The Palgrave Handbook of Violence in
Africa

The Palgrave Handbook of Violence in Africa

Ein argloser Sohn kurdischer Zuwanderer, der im elterlichen Auftrag seine Schwester und deren Säugling liquidiert; drei Jugendliche, die an einem langen Samstag in der Haft einen Mitinsassen in den Selbstmord treiben; ein smarter Anästhesist, der sich an sedierten Patientinnen vergeht: In den dokumentarischen Kriminalgeschichten von Joe Bausch lösen keine Monster, sondern eher gewöhnlich erscheinende Täter und Täterinnen die größten Schrecken aus. Der populäre Schauspieler, langjährige Gefängnisarzt und Erfolgsautor setzt sich auch in seinem neuen Buch über jeden Voyeurismus hinweg, um dunkle Kammern einer immer stärker fragmentierten Gesellschaft auszuleuchten. Die packenden Geschichten setzen den menschlichen Makel in den Kontext einer brisant gewandelten Zeit.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

This book is the final research outcome of a two-year interdisciplinary research project which explores the areas of Human Rights, Discourse and Law, and Gender and Sexuality. It analyses the discursive constructions in case law related to sexual, reproductive, and parental rights in selected international and European Courts, including the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the Court of Justice of the European Union, through a legal-linguistic interdisciplinary approach.This book explores the impact of PSB (prejudice, stereotypes, and bias) in human rights judicial discourse as well as anti-PSB strategies adopted by the selected courts. Through a mixed methodology, involving corpus-based analyses, linguists and legal experts investigate key topics in the areas of parenthood, sexuality, and reproduction, including abortion, surrogacy, health-related issues, and sexual violence. Ultimately, this book aims to respond to questions including: can PSB be traced in how judges express their decisions about sexual, reproductive and parental rights involving people sharing a specific gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity? If so, what is the impact and how can we eradicate PSB in discourse and protect against gender- and LGBTIQ+-based PSB, especially in the access to sexual, reproductive, and parental rights?Gianluca Pontrandolfo is Associate Professor of Spanish Language, Translation and Linguistics at&nbsp;University of Trieste, Italy.Carmelo Danisi is Associate Professor of Public International Law at Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy.

Prejudice, Stereotypes and Bias

Legal-Linguistic Perspectives on Human Rights Judicial Discourse

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

This book examines the role of the prison in the commissioning and delivery of theatre practice. It draws attention to discourses of publicly acceptable arts and other mechanisms of ‘soft power’ which shape access to prison theatre. Each chapter utilises engaging storytelling methods based on the authors own experience as a prison theatre practitioner to illustrate theory. The book explores understandings of the value of arts in prison and discuss how, in a neoliberal society, people in prison can be conceptualised as ‘deserving’ or ‘undeserving’ of these practices. It examines the role of the arts organisation in designing and delivering commissionable arts practice and in caring for both practitioners and participants. It also discusses the role of the university and the facilitator in delivering work that balances the often-conflicting agendas of the prison, the arts organisation and the participants alongside their own aims within a context of precarious employment. Finally, it examines the experience of participating in prison theatre, exploring incidents of care, interdependency and collective joy within the prison and assessing how, through the delivery of short-term and insecurely funded arts projects, prison theatre can produce experiences of both hope and harm.

Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

Sovereignty, Sacrifice, and Survival in Pakistan’s Necropolitical Order: Death’s Dominion examines how sovereignty, sacrifice, and survival are experienced by individuals living under Pakistan’s militant and counter-militant regimes. Drawing on unstructured, in-depth interviews with sectarian militants and interrupted martyrdom operatives, it transforms first-person testimony into a critical analysis of necropolitics: the power to determine who may live, who must remain vulnerable, and who may be exposed to death. The book shows how selective protection, institutional failure, militant violence, and exceptional security practices can produce “death-worlds” governed through insecurity, abandonment, and differential exposure to violence.Combining phenomenological inquiry with post-structural theory, the study reveals how state and non-state actors participate in overlapping moral and political economies of death, in which martyrdom, refusal, betrayal, and survival acquire political and sacred meanings. It advances the Pakistan-specific NEC Framework—National, Ethnosectarian, and Counterterror Necropolitics—to explain how competing forms of sovereignty intersect in shaping the national order. In dialogue with Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Achille Mbembe, and Judith Butler, the book also develops counter-necropolitics as a life-affirming project grounded in justice, accountability, rehabilitation, recognition, reparation, and counter-narratives.Munir Ahmad Zia Rao isDeputy Inspector General of Police, Punjab, Pakistan. He has a PhD in Terrorism Studies from the University of the Punjab.

