Nicholas T. Lappas: Forensic Toxicology

Forensic Toxicology

Principles and Concepts

Voices from the Inside traces how incarcerated women and trans and nonbinary individuals in California use writing as a form of organizing, survival, and political analysis. Exploring the dynamics of agency and voice in incarcerated women's communicative lives and their strategies of resistance, survival, and resilience, this account brings an abolition-feminist lens to our understanding of the gendered harms of incarceration. Importantly, it develops a theory of incarcerated women's public sphere as an organized space of critical resistance and advocacy which, in turn, plays a key role in shaping legal doctrine and policy reform debates. Painting a richly textured portrait of incarcerated women as change agents, this powerful account of oppression and resistance behind bars offers a blueprint for activists on the inside and outside alike.

Incarcerated Women Speak

Voices from the Inside

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERWe're living in a cashless age, yet more money is printed than ever before. Up to $5 trillion is washed globally each year - and criminals keep almost all of it. Without money laundering, crime doesn't pay. Yet every effort to stop them has failed. Why?Oliver Bullough is on a mission to find out, following a trail from Miami to Hong Kong via crooked casinos, printers churning out eye-watering quantities of banknotes and a luxury shopping outlet on the edge of Oxfordshire.Because only by understanding this dark world - where designer goods and baby eels prop up vast, illicit flows of dirty banknotes - can we ever hope to dismantle it.

The Secret Life of Dirty Money

Everybody Loves Our Dollars

This book provides a key point of reference on the translation of tax policy into legislation and other legal norms. There is a great deal of frustration about how this takes place at present. Thousands of hours are spent on fundamental reviews of tax law yet very little seems to change. There are points of systematic resistance to tax law reform. Tax legislation is prone to misjudgements and sometimes even mistakes. Systems of democratic and expert scrutiny leave much to be desired. There are also concerns about undue influence, and bad decisions can create path dependencies that are difficult to escape. These matters are explored in detail in this book by an inspiring cast of established and early-career researchers from various jurisdictions. The authors have entered into dialogues about what it means to translate tax policy into law, who is and who should be responsible, how things work in different legal systems, and whether existing approaches could be improved. The book is accessible to those new to taxation and legislative processes as well as to experts, and is recommended for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Legislation and Beyond

Translating Tax Policy into Law

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Today's Crime and Punishment Issues

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.

American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present

How policing has fundamentally shaped the Latinx experience.The history of Latinx groups in the United States has been marked, from the beginning, by experiences of criminalization and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Marisol LeBrón argues that policing has left an indelible mark on Latinx communities across the country and has come to shape our understanding of what it means to be Latinx. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present, Policed examines how policing became a key component in the formation of Latinx identity and political consciousness, and still lies at the heart of many pressing issues confronting Latinx communities today, including immigration, employment, health, and housing. More than simply telling a story of police brutality and harassment, LeBrón powerfully shows that Latinx people have continually resisted state violence and worked to build a more liberated future.

La Morgue: Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik&nbsp;In 'La Morgue' verbindet die britische Historikerin Dr. Catriona Byers fundierte Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte mit historischem True Crime und zeigt, wie das städtische Leichenschauhaus von Paris zwischen 1804 und 1907 zum Schmelztiegel der modernen Kriminologie, Rechtsmedizin und Stadtgesellschaft wurde. Entlang der akribisch rekonstruierten Lebenswege von zwölf Toten entfaltet das Sachbuch ein Panorama des 19. Jahrhunderts - einer Epoche, in der die französische Metropole zwischen Revolutionen, Seuchen und städtebaulicher Radikalisierung das moderne Leben hervorbrachte.Morbides Theater und die Geburtsstunde des True CrimeÜber ein Jahrhundert lang bildete die Pariser Morgue direkt im Schatten von Notre-Dame einen der meistbesuchten öffentlichen Orte Europas. Bis zu 50.000 Schaulustige drängten sich an Spitzentagen vor den bodentiefen Schaufenstern, hinter denen unbekannte Leichen auf zwölf gekühlten Marmortischen zur Schau gestellt wurden. Was von der Polizeipräfektur ursprünglich zur Identifizierung namenloser Toter eingerichtet worden war, entwickelte sich rasch zu einer weltberühmten Touristenattraktion: Fliegende Händler verkauften vor den Toren Waffeln, Kastanien und Eis, während die Morgue in internationalen Reiseführern als makabres Spektakel gelistet wurde. Gleichzeitig begründeten die detaillierten Zeitungsberichte über zerstückelte Leichen und ungeklärte Mordtaten die moderne Faszination am Grauen und den Siegeszug des True-Crime-Genres.Wissenschaft auf dem Seziertisch: Geburtsort der modernen RechtsmedizinHinter den Schauräumen vollzog sich zeitgleich ein revolutionärer epistemischer Wandel:<ul><li>Pionierfeld der Kriminalistik: Führende Gerichtsmediziner wie Alphonse Devergie und Paul Brouardel sowie Kriminologen wie Alexandre Lacassagne nutzten die Toten für bahnbrechende Autopsie- und Toxikologie-Lehrgänge.</li><li>Systematisierung der Identifikation: Alphonse Bertillon entwickelte an den Toten und Inhaftierten der Morgue das weltweit erste standardisierte System polizeilicher Anthropometrie und Post-mortem-Fotografie (Bertillonage).</li><li>Mikrokosmos der Moderne: Die Toten spiegeln die sozialen Brüche der Ära - von Opfern des rasanten Bahnverkehrs über verzweifelte Suizide im Zuge von Urbanisierung und Verelendung bis hin zu Opfern spektakulärer Gewaltverbrechen.</li><li>Muse der Weltliteratur: Das Institut inspirierte Generationen von Schriftstellern und Dichtern, von Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens und Émile Zola bis hin zu Gottfried Benns expressionistischem Zyklus.</li></ul>&nbsp;3 Gründe, dieses Buch zu lesen<ol><li>Verbindung von Makro- und Mikrogeschichte: Byers erzählt die Modernisierung von Paris nicht aus der Perspektive der Herrschenden, sondern anhand vergessener Einzelschicksale, die auf den Marmortischen der Morgue endeten </li><li>Fundierte forensische Fachhistorie: Anschaulich, archivgestützt und ohne Sensationshascherei wird gezeigt, wie Rechtsmedizin, Kriminalanthropologie und Identifikationstechniken im 19.

