The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley

True Crime Stories

Neoliberalism fundamentally shapes how carceral systems and ideology emerge in our everyday lives. This volume illustrates not only the major frameworks at play, but the lived realities of how the carceral state insidiously infiltrates social institutions through neoliberal means. The authors evaluate and propose the ways that activism and other mechanisms of social change may reduce the damaging effects of these systems of power. The book features an interdisciplinary set of contributions from scholars, activists, and professionals with intimate knowledge of how the intersection of neoliberalism and carceral reach takes shape. The book will capture how these realities impact education, reproductive health and rights, housing justice, prison proliferation, and racial violence. The authors extend the frameworks of neoliberalism and carceral reach into other social institutions where we see hyperpunitiveness, targeting, and extreme social control of vulnerable groups. It explicates concrete strategies to disrupt these connections from people who have studied and worked in these institutions for decades.

Disrupting the Nexus of Neoliberalism and Carceral Reach

A Brutal Night in Victorian Bedford: The Story of Frederic Budd.

On a warm Sunday night in May 1863, 39-year-old solicitor Frederic Budd was walking home through the familiar streets of Bedford with his wife, Frances following a. pleasant day with friends. As they walked arm in arm along Castle Lane, a chance encounter with a group of men violently shattered their peaceful lives. Left bloodied and dazed, Frederic managed to reach his home on Kimbolton Road, by dawn the next morning, he was dead.

Two men stood trial for his murder. But how reliable were the witnesses that night? Could the words of the dead man be taken as fact? Was the evidence strong enough to send two individuals to a hangman's noose?

Based on meticulous research into court records, newspaper archives, and original testimonies, this book delves into the lives of the victim and those caught up in the dramatic events of the summer of 1863 in Bedford. Did the right men stand trial and did the jury deliver the right verdict?

The Killing in Castle Lane

A crucial subversion of the misconceptions around the participation of genderdiverse athletes advocating for the inclusion of trans and nonbinary athletes across all levels of sport The debate over the inclusion of gender diverse people in sport has become the latest battleground in the fight for basic human rights and equality. Trans and nonbinary people around the world are facing physical harm and violence—including death—at unprecedented rates. In Let Us Play, trans athlete Harrison Browne and investigative journalist Rachel Browne reveal how the opposition towards gender diverse athletes is fueled by fear and a moral panic as opposed to facts around what makes “a level playing field.”&nbsp; Interweaving Harrison’s first-hand experience as a transgender athlete with exclusive accounts—from athletes, coaches, policymakers, and advocates on the front lines—Let Us Play dismantles the illusion that sports have ever been fair, that trans athletes pose a threat to women’s sports, and that gender-affirming healthcare for athletes should be prohibitive to play.&nbsp; Calling for a reframing of the binaries from youth and high school levels all the way to the national leagues, Browne and Browneoffer a new path forward, led by solutions proposed by gender diverse athletes themselves. In more recent news, author Harrison Browne has jointed the Heated Rivalry universe! He plays Connors in episode 4, titled "Rose".

The Role of Apologies in the Law

'A remarkable story' - Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are Coming!

In 2003, 23-year-old Uzair Paracha was arrested by the US government and branded a terrorist. A Pakistani man living in New York, he was accused of providing 'material support' to al-Qaeda - a vague, catch-all charge invented in the chaotic aftermath of 9/11. He was offered a plea deal but refused, knowing he was innocent.

What followed was a nightmare: years in solitary confinement, a trial built on fear instead of facts, and a justice system determined to make an example of someone who they thought looked the part. Uzair's case wasn't an anomaly: it was the blueprint.

The Man Who Refused to Plead Guilty is more than one man's story: it's a stark reflection of the path the US chose after 9/11. A path that reached for demonisation before understanding, punishment before truth. Uzair Paracha's experience lays bare the human cost of a vengeful nation, how a heart filled with principle can find some small semblance of justice.

