Conclusion:&nbsp;Religion and the Deification of the National Security State

What if we abolished police, courts, and prisons? Where would we turn for justice? Do we need laws? Punishment? These questions are not just the preoccupation of an abolitionist pipedream. Their answers already exist, if only we know where to look.
Professor Sitrin introduces readers to communities worldwide that resolve harms and conflicts without looking to the state or the judiciary. The book focuses on alternative forms of justice, peace-keeping, and adjudication in selected locations, with particular attention to indigenous and women-led movements from across Mexico, Argentina, Rojava, and the USA. Marina Sitrin traces how each came to be and examines the theoretical and political underpinnings of the process.
We Make Our Own Justice&nbsp;allows the reader to reflect on how these alternative forms of justice and adjudication have been planted and nurtured over time-often over decades-and to consider the possibilities for other communities and regions to produce something similar. We Make Our Own Justice offers an invaluable resource, fostering optimism and open-mindedness as we seek to transform our neighborhoods, groups, and communities into abolitionist spaces, both in theory and in practice.

Global Alternatives to Policing and Prisons

We Make Our Own Justice

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

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 Search for a Unified Theory of Punishment

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official reveals how America’s carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred argues that the prison system fails not only those it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which most will return. Rather than opposing prisoners and correctional officers, it shows how their lives are shaped by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At its center is an extraordinary exchange between two men on opposite sides of the bars: Robert Barton, incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons, and Jack Donson, a retired Bureau of Prisons official who rose from correctional officer to case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal a system that brutalizes prisoners while eroding staff morale, health, and judgment.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, the book examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration—lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation—through lived experience on both sides.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, it asks a pragmatic question: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will return home, what kind of prison system actually serves society?

The Case Against America’s Prison System, From Both Sides of the Wall

No One Gets Out Unscarred

Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

Religion, Migration, and the Humanitarian Babel

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks

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

Das moderne Recht wirft viele grundsätzliche Fragen auf: Ist Recht mit Gerechtigkeit notwendig verbunden? Was ist überhaupt Recht und was Gerechtigkeit? Wie verhalten sich Recht und Moral zueinander? Warum und unter welchen Bedingungen ist Recht verbindlich?
Diesen und zahlreichen anderen Fragen zu Recht, Ethik und ihrer Bedeutung für Staat und Gesellschaft geht Mahlmann in seinem Lehrbuch anhand von vielen Beispielen nach - von der Folter über die neuen Herausforderungen Künstlicher Intelligenz für das Recht bis hin zu Perspektiven einer internationalen Friedensordnung in einer Epoche neuer Kriege. Dabei schlägt er einen Bogen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart und entwickelt vor diesem historischen Hintergrund Antworten auf zentrale systematische Fragen der Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtstheorie.

Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtstheorie

Verso's Southern Questions

In 1960, as the Algerian War for Independence entered its sixth year, 22-year-old Djamila Boupacha was arrested for allegedly planting a bomb in a university cafeteria. While in custody, she was tortured and raped by French soldiers. Her case would have been buried like countless others had it not been for the efforts of her lawyer, Gisèle Halimi, and the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir to transform it into an international cause célèbre. Djamila Boupacha is the culmination of this campaign to expose the systemic violence of colonial rule. "To protest in the name of morality against ‘excesses’ or ‘abuses,’" Beauvoir writes, "is an error which hints at active complicity. There are no ‘abuses’ or ‘excesses’ here, simply an all-pervasive system." More than a historical document, the book is a profound exploration of morality, complicity and resistance. A classic text of anticolonialism, this is a story that demands to be read—and remembered.

Djamila Boupacha

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

Muslim Interest Banking Before Islamic Finance

The Borrower’s Refuge

Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics

This volume presents a carefully selected collection of peer-reviewed chapters from the Proceedings of the 16th Global Islamic Marketing Conference (GIMAC16). The chapters reflect the latest research trends and conceptual developments in Islamic business, marketing, and management. They explore the intersection of faith, ethics, and commerce through empirical and theoretical studies conducted across diverse Muslim-majority and minority contexts. The book offers a rich and multidisciplinary overview of how Islamic principles continue to influence contemporary business thought and practice. Contributions address a broad range of themes, including Muslim consumer behaviour, services marketing, and the ethical and operational dimensions of Halal business practices. Other chapters examine emerging topics such as social media marketing and influencer culture, e-commerce and digital transformation, consumer boycotts and socio-political activism, religiosity and consumer decision-making, and the integration of artificial intelligence and sustainability within Sharia-compliant frameworks. Comparative studies of Islamic and conventional business models, as well as regional case analyses from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, provide valuable cross-cultural insights. Beyond their empirical contributions, these chapters collectively highlight the growing significance of Islamic values in global business discourse, emphasizing integrity, social justice, and the public good (Mäläah). Together, they demonstrate how Islamic marketing evolves as both a field of scholarly inquiry and a practical guide for ethical business conduct in dynamic global markets. This book is an essential reference for scholars, postgraduate students, and researchers interested in Islamic marketing, Islamic economics, and business ethics. It is equally relevant for consultants, policy makers, and corporate strategists seeking to deepen their understanding of Muslim markets and to design marketing and management strategies that align with faith-based consumer expectations and values.

Crime Prevention

What if the secret to conquering modern business challenges was already solved... over two thousand years ago? Whether you are scaling a startup, navigating office politics, or leading a company through rapid transformation, modern business can feel like an endless battle. But history's greatest leaders - from Alexander the Great and Scipio Africanus, to Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Augustus and more - were wrestling with these exact same strategic dilemmas. In Strategize Like Caesar, business executive and compliance expert Nick Henderson-Mayo seamlessly bridges classical antiquity with modern industry. Structured across four key groupings of organisation and strategy - The Disruptors, The Rivals, The Rulers, and The Survivors - this book pairs epic classical history with sharp corporate case studies and actionable frameworks. Step out of the boardroom, and onto the battlefield, discovering how to:<ul><li>Identify your Centers of Gravity: Apply Alexander the Great's tactics to pinpoint critical pressure points in your competition.</li><li>Avoid 'Hannibal's Paradox': Stop confusing short-term tactical wins with long-term strategic success.</li><li>Master office politics: Leverage transactional alliances and 'Strategic Distance' to build leverage and protect your team.</li><li>Pace transformational change: Use Augustus's principle of festina lente (make haste slowly) to execute seamless organizational pivots.</li></ul>Drawing from a decade spent advising Fortune 500 risk and legal teams, Henderson-Mayo delivers an indispensable, battle-tested playbook for modern decision-makers. Because the leaders who thrive in the future are those who learn from the past.
