Stanford University Press Karman: A Brief Treatise on Action, Guilt, and
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be responsible for our actions? In this brief and elegant study, Giorgio Agamben traces our most profound moral intuitions back to their roots in the sphere of law and punishment. Moral accountability, human free agency, and even the very concept of cause and effect all find their origin in the language of the trial, which Western philosophy and theology both transform into the paradigm for all of human life. In his search for a way out of this destructive paradigm, Agamben not only draws on minority opinions within the Western tradition but engages at length with Buddhist texts and concepts for the first time. In sum, Karman deepens and rearticulates some of Agamben's core insights while breaking significant new ground.

Scribe Publications Ruth Bader Ginsburg: a life
Book SynopsisThe definitive account of an icon who shaped gender equality for all women. In this comprehensive, revelatory biography — fifteen years of interviews and research in the making — historian Jane Sherron De Hart explores the central experiences that crucially shaped Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, and her meticulous jurisprudence. At the heart of her story and abiding beliefs was her Jewish background, specifically the concept of tikkun olam, the Hebrew injunction to ‘repair the world’, with its profound meaning for a young girl who grew up during the Holocaust and World War II. Ruth’s journey began with her mother, who died tragically young but whose intellect inspired her daughter’s feminism. It stretches from Ruth’s days as a baton twirler at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School to Cornell University to Harvard and Columbia Law Schools; to becoming one of the first female law professors in the country and having to fight for equal pay and hide her second pregnancy to avoid losing her job; to becoming the director of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project and arguing momentous anti-sex-discrimination cases before the US Supreme Court. All this, even before being nominated in 1993 to become the second woman on the Court, where her crucial decisions and dissents are still making history. Intimately, personably told, this biography offers unprecedented insight into a pioneering life and legal career whose profound impact will reverberate deep into the twenty-first century and beyond.Trade Review‘Readable and rewarding … Ginsburg is a true-blue legal icon.’ -- Michelle Olsen * NPR *‘Engaging and admiring.’ * The Wall Street Journal *‘An accomplished account of Ginsburg’s life that also probes the fissures of feminism as it developed over the past 70 years … offers a humane and definitive portrait of Ginsburg’s life and times, full of context and colour.’ -- Frieda Klotz * Sunday Independent *‘[A]n excellent biography based on archives and interviews with colleagues and friends: In its comprehensiveness, range and attention to detail, this is a vivid account of a remarkable life ... De Hart’s chapters on the landmark cases Ginsburg argued, which were the original core of her book project, are detailed and accessible.’ -- Jeffrey Rosen * The Washington Post *‘In a revealing new biography, 15 years in the making, Jane Sherron De Hart helps untangle the mystery of the decorous Ginsburg as feminist gladiator.’ -- Dahlia Lithwick * The Atlantic *‘This hefty book of more than seven hundred pages portrays the history of an outstanding legal expert known and applauded for her advancement of gender equality and civil rights. It is an American story that should be read as an example of what is possible when one has family support, internal grit, moral certainty, and scholarly expertise. Read about Ginsburg’s role in the ACLU, look into case histories, watch her as a college professor, look at the political wrangling, and examine her performance as a judge in the Appeals Courts and as a Supreme Court Justice. This is a wondrous tale, recorded well, that resounds as an American epic.’ -- Aron Row * Seattle Book Review *‘An in-depth biography of the Supreme Court justice who has become a pop-culture icon.’ * USA Today *‘De Hart’s thorough biography relates this life story with a nice sense of the sweep of feminist and legal history that is contained within it.’ * Minneapolis Star Tribune *‘The first comprehensive biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg … De Hart excels in explaining the majority opinions, and later the dissents, in which she participated with remarkable clarity, illuminating the issues, the competing positions, and the significance of each in language easily grasped by readers with no legal training (for a nonlawyer, De Hart has a remarkable grasp of court jurisprudence) ... A monumental biography of one of the most influential and revered Supreme Court justices of the last century.’ STARRED REVIEW * Kirkus Reviews *‘De Hart's great strength is her ability to explain Ginsburg's cases and the legal strategies she employed … An insightful, fascinating, and admiring biography of one of America's most extraordinary jurists.’ * Publishers Weekly *‘Meticulously researched … Ginsburg’s career is skillfully placed within the context of American social and political history.’ * Library Journal *‘Passionate and thorough … A major event in scholarship on American law.’ * Washington Monthly *‘Scholarly, yet accessible … Rewarding and compelling.’ * Pittsburgh Post-Gazette *‘Magisterial and timely … Written in clear language and grounded in historical context.’ * The Forward *‘Compelling … De Hart succeeds in showing us that the 107th person to be appointed to the Supreme Court is much more than a pop culture icon.’ * Jewish Journal *‘A masterful biography that adds depth and insight to Ginsburg's only-in-America life story.’ -- Kenneth Jost * Washington Independent Review of Books *‘De Hart displays an impressive grasp of each area of Ginsburg's legal influence, from women's rights to voting rights to gay rights to immigrant rights, with a particular focus on striking down laws that discriminated on the basis of gender.’ -- Mary Ann Gwinn * Newsweek *‘Does a daunting job of restoring Ginsburg’s impressive roots … As Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ De Hart leaves no doubt that, in Justice Ginsburg’s hands, that arc will undoubtedly continue to bend.’ -- Priscilla Kipp * BookPage *‘A rigorous, comprehensive, deftly written biography.’ * The National Book Review *‘Couldn't have come at a more opportune time ... This in-depth tome clocks in at more than 500 pages, but promises a first-of-its kind look inside RBG's personal and professional lives ... already at the top of our holiday shopping lists for the formidable women and girls in our lives.’ -- Quinn Keany * Popsugar *‘De Hart dynamically devotes more than 500 pages to the amazing life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg … This extensively documented account … is also quite engaging and very easy to read.’ STARRED REVIEW -- Kathleen McBroom * Booklist *Praise for Women's America: refocusing the past: ‘Women's America is exceptional at providing a variety of perspectives, experiences, and knowledge about women's economic, social, cultural, political, and sexual lives throughout a broad expanse of time and geography.’ -- Sandra Slater, College of Charleston

Oxford University Press Inc Coercive Control
Book SynopsisOne of the most important books ever written on domestic violence, Coercive Control breaks through entrenched views of physical abuse that have ultimately failed to protect women. Evan Stark, founder of one of America''s first battered women''s shelters, shows how domestic violence is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking. Drawing on court records, interviews, and FBI statistics, Stark details coercive strategies that men use to deny women their very personhood, from beeper games to food logs to micromanaging dress, speech, sexual activity, and work. Stark urges us to move beyond the injury model and focus on the real victimization that allows men to violate women''s human rights with impunity. Provocative and brilliantly argued, Coercive Control reframes abuse as a liberty crime rather than a crime of assault and points the way to bringing real equality for women in line with their formal riTrade ReviewRegardless of whether readers agree or disagree with Stark's contentions or agree only in part, we guarantee they will not ever be bored. It is hoped that this book will be widely read and discussed and its major points incorporated into our daily work. In essence, this book should serve as a catalyst to reinvigorate the domestic violence movement. * Violence Against Women *...a fascinating new look at how the very question of 'why women stay' has been wrongheaded from the start. * Salon.com *...a book of tremendous import to anyone working with the issue of domestic violence...Coercive Control is a sweeping, compelling and meticulously detailed argument...If, as Stark suggests, the domestic violence field is on the verge of a Kuhnian revolution, this book is the bugle blast. * Sex Roles *Coercive Control is one of the most important books ever written about domestic violence and one that should be widely read by advocates, policymakers, and academics. * Domestic Violence Report *The mix of research, case material and the author's compelling perspective make the book very readable and engaging. * The Psychologist *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Circular Economy and the Law
Book SynopsisThis book explores the role of law and policy in circular economy transitions and their impacts on justice, including on distributional equity and recognition and procedural rights, especially for people already marginalised under the current dominant economic system.Amid increasing demand for virgin raw materials, and unsustainable consumption and waste disposal that are driving the global ecological and climate crisis, there are growing calls to urgently transition to circular economies. Despite an increasing number of circular approaches being adopted, implemented, and integrated in national and local laws and policies, the number of commercially successful business stories remains isolated. Moreover, questions about whether circular economy laws and policies are delivering fair and just global outcomes need to be addressed. This book examines this significant knowledge gap to understand legal experiences, including justice and equity issues in the global context, so that Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Harvard University Press Legality
