Edwards K: Jail Bird

Jail Bird

Quiet Courage is a powerful and deeply human exploration of life behind the badge. Through real experiences and reflective storytelling, Steve Conner reveals the unseen sacrifices, emotional battles, and unwavering dedication of law enforcement officers.
This book goes beyond headlines and statistics, offering readers a rare glimpse into the daily realities faced by those who stand between order and chaos. From moments of intense danger to quiet acts of compassion, each story highlights the resilience and moral strength required to serve and protect.
More than just a collection of experiences, Quiet Courage challenges readers to reconsider what true bravery looks like in modern society. It honors the men and women who risk their lives, often without recognition, and sheds light on the personal cost of duty.
Whether you are connected to law enforcement or simply seeking a deeper understanding of public safety, this book delivers an honest, compelling, and thought-provoking perspective on courage in its purest form.

Quiet Courage

Winner of the Balcones Prize in NonfictionLonglisted for the National Book Critics Circle award for NonfictionThe New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-nominated author of The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois and The Age of Phillis makes her nonfiction debut with this personal and thought-provoking work that explores the journeys and possibilities of Black women throughout American history and in contemporary times.Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is at a crossroads.Traditional African/Black American cultures present the crossroads as a place of simultaneous difficulty and possibility. In contemporary times, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the phrase “intersectionality” to explain the unique position of Black women in America. In many ways, they are at a third crossroads: attempting to fit into notions of femininity and respectability primarily assigned to White women, while inventing improvisational strategies to combat oppression.In Misbehaving at the Crossroads, Jeffers explores the emotional and historical tensions in Black women’s public lives and her own private life. She charts voyages of Black girlhood to womanhood and the currents buffeting these journeys, including the difficulties of racially gendered oppression, the challenges of documenting Black women’s ancestry; the adultification of Black girls; the irony of Black female respectability politics; the origins of Womanism/Black feminism; and resistance to White supremacy and patriarchy. As Jeffers shows with empathy and wisdom, naming difficult historical truths represents both Blues and transcendence, a crossroads that speaks.Necessary and sharply observed, provocative and humane, and full of the insight and brilliance that has characterized her poetry and fiction, Misbehaving at the Crossroads illustrates the life of one extraordinary Black woman—and her extraordinary foremothers.

Essays & Writings

Misbehaving at the Crossroads

'A book of such hugely ambitious scope'&nbsp;Financial Times'Gingeras's riveting book delves into the murky origins, effects and legacies of the most terrifying figures in the history of crime'&nbsp;The i'Gingeras writes well and joins the historical dots'&nbsp;TelegraphFew forces have shaped our world as powerfully - or as secretly - as mafias.Groups such as La Cosa Nostra, the Medellín Cartel, New York's Five Families, the Japanese yakuza and Russian vory are notorious, endlessly covered in news stories and popular media. Yet when official histories are written, their role in shaping nations, economies and societies is rarely acknowledged.In Mafia: A Global History, Ryan Gingeras draws on more than a decade of research to uncover this suppressed underworld history. Crossing centuries and continents, he introduces legendary figures - Al Capone, Pablo Escobar, Du Yuesheng - and explores the conditions, cultures and locales that gave birth to modern mafias: Sicily, Marseille, New York, Colombia, Tokyo. As he reconstructs the rise of a gang or the life of a gangster, he also charts the expanding power of states and the increasingly international reach of trade, crime and law enforcement. After all, governments define what is a crime and who is a criminal, and their agents create the strategies used to limit or defend against their threat.&nbsp;Beginning with bandits and ending with today's 'mafia states' - and&nbsp;the alarming blurring of lines between gangsters, corporations and political leaders - this sweeping narrative traces the evolution of organised crime in response to industrialisation, globalisation and technological change. By charting the origins, consolidation and transformation of mafias,&nbsp;Gingeras reveals not only where contemporary gangsters come from, but how they became central to our imagination and why they are the uncredited architects of the modern world.

Beacon Classics

The fundamental litmus test for American democracy-its economy, government, criminal justice system, education, mass media, and culture-remains: how broad and intense are the arbitrary powers used and deployed against black people. In this sense, the problem of the twenty-first century remains the problem of the color line. --from the new Preface First published in 1993 on the one-year anniversary of the L.A. riots, Race Matters was a national best-seller, and it has since become a groundbreaking classic on race in America. Race Matters contains West's most powerful essays on the issues relevant to black Americans today: despair, black conservatism, black-Jewish relations, myths about black sexuality, the crisis in leadership in the black community, and the legacy of Malcolm X. And the insights that he brings to these complicated problems remain fresh, exciting, creative, and compassionate. Now more than ever, Race Matters is a book for all Americans, as it helps us to build a genuine multiracial democracy in the new millennium.

Recht und Digitalisierung | Digitization and the Law

Die Ermittlungsbehörden stehen vor einem strukturellen Dilemma: explodierende Datenmengen, begrenzte Ressourcen und ein Strafprozessrecht, das auf diese Realität noch nicht ausreichend vorbereitet ist. Das Werk analysiert die Reichweite des strafprozessualen Legalitätsprinzips in diesem Kontext. Der Autor entwickelt normative Kriterien für die Priorisierung von Ermittlungsverfahren, die Zulässigkeit der Datenreduktion und die Grenzen der Ermittlungspflicht. Auf dieser Grundlage werden Reformvorschläge erarbeitet - darunter ein Entwurf für IT-Forensik-Standards in der StPO. Zum Abschluss werden die Chancen und rechtlichen Risiken des KI-Einsatzes im Ermittlungsverfahren analysiert.

