The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley

True Crime Stories

An influential legal scholar argues that the Supreme Court played a pivotal role in the rise of mass incarceration in America. With less than 5 percent of the world's population and almost a quarter of its prisoners, America indisputably has a mass incarceration problem. How did it happen? Tough-on-crime politics and the war on drugs are obvious and important culprits, but another factor has received little attention: the Supreme Court. Since the 1960s, the Court has repeatedly disregarded constitutional limits on the state's power to lock people away. Justice Abandoned highlights six decisions that made mass incarceration possible. These rulings have been crucial to the rise in pretrial detention and coercive plea bargaining. They have blessed disproportionate sentencing and overcrowded prisons. And they have sanctioned innumerable police stops and widespread racial discrimination. If the Court were committed to protecting constitutional rights, none of these cases would have been decided as they were. Rachel Barkow offers a roadmap for change, showing that the originalist methodology adopted by the majority of the current Court demands overturning the unconstitutional policies underlying mass incarceration. If the justices genuinely believe in upholding the Constitution, then they have little choice but to reverse the wrongly decided precedents that have failed so many Americans.

How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration

Justice Abandoned

The Times best thrillers for April 2026 'A propulsive thriller' Irish Independent 'A tense, fast-paced thriller about moral compromise' i PAPER 'Tom Bradby has created a magnificent woman in Dr Laura Strong. [A] powerfully entertaining novel' Literary Review Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn't be this hard. Nights working thankless A&amp;E shifts. A much-loved disabled brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her. The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust. But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Behind the façade of Rafa's gilded existence lies a dark family history which he has been doing his best to avoid - until the death of his estranged father brings it crashing back into his - and Laura's - world. What had at first seemed to be a remarkable escape from an impossible situation now threatens to destroy everything Laura cares about. Friendless and far from home, she must rely on her own instincts to find a way out of this terrifying new landscape. Sometimes it's easier to trust the devil you know...

Anthropology and Ethics

This short book&nbsp;unites seven case studies from Africa, Europe, and the Americas to offer new solution-oriented ways of thinking about seemingly insurmountable&nbsp;social problems. These solution-oriented ways of thinking, as detailed in each of the seven case study chapters, emphasize how understanding the micro-dynamics of conflicts (and their rootedness in local sociocultural and associated institutional norms) is essential to developing ethical and pro-social responses to global social problems.

Beyond the Intractable

Ethical and Pro-Social Responses to Global Social Problems

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 Incomparable Clarence Thomas

Going Further

This essential book brings together leading criminology researchers from across the globe to explore the critical role of the 'evidence base' in crime and criminal justice. It began with a simple question: if experts were asked to write about the evidence base in their area of expertise, what would they say? Casting the net widely to ensure a diverse range of topics, contributors were given a straightforward brief: 5000 words on any aspect of the evidence base within their field. The result is a lively and accessible collection of papers offering critical assessments and insightful commentary on the state of research evidence.This book is designed for students, academics, policymakers, and practitioners in criminology, criminal justice, and related fields. It addresses the challenges of turning empirical evidence into effective policy and practice, while highlighting methodological, political, and practical issues faced by researchers. The chapters provide research-driven insights into the evidence base across various areas, making this an invaluable resource for understanding the intersection of research and public policy in criminal justice.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Evidence Base.

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?

Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century

Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology

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.

Beyond the Gavel: A Paradigm Shift in Global Criminal Justice

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.
