Cambridge University Press Doubt in Islamic Law
Book SynopsisThrough a close examination of legal, historical, and theological sources, this book considers a largely neglected area of Islamic law, calling into question a controversial popular notion about Islamic law today, which is that Islamic law is a divine legal tradition that has little room for discretion or doubt, particularly in Islamic criminal law.Trade Review'In her extremely detailed book, Intisar A. Rabb traces the formation of the legal maxim of doubt in Islamic criminal law from the seventh until the eleventh century (CE) within both the Sunni and Shi'i legal traditions … Rabb's book offers an important contribution to the study of Islamic law. She has shown how the Muslim legal elite, even the eponymous Sunni jurists and their immediate successors, were individual human agents with a pragmatic bent, and as such their juridical thinking was shaped by complex and diverse goals such that they never arrived at a uniform definition of doubt. Neither did they limit themselves to a specific canon of 'texts' in order to develop an increasingly sophisticated jurisprudence of doubt by the eleventh century.' Nurfadzilah Yahaya, Society for Contemporary Thought and the Islamicate World Review'Even for aficionados of progressive legal interpretation who only dabble in Islamic legal theory, among whom this reviewer is most certainly included, the 'closing of the gates of ijtihād' is a concept that is known and, for the most part, feared - but Rabb puts a new spin on that understanding.'

WW Norton & Co Nobodys Child
Book SynopsisA powerful and humane exploration of the history of the "insanity defense," through the story of one poignant case.Trade Review"A deeply moving tale of what happens when we ‘treat’ severe poverty and mental illness through the criminal justice system. Drawing on her firsthand experience and expertise with a modern-day insanity defense trial, Susan Vinocour writes like a novelist, showing us in riveting detail just how injustice operates." -- David Cole, national legal director, ACLU, and author of Engines of Liberty"As passionate as she is knowledgeable, Susan Vinocour brings humanity and dignity to telling the story of a woman whose voice we would otherwise never hear. Nobody's Child wraps a powerful narrative, a thought-provoking reflection on truth and evidence, and a wake-up call about the law's misunderstandings of mental illness into one unforgettable book." -- Susan Cheever, author of Drinking in America"In the age of the accelerated news cycle, the weaponization of outrage, and the easy rush to judgment, Nobody's Child is a harrowing journey through our broken judicial system. Susan Vinocour's expertise as a forensic psychologist—along with her humanity and literary talent—makes for a galvanizing read and, ultimately, a much-needed call for compassion." -- Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland"In this moving, well-researched account of the insanity defense…Vinocour does a fine job explaining the defense in layman's terms. Sterling prose helps make this a page-turner." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Synopsis“Fans of the forensics-oriented novels of such mystery writers as Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell...not to mention television series like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, will make an eager audience for this one.”—BooklistOn a patch of land in the Tennessee hills, human corpses decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria, and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. This is Bill Bass’s “Body Farm,” where nature takes its course as bodies buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, or locked in car trunks serve the needs of science and the cause of justice. In Death’s Acre, Bass invites readers on an unprecedented journey behind the gates of the Body Farm where he revolutionized forensic anthropology. A master scientist and an engaging storyteller, Bass reveals his most intriguing cases for the first time. He revisits the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, explores the mystery of a headless corpse whose identity astonished police, divulges how the telltale traces of an insect sent a murderous grandfather to death row—and much more.INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHSTable of ContentsDeath's AcreForeword by Patricia Cornwall1.

Rowman & Littlefield The Death Penalty
Book SynopsisThe United States is divided about the death penalty17 states have banned it, while the remaining states have not. From wrongful convictions to botched executions, capital punishment is fraught with controversy. In The Death Penalty: What's Keeping It Alive, award-winning criminal defense attorney Andrea Lyon turns a critical eye towards the reasons why the death penalty remains active in most states, in spite of well-documented flaws in the justice system.The book opens with an overview of the history of the death penalty in America, then digs into the reasons capital punishment is a fixture in the justice system of most states. The author argues that religious and moral convictions play a role, as does media coverage of crime and punishment. Politics, however, plays the biggest role, according to the author, with no one wanting to look soft on crime. The death penalty remains a deadly political tool in most of the United States.Trade ReviewAndrea Lyon, Dean of Valparaiso University Law School in Indiana, once again brings her prodigious experience and knowledge to one of the most vexing and polarizing issues in our society, the death penalty, posing the question in her latest book:'What’s keeping it alive?' . . .Lyon’s book includes several informative charts and appendices, as well as links to the most current data on the death penalty. . . .Lyon predicts that the death penalty’s days are numbered. Current debates about its cost and effectiveness, now occurring in most states where it hangs on, support her prediction. If it ends — or, to put it hopefully, when it ends — Andrea Lyon’s reasoned, calm, yet passionate voice will have played an integral part in its demise. This book lays another blow to it. * The Champion, NACDL *A stinging indictment of the death penalty system, focusing in most closely and importantly on the role of the media, and, especially, the moral corruption that permeates many of the prosecutors' offices that regularly do death penalty cases. A must read for anyone interested in this topic. -- Michael L. Perlin, New York Law SchoolThis is an impassioned brief against the American death penalty from a knowledgeable criminal justice insider. Experienced capital defense attorney Andrea D. Lyon shows us through her own life’s work why capital punishment is—and should be—headed for history’s dustbin. -- Carol Steiker, Harvard UniversityAndrea Lyon does a superb job capturing the key issues surrounding the death penalty—past and present. Framed from the perspective of a lawyer who has litigated capital cases, Lyon presents the information with a balanced perspective and thoroughly canvasses the legal landscape of the death penalty. -- Durant Frantzen, Texas A&M University—San AntonioTable of ContentsDedication Acknowledgments Historical Timeline of the Death Penalty Countries with and without the Death Penalty States with and without the Death Penalty Preface 1: The Death Penalty Yesterday and Today 2: Moral and Religious Underpinnings of the Death Penalty 3: The Media as a Messenger of Death 4: The Death Penalty as a Political Tool 5: The Failure and Fate of Capital Punishment

