Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a killer emerge? Could it be genetics or are we shaped by our environments from childhood onwards? Lurking in the recesses of the mind is a dark cruelty, cupped in the hands of pleasure and nurtured by the need for power. Does this exist within us all and if so, how do some control it and others allow it to consume them? The detached coldness of a clinic waiting room, the deafening silence that illuminated your vulnerability. Who’d have thought from such desperation, friendships would flourish. Starting with a simple hello, a group friendship was forged that would grow from within adolescence into adulthood. With the strains of trauma beginning to show, the group becomes aware that the normality expected in the society around them is a far cry from how this group functions and the cracks begin to appear. With torture, murder, control and grief only a stone’s throw away, where will the darkness take this troubled group of individuals?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cremorne Gardens was an actual, notorious 19th-century pleasure ground along the banks of the Thames, in London. The sexual high jinks that happened there so outraged its prurient neighbors, that eventually the Gardens was destroyed. Here, however, stories from the infamous Cremorne Gardens live on. Miss Caroline Redfield of Cremorne Gardens is drawn into an art fraud in an attempt to help her lover. Though she has never investigated a crime before, she has considerable resources to apply to the task — such as her sumptuous hourglass figure, her flashing eyes, and, above all, her willingness to bend over backwards to uncover the truth.

Book Synopsis Sex Crimes in the Fifties by : Lisa Featherstone
Download or read book Sex Crimes in the Fifties written by Lisa Featherstone and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013-2017) has given national consciousness to the problematic treatment of sexual offences in Australia’s past. Yet there has been little historical research into the policing, prosecution and punishment of those crimes. This book examines Australia’s treatment of sexual crimes in the 1950s, a decade well known for its political and social conservatism, its prudish views on morality, and its prescriptive gender roles for men and women. Fewer would know that this same decade saw soaring arrests, mounting criminal prosecutions, and intensifying public debates about how to deal with sexual offenders. Or that sexual offences on children attracted the most concentrated state attention and public concern. Sex Crimes in the Fifties uncovers this new history by drawing on transcripts of hundreds of criminal proceedings and extensive research in criminal justice archives. We examine the criminal trial itself, exploring how prosecutors, defence counsel, witnesses, juries and judges understood sexual crimes. We consider the experience of women testifying in rape trials, the prosecution of sexual crimes against children, the court’s treatment of recent immigrants, the prosecution and punishment of homosexual men, the influence of psychiatric evidence, and the increasing public debates over the ‘sex offender’. We show that the 1950s was indeed foundational to many of our contemporary beliefs about sexual crimes. This book makes a major contribution to our historical and socio-legal knowledge about sexual offences and criminal prosecution. It will be of interest to historians, criminologists, sociologists, and legal scholars as well as general readers interested in the treatment of these crimes in our past.

Book Synopsis The Death Penalty and Sex Murder in Canadian History by : Carolyn Strange
Download or read book The Death Penalty and Sex Murder in Canadian History written by Carolyn Strange and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Confederation to the partial abolition of the death penalty a century later, defendants convicted of sexually motivated killings and sexually violent homicides in Canada were more likely than any other condemned criminals to be executed for their crimes. Despite the emergence of psychiatric expertise in criminal trials, moral disgust and anger proved more potent in courtrooms, the public mind, and the hearts of the bureaucrats and politicians responsible for determining the outcome of capital cases. Wherever death has been set as the ultimate criminal penalty, the poor, minority groups, and stigmatized peoples have been more likely to be accused, convicted, and executed. Although the vast majority of convicted sex killers were white, Canada’s racist notions of "the Indian mind" meant that Indigenous defendants faced the presumption of guilt. Black defendants were also subjected to discriminatory treatment, including near lynchings. In debates about capital punishment, abolitionists expressed concern that prejudices and poverty created the prospect of wrongful convictions. Unique in the ways it reveals the emotional drivers of capital punishment in delivering inequitable outcomes, The Death Penalty and Sex Murder in Canadian History provides a thorough overview of sex murder and the death penalty in Canada. It serves as an essential history and a richly documented cautionary tale for the present.
Book Synopsis The Racialization of the Occult in Nineteenth Century British Literature by : John Bliss
Download or read book The Racialization of the Occult in Nineteenth Century British Literature written by John Bliss and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the representation of the practitioner of the occult in mid to late nineteenth-century British literature. The occult was a source of emotional support and scientific curiosity during this time of change and uncertainty because it seemed to offer answers to both spiritual and scientific questions through measurable, albeit unconventional, means. However, the occult was also viewed as a threat to British society, an assault on it values, and a fundamental danger to emerging scientific enterprise. By examining the ways in which the occult and its practitioners are represented in British novels from 1850-1900, this book traces the ways that the novels commented on, participated in, and contributed to the racialization of the occult that occurred throughout the nineteenth century in Britain. The representations of the occult characters in these novels interpreted and transmitted the social, political, economic, and scientific discourses about race in the nineteenth century to the reading public, as well as participating in the discourse surrounding race and the occult.

