Summary

Coerced Testimony Risks explores the troubling issue of forced confessions and witness statements within the American criminal justice system. It examines how psychological coercion during police interrogation can lead to false confessions, undermining due process and potentially resulting in wrongful convictions. The book reveals that even seemingly voluntary confessions can be unreliable due to sophisticated interrogation techniques and power imbalances.

 
The book delves into the legal precedents, like Miranda v. Arizona, that shape safeguards against self-incrimination, while also highlighting how "third degree" interrogation methods have evolved into modern psychological manipulation. By analyzing real-world case studies and trial transcripts, the book identifies patterns and warning signs of coerced testimony. It also discusses how implicit biases within the system can exacerbate the risk of obtaining coerced statements, despite existing legal protections.

 
Ultimately, Coerced Testimony Risks argues for a more comprehensive understanding of the psychological and legal factors that contribute to coercion. It progresses by first defining coercion and its forms, then analyzing case studies and psychological tactics, and finally, assessing legal standards. The book offers policy recommendations aimed at mitigating the risk of coerced testimony and ensuring fairer trials, making it a valuable resource for legal professionals, criminal justice reformers, and anyone concerned about the integrity of the justice system.

    The story of resistance fighters during the Nazi occupation of Europe is one of extraordinary courage and sacrifice. While the grand battles of World War II are well-documented, the covert operations of ordinary individuals working against overwhelming odds often remain in the shadows. These resistance movements, comprised of men, women, and even children, were vital in undermining the Nazi regime and aiding the Allied forces.  
  
The resistance took many forms—sabotaging infrastructure, gathering intelligence, publishing underground newspapers, smuggling refugees to safety, and engaging in armed uprisings. From the dense forests of Poland to the urban streets of France, these efforts were not limited to soldiers but included citizens who refused to stand idly by in the face of tyranny. Their acts of defiance were not only dangerous but also deeply personal, driven by a profound belief in freedom and justice.  
  
This book seeks to illuminate the diverse and compelling stories of these underground movements. The French Resistance, with its network of Maquis fighters, was instrumental in coordinating Allied operations before D-Day. The Polish Underground Army orchestrated one of the most significant uprisings against Nazi occupation, showcasing unmatched determination. Similarly, in the Netherlands, resistance fighters risked their lives to hide Jewish families and sabotage German supply lines.

    The Constitutional Bind - How...

    An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. 
Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of American politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in American political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted American life. 
In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. 
Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.

    The Knotsman does not exist, you will not find him in history books or collections of 'bygone' skills. But Math Jones has created him, and his fellows, in a time very like the English Civil War. There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.
