Det finns tusentals lagar som påverkar våra liv varje dag. I Så funkar lagarna presenteras de allra viktigaste lagarna. Många av dem är självklara: Den som rånar en butik eller slår ner en främling på gatan bryter mot lagen. Men ibland blir det mer komplicerat, och också sådana exempel tas upp i boken. Vad är egentligen allemansrätten? Får man gå i vilken skog man vill?

Ett av samhällets största problem är missbruk. Idag vet vi betydligt mer om hur ett urspårat missbruk påverkar en människas hjärna, men vad är det egentligen som leder fram till ett missbruk? Och finns det sätt att motverka att någon fastnar i träsk av droger och alkohol? I djupa intervjuer med missbrukare och forskare utformar vetenskapsjournalisten Miki Agerberg missbrukets dynamik – och vad för eventuella lösningar det finns för människor och anhöriga som tvingas leva med det dagligen. Miki Agerberg är vetenskapsjournalist och författare. Under senare år har han inriktat sig på medicin, hälsa och psykologi och skrivit uppmärksammade böcker om depression, missbruk och beroende samt fetma och övervikt. Han är även aktiv som föreläsare inom dessa ämnen.

I Brotten som skakade Sverige del 4 skildras tio spektakulära och häpnadsväckande svenska brott, från 1940-talet fram till idag. Det handlar om konstkupper, kallblodiga mord, pyromaner eller hänsynslösa terrorister. Brott där verkligheten ofta överträffar dikten. Här berättas till exempel om Stureplansmorden och de fruktansvära händelserna vid sommarstugan i Arboga, om gryningspyromanen som gäckade polisen i Ystad och dramat på den västtyska ambassaden år 1975. Inget samhälle är förskonat från brott och brottslingar, skillnaden är bara typen av förbrytelser. Men visst är det så, att brott alltid utövar en inneboende och naturlig dragningskraft på oss. Vad driver de människor som går över gränsen och gör det förbjudna?

The feminist book they tried to ban in France‘A delightful book’ Roxane GayWomen, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.) But what if mistrusting men, disliking men – and yes, maybe even hating men – is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood? In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other – and themselves.

”Pedagogisk, lärd, snärtig och lättläst.” Klas Eklund Sverige har bland de högsta skatterna i världen. Skatterna finns med oss nästan vad vi än gör: På jobbet, i vår bostad, när vi handlar och när vi reser. Hur påverkar det ekonomin? Denna bok ger en lättillgänglig introduktion till skatter, grundad i den nationalekonomiska forskningen. Boken ger svar på frågor som: ▸ När kan sänkt skatt leda till ökade skatteintäkter? ▸ Betalade Astrid Lindgren verkligen 102 procent i marginalskatt? ▸ Hur kan skatterna bekämpa den globala uppvärmningen? ▸ Vilka argument finns för och emot enhetlig moms? ▸ Varför är kapitalskatter dubbelbeskattning? ▸ Varför är fastighetsskatten lika omtyckt av nationalekonomer som den är avskydd av villaägare? Denna upplaga är uppdaterad och innehåller ett nytt kapitel om skatt på pensioner. Jacob Lundberg är doktor i nationalekonomi och en av Sveriges ledande experter på skatter. ” Jacob Lundberg har skrivit den bästa och mest läsvärda stridsskriften för ett effektivt och liberalt skattesystem. Du behöver inte hålla med honom, men han tvingar dig att ifrågasätta, tänka efter och slipa rejält på argumenten om du skulle vilja förespråka något annat.” Klas Eklund, författare till Vår ekonomi ” Äntligen en bok som förklarar hela det svenska skattesystemet, skriven av en ekonom som är väl insatt i skatteteori och aktuell forskning – det är unikt och välkommet. Allt du behöver veta om skatter kan varmt rekommenderas till alla som är intresserade av skatter.” Åsa Hansson, docent i nationalekonomi och skatteforskare, Lunds universitet ” Jacob Lundberg har ett trevligt och intresseväckande sätt att skriva, vilket bidrar till läsbarheten. Även den som inte vet särskilt mycket om skatter och kanske (ännu) inte tycker att skattepolitik är särskilt spännande kommer att läsa boken med stor behållning och antagligen lägga ifrån sig boken med en ökad kunskap om och ett ökat intresse för skatter. ... Ja, det var den långa recensionen. Den korta lyder: ’Det är en riktigt bra bok, läs den!’” Katarina Nordblom, professor i nationalekonomi, Göteborgs universitet, i Ekonomisk debatt

