Ibero-American Criminal Sciences

This book examines the rise of financial totalitarianism and its profound implications for criminal justice and criminological theory. It explores how the concentration of wealth and social exclusion, driven by corporate CEOs, has altered the role of politics in shaping criminal justice systems. The text argues that these shifts have given rise to a dystopian criminology, marked by a focus on total security, extreme prevention, zero tolerance policies, and pervasive surveillance. It critically assesses how these developments contribute to the criminalization of dissent, foster societal fears of outsiders, and institutionalize ethnic and cultural discrimination, all while maintaining a façade of administrative control. Drawing on historical and contemporary analysis, the book offers a framework for rethinking criminology in the context of financial and political power, advocating for a more critical approach to understanding crime, punishment, and justice in an increasingly unequal world.

Criminology in Times of Financial Totalitarianism

The New Criminological Critique

This book brings together studies in forensics, law and criminology, which are all equally essential for a fair criminal justice system. It gives a comprehensive view to a wide variety of readers from the three communities across the globe to connect the dots which link all these three subjects, thus catalyzing interdisciplinary collaborations. The book explores the topics through four themes -- exploring forensic science in the 21st century; looking at law and criminal justice in the new millennium; contemporary trends in criminology; and, medico-legal aspects of human identification.The readers who will find important learnings in the book include scientists, legal and law enforcement practitioners, academicians and students to create a holistic environment for cumulative and collaborative approach towards the criminal justice system.

Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century

Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology

An obsession with a beautiful serial killer entangles a vampire hunter's daughter in an immortal sapphic romance in this mesmerising new gothic fantasy from the bestselling author of Lucy Undying. Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsing - doctor, scientist, and madman devoted to studying vampires - up until the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body. It soon becomes clear that her father isn't the only inexplicably dead body. So, obsessed with vengeance, and armed with the latest in forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch her mysterious serial killer. But, for reasons even she can't explain, Anneke keeps some crucial evidence to herself: infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to her, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signed Diavola. Devil. The obsession is mutual, and all the more dangerous for it. And the closer Anneke gets to her devil, the less sense the world makes. Could her father have been right all along? Could Diavola be something even more deadly than a serial killer? Because as Anneke unearths more of Diavola's tragic past, she suspects there's still a heart somewhere in that undead body. A heart that beats for Anneke alone.

The Fox and the Devil

This book offers a global and critical investigation into how technology is transforming the practices, cultures, and ethics of policing. Through international case studies spanning the United States, South Africa, New Zealand, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Australia, it explores the integration of crime analysis, predictive policing, cybercrime response, surveillance tools, and artificial intelligence into law enforcement operations.&nbsp;
The chapters examine how technological tools—from real-time data systems to drones and AI—are increasingly central to crime prevention and investigation. Yet, rather than treating these tools as neutral or universally beneficial, the book foregrounds the institutional, cultural, and political contexts in which they operate. It considers how these technologies reflect and reinforce existing assumptions about crime, risk, and criminality, often in ways that disproportionately impact marginalized communities.
Drawing on the perspectives of both experienced practitioners and academic researchers, the book critically engages with issues such as the portrayal of policing technologies in media, the ethical limits of AI in law enforcement, and the challenges faced by police agencies in responding to cybercrime. It additionally highlights how police organizations navigate the promises and perils of technology, often without adequate oversight, resources and financial budgeting, and how innovation can sometimes outpace accountability and organizational implementation.
By examining how technologies are deployed, interpreted, and contested within specific policing environments, this volume contributes to wider discussions around surveillance, data justice, and algorithmic governance. It offers practical insights and policy recommendations aimed at improving police effectiveness while addressing the social implications of emerging technologies and their use by police agencies.

Forensics For Dummies

Cambridge Bioethics and Law

Personhood, in liberal philosophical and legal traditions, has long been grounded in the idea of autonomy and the right to legal capacity. However, in this book, Julia Duffy questions these assumptions and shows how such beliefs exclude and undermine the rights of adults with cognitive disability. Instead, she reinterprets the right to legal capacity through the principle of the interdependence and indivisibility of human rights. In doing so, she compellingly argues that dignity and not autonomy ought to be the basis of personhood. Using illustrative case studies, Duffy demonstrates that the key human rights values of autonomy, dignity and equality can only be achieved by fulfilling a range of interdependent human rights. With this innovative book challenging common assumptions about human rights and personhood, Duffy leads the way in ensuring civil, economic, political, social, and cultural inclusion for adults with cognitive disabilities.

Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies

<div>“The book’s focus on institutional harm is a refreshing approach, overcoming the customary focus on individual responsibility to foreground how the historic processes of racialized policing continue to undermine the everyday lives of Black British peoples including their ability to integrate. This study crosses disciplinary boundaries giving it wide appeal beyond academia, to include activists, policymakers, teachers, and anyone with an interest in understanding what it means to be criminalized and surveilled.”</div>
<div>-Dr Esmorie J. Miller, Lancaster University, School of Sciences, UK</div>
This book explores the historical and contemporary policing of Black communities in Britain, revealing how much has — and hasn’t — changed. Drawing on 58 interviews with young people, elders, and community workers in a heavily policed North London neighbourhood, it offers a powerful, intergenerational account of racialised policing and its everyday consequences. Through an intersectional lens, it examines how race, gender, class, and place overlap to shape Black Britons’ encounters with police and their sense of belonging. Through the voices of those most affected, the book traces how these experiences have produced enduring cultural narratives of mistrust, resistance, and exclusion. Exposing how policing continues to racialise and criminalise certain communities designated suspect status, it connects these practices to the legacies of empire and the politics of othering. It concludes by considering what these histories mean for the present and future of police-community relations and offers practical recommendations for building trust, accountability, and justice.
Bisi Akintoye is Lecturer at University of Roehampton, UK, and a solicitor whose research focuses on the intersection between race, drugs, policing, and youth experiences.

The Long Shadow

Black Britons, Race, and Policing

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding and preventing police misconduct in the twenty-first century. Drawing on empirical research across multiple jurisdictions, it explores how our understanding of police misconduct has evolved over time, tracing the changing view of how misconduct emerges, evolves, and persists within law enforcement organisations. Through detailed analyses of stress, typologies, disciplinary systems, prediction and early intervention, it demonstrates how misconduct can, at times, be identified and either managed or disrupted before escalating into crisis. Integrating perspectives on more advanced analytical methods, including machine learning, network analytics, life-course and longitudinal approaches, this book bridges theory, data, and practice to consider structural and behavioural roots of deviance among police. Rather than treating misconduct solely as an individual failing, it presents misconduct as a systemic challenge that demands holistic, data-driven reform. Combining an understanding of historical research with applied modern insights, it is important reading for policing professionals and researchers seeking to understand and build transparent and ethically resilient interventions for police misconduct.
