Synopsis

Plea Bargain Mechanics offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of plea bargains within the criminal justice system. It argues that plea bargaining, despite its criticisms, is a crucial mechanism for the functioning of contemporary criminal courts. Without it, the system would likely be overwhelmed, potentially harming the rights of both defendants and victims. 

 
The book examines the structure of plea deals, detailing the types of agreements such as charge and sentence bargains, and the legal constraints that govern them. It analyzes the motivations behind plea bargaining, looking at incentives for defendants, prosecutors, and judges. Did you know that plea bargaining emerged as a pragmatic solution to alleviate pressures from rising crime rates and complex legal procedures?

 
Also, the book uses statistical data on plea agreement rates and sentencing outcomes to provide a quantitative analysis of this phenomenon. The book progresses from introducing the history and legal basis of plea bargaining to examining negotiation strategies, factors influencing plea deals, and their impact on sentencing disparities. It concludes by exploring potential reforms to enhance transparency and equity. It delves into the political science and true crime aspects of plea bargains, balancing legal analysis with empirical research and practical insights.

Moving beyond Islamist Extremism...

William Allchorn

Traditionally, far-right terrorism has been the black swan of terrorism studies—receiving less attention than Jihadi extremism. In this book, William Allchorn takes a deep dive into multiple geographical locales and the online space of far-right movements, uncovering the crisis narratives that are animating violent far-right extremist milieus and presenting solutions on what we can do to stop them. Using eight country case studies and the results of an online pilot project, this is the first book-length presentation and discussion of counter techniques to far-right narratives—exploring their effectiveness, the ethics of such techniques, and their ability to disrupt pathways from radicalism towards violent extremism. Coming at a time of a renewed global wave of far-right violence, this book is of use to scholars as well as practitioners in the fields of far-right studies, terrorism studies, and strategic communications.

Don't Judge A Prince By His...

Lisa Oliver

The only goal Prince Syrius Fortune of Rosenhip had during his twin sister's "meet the suitors" ball, was to stay quiet and out of the way. His sister's event had been in the planning for five years, and he and his loving father had already agreed trying to seek a wedding contract for himself was not a good idea. Prince Syrius had quirks, and it wasn't as though he needed to open himself up to ridicule from someone else, especially a spouse he would have to get to know. The event was only a week, and being a lot smaller than his older brothers, Syrius was used to not being seen. Until someone saw him.
King Mintyn of Marinkaw had been a soldier since he was fifteen years old. He was not impressed to find out the one time of the year he was supposed to be meeting King Fortune to sign their Golden Straits agreement was apparently the one time his friend decided to have a huge event going on.
However, his aide told him he had been invited, and it was only one ball. Mintyn could enjoy some good food, network a while, and then leave the following morning once the treaty was signed. That was until he saw a young vision being hassled by an entitled duke. On learning the vision being hassled was his friend's youngest son, Mintyn decided to intervene. It was a nice thing to do. One shortened dance later as Prince Syrius walked away from him after he put his foot in his mouth, Mintyn told his aide to rejiggle his schedule. He had a spouse to woo.
This is one of those light stories that my muse weaves sometimes simply to make people smile. There are no deep and meaningful plot lines, just a bit fun between two men who look so unsuited for each other on the surface of things, but their pairing proves opposites do attract and stay together. It is in the same universe as the Infidelity Clause but is totally standalone. Watch for cameo appearances by a cupcake eating dragon, an episode of prince throwing, and potato cuffs.

The secret war in Ukraine

Jacques Baud

What forces are operating in the shadows of the war in Ukraine, both inside and outside the theater of operations? What clandestine operations have been going on for the past three years, unknown to the general public? How does the secret war between Russia and Western countries often spill over into terrorism? What assassinations have been carried out against oligarchs across Europe? How are Western intelligence services, particularly British, helping the Ukrainians? What is the presence of Ukrainian services in Russia? What has become of the American biological laboratories since 1922?...
To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western, Ukrainian and Russian documents. Between secret diplomacy and clandestine operations, the war in Ukraine was far more complex than the media portrayed it. 
Following on from the bestsellers Putin, the Master of the Game, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace and The Art of Russian War, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and whose books have been translated in many countries (USA, China, Japan, Korea, Great Britain, Germany -bestseller-, Russia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Brazil and the Arab countries), the author returns to the clandestine war that has been waged between Russia, Ukraine and Western countries for the past three years.