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 'Powerful, vivid and affecting' DAVID NICHOLLS 'Urgent, necessary and courageous' ELIZABETH DAY 'Brilliantly unsettling' GUARDIAN 'Will make you think about trauma in a new light' EVENING STANDARD 'I understand – and sympathise with – the feeling you might have that you already know the Jeffrey Epstein story. But I am not here to tell you a story about Jeffrey Epstein, or even Ghislaine Maxwell. I am here to tell you the stories of ten women, many of whom have never spoken at length before, about the real impact of sexual trauma on their lives' In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces twenty years in prison for the role she played in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of four girls. The trial was meticulously covered by journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley, one of the only reporters allowed into the courtroom every day. The Lasting Harm is her account of that trial, a gripping true crime drama and a blistering critique of a criminal justice system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors, no matter the outcome. Giving voice to four women and their testimonies, and supplemented by exclusive interviews, The Lasting Harm brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.

The No1 Sunday Times BestsellerA Waterstones Best Politics Book 2024A Mail on Sunday ‘Best Holiday Read 2024’ ‘A searing exposé’ Glamour ‘A timely reminder of the dangers posed by men who crave power’ – Observer From New York Times bestseller Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven exposé of the real Kennedy Curse—the family's generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem—and the women who have paid the price for our obsession with Camelot. For decades, the Kennedy name has been synonymous with wealth, power, and—above all else—integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the Kennedy men's legacy of physical and psychological abuse of women, part of a tradition of toxic masculinity that spans generations and has ruined untold lives. Through scandal after scandal, the family and their defenders have managed to keep this shameful story out of the spotlight. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys' hidden history of abuse and exploitation, laying bare their rampant misogyny and restoring women to the center of the dynasty's story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Mary Richardson, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren't nearly as well known – but rightfully should be. Drawing on years of fierce reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled American family, showing how the Kennedy myth and their raw political power has enabled the clan's many predators while also silencing generations of traumatized women and girls. At long last, Callahan also redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves—and giving voice to the countless others who could not do the same.

I oktober 1995 går en utpekad mördare fri. Den tekniska bevisningen mot O.J. Simpson är överväldigande, men superstjärnans Dream Team av advokater lyckas ändå övertyga juryn i det som kommit att kallas ”århundradets rättegång”. Brotten som skakade världen, del 1, är en fängslande exposé över kriminella gärningar från 1800-talet till idag. Förutom fallet O.J. Simpson berättas här bland annat om seriemördaren Ted Bundy på 1970-talet, stölderna av Edward Munchs världsberömda målning Skriet både 1994 och 2004, spionanklagelserna mot Mata hari 1917 och mordet på Abraham Lincoln 1865. Historierna kan ses som kittlande inblickar i det mänskliga sinnet, som pusselbitar till varför samhällsutvecklingen blev som den blev eller rätt och slätt som spännande berättelser. Somliga av dem påminner om fantasieggande äventyr ur skönlitteraturen, andra blottlägger de allra mest extrema och fruktansvärda krafter som kan väckas till liv i en människas psyke.

Brought to you by Penguin. SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2019 The first and fascinating look into the mind of Jim Simons, the shy billionaire who revolutionized Wall Street Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods. After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance - to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data embraced by almost every industry today. As Renaissance became a major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency - he placed Steve Bannon in the campaign, funded Trump's victorious 2016 effort and backed alt-right publication Breitbart. Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign as he made significant investments in Cambridge Anatlytica. For all his prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would impact his firm and the world. In this fast-paced narrative, Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street, and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond finance.

