Avery Matt: Murder in London

Murder in London

The Murder Mystery Puzzle Book: Solve 100 Killer Logic Puzzles to Crack the Case!

Sexual violence in conflict, often referred to as conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), refers to some form of sexual and/or reproductive violence perpetrated against women, men, girls and boys that is directly or indirectly related to the conflict. This includes rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, enforced sterilisation, forced marriage, and any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity. The perpetrators of CRSV vary between each case and include state and non-state armed groups, including terrorist organisations. This book examines some of the recent manifestations of sexual violence as atrocity crimes, and especially, prohibited acts to bring about genocide, the responses to these crimes, and issues that continue to be neglected, including in relation to the duty to prevent. The work structures the discussion around the prevalence of CRSV, its use as a tool of genocide, and other international crimes, and the failures of legal and institutional responses. By combining thematic chapters on international law and accountability with case studies, the study provides a balance between theoretical critique and empirical analysis. It further engages with the debates on what is needed to bring about change, looking at specific policy and law reforms. The work also examines the way forward, including recommendations to introduce an international convention specifically focused on CRSV, and a permanent mechanism on CRSV. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of International Criminal Law, International Humanitarian Law, Human Rights Law, Constitutional Law, Legal History, Security Studies and Genocide Studies.

Global Conflict-Related Sexual Violence

'Entertaining and vivid... This is a gripping account of an intriguing and little-known Cold War moment' OBSERVER'Reads like a thriller' THE SUNThe astonishing story of the ten million books that were smuggled across the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.For almost five decades after the Second World War, Europe was divided by the longest and most heavily guarded border on earth. The Iron Curtain, a near-impenetrable barrier of wire and wall, tank traps, minefields, watchtowers and men with dogs, stretched for 4,300 miles from the Arctic to the Black Sea. No physical combat would take place along this frontier: the risk of nuclear annihilation was too high for that. Instead, the conflict would be fought in the psychological sphere. It was a battle for hearts, minds and intellects.No one understood this more clearly than George Minden, the head of a covert intelligence operation known as the 'CIA books programme', which aimed to win the Cold War with literature.From its Manhattan headquarters, Minden's global CIA 'book club' would infiltrate millions of banned titles into the Eastern Bloc, written by a vast and eclectic list of authors, including Hannah Arendt and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell and Agatha Christie. Volumes were smuggled on trucks and aboard yachts, dropped from balloons, and hidden in the luggage of hundreds of thousands of individual travellers. Once inside Soviet bloc, each book would circulate secretly among dozens of like-minded readers, quietly turning them into dissidents. Latterly, underground print shops began to reproduce the books, too. By the late 1980s, illicit literature in Poland was so pervasive that the system of communist censorship broke down, and the Iron Curtain soon followed.Charlie English tells this true story of spycraft, smuggling and secret printing operations for the first time, highlighting the work of a handful of extraordinary people who risked their lives to stand up to the intellectual strait-jacket Stalin created. People like Miroslaw Chojecki, an underground Polish publisher who endured beatings, force-feeding and exile in service of this mission. And Minden, the CIA's mastermind, who didn't waver in his belief that truth, culture, and diversity of thought could help free the 'captive nations' of Eastern Europe. This is a story about the power of the printed word as a means of resistance and liberation. Books, it shows, can set you free.

What does prison work actually do - and what kind of prison does it produce? In Doing Prison Work in Australia and Norway, Anna Eriksson argues that prisons are not defined primarily by their architecture, regimes, or policies, but by the everyday practices of those who work within them. Drawing on extensive comparative research across Australia and Norway, the book shows how prison staff actively shape the meaning and experience of punishment through their interactions, decisions, and use of authority. At the centre of the analysis is a new conceptual distinction between instrumental security and relational security. While instrumental approaches emphasise control, distance, and compliance, relational approaches are grounded in communication, proximity, and professional judgement. Eriksson demonstrates that these are not simply individual styles, but are embedded in wider penal cultures, organisational structures, and the underlying aims of imprisonment. By rethinking prison work as the core mechanism through which punishment is enacted, the book offers a fresh perspective on longstanding debates about penal excess and Nordic exceptionalism. It shows how different systems produce fundamentally different forms of prison life - not only for prisoners, but for staff themselves. Bringing together rich empirical insight with clear conceptual innovation, Doing Prison Work speaks directly to both scholars and practitioners. For academics, it advances a new framework for understanding prison culture and penal power. For practitioners and policymakers, it offers concrete insights into how staff practices shape safety, legitimacy, and the possibility of change within prisons. Ultimately, this book makes a simple but powerful claim: to change the prison, we must understand - and rethink - the work that happens inside it.

A gripping behind-the-scenes story from inside one of the most influential news programs in American history.For almost sixty years, every Sunday night at seven o'clock sharp, America has stopped what it was doing to hear instantly recognizable the tick tock that introduces 60 Minutes. At its peak, this news show was the most powerful hour on television, drawing as many as fifty million viewers a week. Presidents watched. CEOs braced themselves. Ordinary citizens--wronged, ignored, or silenced--found a voice.In Mad as Hell, a producer from the program's golden years takes readers deep inside the broadcast that reshaped television journalism. Working alongside Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, Morley Safer, and executive producer Don Hewitt, Harry Moses tells how a scrappy news experiment morphed into a national institution, and how television at its best could hold the powerful to account.

Mad as Hell: How 60 Minutes Took on the Powerful and Made Television History

In 1976, the Supreme Court affirmed incarcerated people's right to healthcare under the Eighth Amendment. Wards of the State examines the everyday instantiation of incarcerated people's right to healthcare within a men's maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania. Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork, Nicholas Iacobelli observes how the prison's medical unit operates as a "ward of the state"--a space that reproduces the state's ideological commitment to punishment through its obligation to provide care. Incarcerated men are also cast as wards of the state, becoming its biological and financial property. These dynamics result in complex systems of dependence, refusal, and skepticism--and troubling ideas of what constitutes health and illness in prison. Despite this, the right to care also opens spaces for men to envision futures and make both personal and structural appeals to justice.
