The Discourse of Police Interviews

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

An Introduction

The Penal System

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

Selected pieces on nature, history, politics, and urban culture from a master of the nonfiction narrative. Writing on subjects as diverse as the megafires that burned the grasslands of the Great Plains in 2018, the tragic secret life of the manufacturer of maraschino cherries, the world's largest beaver dam, and the invasive Burmese pythons of the Florida Everglades, Ian Frazier captures the multiplicity, the strangeness, and the wonder of contemporary life. This collection of pieces-consisting of features and reportage for The New Yorker and other magazines beginning in 1974, alongside work published as recently as 2024-showcases the wide-ranging play of Frazier's imagination. Astute and engaged, he is the supreme chronicler of the everyday, and a unique social and political anthropologist. More than fifty years of keen observation and avid curiosity come together in The Snakes That Ate Florida: wry, humane, and endlessly surprising, this volume once again confirms Frazier as one of the finest (and most delightful) essayists writing today.

The Snakes That Ate Florida

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.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

Over the last two decades, Pakistan has seen major legislative changes in the area of gender-based violence. This book explores the impact and ongoing influence of these changes. A frequent refrain in political and social commentary in Pakistan is that these laws, while transformative on paper, have not translated to actual change in the lives of women and girls because of poor implementation. Through analysis of court cases, data on criminal proceedings, and interviews with activists and survivors, this book demonstrates how the impact of progressive laws is influenced by entrenched social norms and structural flaws in state institutions, especially the criminal justice system. Sara Malkani sheds light on limitations of the formal justice system while showing how law reform can create openings for activists to pursue gender justice.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.

From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves. You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to. In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life—and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move. Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them. With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley’s signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking—especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one—and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it’s taking you farther from what matters. You'll discover: <ul><li>The Hasty Progress Illusion—why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold</li><li>The ASAP Matrix—how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you</li><li>The six Slowments in life and in work—the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next</li><li>How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it</li><li>When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work</li><li>How to stop confusing speed with progress—and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires</li></ul> ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals slowness as a generative force and for the first time gives you a way to harness life’s most important slow moments. Not by doing less, opting out, or becoming the kind of person who ferments things in a shed. But by knowing when speed helps—and when it hollows out the very thing you hoped it would serve. It’s time to choose the long road when the shortcut costs too much.

When to Take the Long Road in a Shortcut World

ASAP: As Slow as Possible

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official reveals how America’s carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred argues that the prison system fails not only those it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which most will return. Rather than opposing prisoners and correctional officers, it shows how their lives are shaped by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At its center is an extraordinary exchange between two men on opposite sides of the bars: Robert Barton, incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons, and Jack Donson, a retired Bureau of Prisons official who rose from correctional officer to case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal a system that brutalizes prisoners while eroding staff morale, health, and judgment.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, the book examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration—lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation—through lived experience on both sides.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, it asks a pragmatic question: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will return home, what kind of prison system actually serves society?
