Criminal Law and Criminal Justice: Morals and Policy goes beyond the traditional criminal law textbook and invites students to question why we criminalise certain behaviour and whether the decisions made by the courts can be justified according to legal principle, morals and policy.Providing an overview not only of the legal doctrine of criminal law, but also of the underpinning theory behind the legal doctrine, the book encourages critical thinking around the context behind, and implementation of, legal decisions. It applies this to current issues, such as respect for personal autonomy, prevention of domestic abuse and discouraging gang activity, whilst providing a clear overview of the law relating to actus reus, mens rea, property offences, homicide, non-fatal offences, sexual offences, accessorial liability, and defences. Using hypothetical scenarios, students will develop an understanding of why certain rules exist and then be able to critically analyse why certain behaviour is criminalised. An in-depth study of several key cases will show how the rules and theory play out in practice, and students will examine how morals and policy have influenced these decisions.Featuring thinking points as well as further reading suggestions, this textbook is suitable for all students of criminal law, as well as for ...

Audiokniha: Cormac McCarthy vydal svůj pátý román, Krvavý poledník aneb Večerní červánky na západe, v roce 1985, a přestože byly kritické recenze víceméně příznivé, většinu hodnotitelů zarazila nebývalá míra násilí a pozoruhodná absence morálních zásad. Z komerčního hlediska nebyla kniha příliš úspěšná a trvalo několik dalších let, než byla čtenáři opravdu doceněna. Dnes je už pravidelně ražena mezi nejdůležitější americké romány dvacátého století. Dej se odehrává v letech 1849-1850 na americko-mexickém pomezí, kde Glantonova tlupa nájemných zabijáku loví pro mexickou vládu indiánské skalpy. V tlupě se objevuje mnoho historicky doložených postav, ale též smyšlený a bezejmenný šestnáctiletý kluk, protagonista celého příběhu. Nade všemi se však tyčí tajuplný soudce Holden, jenž právem aspiruje na nejzlověstnější postavu americké literatury vůbec. Krvavý poledník je syrovou výpravou do historického mezidobí, které na Západe zavládlo po americko-mexické válce a kdy platil pouze zákon silnějšího, zákon rychlejší ruky a zákon většího kalibru. V nachově masitých barvách, za libozvučného křupání chrupavek a s nasládlou pachutí krve se zde v celé své grotesknosti vyjevuje pravá podstata lidství – ovládá nás krutost, násilí, válka. CORMAC McCARTHY se narodil roku 1933 v Providence ve státě Rhode Island. Navštevoval University of Tennessee, během studií začal psát a publikovat a univerzitu nedokončil. ...

The story of a nameless father and son trying to survive with their humanity intact in a postapocalyptic wasteland where Earth’s natural resources have been diminished, and some survivors are left to raise others for meat, The Road is one of Cormac McCarthy’s bleakest and most prescient novels. Dedicated to his son, John Francis McCarthy, McCarthy’s The Road is one of his most personal novels.Ranked 17th on The Guardian’s 100 Best Novels of the 21st century, it was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for literature, and the James Tait Black Memorial Award, the Believer Award, and it was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. This first official graphic novel adaptation of McCarthy’s work is illustrated by acclaimed French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who ably transforms the world depicted by McCarthy’s spare and brutal prose into stark ink drawings that add an additional layer to this haunting tale of family love and human perseverance. Cormac McCarthy personally approved the making of this book before his death, and the adaptation bears the approval of the McCarthy estate.

This revised and updated new edition focuses on major developments in sentencing law, practice and theory. Sentencing in England and Wales is now dominated by Sentencing Council guidelines, and scrutiny of those guidelines is central to this book. Issues of principle are identified and discussed, to include the constitutional position of the Sentencing Council; the meaning of, and challenges to, proportionality; and the sentencing of BAME offenders and women offenders. The book welcomes the new Sentencing Code, introduced as the Sentencing Act 2020, and critically examines the government’s plans for sentencing reform, set out in the 2020 White Paper A Smarter Approach to Sentencing. Throughout the book, sentencing is explored in its wider criminal justice context – making it essential reading for courses on sentencing, criminal justice and criminal law.

Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted play from the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page' - Financial TimesA startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment the two men, known as 'Black' and 'White', begin a conversatino that leads each back through his own history.White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con in recovery for drug addiction, is the more hopeful of the men. He is, however, desperate to convince White of the power of faith - while White is desperate to deny it.Between them, they hope to discover the meaning of life itself. Praise for Cormac McCarthy:'McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute' - Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' - Stephen King, author of ...

