States of Violence: War, Capital Punishment, and Letting Die
ISBN: 9780521876278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The book brings together scholarship on three different forms of state violence, examining each for what it can tell us about the conditions under which states use violence and the significance of violence to our understanding of states. The contributors to this book demonstrate that states of violence thus have a history and sociology. Yet wherever the state acts violently, the legitimacy of its acts must be engaged with the real facts of war, capital punishment, and the ugly realities of death. This book calls into question the legitimacy of state uses of violence and mounts a sustained...

Crossing Boundaries: Traditions and Transformations in Law and Society Research
ISBN: 9780810114395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Perhaps no idea is more emblematic of the field of law and society than crossing boundaries. From the founding of the Law and Society Association in the early 1960s, participating scholars aspired to create a field that crossed boundaries in at least two senses: by undertaking research that questioned and often bridged traditional methodological and disciplinary divisions, and by using nontraditional approaches to explore the interconnections between law and its social context. These essays reflect both aspirations.

Merciful Judgments and Contemporary Society
ISBN: 9781107008434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Merciful Judgments in Contemporary Society: Legal Problems/Legal Possibilities explores the tension between law's need for and dependence on merciful judgments and suspicions that regularly accompany them. Rather than focusing primarily on definitional questions or the longstanding debate about the moral worth and importance of mercy, this book focuses on mercy as a part of, and problem, for law. Whether one starts from a worry about rules and discretion, about the attitudes of citizens and their leaders, or ways to undo the past, merciful judgments challenge and perplex, just as they help to...

History, Memory, and the Law
ISBN: 9780472088997 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays in this book examine law as an active participant in the process through which history is written and memory is constructed. Instead of seeing law as a "victim" of history, the writers treat law as an author of history, not just in the instrumental sense in which law can be said to make a difference in society, but in the ways that law constructs and uses history.
Law looks to the past as it speaks to present needs. In the production of judicial opinions--supposedly definitive statements of what the law is--judges reconstruct law's past, tracing out lines of legal precedent that...

Recent controversies surrounding the war on terror and American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought rule of law rhetoric to a fevered pitch. While President Obama has repeatedly emphasized his Administration's commitment to transparency and the rule of law, nowhere has this resolve been so quickly and severely tested than with the issue of the possible prosecution of Bush Administration officials.

Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United States: Accomodation and Its Limits
ISBN: 9781107692442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is an enormous scholarly literature on law's treatment of religion. Most scholars now recognize that although the U.S. Supreme Court has not offered a consistent interpretation of what non-establishment or religious freedom means, as a general matter it can be said that the First Amendment requires that government not give preference to one religion over another or, although this is more controversial, to religion over non-belief. But these rules raise questions that will be addressed in Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United States: Namely, what practices constitute a...

Law, Violence, and the Possibility of Justice
ISBN: 9780691048451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law punishes violence, yet law depends on violence. In this book, a group of leading interdisciplinary legal scholars seeks to map the inexorable but unstable relationship of law to violence. What does it mean to talk about the violence of law? Do high incarceration rates and increased reliance on capital punishment indicate that U.S. law is growing more violent at a time when violence is being restrained in other legal systems? How is the violence of law represented in popular culture and does this affect law's actual legitimacy? Does violence express or distort the essence of law? Does...
