Tiwari I: Smarter Borders

Smarter Borders

Integrated Sensors and Artificial Intelligence to Combat Illegal Drug Trafficking Across Borders

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Today's Crime and Punishment Issues

This book examines earthquake risk, disaster governance, and urban resilience through the case of Istanbul, a megacity facing significant seismic threats. This book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of public policy, disaster management, governance, migration, social vulnerability, and technological innovation, providing practical insights for earthquake preparedness and risk reduction in large urban centers.Organized into four thematic parts, the volume explores the role of public institutions, state responsibilities, multi-actor governance, gender-sensitive disaster policies, and the continuity of public services. It further examines local government initiatives, civil society engagement, public–civil partnerships, migration and displacement scenarios, vulnerable populations, and disaster response planning. The final section highlights innovation, digital technologies, urban mobility forecasting, and startup-driven solutions for earthquake prediction and risk management.

Theory, Methods and Evaluation

Crime Prevention

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

edition suhrkamp

Derzeit wird oft eine angeblich neue »Identitätspolitik« einer traditionellen Klassenpolitik gegenübergestellt: Wo Letztere sich mit materiellen Interesse und dem Konflikt zwischen Oben und Unten befasse, gehe es Ersterer um kulturelle Fragen und horizontale Unterscheidungen zwischen einem Wir und behaupteten anderen. Migration, Gender, Ungleichheit, Ökologie: Die Vielzahl politischer Konflikte kann verwirrend sein. Mithilfe der Unterscheidung von Exklusion und Inklusion sortiert Colin Crouch sie neu. Wo rechte Kräfte Haltungen des »Nur wir« schüren, setzen universalistische Linke auf Inklusion: »Wir alle«, »Sie auch«. Indem Crouch den angeblichen Widerspruch zwischen materiellen und kulturellen Fragen dekonstruiert, zeigt er auf, wie wir den Aufstieg der rechten Hasspolitik stoppen können.

Exklusion und neue Hasspolitik

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.

Punishment Theory Meets Punishment Practice

This book examines whether the two dominant paradigms of punishment theory - retributivism and consequentialism - can be reconciled within a single coherent rationale. It addresses a central problem in criminal law theory and moral philosophy: how punishment can be justified in a way that is both principled and responsive to social consequences. Through a comparative and analytical approach, the book brings together major attempts to bridge the divide between deontological and consequentialist accounts of punishment. It moves from Kant and Bentham to Hegel's project of unification, and then to contemporary theorists including Rawls, Roxin, Brooks, Pawlik, Jakobs, Duff, Tadros, and Zaibert. In doing so, it analyses hybrid, limited, and supra-conceptual approaches across Anglo-American and Continental traditions. The book shows that the classical opposition between retribution and prevention no longer captures the complexity of contemporary punishment theory. Instead, it argues that many competing accounts converge on the idea of punishment as a mechanism of social ordering, while also showing that order cannot be understood merely as something to be maintained or restored. It proposes that any genuinely unifying theory must reconceptualise order as dynamic, contextual, and permeable, while also acknowledging the limits of theoretical unification. The book provides a clear framework for a fragmented debate and offers new perspectives on punishment, legitimacy, and ethics that will be of interest to anyone working in, or with an interest in, criminal law, jurisprudence, penal theory, criminology, and moral and political philosophy.

The Untold Story of Terror, Diplomacy, and Murder in Khartoum

Blood in the Desert

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

The CIA, Lockerbie and the Hunt for the Truth

The Man Who Fell From The Sky

Die Geschichte des Mannes, der für die Freiheit, Würde und Zukunft Palästinas kämpft
 
 Seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten sitzt Marwan Barghouti in einem israelischen Gefängnis, die meiste Zeit davon komplett isoliert. Und dennoch ist er nach wie vor der populärste palästinensische Politiker. Als langjähriger Verfechter eines auf Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit basierenden Friedens ist er zu einem dauerhaften Symbol für Einheit und Hoffnung geworden – selbst hinter Gittern.
 
 »Unbroken« zeichnet eindrücklich das Leben von Marwan Barghouti nach und erzählt seine Geschichte in seinen eigenen Worten.
 
 Das Buch enthält private Briefe aus dem Gefängnis an seine Familie, persönliche Aufzeichnungen, Korrespondenz mit internationalen Persönlichkeiten, Interviews, öffentliche Erklärungen und persönliche Fotos.
 
 »Wenn der Preis für die Freiheit meines Volkes meine eigene Freiheit ist – dann bin ich bereit, diesen Preis zu zahlen.« 
 
 Marwan Barghouti

Das Streben nach Freiheit für Palästina

Unbroken

This book offers a pioneering and deeply insightful examination of one of the most challenging dilemmas in contemporary counterterrorism and international law: how to legally and morally assess the responsibility of female suicide bombers affiliated with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. It exposes a critical legal blind spot where female bombers are caught in a 'grey zone' - neither fully prosecuted nor released - due to conflicting norms around gender, victimhood and terrorism. Drawing on extensive research including interviews, case studies of failed suicide bombers, and legal analysis of terrorism cases, it develops a novel culpability framework that moves beyond simplistic notions of guilt or innocence. By exploring the complex spectrum of moral and legal responsibility, this framework offers a much-needed tool for policymakers, judges, practitioners, academics and students dealing with terrorism, war crimes and transitional justice. It challenges prevailing gender stereotypes that often either criminalise women excessively or excuse them arbitrarily and instead provides a nuanced approach that recognises female bombers as individuals whose actions range from coerced victimhood to accountable perpetrators. More than a legal study, this book humanises the lived realities of women involved in violent extremism and highlights the urgent need for legal systems worldwide to adapt. It is essential reading for scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in terrorism, gender, human rights and international justice.