When reclusive billionaire Huguette Clark dies age 104, she leaves behind a suite of New York apartments, a meticulously upkept California mansion, at least one Monet and her vast collection of antique dolls. Having barely been outside for 50 years, the elusive Clark spoke to few--in this highly unreliable, semi-fictional miniature epic, the dolls tell all.Theirs is a tale that takes us from their lavish Park Avenue home back in time to the slave plantations of Virginia and the palaces of Imperial Japan via the addictive hedonism of 1930s queer LA.Joyfully irreverent, Top Doll is a story of love, betrayal, Barbies and ultimately, what it means to be human.***Praise for An Aviary of Small Birds:'A beautiful, painful, pitch-perfect debut . ..

''Comprehensive and groundbreaking.'' Dylan WiliamEquity in Education sets out a new equity-based approach in education to help teachers improve the prospects of under-resourced and working-class pupils.The equity approach recognises that we must address our own cultural biases and barriers within the classroom, while helping to remove extra barriers to learning experienced by children outside schools. Based on thousands of research studies and years of working with expert teachers, the book sets out the principles and practical strategies for trainee teachers, teachers and teacher leaders.Adopting an equity mindset involves four key principles:· equity not equality - doing more to overcome the extra barriers some learners experience· capacity not deficit thinking - recognising the talents in all pupils· deep not shallow relationships - developing authentic individual relationships with pupils· multiple not singular talents - acknowledging that human talents come in many forms.Equity in Education also advocates the national policies that would enable teachers to prioritise an equitable approach and reduce divides between the education haves and have-nots.

‘If one of the problems facing new playwrights is the expectation that each of their plays should be similar in style, Wade…proved that you could radically change both form and content… Not every writer delivers on their early promise. As this collection clearly shows, Wade certainly has.’ Aleks Sierz, from his IntroductionColder Than Here: ‘Laura Wade’s play is a 90-minute masterpiece, a jewel, dark bu ttranslucent. It is a play of love, death and grief: the grief that is hardest to bear, because it begins before the loved one dies.’ Sunday TimesBreathing Corpses: ‘The tension, the emotions and the sense of absurdity and fear are brilliantly handled... A terrifying tour de force.’ Sunday TimesOther Hands: ‘This is an extraordinary feat – a vicious satire with a heart of gold –wrought with peculiar subtlety and intelligence.’ The Spectator

A tale of obsession and very big fish from Jeremy Wade, the presenter of ITV''s RIVER MONSTERS.Over ten feet long, it weighs in at nearly a quarter of a ton. Covering its back are armoured plates made of bone. Five hundred stiletto-sharp teeth line its long crocodilian jaws. It''s a prehistoric beast of staggering proportions; a fearsome creature from the time of the dinosaurs.But the Alligator Gar, an air-breathing survivor from the Cretaceous period is still with us today, patrolling inland rivers, hunting in murky waters shared by human communities.And for Jeremy Wade, described as the ''greatest angling explorer of his generation'', the Gar and other outlandish freshwater predators have been an obsession for all his adult life. With names like Arapaima, Snakehead, Goonch, Goliath Tigerfish and Electric Eel, many of them have acquired an almost mythical status.In a quest that has taken him from the Amazon to the Congo, and from North America to the mountains of India, Wade has pursued the truth about these little known, often misunderstood animals. Along the way he''s survived a plane crash, malaria and a fish-inflicted blow to the chest that, according to a later scan, caused permanent scarring to his heart.In RIVER ...

John Wayne died more than thirty years ago, but he remains one of today''s five favorite movie stars. The celebrated Hollywood icon comes fully to life in this complex portrait by noted film historian and master biographer Scott Eyman. Exploring Wayne''s early life with a difficult mother and a feckless father, "Eyman gets at the details that the bean-counters and myth-spinners miss…Wayne''s intimates have told things here that they''ve never told anyone else" (Los Angeles Times). Eyman makes startling connections to Wayne''s later days as an anti-Communist conservative, his stormy marriages to Latina women, and his notorious-and surprisingly long-lived-passionate affair with Marlene Dietrich. He also draws on the actor''s own business records and, of course, his storied film career. "We all think we know John Wayne, in part because he seemed to be playing himself in movie after movie. Yet as Eyman carefully lays out, ''John Wayne'' was an invention, a persona created layer by layer by an ambitious young actor" (The Washington Post). This is the most nuanced and sympathetic portrait available of the man who became a symbol of his country at mid-century, a cultural icon and quintessential American male against whom other screen heroes are still compared.
