The Storm in Our Hearts

An urgent and clear-eyed look at the battle over reproductive control in our tipping-point moment—and how to forge a path forward. Birth control, which includes contraception, abortion access and more, has not only enabled women to enter civic life in significant numbers for the first time, but it has also expanded our democracy and grown our economy. While many embrace these changes, which aim to share the nation’s economic bounty among all Americans, those who see themselves as benefiting from the old hierarchies do not. They resist this progress with divisive rhetoric condemning “woke”-ness in anything they find threatening. In The Real Domestic Product, fertility researcher Elizabeth Gregory argues that our battles over abortion and LGBTQ bans and pronatalism are economic at base—that conservatives seek to push women out of civic life through forced childbearing. Their goal? To maintain their discount on domestic labor and a steady supply of low-wage workers. But, she contends, this shortsighted approach overlooks the huge benefits that a caring democracy can engender for our economy and for our fragile planet. By connecting the dots among fertility patterns, economics, climate change, equitable work, expanding longevity, and the rising status of formerly excluded groups, the author counters reactionary narratives, adding depth and perspective to the incomplete national conversations we’ve had to date. Never more urgently needed, The Real Domestic Product envisions the way forward to an economy of care for our planet and our people.

The Real Domestic Product

Contemporary Hate Crimes: Analysis and Examples examines complex issues related to hate crimes, presenting readers with a comprehensive framework that includes historical context, legal and constitutional discussions, typologies, contemporary considerations, and victim impacts.

The text explores a range of topics, beginning with the rationale behind criminalizing hate-inspired actions, the development and contents of hate crime legislation, and the constitutionality of hate speech limitations. The discussion spans theoretical perspectives for understanding hate crimes, roles and impacts of various hate organizations, profiles of individual perpetrators described as "lone wolves," and the international dynamics of hate-linked networks.

Contemporary Hate Crimes is ideal for courses that focus on criminal justice, sociology, law, and social work, particularly those examining hate crimes, constitutional law, and social justice at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It inspires discussion, debate, and a deeper understanding of the hate crimes phenomenon through an interdisciplinary perspective and inclusion of contemporary developments and public policy issues.

Analysis and Examples

Contemporary Hate Crimes

How corporations can address legacies of historical oppression in ways that are good for them and good for others. Increasingly, corporate executives find themselves called upon to atone for their predecessors’ moral transgressions. While many are prepared to address inherited failed product lines or dysfunctional teams, few know how to handle demands that their enterprise address legacies of mass atrocity such as slavery, genocide, or colonialism. In Corporate Reckoning, Sarah Federman provides a corporate atonement model for corporate leaders and employees across industries around the world. When survivors and descendants demand reckoning, many corporate leaders initially shirk the responsibilities that follow from these requests. They may claim that history belongs to the historians, that their company’s activities were legal at the time, or that too much time has passed. If it comes to it, courts will rule in their favor, they reassure themselves. Others avoid these issues simply because they have no idea how to address them. Demands for reckoning ebb and flow, but these histories do not disappear. This book offers a way forward that serves companies and those affected by these historical harms. Taking responsibility for irreparable harm is not easy or comfortable. Despite the dilemmas and difficulties, the only way out is through.

How Businesses Can Address Historical Wrongs

Corporate Reckoning

For readers of His Name Is George Floyd and Under the Skin A landmark investigation into forensic medicine that exposes the systematic concealment of state-sanctioned violence through death investigations Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. The Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence.

Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence

The Coroner's Silence

Primäre Demenzen sind derzeit nicht heilbar. Aufgrund der steigenden Fallzahlen werden Möglichkeiten der Prädiktion mittels sog. Biomarker intensiv beforscht. Die Ergebnisse, die lediglich Wahrscheinlichkeitsaussagen darstellen, ermöglichen die Errichtung von Patienten- und Forschungsverfügungen. Auf Untersuchungen mittels genetischer Biomarker sind die Vorschriften des Gendiagnostikgesetzes anwendbar. Für Untersuchungen mittels nicht-genetischer Biomarker gelten trotz nahezu gleichen Aussagegehaltes die allgemeinen Vorschriften. Die Patientenverfügung gem. §§ 1827 ff. BGB birgt im Hinblick auf Demenzerkrankungen, die mit einer fortschreitenden Änderung der Persönlichkeit einhergehen, Schwierigkeiten. Dies gilt auch für die nur im Rahmen des Arzneimittelrechtes mögliche Forschungsverfügung. Die Regelungen werden aus verfassungsrechtlicher Sicht, im Hinblick auf Funktionalität und Praktikabilität und aus rechtsexterner, insbesondere medizinethischer Sicht, auf ihre Angemessenheit hin beleuchtet. Anschließend werden Änderungen des Rechts wie die Einführung eines allgemeinen Prädiktionsgesetztes sowie die Ergänzung der Regelungen der Patientenverfügung vorgeschlagen.Die Autorin Sarina Kahre-Krüger
 ist derzeit Proberichterin im Bezirk des OLG Celle. Davor war sie wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Lehrstuhl von Frau Prof. Dr. Susanne Beck, LL.M. (LSE) für Strafrecht, Strafprozessrecht, Strafrechtsvergleichung und Rechtsphilosophie an der Leibniz Universität Hannover.

Cambridge Studies in Constitutional Law

Prevention of an erosion of the rule of law is of utmost importance for democracy, because once autocratization begins, only one in five democracies manage to avert breakdown. This book offers a means of protecting the rule of law and counteracting its misuse for illiberal purpose. It analyses inherent anomalies that occur in so-called consolidated democracies, and the responses where the rule of law is seriously undermined. Only by identifying legal imperfections and addressing them, can crises of liberal democracies be avoided. András Sajó provides new theoretical and practical perspectives on legal positivism and legal interpretation. Making the rule of law more robust and its restoration successful requires an innovative, more militant approach to the rule of law. This book proves that unorthodox legal solutions can satisfy rule of law expectations. Otherwise, legality becomes a suicide pact for democracy. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Insurance Claims

Rechtsvorschriften müssen von nahezu allen Mitarbeitenden im Krankenhaus beachtet werden. Dabei ist das Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Rechtsgebiete für den juristischen Laien nicht einfach zu durchschauen. Welche Gesetze und Verordnungen müssen unbedingt beachtet werden und vor allem: Welche Bedeutung hat der Rechtsrahmen in der Praxis? Das Werk vermittelt juristische Grundkenntnisse speziell abgestimmt auf die Bedürfnisse von Mitarbeitenden im und um das Krankenhaus sowie angrenzenden Leistungserbringern. Es ist aufgelockert gestaltet und enthält zahlreiche Beispiele aus dem Krankenhausalltag. Der Aufbau ist daher auch nicht lehrbuchartig an Rechtsgebieten, sondern vorrangig am Krankenhausalltag ausgerichtet.

The Scottish Legal System

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. “A searing, compassionate, and utterly necessary book that pulls back the curtain with the clarity of a lawyer and the heart of someone who’s seen the criminal legal system’s devastating consequences up close.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts—that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system’s core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don’t want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We’ll learn what’s working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood’s murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won’t change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.
