About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
You live in the country of Torcia, a society defined by sex, and free and addictive behaviour. You read vignettes about criminal and civil offences in the homes, streets, and prisons of Torcia. Traditional systems of crime and punishment don't seem to be working. The Judgement Game invites you to find out what has gone wrong and what can be done about it. The Judgement Game is an interactive book asking for your ideas about offences committed and your suggestions as to punishment imposed on offenders. This is your opportunity to play a role in the justice system of your country. Your experiences and decision-making power are valued and can help Torcia find ideas to address its problems. You are playing a game that has been played for centuries—only the players and the rules of the age change. The Judgement Game has returned justice to the people in this game. Play the judgement game to see if you will win!
