In 30 years on the front line of British policing, there is very little that Iain Donnelly didn’t do: from being a uniformed constable on the beat in London to running counter-terrorism and surveillance operations, combatting child sexual exploitation and overseeing the investigation of the most serious crimes. During that time, he saw the job change irrevocably, to the point where the public no longer knows what to expect from the police and the police service no longer knows what to expect of itself.

Biosocial criminology—and biosocial criminologists—focuses on both the environmental and biological factors that contribute to antisocial behavior. Importantly, these two domains are not separate parts of an equation but pieces of the same puzzle that fit together for a complete picture of the causes of crime/antisocial behavior.

Violence impacts everyone. Maybe it doesn’t impinge on you directly. Maybe you and your loved ones feel safe most of the time. But the sad reality is, we know that violence is happening all the time, somewhere in our country, our cities, our towns, and our neighborhoods. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes it makes the news; usually it doesn’t.

Lige før daggry, nær bakkerne ved den skotske grænse, bliver en ung kvinde slået ihjel på brutal vis. Samtidigt styrter en luftballon ned. Der er kun én overlevende. Hun har set morderens ansigt – og han har set hendes. Nu vil han ikke helme, før han har udryddet det eneste vidne til sin forbrydelse. Alene, bange, og ude af stand til at stole på nogen, flygter hun. Men den største fare er måske at finde der, hvor hun mindst venter det.

What if everything we’ve been told about addiction is wrong? One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to.

What happens when you pack almost a dozen jails, bulging at the seams with society’s cast-offs, onto a spit of landfill purposefully hidden from public view? Prize-winning journalists Graham Rayman and Reuven Blau have spent two years interviewing more than 130 people comprising a broad cross section of lives touched by New York City's Rikers Island prison complex—from incarcerated people and their relatives, to officers, lawyers, and commissioners, with stories spanning the 1970s to the present day. The portrait that emerges calls into question the very nature of justice in America.

At Jessica McCord's house, law enforcement officials found windows covered in blankets, a cache of weapons and ammunition, carpets torn up, new tile on the floors, and the couch missing. Then they learned about the nasty divorce and bitter custody battle that had landed Jessica in jail. Along with her new police officer husband, Jessica became the prime suspect in this brutal double murder.

Transformative justice seeks to solve the problem of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. Community-based approaches to preventing crime and repairing its damage have existed for centuries. However, in the putative atmosphere of contemporary criminal justice systems, they are often marginalized and operate under the radar. Beyond Survival puts these strategies front and center as real alternatives to today's failed models of confinement and "correction."

Quanti sono gli errori giudiziari in Italia? Quante persone ogni anno subiscono la custodia cautelare, salvo poi rivelarsi innocenti? E qual è la spesa che lo Stato affronta per risarcirle?

Despite its omnipresence and long history, imprisonment is a deeply troubling practice. In the United States and elsewhere, prison conditions are inhumane, prisoners are treated without dignity, and sentences are extremely harsh. Mass incarceration and its devastating impact on black communities have been widely condemned as neoslavery or “the new Jim Crow.” Can the practice of imprisonment be reformed, or does justice require it to be ended altogether?

In 2004, the murder of a middle-aged couple in their village bungalow lifted the lid on the great untold story of British organized crime. The slaughter of Joan and John Stirland revealed an evil empire of powerful ganglords, contract killings, and police corruption. At its dark heart was the East Midlands city of Nottingham.

Sagt er die Wahrheit? Wird sie mich wirklich anrufen? Was denken die Kollegen über mich? Ist meine Partnerin noch glücklich oder steht unsere Liebe vor dem Aus? Wer möchte nicht mal hinter die Fassade schauen und wissen, was in den Köpfen anderer Menschen vorgeht, was sie denken und wie sie wirklich fühlen. Nichts ist so spannend wie Menschen zu "lesen" – nonverbale Signale in Mimik und Körpersprache bei sich und anderen zu entschlüsseln und so seine Mitmenschen und sich selbst besser zu verstehen.

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

For nearly three decades, Dr Colin Manock was in charge of South Australia's forensic pathology services. In cases of unexpected or unexplained death, it was his job to determine when a person took their final breath, and whether they had died naturally - or not. But Manock did not have the necessary training for such a specialist role, and made serious errors in several major cases. The full extent of his wrongdoing, and the exact number of cases impacted by it, remain a mystery more than twenty-five years after he retired.

Legal scholar Daniel S. Medwed argues that our justice system’s stringent procedural rules are largely to blame for the ongoing punishment of the innocent. Even when there is strong evidence of a miscarriage of justice, rigid guidelines, bias, and deference toward lower courts all too often prevent exoneration. Offering clear explanations of legal procedures alongside heart-wrenching stories of their devastating impact, Barred exposes how the system is stacked against the innocent—and makes a powerful call for change.

Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random—the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A Is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries.
