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?

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 del 1 skildras sju uppmärksammade svenska brott från 1950- till 1970-tal, brott som alla har varit mycket omtalade. Här berättas till exempel om Hurvamorden i Skåne, spionen Stig Wennerström, Husebyskandalen och Norrmalmstorgsdramat 1973.

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.

Till mitt försvar är berättelsen om hur Sargon De Basso, trots bottenbetyg på juristlinjen och ett åtal som kunde ge honom fängelse, nådde toppen och blev en av landets mest kontroversiella försvarsadvokater.

Vi får följa några av vår tids mest uppmärksammade rättegångar och ta del av kampen för rättvisa i såväl domstolar som i den kriminalpolitiska debatten.

Peter Althin var under flera år även politiskt aktiv som KD:s talesperson i kriminalpolitiska frågor. Vad var det som fick honom att träda in på den politiska arenan och som senare fick honom att lämna samma arena?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

”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 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.

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.

De senaste åren har Sverige sett en stor ökning anmälda sexualbrott, där främst män står anklagade. Men vad händer när dessa fall går till rättegång och det inte finns några bevis utöver anklagandet självt? Hur avgör man vad som är bortom rimligt tvivel när ord står mot ord? Thérèse Juel blev engagerad i frågan när en vän till henne dömdes för ett sexualbrott. I den här boken granskar hon tio rättsfall från verkliga livet där utgången blivit fällande dom och höga skadestånd. I varje enskilt fall upptäcker hon brister och tveksamheter som domstolarna helt verkar ha förbisett. Utan att ta ställning till skuld verkar frågorna vara betydligt fler än svaren. Är det svenska rättssystemet verkligen så säkert som vi vill tro? Thérèse Juel, född 1950, är en svensk frilansjournalist, radiopratare och juridisk utredare. Hon har skrivit flera böcker om rättssäkerheten i Sveriges domstolar.

Fällda för sexövergrepp : om rättsfall i Sverige

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.

A riveting account of one death row inmate’s quest to die—and a fearless look at how America’s system of punishment has failed the public it claims to serve. When Scott Dozier was sent to Nevada’s death row in 2007, convicted of a pair of grisly murders, he didn’t cry foul or embark upon a protracted innocence campaign. He sought instead to expedite his execution—to hasten his inevitable death. He decided he would rather face his end swiftly than die slowly in solitary confinement. In volunteering for execution, Dozier may have been unusual. But in the tortuous events that led his death date to be scheduled and rescheduled, planned and then stayed, his time on death row was anything but. In The Volunteer, Emmy award–winning investigative reporter Gianna Toboni traces the twists and turns of Dozier’s story, along the way offering a hard look at the history and controversy that surround the death penalty today. Toboni reveals it to be a system rife with black market dealings and supply chain labyrinths, with disputed drugs and botched executions. Today’s death penalty, generally carried out through lethal injection, has proven so cumbersome, ineffective, and potentially harrowing that some states have considered a return to the electric chairs and firing squads of the past, believing those approaches to be not only more effective but more humane. No matter where you stand on the morality of capital punishment, there’s no denying that the death penalty is failing the American public. With costs running into the billions and countless lives kept in limbo, it has proven incapable of achieving its desired end: executing the inmates that fellow Americans have deemed guilty of the most heinous crimes. With The Volunteer, Toboni offers an insightful and profound look at how the death penalty went so terribly wrong. A spellbinding story down to its shocking conclusion, it brings to light the horrifying realities of state-sanctioned killings—realities that many would prefer to ignore.

'The Rule of Law' is a phrase much used but little examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states and civilisations has recently become even more talismanic than that of democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant audiobook, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible government, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism. The audiobook will be influential in many different fields and will be key for anyone interested in politics, society and the state of our world.

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

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

»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.

I augusti 2010 drog Finansinspektionen in tillståndet för HQ Bank och Sveriges genom tiderna mest uppmärksammade bankkrasch var ett faktum. Två månader tidigare hade banken avvecklat sin tradingportfölj, med en förlust på över 1,2 miljarder kronor. Bankens ägare, med Mats Qviberg i spetsen, beskylldes för att ha mörkat bankens dåliga affärer och svindlat aktieägarna. Journalisten Jenny Hedelin kände tidigt att det var något skevt med hur bankkraschen skildrades i medierna och hur Finansinspektionen uppträdde. Nu, sex år senare, kan hon tillsammans med den norske affärsmannen Christen Ager-Hanssen avslöja hur myndigheter och medier genom sitt agerande skadade oskyldiga, medan aktörer som förorsakade bankens förluster går fria. Författarna har haft tillgång till interna mail, lusläst bankens dokument och grävt fram bortsorterat förundersökningsmaterial. Samtidigt har de använt sig av okonventionella metoder som att arbeta under täckmantel och göra hemliga inspelningar. HQGATE är en berättelse om inkompetens, myndighetsmissbruk och mygel på samhällets högsta nivå. Den brutala, osminkade sanningen om människor, opportunism, populism och personliga tragedier där nära vänner sviker när det stormar som värst. Jenny Hedelin är journalist på Dagens Industri. Christen Ager-Hanssen är en norsk affärsman. Han har haft ansvaret för Mats Qvibergs försvarsstrategi i HQ:s brottmål och det kommande civilmålet där HQ AB stämt Mats Qviberg med flera på närmare fem miljarder kronor.