The Man Who Solved the Market

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2014 CWA NON-FICTION DAGGER An instant New York Times bestseller, Life After Death is an agonizing first-hand account of an innocent man living on Death Row. It is destined to be an explosive classic of memoir. In 1993, teenagers Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. - who have come to be known as the West Memphis Three - were arrested for the murders of three eight-year-old boys in Arkansas. The ensuing trial was marked by tampered evidence, false testimony, and public hysteria. Baldwin and Misskelley were sentenced to life in prison, while eighteen-year-old Echols, deemed the 'ringleader,' was sentenced to death. Over the next two decades, the three men became known worldwide as a symbol of wrongful conviction and imprisonment, with thousands of supporters and many notable celebrities calling for a new trial. In a shocking turn of events, all three men were released in August 2011. Now Echols shares his story in full - from abuse by prison guards and wardens, to portraits of fellow inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience and perseverance that kept him alive and sane while incarcerated for nearly two decades.

Brought to you by Penguin. How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of human consciousness, written and read by Michael Pollan. When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people? Diving deep into this extraordinary world and putting himself forward as a guinea-pig, Michael Pollan has written and read a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinated by the implications of these drugs. 'His approach is steeped in honesty and self-awareness. His cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling' - Washington Post 'An easy-going humane generosity ... mischievous self-regard ... as if Henry David Thoreau had had an encounter with Woody Allen and never been quite the same since' - Simon Schama © Michael Pollen 2018 (P) Penguin Audio 2018

When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children? Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court. What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care? Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption? In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection – in both its social work and legal aspects – often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children. ‘A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn’t have to be this way so what can be done about it?’ Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. ‘Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.’ Louise Allen, Sunday Times bestselling author ‘This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children’s social worker and probation officer; it’s a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.’ Joanna Hughes, former children’s social worker and probation officer.

Natten mot lördagen den 26 april 1986 inträffar det som alla sagt var en omöjlighet. Reaktor fyra i kärnkraftverket Tjernobyl exploderar, sedan personalen stängt av flera säkerhetssystem för att kunna utföra ett test. Ett moln av radioaktiv rök sprids för vinden västerut över stora delar av Europa. Under helgen leker barnen utomhus, samtidigt som strålskadade akutvårdas på sovjetiska sjukhus. Men ingen varning utfärdas av myndigheterna, katastrofen hålls hemlig. Det dröjer flera dygn innan man ens tillkännager att något skett. Så småningom hålls en rättegång mot de ansvariga för olyckan. Men vem bär egentligen störst ansvar för att katastrofen kunde ske? Kraftverkets chefer eller det kommunistiska systemet? I fjärde delen av Brotten som skakade världen fortsätter Martin Borg sina djupdykningar genom kriminalhistorien och presenterar tio nya brott. Här möter vi till exempel den hänsynslöse Jeffrey Dahmer – seriemördare, kannibal och nekrofil. Vi får också historien om hur den colombianske knarkkungen Pablo Escobar byggde upp sitt imperium, liksom den hårresande berättelsen om österrikaren Josef Fritzls fruktansvärda förgripelser.

I augusti 2018 sköts 20-åriga Eric Torell med Downs syndrom ihjäl av polisen när han var ute med sitt leksaksvapen i centrala Stockholm. Sammanlagt lossade poliserna 25 skott. Drygt ett år senare friades poliserna från alla brottsmisstankar. Journalisten Gabriel Cardona Cervantes och polisen Rune Engström granskar händelsen som berörde hela Sverige. De kartlägger de många taktiska misstag som polisen gjorde före skottlossningen och lägger ihop det ansvarspussel som aldrig färdigställdes efter Erics död. Boken berättar också vem Eric var innan han blev känd som pojken med Downs syndrom . Den tecknar ett engagerande porträtt av Kungen av Vasastan , simguden och showmannen Eric. Rune Engström vittnar om en felaktig utbildningsmiljö och offensivt agerande med vapenfixering påverkad av amerikansk polis. Boken beskriver också polisens och Åklagarmyndighetens mörkning av polisiära dödsskjutningar, där i stort sett alla fall läggs ner och blir sekretessbelagda. Om Polismyndigheten hade varit bättre på att dra lärdom av sina brister hade många dödsskjutningar, som denna, kunnat undvikas.

