By accessing penal history through the mediator of individual memory authors can be seen to depict the cumulative dialogue between the English common law and its cultural representations across historical time. Offering legal readings of works by authors including Thomas Hardy, Charles Brockden Brown, Charles Dickens, Samuel Richardson, George MacDonald, Charles Kingsley, Alfred Tennyson, Charlotte Bronte, Robert Browning, Henry Fielding and Sir Walter Scott; this book explores this literary phenomenon and its legal significance during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In doing so it argues that the importance of precedent in Anglo-American common law creates a unique discourse of historical legitimacy that shapes both the cultural and official conceptions of criminality itself during this period. Within a Foucauldian framework, the book illustrates how the cultural memory of crime and punishment contribute to the development of formal and informal penal institutions.

Описание: A collection of original essays drawing on crime fiction and film to explore the implications of how we choose to represent crime to ourselves. By broadening the focus beyond classic English detective fiction, the American `hard-boiled` crime novel and the gangster movie, it breathes new life into staple themes of crime fiction and cinema.
"There are mechanisms in place" (they tell us) by which we are supposed to be able to guarantee the Rule of Law in this State - which is how and why we remain members of the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the EU. But these mechanisms depend on honest people doing their jobs. Police, lawyers, senior civil servants, judges, TD's, Ministers - and even the President too, all have the power and the responsibility to ensure the Rule of Law and the protection of our fundamental rights. Unfortunately, there are far too many 'shady incentives' to protect those in power - no matter how corrupt or dysfunctional they may be - and if there's one thing the modern Irish State has become expert at - it is the active facilitation and cover-ups of political, white-collar and regulatory crime. In fact, we could very well be the world leaders in those dark arts by now, and all the while, the pretence of Irish democracy and accountability is paraded on the world stage with cunningly-disarming, 'diddle-dee-dee' Irish charm.
This small booklet is a serious, damning indictment of the toxic culture that permeates the Irish political and legal world. It asks and demands that the Irish Government abides by the Rule of Law by first of all acknowledging the multiple documented proofs of serious, criminal wrongdoing by senior officials and office holders who continue to act with brass-necked impunity and contempt for the law, the Constitution and for our fundamental human rights.
The law requires that these people are either reformed, or replaced; gone / sacked / fined / imprisoned - or whatever will ensure that the frauds, the deceptions, the corruption, the thefts of land, of public resources and monies, the perjuries, the lies and forgeries, the frame-ups and targeting of otherwise decent people, the conspiracies and rampant rule breaking in the Courts... that all of this shameful, disreputable activity stops right now
The Government is obliged by law to act on this application for a Public Enquiry. Whether they will or will not, will probably all come down to what they think they can get away with while the public is distracted elsewhere. The very fact that they can dismiss outright any complaints or applications that actually NAME any alleged offender should be warning enough. Over 10 years of systemic stonewalling should seal the deal
If we are to live in an autocratic regime where the Rule of Law only applies only to those of us who are gullible enough or complicit enough to never raise a dissenting voice, then we really need to start thinking of our children's futures, and of all those who came before us and suffered and died for a better world.
Who are we to just give it all away to a shower of career miscreants and moral deviants?
This book contains our arguments for why the Irish State - and particularly the Irish Courts are operating unlawfully and immorally with the full knowledge and complicity of the establishment. It shows how the Rule of Law has effectively been replaced by a fog of misdirection and political deceit, and why we urgently need some honest Courts that do not operate as commercial franchises with the common agenda of protecting the status quo.
This little book also details the arguments and legal reasonings for the setting up of the Peoples Tribunal of Ireland and how it will serve the Irish public. Spend a tenner. Buy this book. Educate yourself and lobby your TD. Start thinking about our country in REAL terms. Do we really want a bunch of gombeens running the place for ever?

Описание: This book provides a state of the art, but succinct analysis of the evolution of cybercrime centring upon its economic aspects. It explores how criminal platforms have begun to emulate legitimate wealth generation in this new platform-based economy, thereby changing the practice and organisation of cybercrime.
Описание: This book examines how computational advances in law enforcement and predictive analytics are reshaping the post hoc traditions of the criminal justice system, and becoming surrogate forms of sovereign authority. Drawing on extensive primary field research, including proof-of-concept trials, visits to pre-crime companies, interviews with their technologists and first-hand experiences ‘in the field’ with police officers using predictive software to thwart crimes, the author examines how corporate strategies and law enforcement initiatives are aligning themselves to ‘mould’ and ‘deputize’ individuals into obedient and patriotic citizens.
