Sommario/riassunto

Oklahoma has long held the dubious honor of having the highest female incarceration rate in the country, nearly twice the national average. In this compelling new book, sociologist Susan Sharp sets out to discover just what has gone so wrong in the state of Oklahoma-and what that might tell us about trends in female incarceration nationwide. The culmination of over a decade of original research, Mean Lives, Mean Laws exposes a Kafkaesque criminal justice system, one that has no problem with treating women as collateral damage in the War on Drugs or with stripping female prisoners of their parental rights. Yet it also reveals the individual histories of women who were jailed in Oklahoma, providing intimate portraits of their lives before, during, and after their imprisonment. We witness the impoverished and abusive



conditions in which many of these women were raised; we get a vivid portrait of their everyday lives behind bars; and we glimpse the struggles that lead many ex-convicts to fall back into the penal system. Through an innovative methodology that combines statistical rigor with extensive personal interviews, Sharp shows how female incarceration affects not only individuals, but also families and communities. Putting a human face on a growing social problem, Mean Lives, Mean Laws raises important questions about both the state of Oklahoma and the state of the nation.

Sommario/riassunto

This Detailed Assessment of Observance of Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision on Ireland reflects the regulatory and supervisory framework in place as of the date of the assessment. This assessment has been prepared according to the Revised Core Principles Methodology issued by the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision (BCBS). The Irish authorities chose to be assessed against the Essential and Additional Criteria but to be graded against only the Essential Criteria. Although there is no observed interference, the legislation provides for the approval of the Minister for Finance for: setting the levy structure to fund supervision, denying a license application, involuntary revocation of a banking license. The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) undertakes supervisory activities to understand the overall structure of the banking group for which it is ultimately responsible



and supervises and monitors material activities (including nonbanking activities conducted by entities in the wider group, both domestic and cross-border.