Beiträge zum Strafrecht – Contributions to Criminal Law

Neue Perspektiven für die japanische Strafrechtswissenschaft

Routledge Research in Legal Philosophy

This book argues that legal punishment is almost never morally justified. Many criminal law theorists think that this view is deeply at odds with common sense and that it's subject to decisive objections. Against these theorists, the book argues that the standard objections to this view fail and that commonsense judgments support it. Along the way, the book stakes out and defends novel positions in some longstanding debates in criminal law theory and ethics, including debates about the nature of punishment, the relevance of intentions to ethics, the significance of moral desert, and the implications that moral risk has for the criminal law. The book provides an accessible and thoroughly researched defense of a rarely defended position in the philosophy of punishment, making the book of interest to both established researchers in this area as well as students who are looking for an introduction to the topic.

An Argument for Abolition

Against Legal Punishment

Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists - they've all confided in her

'Remarkable'&nbsp;THE TIMES

Some are harder to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his... well, you get the picture. Jak, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway. And who could forget Steve who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer.

Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.

Racism, Resistance and Social Change

Racism and the cultural politics of punishment reveals the forms of disavowal, denial and obfuscation that are vital in allowing punitive and discriminatory state practices to appear unremarkable, inevitable and just. Focusing on the state's startlingly severe response to the English 'riots' of 2011, the book explores the imaginations and narratives - about crime, criminals, the public and punishment - that served to normalise and legitimise the harsh and inequitable punishment of the 'rioters'. Drawing on unique insights from interviews with prosecutors, sentencers, defence lawyers and policy-makers at the heart of the response, alongside analysis of media and political debates, Peacock shows how forms of ignorance were mobilised to justify and normalise this response, from amnesia about police racism and Britain's long history of unrest, to distorted imaginations of public opinion about justice and widespread denial about the violence of the prison system. Taken together, these shared narratives worked to justify the state's punitive reaction to the riots and to foreclose debate about the need for meaningful political and economic change in the wake of the unrest. Looking to recent events in Britain and beyond, Racism and the cultural politics of punishment offers timely insight into the cultural processes underpinning the punitive systems that disproportionately harm marginalised and racially minoritised communities. In a context where political obfuscation about structural racism demands sustained critical attention, the book offers insight into how such ignorance is produced, managed and sustained and offers valuable analysis for those seeking to challenge and dismantle it.

Constructing the 2011 English Unrest

Racism and the Cultural Politics of Punishment

From Senator Ted Cruz, a&nbsp;timely, authoritative exploration of Clarence Thomas’s life, ideas, and lasting impact on constitutional law For over three decades, Clarence Thomas has stood at the center of American law, enduring withering criticism and personal attacks while writing some of the most brilliant, accessible, transformational opinions in the Supreme Court’s history. His insistence that the Constitution, not merely judicial precedent, is the highest authority has reshaped American jurisprudence, and his lasting impact on the trajectory of constitutional law is undeniable. In this powerful and timely book, Senator Ted Cruz draws on his own Supreme Court clerkship, on his many years as a Supreme Court advocate, and on his now decades-long friendship with Justice Thomas to paint a portrait of one of the most consequential—and misunderstood—Americans in our nation’s history. Drawing on nine hours of exclusive, wide-ranging, and deeply personal one-on-one interviews with the Justice, Cruz reveals how Thomas’s most formative early experiences—like growing up in crushing poverty in segregated Georgia, his early encounters with extreme racism, and his brief stint in radical left-wing politics—forged a lifelong commitment to independence, self-reliance, and truth. From Thomas's early years studying to be a priest to his role today as the intellectual force behind some of the Court’s most significant decisions, Going Further traces the formation of one of our Constitution’s staunchest defenders and makes a rousing argument about why his life, his ideas, and his courage matter now more than ever.

The Trials of Gabriel Ward

A WATERSTONES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR A LITERARY REVIEW CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR 'As brilliant a cosy crime novel as you'll ever read' JANICE HALLETT 'A masterful voice in the mystery world' S. J. BENNETT CHRISTMAS EVE, 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London's most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until the mummified hand arrives in the post... While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself. Someone is holding a grudge that has led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game's afoot.

A Case of Life and Limb

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.
