Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

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.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

**A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 IN STYLIST, VOGUE, LIT HUB, NEW YORK TIMES PODCAST, DEBUTIFUL; SHEREADS; BUSTLE** 'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 'An unhinged satire with 'cult hit' written all over it. Perfect for tearing through on holiday' Daily Mail I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . . A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life. Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck. But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be. In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next? Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO. 'A devious and outrageously entertaining satire that skewers America's surreal political landscape' New York Times 'The pacing is rip-roaring and it is impossible to tell where the narrative will go next in this thrilling ride' The Skinny 'Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X 'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026' Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs 'Fun, layered, and loaded with wit. Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface 'Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body 'Dark, topical and bloody hilarious' Matilde Pratesi, author of Pig 'Prescient and entertainingly unnerving. A riotous, compulsive read' Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit 'Profoundly bleak and entirely hilarious. I loved it' Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin

After the End

* FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET * 'One of our finest literary horror writers' - SUNDAY TIMES 'A dark, grimly compelling and very twisty tale' - GUARDIAN 'A beguiling, haunting modern fairy tale' - DAILY EXPRESS The Nowhere Children are expecting you... High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily. Its last owner was its most famous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House as a refuge to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home. Years later, Nowhere valley has become a sanctuary for runaway children, a place where adults cannot enter. Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But the Nowhere Children are fierce in defending their valley and their secrets. For something dark lives in the ruins of Nowhere House, something that asks a terrible price for sanctuary... 'Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding' - OLIVIE BLAKE 'So sharp and beautiful it draws blood and leaves scars' - GRADY HENDRIX 'Gorgeous, dangerous, mythic and horrific. A remarkable storyteller' - A.J. FINN 'Broke my heart a dozen times and held me spellbound throughout' - SARAH HILARY 'A creepy, clever and heartrending story, compelling and beautifully crafted' - EMMA HEALEY 'Atmospheric and achingly tender suspense from one of our most original writers' - ERIN KELLY

Nowhere Burning

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.