Other Press LLC The Guilt Project: Rape, Morality and Law
Book SynopsisAn English court in 1736 described rape as an accusation “easily to be made and hard to be proved, and harder to be defended by the party accused, though never so innocent. ”To prove the crime, the law required a woman to physically resist, to put up a “hue and cry,” as evidence of her unwillingness. Beginning in the 1970s, however, feminist and victim-advocacy groups began changing attitudes toward rape so the crime is now seen as violent in itself: the legal definition of rape now includes everything from the sadistic serial rapist to the eighteen-year-old who has consensual sex with a fourteen-year-old.This inclusiveness means there are now more rapists among us. And more of rape’s camp followers: the prison-makers, the community watchdogs, law-and-order politicians, and the real-crime/real-time entertainment industry. Vanessa Place examines the ambiguity of rape law by presenting cases where guilt lies, but lies uneasily, and leads into larger ethical questions of what defines guilt, what is justice, and what is considered just punishment. Assuming a society can and must be judged by the way it treats its most despicable members, The Guilt Project looks at the way the American legal system defines, prosecutes, and punishes sex offenders, how this Dateline NBC justice has transformed our conception of who is guilty and how they ought to be treated, and how this has come to undo our deeper humanity

Chicago Review Press Conviction: The Murder Trial That Powered
Book SynopsisOn New Year's Eve, 1939, a horrific triple murder occurred in rural Oklahoma. Within a matter of days, investigators identified the killers: convicts on work release who had been at a craps game with one of the victims the night before. As anger at authorities grew, political pressure mounted to find a scapegoat. The governor's representative settled on a young black farmhand named W.D. Lyons. Lyons was arrested, tortured into signing a confession, and tried for the murder. The NAACP's new Legal Defense and Education Fund sent its young chief counsel, Thurgood Marshall, to take part in the trial. The organization desperately needed money, and Marshall was convinced that the Lyons case could be a fundraising boon for both the state and national organizations. He was right. The case went on to the US Supreme Court, and the NAACP raised much-needed money from the publicity. Unfortunately, not everything went according to Marshall's plan. Filled with dramatic plot twists, Conviction is the story of the oft-forgotten case that set Marshall and the NAACP on the path that ultimately led to victory in Brown v. Board of Education and the accompanying social revolution in the United States.Trade Review"This book deserves a standing ovation. It reveals the compelling story of crusading civil rights attorney Thurgood Marshallwho became the nation's first black Supreme Court justiceand his defense of a black illiterate sharecropper accused of slaughtering three members of a white family in rural Oklahoma. Authors Denver Nicks and his attorney father, John Nicks, shine a light on unforgivable transgressions as they explain how political pressure, intimidation, coercion, and torture can result in a forced confession and the imprisonment of an innocent man." Michael Wallis, bestselling author of Route 66 and The Best Land Under Heaven"By illuminating Thurgood Marshall's earlier, leaner years, Conviction adds a much-needed dimension to the life of one of our more misunderstood civil rights heroes. The most pleasant surprise, however, is Denver and John Nicks's well-rounded and engrossing portrayal of W.D. Lyons, a young man falsely accused of a heinous crime." Patrick Parr, author of The Seminarian: Martin Luther King Jr. Comes of Age" Conviction stamps the name of Willie D. Lyons indelibly on the social conscience." -- New York Journal of Books

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Heimliche Strafverfolgung und Schutz der
Book SynopsisVerdeckte Ermittler, Lauschangriff, Online-Durchsuchung: Die heimliche Strafverfolgung greift um sich. Dennoch steht die Rechtsfrage des Privatheitsschutzes beim Ermittlungszugriff auf die begehrten Informationen inmitten eines unklaren interdisziplinären Bezugsfelds: Ist zum Beispiel nur ein Kernbereich privater Lebensgestaltung absolut über das Verfassungsrecht zu schützen und lassen sich wirklich alle sonstigen Bereiche der Privatsphäre der strafprozessualen Relativierung durch Zugriffsrechte preisgeben? Was gilt gegenüber Nichtverdächtigen und was beim Einsatz neuer Medien? Dabei beschreitet Pierre Hauck einen neuen interdisziplinären Pfad: Er gleicht Erkenntnissen der Informationsethik und der Sozialphilosophie ab und entwickelt ein System abgestufter Schutzwürdigkeit privater Informationen. Dieses System dient als Grundlage einer Rekonstruktion der Ermittlungsbefugnisse, hauptsächlich mit dem Ziel einer zukunftsweisenden Neuformulierung der gesetzlichen Ermittlungsbefugnisse in der StPO.

