist or more often than not just swept under the rug, wouldn't it be nice to see at least some form of punishment meted out? Street Justice poses one of those big what if questions that lurk in the back of our minds. What would we like to see happen to that murderer when he's caught? What if those muggers chose the wrong person to steal from and got a severe beating for their troubles? Now imagine if one day the government decided to do something about it, a token gesture at least, and offer the choice between thirty years behind bars for playing a role in crashing the stock market, or thirty days seeing how the other half, in this case, the homeless. What with overcrowding in prisons as it is, as well as public resentment at having to pay their taxes for people like that to serve a shortened sentence in an open prison watching TV, getting three meals a day when ordinary folk rely on food banks, wouldn't it make more sense to give them a much shorter, but much harsher sentence sleeping out in the cold, eating out of rubbish bins, etc? Based on trust, in this scenario there would be no need for walls, barbed wire, armed guards, etc, only an independent film maker and his crew, moderate government funding and a team of three genuinely homeless men with drug and alcohol issues to run the show. What could possibly go wrong? Heaven forbid it ever did and word were to get out, the whole thing might just be swept under the rug, all footage of the event seized, never to see the light of day ever again. But what if, just if, a transcript of the recorded material still existed? Now imagine those shameless champagne guzzling, tax avoiding, let them eat cake boys getting the only real justice they deserve. Street Justice!

Synopsis Street Justice by : Marilynn S. Johnson

Street Justice traces the stunning history of police brutality in New York City, and the antibrutality movements that sought to eradicate it, from just after the Civil War through the present. New York's experience with police brutality dates back to the founding of the force and has shown itself in various forms ever since: From late-nineteenth-century "clubbing"-the routine bludgeoning of citizens by patrolmen with nightsticks-to the emergence of the "third degree," made notorious by gangster movies, from the violent mass-action policing of political dissidents during periods of social unrest, such as the 1930s and 1960s, to the tumultuous days following September 11. Yet throughout this varied history, the victims of police violence have remained remarkably similar: they have been predominantly poor and working class, and more often than not they have been minorities. Johnson compellingly argues that the culture of policing will only be changed when enough sustained political pressure and farsighted thinking about law enforcement is brought to bear on the problem.

It explores retaliation from a first hand perspective, based on interviews with currently active street criminals rather than prisoners.

Synopsis Street Justice by : R. N. Scott

After the world narrowly avoids World War III, F.B.I. agent Mark Tice turns to politics in his search for justice. Mark comes from a past that is gradually revealed in periodic visits to the catacombs of St. Jude's Cathedral. Politics, crime, terrorism, greed, corruption and their counterparts dominate the present as Mark travels a parallel journey in unexplained visions revealing similar circumstances in the fall of all the great Empires of old. Mark struggles with the problems of the present in fear that the evils of the past are following in the shadows, possibly in the form of those he considers friends. On his lonely journey Mark meets Jennifer Hewitt, who is the reincarnation of his love from a time and place whose existence is in question. Jennifer's family becomes the center of his life's quest. As political success grows an important question must be answered. The appearance of police brutality and corruption is the focus, but how legitimate are the complaints? Jennifer's brother Tony is a rookie police officer, who gives life to the world of law enforcement. Terrorism, political correctness, liberal forces and greedy businessmen jeopardize the stability of the country. A select, somewhat clandestine group, debate these problems on several visits to the Hewitt household. Suspicious deaths and disappearances of prominent people cause great concern throughout the country. Mark and those close to him fear a plot revealed on the grave of a police officer killed by terrorists has been put in motion. Mark needs to find a just society, while some of those close to him want a society of their own making. The consensus is the final result will be Street Justice. If justice and security are not found within the confines of the law, justice must be administered on the streets. Governments must be strong in order to keep justice on the side of right. When governments fail to protect the law-abiding, there is no law, no security and no justice. This is the story line, but the point I am trying to get across is that the failures of the past are becoming evident in the present and making the future predictable.

Synopsis The Justice Thrillogy by : JOHN NOONAN

For the first time the Justice thrillogy is published as one volume. STREET JUSTICE Veteran Garda Detective Brown finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly game of cat and mouse between gun-wielding vigilantes and Dublin's drug gangs. Someone is dealing out deadly justice to drug dealers, and Brown must stop them before another corpse turns up. Can he trust Macker, his petty criminal tout? Is he telling Brown all he knows? Have antidrug activists, Billy and Mary O'Neill, really turned their backs on violence? When a criminal kingpin comes out of hiding, things really heat up. Just when Brown plans to draw the net over drug dealers and vigilantes alike, the tables are turned with deadly consequences. NEVER ENDING JUSTICE Sergeant Brown stirs up a hornet's nest when he makes public information that shows the unsavory connections between drug dealing, business, and politics. The Garda is getting too hot for him, so he contemplates retirement. He and his wife go to Spain to check out an apartment. Macker is already there. On the face of it settled down with a legitimate job and girlfriend, he is making a name for himself as a ruthless assassin for the ex-pat Irish and Russian mobs. He hates Brown and knows he's in town. Who's next for rough justice? FINAL JUSTICE Retired Garda Brown and his wife have a new life in Spain. He's a consultant with an Irish company building holiday homes. Little does he know that it's the front for Terry, an Irish criminal. A web of intrigue is being woven around Brown by the Irish and Russian gangs, and not-so-naive Renee, Macker's girlfriend, is pulling the strings. Will Brown cop on before it is too late? Things come to a head in an explosive finale that will leave you rocking."
