Law as Punishment/Law as Regulation
ISBN: 9780804771702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law depends on various modes of classification. How an act or a person is classified may be crucial in determining the rights obtained, the procedures employed, and what understandings get attached to the act or person. Critiques of law often reveal how arbitrary its classificatory acts are, but no one doubts their power and consequence. This crucial new book considers the problem of law's physical control of persons and the ways in which this control illuminates competing visions of the law: as both a tool of regulation and an instrument of coercion or punishment. It examines various...

Imagining New Legalities: Privacy and Its Possibilities in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9780804777049 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Instead it considers several different conceptions of privacy and provides examples of legal inventiveness in confronting some contemporary challenges to the public/private distinction.