Book SynopsisDas zwischenstaatliche Amts- und Rechtshilferecht in Steuersachen hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten nicht nur enorm an Bedeutung gewonnen, sondern unterlag insbesondere unter dem Einfluss der Europäischen Union einem wesentlichen Wandel. Während die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit ursprünglich eher von politischen Maßstäben geprägt war, tritt zunehmend der Charakter einer Verrechtlichung hervor, der als Konsequenz vormals noch vernachlässigte Fragen des Grundrechtsschutzes deutlicher in den Vordergrund der Betrachtung rückt. In diesem Kontext verdient unter anderem der "nemo tenetur"-Grundsatz besondere Beachtung. Der steuerliche Auskunftsverkehr ist meist auf Informationen ausgerichtet, die zwangsweise von dem Steuerpflichtigen erlangt werden. Diese Informationen können auch in einem gegen ihn gerichteten Strafverfahren von Bedeutung sein. Hierbei stellt sich insbesondere die Frage, inwiefern ein europäisch verstandener "nemo tenetur"-Grundsatz den steuerlichen Informationshilfeverkehr begrenzend beeinflusst.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Verbot der Rekonstruktion der
Book SynopsisDas Revisionsrecht unterliegt seit Jahrzehnten einem erheblichen Wandel; seine Formenstrenge scheint in Auflösung begriffen. Von diesen tiefgreifenden Veränderungen ist das von den Strafsenaten des Bundesgerichtshofs entwickelte Verbot der Rekonstruktion der Hauptverhandlung weithin unberührt geblieben. Den Revisionsgerichten ist es danach versagt, zur Nachprüfung von Verfahrensrügen mündlichen Prozessstoff der tatrichterlichen Hauptverhandlung im Wege des revisionsgerichtlichen Freibeweises zu rekonstruieren. Diese Rechtsprechung begegnet von jeher Kritik, zumal es an einer tragfähigen Begründung für das Rekonstruktionsverbot fehlt. Nach einer Bestandsaufnahme und Analyse der Rechtsprechung sowie der im Schrifttum vertretenen Auffassungen zum Rekonstruktionsverbot unterzieht Louisa Bartel die bisherigen Begründungsansätze einer kritischen Überprüfung. Vor dem Hintergrund des Kontrollprogramms der Verfahrensrüge und mit Blick auf das verfassungsrechtlich verbürgte Prinzip effektiven Rechtsschutzes zeigt sie Tragfähigkeit und Grenzen des Rekonstruktionsverbots auf.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der Schutz der Psyche im Strafrecht
Book SynopsisDer Gesetzgeber bemüht sich seit einiger Zeit um eine Verbesserung des strafrechtlichen Schutzes der Psyche. Die Strafrechtswissenschaft hat diese Entwicklung bislang kaum zur Kenntnis genommen. Florian Knauer analysiert erstmals systematisch die Grundprobleme eines Schutzes der Psyche durch das Strafrecht. Ein Überblick über die historische Entwicklung und eine strukturierte Darstellung des geltenden Rechts schaffen die notwendigen Grundlagen für die weitere Untersuchung. Die anschließende kritische Würdigung bezieht unter anderem verfassungsrechtliche, rechtsvergleichende, strafrechtshistorische, allgemeine zeithistorische, kriminologische und psychowissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse ein. Der Autor schließt seine Arbeit mit Reformüberlegungen zu vier modernen Angriffsformen auf die Psyche ab: Stalking, Mobbing, psychische Folter und Zersetzung.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Sicherheitsverfassung: Eine systematische
Book SynopsisDie Verfassung der Bundesrepublik ist faktisch nicht nur im Grundgesetz, sondern auch in den nunmehr über 130 Bänden verfassungsgerichtlicher Entscheidungen zu finden. Dies gilt in besonderer Weise für das Recht der inneren Sicherheit, das vom Bundesverfassungsgericht binnen der letzten Dekade in einer beeindruckenden Rechtsprechung verfassungsrechtlich durchwirkt wurde. Hierfür stehen Entscheidungen wie jene zum großen Lauschangriff, zur Rasterfahndung, zur Onlinedurchsuchung oder zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung. Diese umfangreiche Rechtsprechung wird von Steffen Tanneberger in ein System gebracht. Hierzu war zunächst eine induktive Methode zu entfalten, die den systematischen Brüchen und Kontingenzen der Rechtsprechung Rechnung trägt, zugleich aber wiederkehrende Argumentationsfiguren freizulegen vermag. Am Ende steht die derzeitige Antwort des Bundesverfassungsgerichts auf die Frage nach der rechten Balance von Freiheit und Sicherheit: Die Sicherheitsverfassung.
