The Police Mandate

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This volume explores ethical aspects relating to claims for mitigation arising from culpable state action (or inaction). It answers the important and controversial question: to what extent should the state mitigate sentencing for defendants who have been victims of state misconduct? The volume explores the normative justifications for mitigation and answers many intriguing questions. For example, in terms of the procedural challenges, should the offender have to prove a causal link between state wrongdoing or neglect and the offending? Can a court take judicial notice of state-induced social adversity and apply this consideration to all affected offenders? Other questions relate to the implications for courts and sentencing commissions which issue guidance to courts regarding mitigation at sentencing. To what extent is the offender less culpable as a result of state misconduct, and what are the limits of any resulting sentence reductions? Do sentence reductions for state misconduct undermine proportionality, or deprecate the seriousness of the impact on the victim of crime? Should this factor be included in any sentencing guidelines or possibly even as a statutory mitigating factor? Each contribution explores a distinct, cross-jurisdictional claim for mitigation on the basis of State negligence or misconduct towards the offender. The chapters all address the appropriate response of courts at sentencing.

Industrialized Construction in the Age of AI and Robotics explores the transformative convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and modern construction methods. This comprehensive textbook reveals how cutting-edge technologies are reshaping the construction industry, offering unprecedented improvements in efficiency, quality, and sustainability.From fundamental concepts to practical applications, the book is divided into three sections. Part One establishes the foundational principles of industrialized construction and introduces the revolutionary potential of AI and robotics. Part Two delves deep into six critical operational areas: AI-driven design systems, agile production processes, intelligent supply chain management, automated on-site assembly, predictive maintenance, and smart work packaging. The final section examines current challenges, from technical and financial constraints to regulatory considerations, before exploring emerging trends and future innovations. Each chapter features detailed case studies and practical examples that bridge theory and real-world implementation.Written for a diverse audience, this essential resource serves as both an academic textbook and a professional reference. Students in Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management, and AI &amp; Robotics programs will find it invaluable for understanding the intersection of these disciplines. Industry practitioners, including construction managers, project engineers, and technology integrators, will gain practical insights into implementing AI and robotics solutions. Whether you're preparing for a career in modern construction, leading technological transformation in your organization, or conducting advanced research in the field, this book provides the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in construction's AI-driven future.

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

Improved usage of forensic science evidence by legal practitioners is essential to reduce miscarriages of justice. This book presents critical insights into contemporary issues of forensic proof from a broad perspective. Using DNA and fingerprint evidence, the authors compare and contrast the science of forensics and how it is communicated to judges, juries, and counsel. With authors from Australia, the UK, and the U.S., the book also addresses how these different countries address science in the courtroom. This resource is ideal for all those who work in forensic capacities, including those scientists who increasingly are called to testify abroad.

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official exposes how America's carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred makes a simple but rarely acknowledged case: America's prison system is failing not only the people it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which almost everyone returns. Rather than treating prisoners and correctional officers as opposing sides in a zero-sum struggle, the book shows how their lives are bound together by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At the heart of the book is an extraordinary exchange between two men who spent decades on opposite sides of the bars. Robert Barton has been incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons. Jack Donson is a retired Bureau of Prisons official who began as a correctional officer and rose to become a case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal how a system designed to punish and control ends up brutalizing prisoners while simultaneously eroding staff morale, health, and judgment, producing an adversarial environment that makes everyone less safe.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, No One Gets Out Unscarred examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration: routine lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, decaying infrastructure, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation. These realities are not presented as abstractions or policy talking points, but as lived experience, seen from inside a cell and from within the bureaucratic hierarchy tasked with enforcing the rules.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, the book asks a pragmatic question with urgent implications for public safety: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will eventually come home, what kind of prison system actually serves society? By centering shared trauma, accountability, and common-sense reform, No One Gets Out Unscarred reframes incarceration as a collective problem and opens a conversation long missing from the national debate.