Klagen gegen Diskriminierung scheitern regelmäßig aufgrund fehlender Beweise – obwohl mit § 22 AGG eine starke Beweiserleichterung im Antidiskriminierungsrecht vorhanden ist. Daher untersucht Ambrosi die gerichtliche Praxis zu § 22 AGG mithilfe von Fallstudien und nimmt eine umfassende rechtsdogmatische Analyse vor, die zu dem Ergebnis kommt: Die Beweiserleichterung dient dem schonenden Ausgleich von Informationsasymmetrien. Die Erkenntnisse der Untersuchung übersetzt Ambrosi in praxistaugliche Leitlinien und Fragenkataloge für die Anwendung von § 22 AGG.

Das Werk vereint durch innovative methodische Ansätze Prozessrecht und materielles Recht und liefert wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die Ahndung von Geschlechtsdiskriminierung im Erwerbsleben.

Praxis und Prinzip der diskriminierungsrechtlichen Beweiserleichterung

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road---and the results of that investigation will astound you.

The Explosive Search for Truth Behind the Idaho Murders

Broken Plea

Good people wear the badge. But human nature still comes with it.
Society gives extraordinary authority to ordinary human beings. Fall of Duty: How Good Cops Go Bad examines what happens when the normal forces of human nature-bias, pride, conformity, rationalization, loyalty, fear, anger, and self-deception-collide with the extraordinary responsibilities of policing.
Drawing from ancient wisdom, history, modern psychology, real-world cases, and the realities of law enforcement, Adam Tippetts explores a difficult truth: unethical behavior is not limited to unethical people. Good officers with honorable intentions can drift, justify, conform, and make decisions they once believed they never would.
Fall of Duty moves beyond traditional ethics training and simple rules about right and wrong. It asks officers to understand the person behind the badge, recognize the forces that can compromise integrity, and develop the self-awareness necessary to resist them.
Ancient wisdom. Modern psychology. Deeper ethics.

Fall Of Duty

Contemporary World Issues

On a per capita basis, the United States incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. This book explains the social, economic, and political forces that account for this controversial distinction through features that include context-setting introductory chapters, illuminating primary documents, informative biographical and organizational profiles, a detailed timeline of events and trends related to incarceration in the USA, and personal essays contributed by administrators, researchers, educators, and people with firsthand experience of life behind bars.

Mass Incarceration in America

For readers of His Name Is George Floyd and Under the Skin A landmark investigation into forensic medicine that exposes the systematic concealment of state-sanctioned violence through death investigations FINALIST FOR THE PROSE AWARD IN LEGAL STUDIES AND CRIMINOLOGY (2026) Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. The Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence.

Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence

The Coroner's Silence

As one of the world's leading scientists examining how our DNA shapes differences in temperament, temptation and behaviour, Harden has seen first-hand how we - in public and in our most private relationships - continue to struggle with the ancient tensions between nature and nurture, freedom and constraint, the desire to punish and the longing to forgive. In Original Sin, she weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other - or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete? Navigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial behaviour and violence, Harden confronts the discomforting ways science unsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so she asks us not to absolve, but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A revelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behaviour meets inherited biology, Original Sin challenges us to imagine a more humane vision of accountability - for ourselves and for one another.

ORIGINAL SIN opens with Kathryn Paige Harden taking LSD with her boyfriend in the West Texas desert, precipitating an experience in which he is unable to escape from the sense that he alone is responsible for an apocalyptic event, despite the fact that the event was impossible to avoid. Using this idea - of being born into sin, the eternal human paradox of free will versus destiny, sharpened to a razor edge by contemporary genetics - Harden explores some of the most important questions in philosophy: How are we to take responsibility for the individuals we become in light of what we know about behavioural genetics? We are not responsible for our genomes, but where does that leave us in respect of justice and punishment? If we possess a predisposition toward violence, does that make such behaviour any less egregious? If we can't help being attracted to certain people, in what sense can we be said to choose a mate or partner? In light of what we know about biology, how should we treat one another, and how can we use policies and social intervention to create a society in which all of us flourish? Beautifully written, deeply literate, autobiographically daring and informed by her own research on the cutting edge of behavioural genetics, this is a profoundly original work of literary non-fiction that promises to take us on a wild intellectual journey - and stay with us long after we turn the final page.

Run Wild: Sa Ye (Novel)

In this novel series originally released in Chinese—and which inspired a number of multimedia adaptations—two disaffected young men stuck in a run-down city discover that everything changes once they find each other. Unwanted by his adoptive parents, Jiang Cheng leaves home to live in a cold, gray city with his deadbeat dad whose only talent is feeding a gambling addiction. Alone save for his suitcase, the rebellious teenage boy arrives at the train station ready to face his miserable new life. But the moment he steps off the platform, Jiang Cheng meets the peculiar young girl Gu Miao, along with her big brother Gu Fei—a boy his age with a musical staff shaved into his hair. Rumor has it that Gu Fei is bad news with dark secrets of his own, but Jiang Cheng still finds himself pulled toward the withdrawn delinquent thanks to Gu Miao and, perhaps, fate. The unlikely friendship that blossoms between them shows Jiang Cheng the hidden depths of Gu Fei…and the hidden depths of his own feelings. Features exclusive new art!

A SHOT IN THE DARK Basketball, homework, goofing off, making out… His budding relationship with Gu Fei is a bright spot for Jiang Cheng as he begins to settle into life away from the big city where he grew up. But it's not all high school sports tournaments and kissing in the back of the movie theater. Gu Fei is determined to keep Jiang Cheng away from the town's dangerous underbelly, but Monkey, the leader of a local street gang, is holding a grudge…and the only way for Gu Fei to put it to rest is to face off against Monkey in a deadly contest that could leave him injured or worse. Meanwhile, when his father falls ill, Jiang Cheng is forced to make a decision. Is his sense of duty toward the violent man who gave him away as a child worth compromising his newfound freedom?
