United States Reports, Supreme Court: Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States; Volume 106

Anthropology, Law, and Political Morals

Some Versions of Legalism

Does parole have a future? If it does, can we begin to imagine a different path? Is progressive penal reform possible, or has the time come to consider more radical alternatives in a context where there is little, if any, consensus on the underlying aims and techniques of contemporary prison release? What does this all mean for the prisoners, families, victims and publics upon whose confidence the parole system ultimately depends? This book brings together a world-leading panel of 27 experts who draw upon insights from law, sociology, criminology and political science to explore these pressing questions. At a time when many parole systems are experiencing considerable strain, the aims of this collection are twofold: first, to encourage systematic and critical reflection on the rationalities, institutions and practices of parole. Second, to think big, and pose ambitious 'what if' questions about the possible futures of parole and prison release. Offering novel insights from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, this collection builds the case for, and then showcases, a 'way of doing' parole research that is global in outlook, interdisciplinary in approach and unapologetically normative in character.

Rationalities, Institutions and Practices

Parole Futures

This book explores human vulnerability through the lens of natural law theory. Beginning with a detailed examination of natural law ethics, centred upon the virtues (Part One), it sets out the relationship between natural law and human vulnerability. To be human is to be vulnerable; but vulnerability must itself be understood by reference to the human goods that are the central concern of natural law ethics. Such goods lie at the heart of what it means to lead a flourishing life, but they are in no way certain: goods such as health, education, the family can all be perverted or taken away by human agency or the vicissitudes of life. Part Two poses the problem of how human beings and government can build resilience in the face of these vulnerabilities. Its main contention is that the central aims of vulnerability theory, including that of state responsiveness, are pre-figured in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. These teachings provide a compelling basis for the demand that the state be more responsive to social scourges such as poverty, crime, debt and dependency. Vulnerability theorists will benefit from a new perspective on the problems that are central to their analysis; natural law theorists will profit by an enrichment and extension of their central concerns.

With over five billion internet users globally, it is crucial to understand social media activism and legal change for women and girls. This insightful book examines the impact of international Twitter (now X) campaigns on domestic laws affecting women and girls. Exploring the complexities of legal change for women and girls across seven countries from Latin America to Middle East and Africa, the book offers empirical insights into the effectiveness of hashtag advocacy and sheds light on the role of social media in shaping different outcomes. This is a key resource for understanding the dynamics driving social media activism and its potential impact on the rights of women and girls worldwide.

Are Social Media Campaigns Really Making Laws Better for Women and Girls?

Hashtag Activism and Women's Rights

The U.S. Constitution is silent about a right to privacy, yet the Supreme Court determined in the 1965 reproductive rights case Griswold v. Connecticut, that such a right is inferred from the Bill of Rights. The reasoning in the landmark case hinged on an unexpected word – penumbra. The Court concluded, in other words, that the unmentioned right to privacy resides in the shadows of the amendments. But this was not the first time penumbral imagery was used in legal writings, and its broader cultural usage dates back much further. Jared Schroeder's The Penumbra Problem provides a much-needed – and quite colorful – social and cultural history of the term. The penumbra concept, it turns out, wasn't an accidental choice but instead a well-selected term with centuries of transnational history. Schroeder tells its story through two intertwining narratives: first, how the word penumbra transcended its oblique scientific origins to become a distinct cultural concept; and, second, the parallel story of its evolving use in legal thought. The book tracks back and forth in time, creating an unexpected lineage of people and works who became unwitting champions of the penumbra concept, including mathematician Johannes Kepler, feminist activist Estelle Griswold, British thinker Robert Hooke, and lexicographer Noah Webster. Pairing these stories with the writings of great legal thinkers such as Willam Douglas and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schroeder is able to construct a kind of etymological love letter to this obscure concept. Not everyone has supported the privacy precedent, though, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is in danger today. Schroeder's clever, utterly unique history is, at its core, a call to redouble efforts to save the right to privacy. He argues that we must understand its ponderous, indeed uncertain, origins to fully appreciate the precarity in which it exists today, and only then can we adequately fight for it.

The Smart Woman's Guide to Building and Protecting Wealth

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

Why is legal prose so hard to read? One reason is obvious: Legal writers rarely think about their audience. When legal writers account for the preferences and expectations of their readers, legal writing can be sublime. Lucid. Easy to navigate and simple to understand. This species of legal writing leaps from the page to grab its readers by the collar, holding their interest and attention to the very last word. It is comfortably understood, employs concrete words and concrete grammar, shows - not tells - with concrete facts and concrete arguments. And this motivates the reader forward. Zen and the Art of Persuasive Writing tackles abstract questions in fresh and relatable ways, imbuing the dharma of mindfulness and cognitive science into the conversation on persuasive and legal writing. It dissects persuasive writing into 9 mantras: <ul><li>Be aware of the audience. Persuasive writers understand that readers and writers are separated by time and distance, so they channel the readers to prognosticate and answer questions. </li><li>Be less categorical. Persuasive writers know that few rules are absolute. </li><li>Be clear and concrete. Persuasive prose conveys hard facts and ideas in plain and simple words. </li><li>Be concise. A persuasive writer severs the meaningful from the meaningless. He is focused and assured. </li><li>Be cohesive and coherent. Persuasive prose is easy on the eyes and simple to navigate. </li><li>Be compelling. A persuasive writer holds the attention and interest of his readers for long enough to move their hearts and minds. </li><li>Be credible. A persuasive writer earns his reputation with colleagues and the courts, knowing a fine reputation is not purchased or invoked. </li><li>Be a reader and writer. A persuasive writer reads and reverse-engineers the language, style and approach of stuff he likes. </li><li>Be meticulous and rewrite. A persuasive writer toils to ensure the audience will understand the point. He knows that persuasive prose is the end product of many drafts and myriad decisions.</li></ul>
