Gender, Justice and Legal Feminism

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.&nbsp;"Stereotypes have been and remain a notion central to feminist/ gender inquiry. This edited volume brings forth original perspectives from a wide range of scholars from multiple and diverse angles. The editors, Condello and Wagner, distinguish between the frameworks of mythos, logos and nomos to show how stereotypes are entrenched in cultural narratives, normative systems and language. Authors in the volume explore how stereotypes influence policy, cultural norms and personal identity causing discrimination and exclusion. The volume aptly underscores the importance of recognizing how race, class, ethnicity, religion amongst other identities intersect with power and play out in areas like the media, education and law.&nbsp; The various chapters reflect on the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to make sense of the persistence of stereotypes. The focus falls for example on gender stereotypes in the city; in textbooks, in criminal law, in the Bildungsroman and in various religious settings.The volume will be an essential read for anyone concerned about the world as it is trying to make sense of the pervasiveness and endurance of gender injustice. Judith Butler, in her latest work invokes the idea of ‘phantasm’ to illustrate how conservatives and reactionaries from various places have created fears to justify censorship, discrimination and injustice. The various takes on stereotypes in the volume highlights the role they play in putting this ‘phantasm’ to work.The chapters included here not only expose gender stereotypes and their entanglement with suffering and injustice but it also challenges us to think about and work towards alternatives. It beckons us to put our imaginaries to work, in the words of the editors, to ‘reimagine the world not as it is, but as it could be’."Karin van Marle, Research Chair Gender, Transformation, Worldmaking, University of the Western Cape

Soviet Russia Fights Crime (1934) examines the workings of the Soviet penal system in the pre-war years of the Soviet Union. It is a valuable insight into prison life in Soviet Russia, in both prisons and prison colonies, with the author being allowed remarkably free access to certain institutions.

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 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.

Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century

Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology

Personhood, in liberal philosophical and legal traditions, has long been grounded in the idea of autonomy and the right to legal capacity. However, in this book, Julia Duffy questions these assumptions and shows how such beliefs exclude and undermine the rights of adults with cognitive disability. Instead, she reinterprets the right to legal capacity through the principle of the interdependence and indivisibility of human rights. In doing so, she compellingly argues that dignity and not autonomy ought to be the basis of personhood. Using illustrative case studies, Duffy demonstrates that the key human rights values of autonomy, dignity and equality can only be achieved by fulfilling a range of interdependent human rights. With this innovative book challenging common assumptions about human rights and personhood, Duffy leads the way in ensuring civil, economic, political, social, and cultural inclusion for adults with cognitive disabilities.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This book, a product of the Financial Integrity Hub (FIH), explores the societal costs of combating financial crime and the balance between security imperatives, individual rights, and the integrity of global financial systems. It examines the ethical dilemmas and practical challenges faced by policymakers, practitioners, and the public as they navigate the evolving landscape of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regimes.
While designed to safeguard societies and economies, measures from these regimes can erode privacy, stifle legitimate activity, and exacerbate inequalities. Through analysis and real case studies, this book scrutinises the ethical and legal dilemmas arising from expanded surveillance, showing how the pursuit of security can undermine civil liberties and invite abuse. It assesses the impact of regulatory frameworks on non-profit organisations, vulnerable populations, and businesses, drawing attention to the unintended consequences of well-intentioned policies. It also examines the expanding role of technology in surveillance, raising critical questions about the future of privacy in an increasingly interconnected world. The book highlights the intersection of financial crime and environmental exploitation, demonstrating the far-reaching effects of illicit activity.
Through a global lens, it evaluates regulatory approaches including unexplained wealth orders, risk-based assessments, and emerging tools like Central Bank Digital Currencies. It exposes gaps in current frameworks, questioning whether they adequately address evolving threats of terrorist financing and complex financial crimes. By engaging with these challenges, the book calls for a more nuanced approach to financial crime control, one that protects society without undermining its core values.
Essential reading for legal professionals, policymakers, academics, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and anyone concerned with the global fight against financial crime, this book provides critical insights into its ethical and legal dimensions. It encourages reflection on unintended consequences and advocates for a fair, responsible, and balanced approach to safeguarding financial integrity.

This edited book provides a comprehensive study of punitive practices in modern-day Lithuania, highlighting its significance as a democratic European state navigating the continuing consequences of its Soviet-era criminal justice system. Punitive attitudes and practices are explored through a thematic framework, examining their socio-political, cultural, and historical contexts. Part I traces the cultural, psychological, and historical origins of punishment, highlighting the influence of collective memory and transitional reforms on penal debates. Part II examines the uneven application of criminal justice, showing how it unfairly punishes marginalised and disadvantaged communities. Part III explores advancements in probation, imprisonment, crime prevention, and victim support, showing how reforms can become both symbolic and oppressive. The book offers various criminological viewpoints that contribute to policy discussions about reducing excessive punishment, exploring alternatives, and promoting meaningful justice reform. This vital resource supports the work of scholars in criminology, sociology, law, and related fields focused on social justice and democratic reform.
