International Series on Public Policy

This book examines how contemporary populist governments in Latin America dismantle public policies and erode bureaucratic capacity. Focusing on the administrations of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, and Javier Milei in Argentina, it analyzes deliberate efforts to attack the public administration, redirect resources, and scale back programs in areas such as social protection, gender, childcare, science and innovation, and agroecology. Rather than isolated budget cuts or routine reforms, dismantling often reflects broader political projects that challenge the role of the state itself and the way the bureaucracy works. Through detailed case studies, the book shows how these shifts affect everyday governance, the delivery of public services, and the relationship between citizens and the state. Offering new theoretical and empirical insights, this volume will interest scholars of public policy, public administration, and Latin American politics.Guillermo M. Cejudo

Political Leadership and Bureaucratic Erosion in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico

Policy Dismantling in Latin America

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again"Groucho Marx
In this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn't and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told "you're going to need a bigger boat", and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from "Three-Fingered Louie" to the lady named "Woman of the Falling Snow" did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!

Three-Fingered Louie and Other True Stories

Based on the hit BBC 5Live podcast series, The Trillion Dollar Conman is a tale of audacious international fraud that is stranger than fiction. In 2009, Notts County FC were struggling to survive in League Two when they were taken over by a mysterious company supposedly backed by the Bahrain royal family. The club was promised millions of pounds worth of investment and marquee players, including Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel, were signed by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who had been appointed to take the club all the way to the Premier League. However, within months, the dream turned into a nightmare as it transpired that the club, the players and the fans had been duped by a convicted fraudster called Russell King. The world's oldest professional football club found itself at the center of one of the most outlandish frauds in sporting history, which spanned the globe from Nottingham to North Korea, involving fake sheikhs, fast cars, broken promises and a trail of destruction.

This book identifies an emerging Brazilian cultural criminology which combines Brazilian and Latin American critical criminology with the new avenues of investigation and methodologies that characterize cultural criminology more broadly. Bringing together various perspectives, it offers a new take on cultural criminology which demonstrates its international scope and innovative approaches to explore the specific problems of Brazil’s peripheral reality. It offers a window into past and present Brazil, discussing themes of colonialism, slavery, genocide, eugenics, police lethality, mass imprisonment, urban groups, Bolsonarism, youth gangs, mediated representation, and the pandemic.
The joint work of criminologists from Brazil constitutes a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. Bound by their common political identity, these fields continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North. 
This book demonstrates that the reception and incorporation of methodologies and ideas from cultural criminology into Brazilian critical criminology do not reveal a simple reproduction, but rather that Brazilian criminologists continue to reinvent and contest, from the margins, the very cultural criminology of the Global North from which they were inspired to refine and expand the accumulated critical knowledge positioned against administrative criminology. 
The translation of this book was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done for language and content.

From Periphery to Centre

Brazilian Cultural Criminology

Melbourne, Australia, 1899

A society wife shoots her husband on a crowded street, shouting 'I did it!' Then she pleads not guilty.

The courtroom becomes a battleground as two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds face off: the principled prosecutor who plays for justice, and the flamboyant showman who plays to the crowd. Newspapers howl. The city takes sides. And at the centre stands Mrs Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore.

Is she a monster? Hysterical? Or a woman pushed beyond endurance in a world built to silence her?

Will she walk free-or pay with her life?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a sensational trial that captivated Australia and then disappeared from history-now reconstructed for the first time from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the case to life with the drive and immediacy of a legal thriller.

Gripping, shocking, and meticulously researched, it exposes a legal system where a woman's best defence was to play the lady.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history author

A True Legal Thriller

The Dangerous Wife

'Ich wollte ja keinen umbringen, aber ab und zu war immer einer tot.'
Hannover 1924. In den Gassen der Altstadt geht die Angst um - bereits seit Monaten verschwinden immer wieder Menschen spurlos. Als in der Leine die blanken Schädel und Gebeine mehrerer junger Männer gefunden werden, scheinen sich die schauerlichsten Gerüchte zu bestätigen, denn sämtliche Knochen wurden mit einem scharfen Messer sauber vom Körper abgetrennt.
In einer fesselnden Geschichte widmen sich Peer Meter und Isabel Kreitz den letzten Monaten des wohl berüchtigsten deutschen Serienmörders, Fritz Haarmann, der seine Stellung als Spitzel der Polizei dazu missbrauchte, alleinreisende junge Männer in seine Gewalt zu bringen. Atmosphärisch dichte Bilder lassen das Hannover der Zwischenkriegsjahre wieder lebendig werden und offenbaren nicht nur die seelischen Abgründe seiner Bewohner:innen, sondern auch einen bodenlosen Justizskandal.