In ihrer Forschung spezialisierte sie sich auf die Geschichte der Leichenhäuser von Paris und New York im Zeitraum von 1864 bis 1914. Sie wurde von der BBC als 'Next Generation Thinker 2024' nominiert und vermittelt medizinhistorische Themen einem breiten Publikum (u. a. via Instagram unter @heymorguegirl). Catriona Byers lebt in Paris.Für Leser:innen von:<ul><li>Andrea Wulf (Fabelhafte Rebellen)</li><li>David Grann ('Der Untergang der Wager')</li><li>Historischen True-Crime- und Wissenschaftssachbüchern</li></ul>&nbsp;Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)Worum geht es in 'La Morgue' von Catriona Byers?Das Buch rekonstruiert die Geschichte des Pariser Leichenschauhauses zwischen seiner Eröffnung 1804 und der Schließung der öffentlichen Zurschaustellung 1907. Entlang von zwölf ausgewählten Todesfällen analysiert Byers die Morgue als Knotenpunkt von öffentlichem Spektakel, städtischem Wandel und der Entstehung von Kriminologie, Forensik und Rechtsmedizin.Warum zählte das Pariser Leichenschauhaus Zehntausende Besucher täglich?Die Pariser Morgue auf der Île de la Cité war frei zugänglich. Hinter großen Glasfenstern wurden unbekannte Wasserleichen und Mordopfer aufgebahrt, damit Angehörige oder Bekannte sie identifizieren konnten. Durch die Berichterstattung der Massenpresse wandelte sich der Ort rasch zu einem urbanen Treffpunkt für Voyeure, Touristen und Literaten.Welche Bedeutung hatte die Morgue für die Entstehung der Kriminalistik?Die Einrichtung diente den führenden Gerichtsmedizinern der Pariser Universität als Forschungs- und Ausbildungsstätte. Hier wurden standardisierte Obduktionsprotokolle entwickelt, Kälteanlagen zur Leichenkonservierung erprobt und Methoden wie die Bertillonage (anthropometrische Erfassung) sowie die forensische Fotografie etabliert.Welche Fälle werden im Buch behandelt?Byers schildert unter anderem den Fall der 'Frau in Stücken' (Jeanne Marie Le Manach), den sensationellen Prozess um die 'Blutige Kiste' (Gouffé, Michel Eyraud und Gabrielle Bompard), postmortale Fotodokumentationen anonymer Tagelöhner sowie die gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von Suizid und Großstadtelend im 19. Jahrhundert.

Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik

La Morgue

This book offers fresh perspectives on the role of addiction in prior fault culpability by integrating legal, psychological, neuroscientific and philosophical dimensions. Are intoxicated defendants responsible for harms they cause to persons and property when intoxicated? Should they be criminally liable for those harms, even if they act without intention or control? What if their intoxicated state is associated with addiction? Analysing the complex interactions between addiction, intoxication and law, prior fault is addressed from various jurisdictions including predominantly England and Wales, Scotland, and the Netherlands, while also incorporating multiple disciplines, thereby discussing prior fault structures from overarching, non-jurisdictional perspectives. These different disciplines and legal systems are not merely described but closely integrated through co-authored chapters, involving academics from different disciplinary fields and legal traditions. This collection is a thorough resource for students, academics, researchers, and practising lawyers who aim to deepen their understanding of the law's approach towards addiction and intoxication. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of a collaborative approach between different legal traditions and interdisciplinary scientific understanding, thereby laying the groundwork for future legal reforms, informed legal practice, and research.
