Tried and Convicted: How Police, Prosecutors, and Judges Destroy Our Constitutional Rights
ISBN: 9781442217171 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When an individual is accused of a crime he is provided, at least in theory, with numerous constitutional rights throughout the legal process. These constitutional rights, however, are soft and flexible, and are subject to a tremendous amount of manipulation by police, prosecutors, and judges. The result is that these government agents are easily able to bypass, and in fact destroy, our constitutional protections. This abuse of our fundamental rights is extremely dangerous. Far from being mere technicalities, constitutional rights benefit all citizens, not just the factually guilty, in ways...

This book provides an original legal analysis of child soldiers recruited into armed groups or forces committing mass atrocities and/or genocide as the victims of the genocidal forcible transfer of children.

The global resurgence of religion in the latter part of the twentieth century contradicts the supposed inevitability of the secularization process. Modernization was meant to spell the decline of religion. Instead, as distinguished sociologist of religion, Peter Berger, noted recently, 'secularization theory has been falsifieda The world today is massively religious and it is anything but the secularized world that had been predicted by many analysts of modernity.' The major world religions, particularly in their conservative, orthodox or traditionalist forms-as well as multifarious new...

Gun violence on a massive scale has become a plague in our society, yet politicians seem more afraid of having a serious conversation about guns than they are of the next horrific shooting. Any attempt to change the status quo, whether to strengthen gun regulations or weaken them, is sure to degenerate into a hysteria that changes nothing. Our attitudes toward guns are utterly polarized, leaving basic questions unasked: How can we reconcile the individual right to own and use firearms with the right to be safe from gun violence? Is keeping...