Brottsplats Sörmland. 5, En odyssé av brott

En skrämmande tidsresa genom Sverige. I Brotten som skakade Sverige del 3 skildras tio uppmärksammade svenska brott från 1940- till 2010-tal, brott som alla har varit mycket omtalade. Här berättas till exempel om skotten vid Stureplan, helikopterrånet i Västberga, sommarstugemorden i Arboga och giftskandalen i Teckomatorp. Vem är det egentligen som begår allvarliga brott? Hur kommer det sig att människor genomför de mest våldsamma och omoraliska handlingar utan hänsyn till konsekvenserna? Detaljerna kring brotten är ofta fruktansvärda men miljöer och företeelser kring dem är vardagliga, vilket gör händelserna extra obehagliga.

Despite a strong belief in the institution and sacredness of marriage, studies show that Christian spouses experience divorce at least as much as the secular population. But whatever the reasons for a divorce--beyond the divorce itself--many Christians want to know: does the Bible support remarriage? The fact is that no consensus exists among evangelicals on their views of remarriage, leaving many Christians confused. This Counterpoints volume explores the biblical and practical cases for the three main evangelical views on remarriage after divorce: Remarriage is not acceptable after divorce - defended by Gordon J. WenhamRemarriage is acceptable only after adultery or desertion - defended by William A. HethRemarriage is acceptable for a variety of reasons - defended by Craig S. KeenerEach of the three contributors offers his point of view succinctly and with biblical support, and each interacts with the others to help readers come to their own conclusions. Further resources and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

For readers of How Democracies Die, two legal scholars expose the MAGA Republican strategy to roll back civil, political, and privacy rights and subvert American democracy—and prescribe a plan for beating the Christian nationalists at their own game. Time and again, when confronted with serious challenges to their power and privilege, white Christian nationalists seek solace—and satisfaction—in state-supported forms of vigilantism. This was true at the dawn of the American republic, when Northern abolitionists threatened the Southern slavocracy. It was also true in the aftermath of the Civil War, when emancipated Black Americans and their Northern allies sought to fulfill the promises of Reconstruction. And though this pattern was seemingly broken after the Civil Rights revolution of the 1950s and ’60s—and abandoned once and for all—legal vigilantism has made a surprising, roaring comeback in the months and years following the failed coup of January 6, 2021. Committed to never again losing power, let alone experiencing the humiliation that followed on the heels of the ham-fisted insurrection, overlapping networks of right-wing lawyers, politicians, plutocrats, and preachers have resurrected state-supported vigilantism. Vigilante Nation tells this story of the American Right marginalizing, subordinating, and disenfranchising the increasingly diverse and cosmopolitan members of the American polity. This book exposes the vigilantes’ plans, explains their methods—everything from book bans to anti-abortion bounties to attacks on government proceedings, including elections—and underscores the stakes. Now that supporters of democratic equality are numerous and dexterous enough to finally secure the broad promises of the civil rights revolution, the race is on for Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and the architects of Project 2025 to subvert our democracy before a countermovement can rise up to thwart their insidious plans.

People vs. Donald Trump is a fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former president Donald Trump, written by one of the lawyers who worked on the case and resigned in protest when Manhattan’s district attorney refused to act. Mark Pomerantz was a retired lawyer living a calm suburban life when he accepted an unexpected offer to join the staff of the district attorney of New York County in February 2021 to work on the investigation of former president Donald Trump. The Manhattan DA was interested in Pomerantz because he brought vast experience in litigating white collar and organized crime cases, having worked as a federal prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney for decades. Pomerantz had prosecuted and defended cases involving murder, drug trafficking, political corruption, tax evasion, and financial fraud. His clients had included governors and senators, business leaders, financial institutions, and also gangsters and murderers. Over the next year, Pomerantz investigated the world of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. He interviewed potential witnesses, scrutinized financial records, and learned everything he could about Trump’s business practices. The investigation led him to believe that the former president’s approach to business had much in common with the business practices of another well-known public figure—former mob boss John J. Gotti. Ultimately, Pomerantz gathered enough evidence to support the view—held by many of his colleagues on the case, including former Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.—that former president Donald Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why. Pomerantz’s work ultimately led to the indictment of the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud. But that indictment was merely the prelude to a larger criminal case that Pomerantz urged the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, to bring against Donald Trump. When the DA refused to authorize that prosecution, Pomerantz and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned. Aspects of the case Pomerantz wanted to bring are currently being pursued against Trump by the attorney general of New York State in a civil fraud case that does not involve criminal penalties. In People vs. Donald Trump, Pomerantz tells the story of his unprecedented investigation, why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted, and what we can learn about the nature of justice in America from this extraordinary case. Pomerantz draws from a lifetime of legal experience to tell a devastating and frequently entertaining story of how prosecutors think, how criminals act, and how our justice system works—and sometimes doesn’t work. Pomerantz has written a cautionary tale that illuminates the challenges of prosecuting Donald Trump, why Trump manages to dance between the raindrops of accountability, and how others might bring him to justice.

