Schneider R: The 2027 Annotated Mental
Health Provisions of the Criminal Code,

The 2027 Annotated Mental Health Provisions of the Criminal Code, Part XX.1

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. 

Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. 

It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. 

This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

This single volume explains the civil recovery regime under POCA 2002 in the magistrates' court for professionals. POCA 2002, Pt 5 contains the relevant primary legislation and includes the provisions that deal with the recovery of cash, listed assets, and bank accounts. There is considerable overlap in the principles and procedures that UK law enforcement must follow; from initial searches to the seizure and detention/freeze of assets before submitting an eventual forfeiture application. Providing expert commentary on POCA 2002, Pt 5 and the principles and procedures that must be followed this title ensures that practitioners can provide practical guidance to individuals and corporates and includes all the relevant statutory provisions, rules, codes and forms. It answers questions such as: - Why would a client's bank account be frozen? - If HMRC successfully applies to freeze a client's bank account, how can I get the court order discharged? - If my client's cash is seized, how can I practically advise a client to get the funds returned? - If my client is subject to a criminal investigation and a civil investigation, how should I advise them? - If my client's bank accounts are frozen, how can everyday expenses, including paying legal fees, be met? This is a must have title for Financial crime legal professionals, Accountants, Compliance officers, Fraud analysts, Cyber security experts, and Anti-bribery and corruption specialists.

Sexual Offences in Ireland: Practice and Procedure

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

First-Time Landlord

This book explores the fascinating backstories and unexpected sequels of bigamous marriages from the 17th century to the present day. A woman remarries after hearing that her husband has drowned, only for him to turn up alive and well. Is she now a criminal? A deserted husband, unable to afford a divorce, finds happiness in a new union. How many did the same? A conman advertises for a wife and then disappears with her lifesavings; he has already done the same to many other women. How was he brought to justice? These are just a few of the hundreds of bigamous remarriages put under the microscope in Double Lives. As a companion volume to Double Trouble: Bigamy and the Law in England and Wales, 1604-2024, this book goes behind the law reports to reconstruct the stories of those involved. Drawing on archival sources, pamphlets, newspapers, census data, parish registers, divorce petitions and family histories, it shows the different forms that bigamy might take - accidental, consensual, deceptive or exploitative - and how bigamists' stories in turn helped to shape the law. Double Lives shows how bigamy should not be dismissed as a comical or victimless crime. Every case had its own complex mix of desire and deception, and, all too often, heartbreak for someone.

Double Lives

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.

The Life and Days of Eric Francis (Dispatches #3)

Covering Crime in the Safest State in the Nation

Science fiction has long been fascinated with the potential for sentient, human-like artificial persons. Even before reality meets fantasy, individuals, governments and businesses already entrust AI to make automated decisions with potential for real-life impact. What are the implications for AI legal personhood? This work examines how different legal entities differ in rights and duties and considers historical examples that show how legal personhood status can change over time under economic, social and pragmatic pressures. By abandoning the traditional binary, characteristics-based concept of the legal person for a historical lens, we are left with a more nuanced concept of the legal person against which sentience matters far less than what we might otherwise assume.

Warum Homo bestialis und Homo culturalis sich die Hand reichen müssenGibt es eine universelle menschliche Natur? Wie frei und vernunftbasiert ist unser Handeln wirklich? Bestsellerautorin und Biologin Meike Stoverock widmet sich der hochaktuellen Frage nach den Grenzen des freien Willens. In 'Human Nature' erkundet sie die Möglichkeiten, die in einem tieferen Verständnis menschlichen Verhaltens liegen - und zeigt, wie wir die Erkenntnisse für notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel nutzen können.Eigentlich leben wir doch in einem Zeitalter der Vernunft: Wir verfügen über mehr Wissen als je zuvor und unsere Zukunftsmodelle werden immer genauer. Und doch scheinen wir als Gesellschaft auf der Stelle zu treten - der Klimawandel schreitet weiter voran, die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich wächst, der Populismus ist weltweit auf dem Vormarsch und zur Gendergerechtigkeit ist es auch noch ein weiter Weg. Gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt lässt sich nicht allein durch gute Argumente und ausgeklügelte Studien, also auf rationaler Ebene, forcieren. In "Human Nature" zeigt Meike Stoverock auf beeindruckend klare Weise, dass biologische Einflüsse im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs viel stärker in den Fokus rücken müssen. Denn es gilt: Freie Entscheidungen und vernünftiges Handeln gibt es nur im Rahmen physischer Grenzen und psychologischer Selbsterkenntnis. Meike Stoverock löst den vermeintlichen Widerspruch zwischen Gefühl und Verstand auf und eröffnet so völlig neue Zukunftsperspektiven.
