The Sociable Person and the Law

Recognising and Regulating the Social Dimension of the Human Experience

Geopolitics and the High North

The Arctic Großraum

A riveting account of how the US criminal legal system punishes millions without conviction--asking us to rethink the freedoms we give up for the illusion of safety.Every encounter with the criminal legal system, from a traffic stop to a day in jail, carries a human cost. This cost rests on a fragile bargain at the heart of our democracy: we give the government power in exchange for protection. But how much of our liberty are we willing to surrender for the promise of safety? In Collateral Damage, attorneys Justin and Zach Brooks take readers on a devastating tour through the criminal legal system, exposing the real-life trade-offs of this false promise. Blending gripping personal stories with legal analysis, they trace the long arc of America's struggle between fear and freedom--from the Red Scare and Japanese American internment to the evolution of criminal procedure, civil forfeiture, and today's extrajudicial killings, offering pragmatic reforms along the way. The result is an eye-opening portrait of a system that punishes millions without ever sending them to prison and a powerful warning to rethink whether the balance we've struck truly reflects the values we claim to hold.

Sacrificing Liberty for Safety in Our Criminal Legal System

Collateral Damage

A Radio 4 Book of the Week 'Fascinating . . . While the rest of us are worrying about it, Dorcas Gwata is doing something about it' - HHJ Wendy Joseph, author of Unlawful Killings 'The appetite for medical memoirs has never been greater . . . a welcome and important addition' - The Independent Through the lives of ten young people an award-winning nurse reveals the impact of gang culture on mental health. Dorcas Gwata is an award-winning nurse specialising in mental health. She has worked closely with vulnerable young people exposed to the knife crime, sexual exploitation, drug use and poor mental health associated with gangs. In The Street Clinic, we accompany her in her work as she meets and cares for young people on the street and on their terms. We meet Fuz, who is on trial for aggravated assault. There's Abdul, who's exploring his sexuality and has been humiliated online. Louise's promising future is compromised by her controlling boyfriend. And there's Zane, whose parents' divorce opens up an emotional hole in his life that's plugged by an ill-chosen new friendship. Drawing on her own experiences of loss and social injustice, and twenty-five years on the NHS frontline, Dorcas offers a bird's-eye view of London: its multicultural population, wealth inequalities, tireless healthcare professionals, and an NHS that doesn't always work for everyone. And she asks the big questions: What lies behind London's youth violence crisis? What is its impact on the mental health of its victims? How are the families of our young people and the wider community affected? Exposing some uncomfortable truths about British society, The Street Clinic is also a powerful story of resilience, strength and, ultimately, hope. With photographs by Chanel Pinnock

10 Young Lives on the Frontline of Gang Culture

The Street Clinic

Multilateral environmental agreements have over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues such as climate change. This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement - and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements. Also emphasised is the impact of emerging economies in shaping international environmental regimes.

Environmental Multilateralism and its Discontents

Brexit involves a break from the environmental regulation regime of the EU, including the oversight by the European Commission. A large proportion of existing environmental law and policy in the UK derives from the EU, with its implementation largely monitored and enforced by EU institutions such as the European Commission. The Environment Act 2021 introduces a new regime of environmental principles and governance to fulfil the role that will be lost upon Brexit. The Act creates a new regime of environmental policy for the UK, together with a new system of targets, monitoring and reporting on issues such as air quality, water, waste and biodiversity. It also creates an entirely new body - the Office for Environmental Protection - with wide-ranging enforcement powers, and a new form of litigation: environmental review. In addition, the Act extends and develops environmental law sectorally in a number of significant ways, including by on waste collection, biodiversity net gain, conservation covenants and due diligence on forest risk commodities. This new book will provide a practitioners' guide to the implementation of the Act including related legislation and regulations made under it. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

Environmental Protection, Principles and Governance

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

AI and Constitutional Law in Europe

Democracy in the Age of Disinformation

This book explores human vulnerability through the lens of natural law theory. Beginning with a detailed examination of natural law ethics, centred upon the virtues (Part One), it sets out the relationship between natural law and human vulnerability. To be human is to be vulnerable; but vulnerability must itself be understood by reference to the human goods that are the central concern of natural law ethics. Such goods lie at the heart of what it means to lead a flourishing life, but they are in no way certain: goods such as health, education, the family can all be perverted or taken away by human agency or the vicissitudes of life. Part Two poses the problem of how human beings and government can build resilience in the face of these vulnerabilities. Its main contention is that the central aims of vulnerability theory, including that of state responsiveness, are pre-figured in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. These teachings provide a compelling basis for the demand that the state be more responsive to social scourges such as poverty, crime, debt and dependency. Vulnerability theorists will benefit from a new perspective on the problems that are central to their analysis; natural law theorists will profit by an enrichment and extension of their central concerns.

This interdisciplinary collection illuminates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Europe and their divergent history from the 18th century to the present day. The 18th century was a pivotal period in terms of how the rules governing marriage and divorce were determined, with authority to set and adjudicate on rules shifting from religious authorities to the state. This book evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, or norms and whether further suggestions for reform have been made. Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe examines how, and the extent to which, marriage formation and dissolution are regulated in the written texts of the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions. The contributors analyse the respective traditions' teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including these traditions' views as to the socially binding character of these teachings. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe examine the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religious and other cultural influences. This book brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars across Europe, and will be a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.
