The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley

True Crime Stories

This two-volume set provides insights not only into issues of criminology, but also criminal justice issues that are generally not at the forefront of Caribbean scholarship, for example, remand detention and the Caribbean Court of Justice. This volume focusses on crime, crime trends and criminal justice reform whereas volume II focusses on intersectionality, justice, and vulnerable populations. Using a diverse approach, and tackling topics including, food fraud, human trafficking, gender-based and domestic violence, climate change, and agro-terrorism, these books fill an existing lacuna in the context of specific issues plaguing Caribbean criminological and justice landscapes in the region.

Crime, Crime Trends and Criminal Justice Reform

Fuelling the Development of a Caribbean Criminology, Volume I

In this collection of short stories, Loretta Phillips offers a rare glimpse into life behind the walls of a correctional facility. Drawing from nearly three decades as a correctional officer, she recounts real events and day-to-day encounters with both officers and inmates. Each story captures the challenges, unpredictability, and humanity found within the jail setting, from routine interactions to unforgettable moments, including an escape that shook Loretta and as well as the institution. Honest, thought provoking, and at times surprising, these stories reveal the complexities of a world most people never see.

Termite Ho

Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists - they've all confided in her.

Some are harder to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his... well, you get the picture. Jake, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway collection. And who could forget Steve, who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer.

Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.

Translation, Interpreting and Social Justice in a Globalised World

Offers unique insights into the justice system, its power and the abuses that can happen to marginalised people when they intersect with the justice system. This book explores how minority language users experience access to justice and the right to a fair trial when they use their language in the criminal justice system. It investigates the lived experiences of Irish speakers and deaf Irish Sign Language users who have directly interacted with the criminal justice system. Treating identity as both internally constructed and externally imposed, it focuses on the issues raised when internally constructed identities are misunderstood, oversimplified and misused by the majority or the authority. The two case studies presented here investigate three layers of access to justice: procedural access, substantive access and symbolic access. This lens reveals the areas where, in spite of legal protections to safeguard fairness, minority language users still experience unequal treatment. The book provides a nuanced understanding of the experiences of minority language users and will be of interest to researchers in translation and interpreting, sociolinguistics and human rights law.

Der Kannibale von Rotenburg - Ein realer Kriminalfall zwischen Obsession und Abgrund

Armin Meiwes

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.

Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence

The Coroner's Silence

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official exposes how America's carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred makes a simple but rarely acknowledged case: America's prison system is failing not only the people it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which almost everyone returns. Rather than treating prisoners and correctional officers as opposing sides in a zero-sum struggle, the book shows how their lives are bound together by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At the heart of the book is an extraordinary exchange between two men who spent decades on opposite sides of the bars. Robert Barton has been incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons. Jack Donson is a retired Bureau of Prisons official who began as a correctional officer and rose to become a case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal how a system designed to punish and control ends up brutalizing prisoners while simultaneously eroding staff morale, health, and judgment, producing an adversarial environment that makes everyone less safe.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, No One Gets Out Unscarred examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration: routine lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, decaying infrastructure, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation. These realities are not presented as abstractions or policy talking points, but as lived experience, seen from inside a cell and from within the bureaucratic hierarchy tasked with enforcing the rules.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, the book asks a pragmatic question with urgent implications for public safety: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will eventually come home, what kind of prison system actually serves society? By centering shared trauma, accountability, and common-sense reform, No One Gets Out Unscarred reframes incarceration as a collective problem and opens a conversation long missing from the national debate.

Racism, Resistance and Social Change

Racism and the cultural politics of punishment reveals the forms of disavowal, denial and obfuscation that are vital in allowing punitive and discriminatory state practices to appear unremarkable, inevitable and just. Focusing on the state's startlingly severe response to the English 'riots' of 2011, the book explores the imaginations and narratives - about crime, criminals, the public and punishment - that served to normalise and legitimise the harsh and inequitable punishment of the 'rioters'. Drawing on unique insights from interviews with prosecutors, sentencers, defence lawyers and policy-makers at the heart of the response, alongside analysis of media and political debates, Peacock shows how forms of ignorance were mobilised to justify and normalise this response, from amnesia about police racism and Britain's long history of unrest, to distorted imaginations of public opinion about justice and widespread denial about the violence of the prison system. Taken together, these shared narratives worked to justify the state's punitive reaction to the riots and to foreclose debate about the need for meaningful political and economic change in the wake of the unrest. Looking to recent events in Britain and beyond, Racism and the cultural politics of punishment offers timely insight into the cultural processes underpinning the punitive systems that disproportionately harm marginalised and racially minoritised communities. In a context where political obfuscation about structural racism demands sustained critical attention, the book offers insight into how such ignorance is produced, managed and sustained and offers valuable analysis for those seeking to challenge and dismantle it.

Melland Schill Perspectives on International Law

Why are constitutionalist ideals so prominent in science fiction? Does Independence Day depict self-defence as a legal concept with absolute limits? Is international law lost in space? This innovative interdisciplinary volume represents the first exploration of the relationship between international law and cinema. From Star Wars to Werner Herzog, The Godfather to The West Wing, this book uncovers a diverse range of representations of international law and its norms in film and television. Examining the wider links between international law, cinema and ideology, the contributions not only examine visual representations of international law, but they offer an essential insight into the functions fulfilled by these cinematic representations. Providing an extraordinary introduction to a variety of perspectives on core international legal questions, Cinematic perspectives on international law extends a valuable methodology by which international lawyers can critique the depiction of international law in film.