Book SynopsisLegality is a profound work in analytical jurisprudence, the branch of legal philosophy which deals with metaphysical questions about the law. In this book, the author shows how law can be thought of as a set of plans to achieve complex human goals.Trade ReviewLegality is the most important contribution about the nature of law in recent years and a book that raises the bar for future work in jurisprudence. With admirable clarity, Shapiro argues that legal systems should not be understood simply in terms of rules, but instead as highly complex tools for creating and applying plans. His account offers an illuminating alternative to the literature and challenges much received wisdom. -- Thom Brooks * Times Higher Education *It cannot be doubted that Shapiro’s book, which clarifies and advances analytical jurisprudence, is bound to be a classic text. -- Ekow Yankah * Jotwell *[Legality] is a sympathetic, accessible, and highly readable exposition of the theories that have preceded it. It is now one of the best single-authored introductions to the subject. It is also a significant contribution. Moreover, it is an apologia for the subject itself, and for the method of conceptual analysis as a way of uncovering the nature and grounds of law… Both as a defense and example of analytic jurisprudence…this book is unrivalled. -- William A. Edmundson * Jurisprudence *This book is…imaginative, incisive, fair to interlocutors, and written with elegance and wit… It is essential reading for philosophers of law. -- Mark C. Murphy * Law and Philosophy *I feel confident that Legality is one of the very best books in general jurisprudence in many, many years… I suspect that Legality will become a standard work for students of law and philosophy… Everyone who engages in the academic study of law should read Legality—it is that important. -- Lawrence B. Solum * Legal Theory blog *Rich and vibrant with jurisprudential ambition… There are lots of riches in Scott Shapiro’s book… I have not been able to convey how well this book is written or how much light the author is able to shed along the way on various issues in the philosophy of law… It shows that the idea of planning can indeed cast light on the problems of jurisprudence without necessarily blinding us to other analogies and other sources of insight. -- Jeremy Waldron * Michigan Law Review *Scott Shapiro’s Legality is a rich and ambitious discussion of law’s fundamental nature. Almost every page is provocative, touching upon many of the most interesting, complicated and controversial areas within this area of inquiry. -- Stefan Sciaraffa * Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *Legality makes a contribution to the field that no student of jurisprudence can ignore. -- Judith Baer * Political Science Quarterly *Shapiro has produced a work of enduring significance. -- Frederick Schauer * Yale Law Journal *Highly recommended. * Choice *A strikingly original, highly accessible, and well-worked-out theory of the nature of law. Shapiro is on the positivist side, but a tremendous strength of the book is that it engages deeply and sympathetically with natural law and anti-positivist theorists. Everyone serious about the philosophy of law needs to read this book. -- Mark Greenberg, University of California, Los AngelesAn outstanding contribution—almost certainly the most important book on its topic since Dworkin’s Law’s Empire. Legality develops a novel and forceful account of the nature of law, but the engagements with other prominent accounts are so resolutely fair and powerfully presented that, were I to suggest one book for someone wanting to understand contemporary debates in jurisprudence, this would be it. -- Arthur Ripstein, University of Toronto

Harvard University Press Rage for Order The British Empire and the
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book is a major achievement. Benton and Ford provide a powerful new way of understanding the global reach and effects of modern British imperialism. By connecting projects of colonial governance with new visions of global legal ordering, they offer a bold rethinking of the imperial context for the emergence of modern international law. -- Robert Travers, Cornell UniversityThe authors go deep into the archives to reveal the crucial interactions of countless colonial governors, crusading ship captains, misguided magistrates, inquisitive imperial commissioners, and frustrated Westminster bureaucrats whose words and deeds collectively constituted a nascent global legal order. By telling the often marvelous stories of law’s minions rather than its mandarins, Benton and Ford have done nothing less than help us understand the shambling character of our own international legal order as it arose out of empire two centuries ago. -- Paul D. Halliday, University of VirginiaBenton and Ford marshal a vast array of archival evidence to shed new light on the development of law within and at the edges of the British Empire. They show that political and military activities were saturated with legal claims and that many and often competing actors—merchants and missionaries, sailors and convicts, middling officials and