Download or read book Wynfield's War written by M. J. Neary and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK TWO OF THE WYNFIELD SERIES From the chaos of an extensive slum known as Bermondsey, Wynfield finds himself in the Crimea where he experiences a military campaign that makes Bermondsey look orderly. The spring of 1854 was filled with violence, deceit, and bereavement, and marked the end of Wynfield's reign as the king of the Bermondsey slums. His memory shattered and his perception of reality distorted, he falls under the influence of an unlikely patron-the ruthless Lord Lucan. Known to his Irish tenants as "the exterminator," Lucan plans to mold his ward into a brainwashed ally for his upcoming Crimean campaign. While in the company of some frightfully incompetent and arrogant generals, Wynfield travels to the Crimea as a junior officer in the British cavalry. There he catches a glimpse of the personal war between Lords Lucan and Cardigan, which results in the blunder known as the Charge of the Light Brigade, and discovers the darker side of the saintly Florence Nightingale. Short-lived alliances with comrades who would never make it home to England, and haphazard sexual encounters with women he would never see again, challenge Wynfield's innate sense of loyalty. Having seen so many heroes trampled and so many cowards exalted, Wynfield must choose sides and, in so doing, shape the course of the rest of his life.
Book Synopsis Criminal Law in Liberal and Fascist Italy by : Paul Garfinkel
Download or read book Criminal Law in Liberal and Fascist Italy written by Paul Garfinkel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 907 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By extending the chronological parameters of existing scholarship, and by focusing on legal experts' overriding and enduring concern with 'dangerous' forms of common crime, this study offers a major reinterpretation of criminal-law reform and legal culture in Italy from the Liberal (1861–1922) to the Fascist era (1922–43). Garfinkel argues that scholars have long overstated the influence of positivist criminology on Italian legal culture and that the kingdom's penal-reform movement was driven not by the radical criminological theories of Cesare Lombroso, but instead by a growing body of statistics and legal researches that related rising rates of crime to the instability of the Italian state. Drawing on a vast array of archival, legal and official sources, the author explains the sustained and wide-ranging interest in penal-law reform that defined this era in Italian legal history while analyzing the philosophical underpinnings of that reform and its relationship to contemporary penal-reform movements abroad.
Book Synopsis Canadian State Trials, Volume V by : Barry Wright
Download or read book Canadian State Trials, Volume V written by Barry Wright and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth and final volume of the Canadian State Trials series examines political trials and national security measures during the period of 1939 to 1990. Essays by historians and legal scholars shed light on experiences during the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, including uses of the War Measures Act and the Official Secrets Act with the unfolding of the Cold War and legal responses to the FLQ (including the October Crisis), labour strikes, and Indigenous resistance and standoffs. The volume critically examines the historical and social context of the trials and measures resulting from these events, concluding the first comprehensive series on this important area of Canadian law and politics. The fifth volume’s exploration of state responses to real and perceived security threats is particularly timely as Canada faces new challenges to the established order ranging from Indigenous nations demanding a new constitutional framework to protestors challenging discriminatory policing and contesting public health measures.

Book Synopsis Essays in the History of Canadian Law by : G. Blaine Baker
Download or read book Essays in the History of Canadian Law written by G. Blaine Baker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume deal with the legal history of the Province of Quebec, Upper and Lower Canada, and the Province of Canada between the British conquest of 1759 and confederation of the British North America colonies in 1867. The backbone of the modern Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, this geographic area was unified politically for more than half of the period under consideration. As such, four of the papers are set in the geographic cradle of modern Quebec, four treat nineteenth-century Ontario, and the remaining four deal with the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes watershed as a whole. The authors come from disciplines as diverse as history, socio-legal studies, women's studies, and law. The majority make substantial use of second-language sources in their essays, which shade into intellectual history, social and family history, regulatory history, and political history.
Book Synopsis A History of Law in Canada, Volume Two by : Jim Phillips
Download or read book A History of Law in Canada, Volume Two written by Jim Phillips and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of three volumes in an important collection that recounts the sweeping history of law in Canada. The period covered in this volume witnessed both continuity and change in the relationships among law, society, Indigenous peoples, and white settlers. The authors explore how law was as important to the building of a new urban industrial nation as it had been to the establishment of colonies of agricultural settlement and resource exploitation. The book addresses the most important developments in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, including legal pluralism and the co-existence of European and Indigenous law. It pays particular attention to the Métis and the Red River Resistance, the Indian Act, and the origins and expansion of residential schools in Canada. The book is divided into four parts: the law and legal institutions; Indigenous peoples and Dominion law; capital, labour, and criminal justice; and those less favoured by the law. A History of Law in Canada examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term.