Brottsplats Sörmland är en true crime-serie om historiska brott i Sörmland. Den är baserad på en radioföljetong från Radio Sörmland, där författaren själv figurerat som utredare i många av brotten som diskuteras. Första boken tog avstamp i mitten av artonhundratalet och nu, i bok nummer fem, har författaren Börje R P Carlsson nått moderna brott. Rån, barnamord och fall med Clark Olofson är bara några av de brottshistorier som här återberättas. Det är makabra berättelser som berättas utifrån en polismans blick. Till skillnad från de tidigare böckerna sker en del av brotten i denna bok utanför Sörmland. Dokumentärt ingående teckning över Sörmlands brottshistoria från 1844 och framåt. Börje Roland Palle Carlsson är en svensk författare och pensionerad polis. Börje jobbade inom polisen mellan 1963 och 2009 och hans upplevelser från karriären inom det polisiära inspirerade honom att börja skriva.

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.

The Kenya Chamber of Mines (KCM) is a membership organisation formed to represent the interests of Kenya's miners, exploration companies, mineral traders, suppliers and professionals in the mining industry. They represent and promote the interest and competitiveness of the mining industry through advocacy, and contribute to the improvement of the business environment. The report shows how the Business Advocacy Fund made a point of attempting to assess the impact made by Mining & regulatory reform. The report reviews the cases where the KCM was seeking new legislation or was aiming to amend or avert proposals made by the government to reform legislation. KCM pushed for a new Mining Act and then worked hard to secure considerable amendments to the Government's proposals.

In today's dynamic and interconnected world, the issue of unemployment looms large, impacting individuals, communities, and entire nations. As societies grapple with economic fluctuations, technological advancements, and global market forces, understanding the complexities of unemployment becomes imperative. This book delves into the multifaceted nature of unemployment, aiming to uncover its causes, explore its far-reaching consequences, and propose viable solutions to mitigate its effects. Unemployment, at its core, refers to a state in which individuals who are willing and able to work are unable to secure employment opportunities. However, this seemingly straightforward definition belies the intricate interplay of factors that contribute to the phenomenon. From structural shifts in industries to cyclical fluctuations in economic activity, the causes of unemployment are varied and nuanced. Why is it crucial to dissect the issue of unemployment? Beyond its economic implications, unemployment carries profound social, psychological, and political ramifications. High levels of unemployment can lead to social unrest, exacerbate inequality, and strain public resources. Moreover, the personal toll of unemployment on individuals and families cannot be overstated, as it often results in financial hardship, diminished well-being, and a sense of alienation.

Four years ago, I set out to write a book that memorialized the change from non-unanimous juries back to jury unanimity in Louisiana. The ending was going to celebrate the death of Jim Crow juries. Before the ink could dry on that project, there were signs of Jim Crow lurking still. This time, it was not non-unanimous juries. It was the jury of twelve that we sought, but it was not the jury box that we imagined. Now, the twelve jurors, more often than not, were all white. People of color still−even after the death of non-unanimous juries−were not experiencing the unique power that the jury box could grant them. Accused people still weren’t experiencing the full protections of the Sixth Amendment. To do justice to the topic of Jim Crow juries or jury suppression, the discussion must long predate non-unanimous juries. In fact, it can’t begin with juries at all. By necessity, the beginning has to be at the beginning−at the point law and race were joined to create diminished procedural safeguards for those of color, as well as different rights and different restrictions. To be credible, conversations about race and juries must always be anchored to this history. This book does that work and, in doing so, establishes the jury as a specific site of systemic racism both for the accused person of color and for the juror or prospective juror of color. After, it assesses the impact of years of systemic inequities within the legal system. The book illuminates a legal system that operates much like an assembly line. It moves fast, is solely interested in profits and production , is automated and impersonal. Specifically, this book seeks to: (1) aid the reader in viewing Louisiana’s unanimous jury campaign in its racial and historical context; (2) examine the historical connection between Black juror suppression and how it is bound up in the creation and perpetuation of race and supremacy; (3) situate the jury at the center of a carceral state polluted with bias, supremacy and racism, as well as an urge to respond punitively to the most basic of human transgressions; (4) help readers achieve a holistic and comprehensive view of Louisiana’s legal system and the competing factors and interests that have shaped it and led to it becoming harmful to most who come in contact with it; and, (5) to awaken a desire for transformation.

THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT HAS NO BOUNDARIES. A new business model, product or technological service emerges all the time. Along with the facilitation and solutions brought by technological development, new problems, conflicts and litigation in social and economic relations also arise. Laws of several countries are not often able to keep up with the digital dynamism. Furthermore, there is not a consensus in international trade organisations on the concept of digital services and electronic commerce. That is the scenario in which the European Union has constantly developed rules to regulate the digital environment, ensuring and combining legal security and standardisation of rules with the practical advantages of these new social and trade relations, stimulating innovation and economic growth. While the WTO and the OECD have not reached a consensus on this matter, the EU has been influencing rules around the world and adding chapters on electronic commerce to its deep integration trade agreements with third countries. The book analyses EU regulations regarding the online environment such as personal data protection, electronic commerce, electronic contract, electronic signature and identification, advertising, digital services, consumer rights, and taxation. It addresses several decisions made by the Court of Justice and national courts of the EU. The influence of the EU in Mercosur is demonstrated through the analysis of laws and jurisprudence of Mercosur countries.

In 'The Theory of Business Enterprise' by Thorstein Veblen, the author explores the dynamics of business organizations and their impact on society. Veblen challenges the conventional economic theories of his time by highlighting how business enterprises prioritize profit-seeking behavior over the well-being of society. Written in a satirical and critical tone, Veblen delves into the concept of 'conspicuous consumption' and the role of advertising in shaping consumer behavior. This work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, blending economics, sociology, and political theory to provide a comprehensive analysis of modern business practices. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent American economist and sociologist, was known for his unconventional views on capitalism and the interplay between economics and culture. His experiences studying industrial capitalism and the emergence of corporate power likely influenced the writing of 'The Theory of Business Enterprise.' Veblen's insightful critiques of the capitalist system continue to resonate with readers today. For readers interested in exploring the intersection of business, economics, and society, 'The Theory of Business Enterprise' offers a thought-provoking and insightful analysis that challenges traditional economic perspectives. Veblen's pioneering work remains relevant for understanding the complexities of modern capitalism and the societal implications of business practices.

A muchos pacientes se les niega el acceso a los servicios de salud y a los medicamentos en América Latina, por lo que los jueces tienen que intervenir. Esta tendencia de judicialización se ha acelerado durante la última década. En un sentido similar, la literatura existente sobre la justiciabilidad y judicialización del derecho a la salud se ocupa de la cuestión de si los jueces deben intervenir o no en la protección del derecho a la salud. Objetivo: Evaluar los desafíos derivados del litigio del Derecho a la Salud en Colombia, Argentina, Brasil y México. Metodología: Marco analítico y metodológico cualitativo, descriptivo y comparativo. Incluye una revisión bibliográfica y 37 entrevistas semiestructuradas a jueces, académicos y funcionarios gubernamentales. Además, se realizó un análisis jurisprudencial de la jurisprudencia más reciente en los 4 países mediante análisis de contenido. Resultados: En los cuatro países estudiados persiste un enfoque moderado orientado a las repercusiones en el litigio y, preocupado por las consecuencias del proceso de judicialización. Esto supone, en primer lugar, la incorporación de algunos límites y condiciones en el reconocimiento del derecho a la salud por parte de los Tribunales y, en segundo lugar, en términos generales, que las sentencias no están teniendo en cuenta las causas estructurales que afectan a la litigiosidad. Conclusiones: Los tribunales deberían avanzar hacia un equilibrio intencional en el reconocimiento, los remedios, la supervisión y la evaluación de las sentencias. Esto implica ser más reflexivos y estratégicos que reactivos y pasivos. En otras palabras, cuanto más inmaduro sea el sistema sanitario y más causas estructurales se perciban, más reflexivos y estratégicos deberían ser los Tribunales y más se debería promover el reconocimiento, la protección, la supervisión y la evaluación. Los Estados también deben adoptar medidas contundentes contra las causas estructurales y deben hacer operativo un enfoque de la salud más práctico y basado en los derechos, de manera tangible.