The New York Times Bestseller “A gripping journalistic procedural… Spotlight meets Erin Brockovich.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times “Julie K. Brown's important book offers not just a definitive account of the Epstein case, but a compelling window into her own experiences as a dogged reporter at a regional newspaper, facing off against powerful interests set against her reporting.” —Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and Kill Dauntless journalist Julie K. Brown recounts her uncompromising and risky investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation, and the explosive reporting for the Miami Herald that finally brought him to justice while exposing the powerful people and broken system that protected him. For many years, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's penchant for teenage girls was an open secret in the high society of Palm Beach, Florida and Upper East Side, Manhattan. Charged in 2008 with soliciting prostitution from minors, Epstein was treated with unheard of leniency, dictating the terms of his non-prosecution. The media virtually ignored the failures of the criminal justice system, and Epstein's friends and business partners brushed the allegations aside. But when in 2017 the U.S Attorney who approved Epstein's plea deal, Alexander Acosta, was chosen by President Trump as Labor Secretary, reporter Julie K. Brown was compelled to ask questions. Despite her editor's skepticism that she could add a new dimension to a known story, Brown determined that her goal would be to track down the victims themselves. Poring over thousands of redacted court documents, traveling across the country and chasing down information in difficulty and sometimes dangerous circumstances, Brown tracked down dozens of Epstein's victims, now young women struggling to reclaim their lives after the trauma and shame they had endured. Brown's resulting three-part series in the Miami Herald was one of the most explosive news stories of the decade, revealing how Epstein ran a global sex trafficking pyramid scheme with impunity for years, targeting vulnerable teens, often from fractured homes and then turning them into recruiters. The outrage led to Epstein's arrest, the disappearance and eventual arrest of his closest accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Acosta. The financier's mysterious suicide in a New York City jail cell prompted wild speculation about the secrets he took to the grave-and whether his death was intentional or the result of foul play. Tracking Epstein’s evolution from a college dropout to one of the most successful financiers in the country—whose associates included Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton—Perversion of Justice builds on Brown's original award-winning series, showing the power of truth, the value of local reportage and the tenacity of one woman in the face of the deep-seated corruption of powerful men.

Perversion of Justice

THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Could the courts really order the death of your innocent baby? Was there an illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because he had a pet cat? Are unelected judges truly enemies of the people? Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge – worse, we risk letting them make us complicit. Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds a defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy that is as entertaining as it is vital.

»Det är välskrivet med ett driv som delvis återskapar den inneboende spänning som är förknippad med spektakulära brottsskeenden. Brotten som skakade Sverige är ett mycket intressant och läsvärt utsnitt ur svensk kriminalhistoria.«Bibliotekstjänst En skrämmande tidsresa genom Sverige Vem är det egentligen som begår allvarliga brott? Hur kommer det sig att människor genomför de mest våldsamma och omoraliska handlingar utan hänsyn till konsekvenserna? I Brotten som skakade Sverige beskrivs femton uppmärksammade svenska brott från 1950 till 2010. Det handlar om förskingringar, mord, rån, stölder, utpressningar och bedrägerier. Brott som alla har varit mycket omskrivna och omtalade. Detaljerna kring dem är ofta fruktansvärda men miljöer och företeelser kring brotten är vardagliga, vilket gör dem extra obehagliga. Platser som Hurva, Malexander och Knutby har för alltid etsats sig fast i våra medvetanden. En försvunnen flicka som hittas mördad i en plastsäck får oss att känna avsky och samma känsla infinner sig när en ung man förgiftar dementa och hjälplösa åldringar. Varför? I Brotten som skakade Sverige försöker Martin Borg förklara de bakomliggande faktorerna samtidigt som han återger själva händelseförloppen där såväl brott som huvudpersoner sätts in i ett större sammanhang.

