Equitable and Sustainable Access and Regulation

Water Justice and Groundwater Subsidies in India

Transnational Criminal Justice

This book provides a stocktake and comparative socio-legal analysis of law enforcement cooperation strategies in four different regions of the world: the European Union (EU), North America, Greater China and Australasia.

The Legal Context of Transnational Law Enforcement Cooperation

Policing Global Regions

This book provides a stocktake and comparative socio-legal analysis of law enforcement cooperation strategies in four different regions of the world: the European Union (EU), North America, Greater China and Australasia. 

The work analyses law enforcement cooperation mechanisms within the socio-legal framework of global normmaking. The strategies addressed range from legal frameworks facilitating cooperation to formal and informal police networks and cooperation practices. The study also takes into account crime-specific engagement, for example campaigns focusing on drug crimes, terrorism, financial crime, kidnappings and other offences. It explores challenges in policing practice and human rights protection in each region that could be countered by existing strategies in another. As regions usually develop more advanced cooperation mechanisms than exist at a global scale, strategies found in the former could help find solutions for the latter. To map existing strategies and assess their impact on both human rights and policing practice this study relies on an assessment of the primary and secondary literature sources in each region as well as interviews with practitioners ranging from senior police officers to prosecutors, government officials, customs and military staff. 

This book presents a valuable resource for academics and postgraduate students, as well as policing and criminal justice practitioners, government officials and policy makers.

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

This book explores various contemporary aspects of the growing field of housing, land and property (HLP) rights. HLP rights have undergone a major transformation in recent decades, but much remains to be done to bring their promise to the billions of people who have yet to access them. This work presents several innovative ways by which the entire field of HLP rights can be strengthened in support of those to whom they are promised by human rights laws. It outlines the author's suggestions for creating a new World Restitution Agency, expanding our understanding of the term 'internationally wrongful act' to HLP crimes, the links between mine action and HLP rights in post-conflict societies and the need to include HLP issues in peace agreements. The book concludes with several chapters that outline suggestions for better addressing climate displacement, including the need for national climate land banks, the role of the courts and how to redistribute global wealth towards rehousing the millions set to be displaced from their homes and lands due to the effects of climate change. The volume will be essential reading for academics, researchers and policymakers working in the areas of international human rights law, housing, land and property issues, humanitarian issues and climate change.

Vicarious Liability in the Sports Industry

This book uses a human rights perspective - developed philosophically, politically and legally - to change the way in which we think about drug control issues.


The prohibitionist approach towards tackling the 'drugs problem' is not working. The laws and mentality that see drugs as the problem and tries to fight them, makes the 'drugs problem' worse. While the law is the best-placed mechanism to regulate our actions in relation to particular drugs, this book argues against the stranglehold of the criminal law, and instead presents a human rights perspective to change the way we think about drug control issues. Part I develops a conceptual framework for human rights in the context of drug control - philosophically, politically and legally - and applies this to the domestic (UK) and international drug control system. Part II focuses on case law to illustrate both the potential and the limitations of successfully applying this unique perspective in practice. The conclusion points towards a bottom-up process for drug policy which is capable of reconfiguring the mentality of prohibition. 


This book will be of interest to students and scholars of human rights, criminal law, criminology, politics and socio-legal studies.

A New Perspective

Human Rights and Drug Control

Routledge Studies in Policing and Society

Building on five years of research, and drawing on criminology, science and technology studies (STS), socio-legal studies and social psychology, this book is the first non-medical book written on electric-shock weapons, of which the best well known is the TASER brand. 

The police's ability to use force is one of their most crucial powers, yet one that has been relatively neglected by criminology. This book challenges some of the myths surrounding the use of these weapons and considers their human rights implications and impact on members of the public and officers alike. Drawing on STS, it also considers the role and impact of electric-shock technologies, examines the extent to which technologies and non-human agency may also play a role in shaping officer decision making and discretion, and contributes to long standing debates about police accountability.

This is essential reading for policing scholars around the world, particularly those engaged with use of force, culture and accountability, as well as those engaged with Science and Technology studies.

Myth and Misogyny

Domestic Violence Law in India

In "Buried Alive Behind Prison Walls," Thomas S. Gaines delivers a harrowing exploration of the American penal system, weaving together first-hand accounts and meticulous research to reveal the often-hidden realities of life within prison walls. Gaines employs a stark yet poignant literary style that vacillates between evocative narrative and factual exposition, immersing the reader in the psychological torment faced by inmates. Set against the backdrop of a burgeoning prison-industrial complex, the work interrogates themes of isolation, human dignity, and systemic failures, making it a crucial contribution to contemporary discussions about criminal justice reform. Thomas S. Gaines, an investigative journalist and social critic, draws upon his extensive experience observing and reporting the human condition within institutional settings. His commitment to uncovering the truth about societal injustices stems from his deep-seated belief in reform and the rights of the marginalized. This book emerges not only as an indictment of a flawed system but also as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit amidst inhumane conditions. Gaines's poignant narrative and compelling insights make "Buried Alive Behind Prison Walls" an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the prison system. It is a powerful reminder of the humanity that exists behind bars and calls for empathy and change, positioning it as a vital resource for students, activists, and general readers interested in social justice.
