Cool Pose : The Dilemmas of Black Manhood in America

This volume examines the issues behind the supervision of criminals whose special needs are often neglected in an overburdened system. Drawing on notable cases such as Manson, Bundy and the Hillside Strangler, Meyer examines deviant personality, including antisocial, sexual, dissociative, and sleep disorders. He also looks at such issues as violence, deception, incompetency, civil commitment, and psychopharmacology, and offers a plan for immediate intervention.