local elites—contributed to a ‘new vernacular imperial constitutionalism,’ with profound and unexpected consequences for international law. -- Jennifer Pitts, University of Chicago[Benton and Ford] present a substantially researched history of British administrative control in the nation’s empire. -- S. R. Silverburg * Choice *Rage for Order is a book of exceptional range and insight. Its successes are numerous. At a time when questions of law and legalism are attracting more and more attention from historians of 19th-century Britain and its empire, but still tend to be considered within very specific contexts, its sweep and ambition are particularly welcome…Rage for Order is a book that deserves to have major implications both for international legal history, and for the history of modern imperialism. It succeeds in positioning law at the very center of British imperial government and imperial political thinking in a way that future work will, or at least should, find impossible to ignore. -- Alex Middleton * Reviews in History *Benton and Ford present a picture of law that was multi-centered and polyphonic but that nonetheless undergirded the expansion of British global power…This is a book which will receive a deservedly enthusiastic reception among scholars of law and empire, and which may well cause a stir with its more subversive trespasses into the field of international relations. -- Julia Stephens * British Studies *Truly remarkable. Rage for Order is a stunning example of what can be achieved through a combination of erudition, conceptual innovation, and diligent work in the archives. This book describes in detail how the transformation of the global order that took place in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars was driven by legal reform in the British Empire…Rage for Order offers a fresh account of nineteenth-century global order that takes us beyond worn liberal and post- colonial narratives into a new and more adventurous terrain, and adds significant detail and nuance to those intellectual histories that have already done much to complicate received views. -- Jens Bartelson * Australian Historical Studies *

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Crime and Control in China
Book SynopsisChina is a transitional society with one of the highest inequality rates in the world. Criminologists would typify this as a highly toxic combination, creating very high levels of crime. Yet China reports extremely low crime rates. How might this be? With this book, Børge Bakken shows that the reality in China does not match the rosy picture of low crime and rule-by-law that the authorities present to the world. Looking beyond the statistics, Bakken discovers that violent crime is a particularly sensitive issue', deliberately censored by party propaganda and by an unaccountable police force that can vanish' any type of crime to a degree that makes a crime rate' a mere formality. As Bakken reveals, official Chinese crime statistics cannot be used to make assumptions about China''s crime profile. Even the assumption that crime represents the problem and control its solution is not valid, Bakken argues. Because when control becomes part of the problem, the false assumption of a Trade Review"Børge Bakken’s incisive analysis reveals China as a far higher crime society than fraudulent statistics suggest. As we turn the pages of this sophisticated book, we grasp the evolution of a society where “the rich get richer and the poor get execution”. This is a monumental contribution to comprehending the devolution of despotism and dissent. What Bakken describes is a surveillance capitalist authoritarianism produced by a Chinese Communist Party that learned from Western tech corporations."John Braithwaite, University of Maryland "An engagingly written, evidence-based account that demolishes long-standing myths about the nature of crime and punishment in China, not least the regime's efforts to systematically hide the widespread violence and soaring crime rates that lurk behind one of the world’s most unequal societies."Frank Dikötter, University of Hong KongTable of ContentsMap Chronology Introduction Shùzì / Numbers 1.

Cambridge University Press Combatting the Code
Book SynopsisAcross the world, governments are grappling with the regulatory burden of managing their citizens'' daily lives. Driven by cost-cutting and efficiency goals, they have turned to artificial intelligence and automation to assist in high-volume decision-making. Yet the implementation of these technologies has caused significant harm and major scandals. Combatting the Code analyzes the judicial, political, managerial, and regulatory controls for automated government decision-making in three Western liberal democracies: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Yee-Fui Ng develops a technological governance framework of ex ante and ex post controls within an interlinking network of horizontal and vertical accountability mechanisms, which aims to prevent future disasters and safeguard vulnerable individuals subject to automated technologies. Ng provides recommendations for regulators and policymakers seeking to design automated governance systems that will promote higher standards of accountability, transparency, and fairness.