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.

The Coroner's Silence

Routledge Studies in Crime, Security and Justice

This book offers a novel perspective for conceptualising legality in market exchanges. It challenges the conventional binary of "legal" versus "illegal" markets by introducing the concept of variably legal markets - arenas of exchange where legality is conditional, multidimensional, and context-dependent.

Rethinking Markets and Crime

Variably Legal Markets

Die Fantasie von Mördern kennt keine Grenzen. Rechtsmediziner wissen: Es gibt bei Verbrechen nichts, was es nicht gibt. Die Experten in Sachen Tod und Misshandlung blicken in die Abgründe der menschlichen Seele, wenn sie in Leichen lesen wie in einem Buch. Ihre Arbeit ist spannender als jeder Krimi, denn sie beschäftigt sich mit realen Geschehnissen - die oft genug anmuten, als entstammten sie einem irrealen Schocker.Nach ihrem erfolgreichen Buch "Tote schweigen nicht" schildern Püschel und Mitautorin Bettina Mittelacher in "Tote lügen nicht" weitere spektakuläre Fälle aus der

LA ANTOLOGÍA DEFINITIVA VEINTICINCO AÑOS DEL MEJOR PERIODISMO DE LEILA GUERRIERO Una edición ampliada y revisada con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española y autora de La llamada, libro del año en Babelia. &gt;Veinticinco años han pasado desde la crónica más temprana de todas las que contiene esta antología del mejor periodismo de Leila Guerriero: un cuarto de siglo con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española, quien ha revisado y ampliado este libro para la ocasión. Frutos extraños es una lección magistral de escritura en la que la autora nos descubre la cara más sensible, vigorosa y palpitante de su oficio. Aquí encontramos muchas de sus crónicas célebres: la historia de una mujer capaz de asesinar a tres amigas con cianuro, la de otra que mató a su hija minutos después de parirla o la de un mago manco. El volumen incluye también algunas de sus brillantes reflexiones sobre el acto de escribir e incorpora perfiles de figuras como Ricardo Darín o María Kodama, además de relatos de episodios históricos recientes que sin duda marcarán una época, como las últimas elecciones presidenciales en Argentina. Este compendio confirma a Leila Guerriero como la gran defensora de que no hay nada «más sexy, feroz, desopilante, ambiguo, tétrico o hermoso que la realidad'. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE DEFINITIVE ANTHOLOGY: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF LEILA GUERRIERO'S FINEST JOURNALISM An expanded and revised edition featuring the essential texts of the foremost Spanish-language chronicler and author of The Call, named Book of the Year by Babelia. &gt;Twenty-five years have passed since the earliest chronicle included in this anthology of Leila Guerriero's best journalism: a quarter century of essential texts by the leading Spanish-language chronicler, who has revised and expanded this volume for the occasion. Strange Fruits is a master class in writing in which the author reveals the most sensitive, vigorous, and vibrant side of her craft. Here we find many of her celebrated chronicles: the story of a woman capable of murdering three friends with cyanide; another who killed her daughter minutes after giving birth; and that of a one-armed magician. The volume also includes some of her brilliant reflections on the act of writing and incorporates profiles of figures such as Ricardo Darín and María Kodama, as well as accounts of recent historical events that will undoubtedly define an era, such as Argentina's most recent presidential elections. This compendium confirms Leila Guerriero as the foremost champion of the idea that there is nothing "sexier, fiercer, more outrageous, more ambiguous, more terrifying, or more beautiful than reality."

A Transnational Perspective

Organized Crime

Dreißig tote Kinder. Ein verurteilter Serienmörder. Und ein Geständnis, das vielleicht nie hätte existieren dürfen.
Alois Kalt, das "Bayerische Monster", sitzt im Gefängnis - verantwortlich für eines der grausamsten Verbrechen der letzten Jahrzehnte. Doch kurz vor seinem Tod behauptet er:
"Ich bin unschuldig." 
Der Schriftsteller Vadim Rossick erhält eine Einladung zu einem letzten Gespräch. Was als makabre Begegnung beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer gefährlichen Suche nach der Wahrheit.
Warum gestand Kalt Verbrechen, die er womöglich nie beging? Wer fuhr in jener Nacht wirklich durch den Hexenwald? Und wie viele Kindergräber wurden nie gefunden? Je tiefer Vadim gräbt, desto klarer wird: Die Wahrheit wurde nicht nur begraben - sie wurde geschützt. Und jemand würde alles tun, damit sie für immer im Wald bleibt.
Manche Gräber dürfen niemals geöffnet werden.
Und manche Monster tragen keine Handschellen.