Südlich der Sahara ? das erste Buch über den Sahel 
 
 Im Westen gilt der Sahel längst als Inbegriff von Terror, Vielfachkrise und demokratischem Zerfall. Zugleich verschärfen sich Konflikte mit westlichen Partnern, während neue geopolitische Allianzen entstehen ? etwa mit Russland, China und der Türkei. Doch diese Sicht blendet die Perspektiven der lokalen Bevölkerung aus. Am Beispiel von Burkina Faso, Mali und Niger zeigt der Soziologe und Menschenrechtsexperte Olaf Bernau, wie im Sahel um die Konturen einer polyzentrischen und somit postwestlichen Weltordnung gerungen wird. 
 
 Olaf Bernau plädiert in seinem neuen Buch für einen Perspektivwechsel. Er zeigt, dass die Umwälzungen im Sahel Teil eines globalen Wandels sind, in dem sich die Machtverhältnisse seit dem späten 20. Jahrhundert immer stärker zugunsten des globalen Südens verschieben. Große Teile der Bevölkerung sind nicht mehr bereit, die westliche Vormachtstellung widerspruchslos hinzunehmen. Maßgeblich sind jahrzehntelange Erfahrungen politischer und ökonomischer Marginalisierung, aber auch religiöse Überzeugungen und postkoloniale Selbstverständnisse. Auf der Grundlage regelmäßiger Aufenthalte im Sahel, zahlreicher Interviews und intensiver Recherchen verbindet Bernau regionale Analyse mit globaler Zeitdiagnose. Das Buch ist eine Einladung, den Sahel nicht länger als Randzone zu betrachten ? sondern als vielfältig geprägte Weltregion an der Schnittstelle zwischen Nord- und Subsahara-Afrika, in der sich das Ringen um die Konturen einer polyzentrischen und somit postwestlichen Weltordnung exemplarisch nachvollziehen lässt.

This book examines criminal justice from the complementary vantage points of forensic science, law, and criminology, through perspectives from India. It showcases original work with practical implementation and comprehensive reviews for future developments. Its eighteen original contributions offer readers from all three communities a substantive yet accessible engagement with the questions that define the pursuit of justice in 21st century, and deliberately builds bridges across disciplinary boundaries that too often remain separate.&nbsp; The book explores its themes along two closely intertwined lines of inquiry. On the scientific and technological front, it examines machine learning in document forensics, nuclear and metabolomic techniques in toxicological analysis, three-dimensional crime scene reconstruction, the deepfake challenge in the Indian context, and digital forensics in financial cybercrime. On the legal and criminological front, it addresses rape perpetration, domestic violence, prisoner mental health and suicidality, post-incarceration social reintegration, probation theory, capital punishment, euthanasia attitudes, and the role of forensic and medical evidence in proceedings of Supreme Court of India, together painting a picture of a justice system navigating profound human and procedural challenges. The readers who find important learnings in this volume include forensic scientists, legal professionals, law enforcement practitioners, criminologists, policymakers, academicians, and students who seek a holistic and interdisciplinary understanding of how science, law, and society converge in the administration of criminal justice.

Bristol Studies in Comparative and International Education

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book provides a critical reflection on the relationship between education, conflict, war and peace and the global actors and practitioners that have devised strategies to engage and support education systems in conflict-affected contexts. Exploring a wide range of issues from development assistance to education, peacebuilding, de-radicalisation programmes and global governance, it evidences the challenges and the promises of education's complex relationship to war and peace. The book highlights the field's entanglements with geopolitics and imperial interventions, which have shaped its actions and undermined and limited its potential to support social transformation towards peace with social justice.

From Education for All to Scholasticide

Education in Emergencies

This book offers a pioneering and deeply insightful examination of one of the most challenging dilemmas in contemporary counterterrorism and international law: how to legally and morally assess the responsibility of female suicide bombers affiliated with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. It exposes a critical legal blind spot where female bombers are caught in a 'grey zone' - neither fully prosecuted nor released - due to conflicting norms around gender, victimhood and terrorism. Drawing on extensive research including interviews, case studies of failed suicide bombers, and legal analysis of terrorism cases, it develops a novel culpability framework that moves beyond simplistic notions of guilt or innocence. By exploring the complex spectrum of moral and legal responsibility, this framework offers a much-needed tool for policymakers, judges, practitioners, academics and students dealing with terrorism, war crimes and transitional justice. It challenges prevailing gender stereotypes that often either criminalise women excessively or excuse them arbitrarily and instead provides a nuanced approach that recognises female bombers as individuals whose actions range from coerced victimhood to accountable perpetrators. More than a legal study, this book humanises the lived realities of women involved in violent extremism and highlights the urgent need for legal systems worldwide to adapt. It is essential reading for scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in terrorism, gender, human rights and international justice.