Taylor & Francis A Practical Guide to Paying off Your Mortgage
Book SynopsisOwning a property is a dream for many people, and borrowing from banks is often essential to achieve this. However, having a mortgage can cause real anxiety because of the latent fear of losing our home if we cannot keep up with mortgage payments. Traditionally, homeowners repay their debt over 25 years, but high house prices have made it necessary to increase the term up to 40 years to make monthly payments affordable. Spreading the debt over a longer period of time not only means that borrowers have to pay more interest, but they are also exposed to other risks such as potential interest rate rises and changes in personal circumstances affecting their mortgage eligibility. These can lead to financial worries, financial stress, and reduced well-being. There are few practical guides available to show borrowers how to manage their mortgage debt more effectively, and how to repay their mortgage quickly so that they are debt-free.This book seeks to empower consumers, young and o

Book SynopsisDegrowth is a rejection of the illusion of growth and a call to repoliticize the public debate colonized by the idiom of economism. It is a project advocating the democratically-led shrinking of production and consumption with the aim of achieving social justice and ecological sustainability.This overview of degrowth offers a comprehensive coverage of the main topics and major challenges of degrowth in a succinct, simple and accessible manner. In addition, it offers a set of keywords useful forintervening in current political debates and for bringing about concrete degrowth-inspired proposals at different levels - local, national and global.The result is the most comprehensive coverage of the topic of degrowth in English and serves as the definitive international reference.More information at: vocabulary.degrowth.orgView the author spotlight featuring events and press related to degrowth at http://t.co/k9qbQpyuYp.Trade Review‘One of the most thorough and insightful presentations and discussion of economic theory and practice in the field of de-growth economics, a revolutionary attempt to understand the economy as if humans and Nature matter.’ -- Manuel Castells, University of California, Berkeley, USA‘At a time in history when political, economic and intellectual leaders assure us that nothing fundamental can any longer be questioned, nothing could be more important than the movement - of thought, and of action – that this volume on Degrowth represents. It raises the prospect of finally ejecting the twin demons of productivism and consumerism that are responsible for so many historical failures of the left as well as the right, and begins to set about the real work of imagining and building a society fit for human beings to live in.’ -- David Graeber, London School of Economics, UK.‘The most comprehensive coverage of the topic of degrowth in English … the definitive international reference.’ -- Australian Quarterly‘This book should be compulsory reading for all students everywhere. The authorities would be well advised to ban it. Perhaps, as in ‘Fahrenheit 451’, in the transition to degrowth global societies idealists will memorize some of these short and inspiring prose poems showing that another world is possible.’ -- Leslie Sklair, The British Journal of Sociology‘Without question, the publication of this volume is a welcome addition to the literature on degrowth.’ -- Andrew J.

Essays in this collection recognize the necessity to face this difficult convergent task of justly sharing our finite world.’ -- Herman Daly, University of Maryland, USA.‘Exciting and deeply subversive.’ -- Clive Hamilton, Charles Sturt University and University of Melbourne, Australia‘This exciting book is a pioneering exploration of the recently come-of-age field of degrowth economics and policy. It will be landmark for all those who want to transcend the growth fetish that has so many enthralled today.’ -- James Gustave Speth, Vermont Law School, Royalton.‘This timely book takes us a great step forward by providing an impressive collection of concepts and ideas related to the degrowth debate.’ -- Inge Røpke, Aalborg University, Denmark.‘Indispensable for anybody interested in moving beyond mere retrofit solutions to the most important economic and ecological conundrums of our time.’ -- Deepak Malghan, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, India, and Princeton University, USA‘What a splendid vocabulary! A range of international authors brilliantly surveys the emerging field of an economics which bids farewell to the obsession of growth. The entries are compact yet eloquent, learned yet action-oriented. Whoever wants to know more about an economy of permanence for the 21th century should reach for this book.’ -- Wolfgang Sachs, Wuppertal Institute, Berlin, Germany.‘The definitive collection on degrowth … an invaluable source of knowledge and inspiration for anyone interested academically or politically in alternative ways of thinking and acting about the environment and development.’ -- Maria Kaika, University of Manchester, UK.‘Degrowth takes the false coin of economic growth via capital accumulation and confronts it head on. The essential message for our time.’ -- John Bellamy Foster, University of Oregon, USA‘An encyclopaedic compendium, at once widely accessible and deeply informative.’ -- Ariel Salleh, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany.‘Like it or not, this persistence of degrowth must be recognized, and credit given to its capacity of spurring new debates and new forms of social mobilization, appealing to all those who continue to see ‘growth’ as a false solution to social problems and a true disaster for the environment.’ -- Stefania Barca, University of Coimbra, Portugal.‘Will it be possible to escape from the monster of growth? We need to think new utopias to orient us. And these one can find in this book.’ -- Alberto Acosta, Economist and ex-President of the National Constitutional Assembly of Ecuador‘A must read for all those who firmly believe that modern economy has reached its dead-end.’ -- Sudhirendar Sharma, Independent Environmental ConsultantTable of ContentsPreface Giacomo D'Alisa, Federico Demaria, Giorgios Kallis Foreword Francois Schneider and Fabrice FlipoIntroduction: Degrowth Giorgios Kallis, Federico Demaria, Giacomo D'Alisa Part 1: Lines of thought 1.Anti-utilitarianism: Onofrio Romano 2.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Social Control: An Introduction
Book SynopsisWhat is social control? How do social controls become part of everyday life? What role does the criminal justice system play in exerting control? Is the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness a form of social control? Do we need more social controls to prevent terrorist atrocities? In this third edition of his popular introduction, James J. Chriss carefully guides readers through the debates about social control. The book provides a comprehensive guide to historical debates and more recent controversies, examining in detail the criminal justice system, medicine, national security, and everyday life. Chriss blends theoretical discussion with a rich range of contemporary examples to illustrate the ways in which social control is exerted and maintained. The updated edition includes new or expanded material on autism, trauma and PTSD, sports participation, the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing protests, domestic terrorism, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing importance of social media in surveillance and informal control, among other topics. Social Control is essential reading for students taking courses in deviance and social control, and will also appeal to those studying criminology, the sociology of law, and medical sociology.Trade Review“Professor Chriss has written a theoretically informed and far-ranging account of the origins, types, and functions of social control in human society. Key concepts are reinforced by relevant present-day case studies. Highly recommended.”William C. Cockerham, Emeritus, University of Alabama, and College of William and Mary “Chriss reminds us that social control, the flip side of deviance, is central to social life; all societies practice it, from the pinnacle of the power structure to all of us at the grassroots, in our interactions with others on a one-to-one basis.”Erich Goode, Emeritus, Stony Brook UniversityTable of ContentsPART I UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL CONTROL 1 What Is Social Control? 2 A Typology of Social Control 3 Informal Control 4 Medical Control 5 Legal Control PART II CASE STUDIES IN SOCIAL CONTROL 6 Informal Control: Housing Segregation, the Code of the Street, and Emerging Adulthood and Morality 7 Medical Control: Selective Mutism, Autism, and Violence as a Disease 8 Legal Control: Racial Profiling, Hate Crimes, and the Imprisonment Binge 9 Terrorism and Social Control 10 Conclusion: The Future of Social Control Notes References

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC A Transnational Study of Law and Justice on TV
Book SynopsisThis collection examines law and justice on television in different countries around the world. It provides a benchmark for further study of the nature and extent of television coverage of justice in fictional, reality and documentary forms. It does this by drawing on empirical work from a range of scholars in different jurisdictions. Each chapter looks at the raw data of how much "justice" material viewers were able to access in the multi-channel world of 2014 looking at three phases: apprehension (police), adjudication (lawyers), and disposition (prison/punishment). All of the authors indicate how television developed in their countries. Some have extensive public service channels mixed with private media channels. Financing ranges from advertising to programme sponsorship to licensing arrangements. A few countries have mixtures of these. Each author also examines how "TV justice" has developed in their own particular jurisdiction. Readers will find interesting variations and thought-provoking similarities. There are a lot of television shows focussed on legal themes that are imported around the world. The authors analyse these as well. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in law, popular culture, TV, or justice and provides an important addition to the literature due to its grounding in empirical data.Trade ReviewThe survey, within its chosen and well defined limits of scope and approach, offers, first and foremost, reliable quantitative affirmation of the American dominance of law and justice on TV (with the exception of the UK), and of the dominance of series featuring police focus over lawyer and punishment focus ... The survey will serve as excellent framework and basis for further studies along the quantitative/empirical lines laid out. -- Lars Ole Sauerberg * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *Table of Contents1.