Strax före lunch, onsdagen den 7 januari 2015, tränger sig två beväpnade män in i satirtidningen Charlie Hebdos lokaler i Paris. Fyra minuter senare kommer de ut igen, efter att ha ställt till med ett fullständigt blodbad: elva ihjälskjutna och lika många skadade personer finns kvar i de sönderskjutna lokalerna. En vild jakt med massivt polispådrag tar vid, men dramat ska skörda fler offer innan det når sin upplösning. I Brotten som skakade världen, del 3 skildrar författaren Martin Borg tio kända fall ur kriminalhistorien. Här presenteras till exempel turerna kring fyraåriga Madeleine McCanns mystiska försvinnande 2007, en händelse som kom att fylla löpsedlar under flera år. Lyssnaren får också stifta bekantskap med det hänsynslösa kommendantparet i koncentrationslägret Buchenwald och följa med in på Dubrovkateatern i Moskva, där ett gisslandrama med fasansfull upplösning utspelade sig år 2002. Berättelser om brott handlar ofta om människor som visar sina sämsta sidor. Illgärningar lockas fram av egenskaper som vi nog alla har inom oss, men som i kombination med olyckliga omständigheter ger förödande konsekvenser. Icke desto mindre fascinerar ondskan oss, vare sig den kommer i små portioner eller som dödsbringande illdåd.

Brotten som skakade världen. Terrorattacken mot Charlie Hebdo och andra händelser vi minns

På eftermiddagen, fredagen den 22 juli 2011, detonerar en kraftig bilbomb på Grubbegata i Oslo. Polis och räddningspersonal skyndar till platsen, bara för att två timmar senare inse att de blivit lurade av en avledningsmanöver. Då har de första larmrapporterna kommit in om våldsam skottlossning på ön Utøya i Tyrifjorden, knappt tre mil nordväst om Oslo. I Brotten som skakade världen, del 2, fortsätter den fängslande skildringen av kriminella gärningar från 1800-talet till idag. Här berättas om några av 1900-talets värsta seriemördare som The Yorkshire Ripper, Henrí Landru och Peter Kürten, men också om rasismen bakom rättsskandalen kring Scottsboro Boys på 1930-talet, sprängdådet mot Pan Am flight 103 över Lockerbie 1988 samt stölden av Mona Lisa 1911. Historierna kan ses som kittlande inblickar i det mänskliga sinnet, som pusselbitar till varför samhällsutvecklingen blev som den blev eller rätt och slätt som spännande berättelser. Somliga av dem påminner om fantasieggande äventyr ur skönlitteraturen, andra blottlägger de allra mest extrema och fruktansvärda krafter som kan väckas till liv i en människas psyke.

The video of George Floyd's murder at the hands of police shines a light on the life-threatening issues with the U.S. criminal justice system. In "War On Us: How the War on Drugs and Myths About Addiction Have Created a War on All of Us", attorney and advocate Colleen Cowles uses personal and professional  experience to pull back the curtain to expose this failed system. War on Us shows how we've all become victims of this 'War', including those who've never tried an illegal drug.  From physicians persecuted for providing health care to their patients to parents grieving the loss of their children to overdose or prison -- we're all affected.. Our health, our families, our assets, our safety and our freedom are at risk - regardless of political party affiliation..  One in three adults in the U.S. now has a criminal record. Patients with severe illnesses or chronic pain are denied access to proven pain medications. Over a trillion in taxpayer dollars in the U.S. alone has 'bought' the highest drug use in the world, the highest overdose rates in the world, and the highest incarceration rates in the world,  In 'War on Us', Colleen goes further than concerns about police misconduct, addressing the law and the history that led to devastating results. The book describes the true impact of a 'War' brought about by racism, politics of both parties, economics and myths about addiction.  Most importantly, the book outlines specific ways to end this failed 'War' and details steps to replace it with compassionate, effective policy that protects the public as well as individual rights.  In WAR ON US, Colleen Cowles raises the alarm and offers practical, proven reforms. There are answers, if we have the will to implement change. It's time to end the War on Drugs - and the war on all of us. This book is the roadmap to do just that.
