This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Charity Law and Post-mortem Identity

Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

This book investigates the experiences of women inmates in Alipore Women’s Correctional Home and Dum Dum Central Correctional Home in West Bengal, India. It explores their socio-economic background, the major factors that led to their incarceration, the nature of their crimes, the problems that women inmates and their children face inside the correctional homes, and their dealings with the judiciary.
Using a mixed methods framework, this volume helps us to understand how multiple hegemonies can affect the offence done by a particular woman. Through inmate interviews, this book provides a window into their struggles and decisions. The narratives contain rich information on their motives and ‘modus operandi’ and produce data on how the ‘self’ is constructed by reflecting upon the complex nature of values, identities, cultures and communities of the inmates. The analytical framework further challenges positivism in contemporary criminology. Advancing feminist criminological agendas, this book aims to help influence the creation and implementation of public policy to improve the conditions of female inmates in correctional homes in countries like India.

Sisterhood in Distress

Women in Correctional Homes in West Bengal

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. “A searing, compassionate, and utterly necessary book that pulls back the curtain with the clarity of a lawyer and the heart of someone who’s seen the criminal legal system’s devastating consequences up close.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts—that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system’s core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don’t want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We’ll learn what’s working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood’s murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won’t change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.

Eine profilierte christliche Positionierung für den KI-ethischen Diskurs ist Anspruch dieser Einführung in Begründungs- und Anwendungsfragen. Ein christlicher Wertekompass wird als Kriterium ethischer Akzeptabilität vorgestellt. Mit ihm lassen sich weltanschauliche Technikträume wie der Transhumanismus im Westen und Überlegenheitsvisionen in Fernost (China, Japan) einordnen. Danach werden Anwendungsfelder wie Pflege, Verwaltung, Militär und Kirche diskutiert. Das Buch macht christliche Sozialethik mit eigenen Positionen sprachfähig für ein drängendes Zukunftsthema.

Christliche KI-Ethik

Die Gesellschaft rückt nach rechts, der 
 gebärfähige Körper
 wird zum Politikum. Bestechend klug analysiert 
 Sibel Schick
 , warum mit unseren Körpern keine Politik gemacht werden darf.
 
 Dass 
 Schwangerschaftsabbrüche Leben retten
 können, hat Sibel Schick am eigenen Leib erfahren. Und auch, gegen welche Widerstände sie ankämpfen musste, bevor der rettende Eingriff durchgeführt wurde. 
 Körperliche Selbstbestimmung
 ist aber keine Privatsache: Ob und unter welchen Bedingungen wir Kinder bekommen wollen, ist hochpolitisch. 
 Reproduktive Freiheit
 wird heute unter Strafe gestellt, Staaten bestimmen über den 
 Zugang zu medizinischer Versorgung
 – auch in Deutschland. 
 Berührend und kämpferisch
 zeigt Schick, dass echte Gerechtigkeit in einer 
 gemeinsamen Befreiung
 liegt.

How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy

The Second Estate

This book focuses on a community as a grassroots bargaining unit with requisite skills and capacities sufficient to restore some balance with governments and enterprises, specifically relating to resource allocation and land-use. Specifically, it presents a deployable operational platform for communities to represent their contributions and the value of their assets. Three fundamental requirements anchor the platform: (1) a specific boundary of a community defined in terms of its physical habitat and its ecological-economic-social linkages, (2) an underlying ideology synthesizing theories on epistemology, growth, development, evolution, sociobiology, human settlements, and integral thinking, and (3) a supportive community-based valuation system depicting the value of community assets, incorporating ecological dimensions.

A compendium of updated papers, essays, and project reports, this book is based principally on a program by economist/community activist Sixto Roxas, who championed poverty eradication in impoverished communities for nearly 30 years. Readers will see this advocacy and grounded work not only in terms of a fruitful discourse but as an opportunity for an engaged reality.

From Alleviation To Empowerment: Ruminations On Poverty, Capitalism, And Communities

Dimensionen der Sorge

Forderungen nach Würde scheinen im Kontext der Pflege omnipräsent. Meist sind es Negativschlagzeilen, welche auf Missstände und Handlungsbedarfe hinweisen. Zwischen Fachkräftemangel und Zeitdruck ist das Personal in seinem alltäglichen, beruflichen Handeln dazu aufgefordert, Würde in diesen Kontexten her- und sicherzustellen, wobei nicht selten auch die eigene Würde unter Druck gerät. 
Dieses Buch macht die implizite Omnipräsenz von Würdefragen explizit. Es zeigt am Fall eines vollstationären Pflegeheims die alltäglichen, würdebezogenen Handlungsprobleme ebenso auf, wie die vielfältigen, mitunter widersprüchlichen Strategien, an der Würde zu Pflegender, aber auch der eigenen Würde zu arbeiten.

How Household Employers Exploit Domestic Workers

The Trafficker Next Door

THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • WINNER OF THE 2025&nbsp;ZÓCALO&nbsp;BOOK PRIZE A humanitarian leader with more than two decades of experience working for the United Nations takes aim at the global food crisis—revealing how hunger anywhere affects lives everywhere and what steps we can take to change course. "This book should be required reading for the entire human race." —Jonathan Safran Foer, author of We Are the Weather At the turn of the twenty-first century, more than 150 countries pledged to eradicate hunger by 2030. But with only a few years left, we’re far from reaching that goal. Instead, hunger is on the rise—America itself recently experienced levels of food insecurity not seen since the Great Depression. How could the richest nation in the world have so many people going hungry? In The New Breadline, aid worker and activist Jean-Martin Bauer unravels this paradox. Bauer’s family fled to America during the terrors of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. Now on the brink of mass starvation, Haiti and its grim history inspired Bauer to make food justice his life's work. During his long career with the UN, Bauer learned firsthand that the problem of hunger is always political—and like all political conditions, hunger, he knew, was something we could work to change. Drawing from his fieldwork in the most hunger-prone countries across the globe—from Haiti, where elites hoard imported French cheese, to Madagascar, where foreign corporations are snatching up valuable land from local farmers, to right here in America, where the lines at food banks continue to grow—Bauer weaves profound personal insight with a keen understanding of the structural systems of racism, classism, and sexism that thwart true progress in the battle against hunger. The New Breadline is an inspiring call to action to end what he persuasively argues is one of the greatest threats to our society, boldly envisioning a world where we can always feed ourselves and one another.
