Описание: The secret life of a Michigan couple unraveled when police discovered they'd committed 2 horrific murders When Carol Giles's friend Nancy Billiter was found dead-she had been bound, sexually violated, and injected with a lethal dose of battery acid and heroin-detectives in Michigan traced Billiter's death back to Giles and her boyfriend, Tim Collier. Police also learned that the diabolical duo shared another secret: They had murdered Giles's husband, Jessie. Jessie, who had died months before Billiter, was disinterred, and an autopsy proved he'd been given a lethal shot of heroin instead of his prescribed insulin. Homebound and diabetic, Jessie was a heroin dealer. Police determined that Giles-who was fed up with taking care of her husband and children-along with her lover, Collier, had stolen the fatal dose from Jessie's own drug supply. The cops surmised that Billiter's death might have been due to her knowledge of the couple's plot. In their dramatic trial, Giles and Collier turned against each other, but both were eventually convicted of murder.

Автор: Efrat Asif Название: Governing Guns, Preventing Plunder: International Cooperation Against Illicit Trade ISBN: 0199760306 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199760305 Издательство: Oxford Academ Цена: 74970.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: From human trafficking to the smuggling of small arms to the looting of antiquities, illicit trade poses significant threats to international order. So why is it so difficult to establish international cooperation against illicit trade? Governing Guns, Preventing Plunder offers a novel, thought-provoking answer to this crucial question. Conventional wisdom holds that criminal groups are the biggest obstacle to efforts to suppress illicit trade. Contrarily, Asif Efrat explains how legitimate actors, such as museums that acquire looted antiquities, seek to hinder these regulatory efforts. Yet such attempts to evade regulation fuel international political conflicts between governments demanding action against illicit trade and others that are reluctant to cooperate. The book offers a framework for understanding the domestic origins of these conflicts and how the distribution of power shapes their outcome. Through this framework, Efrat explains why the interests of governments vary across countries, trades, and time. In a fascinating empirical analysis, he solves a variety of puzzles: Why is the international regulation of small arms much weaker than international drug control? What led the United States and Britain to oppose the efforts against the plunder of antiquities, and why did they ultimately join these efforts? How did American pressure motivate Israel to tackle sex trafficking? Efrat's findings will change the way we think about illicit trade, offering valuable insights to scholars, activists, and policymakers.

The environment has not always been protected by law. It was not until the middle of the 20th century that 'the environment' came to be understood as an entity in need of special care, and the law-politics duo firmly fixed its focus on this issue.
In this book Wickham and Goodie tell the story of how law and politics first came upon the environment as an object in need of special attention. They outline the unlikely intersection of aesthetics and science that made 'the environment' into the matter of great concern it is today. The book describes the way private common-law strategies and public-law legislative strategies have approached the task of protecting the environment, and explore the greatest environmental challenge to have so far confronted environmental law and politics; the threat of global climate change. The book offers descriptions of many of the strategies being deployed to meet this challenge and present some troubling assessments of them.
The book will be of great interest to students, teachers, and researchers of environmental law, socio-legal studies, environmental studies, and political theory.
