Shadows of Doubt reveals how deeply stereotypes distort our interactions, shape crime, and deform the criminal justice system. If you’re a robber, how do you choose your victims? As a police officer, how afraid are you of the young man you’re about to arrest? As a judge, do you think the suspect in front of you will show up in court if released from pretrial detention? As a juror, does the defendant seem guilty to you? Your answers may depend on the stereotypes you hold, and the stereotypes you believe others hold. In this provocative, pioneering book, economists Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi explore how stereotypes can shape the ways crimes unfold and how they contaminate the justice system through far more insidious, pervasive, and surprising paths than we have previously imagined. Crime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police officers, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people act as they try to commit, prevent, or punish crimes, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making. Sometimes it’s simple: Robbers tend to target those they stereotype as being more compliant. Other interactions display a complex and sometimes tragic interplay of assumptions: “If he thinks I’m dangerous, he might shoot. I’ll shoot first.” Shadows of Doubt shows how deeply stereotypes are implicated in the most controversial criminal justice issues of our time, and how a clearer understanding of their effects can guide us toward a more just society.

I Fell not because I hated humans, but because I loved one of my own… Mara finally found the courage to open her heart and give Jon a chance, but her tentative happiness is threatened before she even gets to go on her first official date. Aleksander is gone, removed by the Council for being too lenient, and his replacement isn't willing to turn a blind eye to anything. And that's not the only thing keeping them apart. Completing her work with Richard should have made Mara happy. But her new assignment with an artist in Richmond means leaving West Virginia, and Jon, behind. Worse, the new watcher insists that Mara move in with her and Eris. Living under Irene's watchful eye is hard enough. Sharing a home with Eris makes her growing attraction to him--and his clear desire for her--inescapable. Jon may make her happy, but Eris understands her loneliness in a way that no one else can. And she's only just beginning to unravel the secrets his silence hides. Mara's wayward heart isn't the only thing troubling her. She knows she's being watched, and not just by Irene. What she doesn't know is whether her stalker was sent by the Council or by the Fallen. Either could ruin everything she's been working toward if they catch her with Jon. Can Mara stay on the Council's good side, avoid the machinations of the Fallen, and keep her unruly heart in line, all while guiding a new human to the light? Or will she stumble under the combined weights of responsibility and desire? There can be no return from a second Fall.

The Great Temptation Series is written by Lexy Timms & W.J. May. Two USA TODAY BEST SELLING AUTHORS - taking great romance from Lexy and amazon fantasy from W.J.
