Synopsis

Police Misconduct Law delves into the critical intersection of law enforcement accountability, civil rights violations, and the legal frameworks designed to address police misconduct in the United States. The book examines how criminal law applies to officers, the civil rights remedies available to victims, and the effectiveness of accountability mechanisms like internal affairs and civilian review boards. A key insight is that while laws exist, systemic issues such as qualified immunity often undermine their effectiveness, hindering true law enforcement accountability.

 
Beginning with an overview of different types of police misconduct, the book progresses through criminal statutes applicable to officers, civil rights litigation under Section 1983, and an analysis of internal and external accountability systems. It highlights the challenges in securing convictions against officers and explores the remedies available to victims of police brutality and false arrest. By exploring landmark Supreme Court cases and federal statutes, it provides a comprehensive view of the legal landscape.

 
This book is unique because it combines a thorough analysis of the legal tools with a realistic assessment of the obstacles to their effective use in achieving meaningful police reform. It provides essential context by tracing the historical evolution of police powers and the safeguards meant to prevent abuse. Drawing on case law, statutes, and empirical data, the book offers a multifaceted perspective valuable to legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone concerned with justice and the rule of law.

The Princes in the Tower -...

Philippa Langley

Philippa Langley took the world by storm when, against all the odds and a seven-year investigation, she discovered the grave of King Richard III (1452-1485) in a Leicester car park. A king finally laid to rest, the rediscovery and reburial of Richard III was watched by an estimated global audience of over 366 million. 
 
Now, Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project’. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. 
 
Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower. Established by Langley in 2016, ‘The Missing Princes Project’ employed the methods of a cold-case police enquiry. Using investigative methodology, it aimed to place this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time. 
 
In The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case, Langley records the painstaking investigative work and research of the project. By questioning received wisdom, she and her team shed light upon one of history's greatest miscarriages of justice, revealing a phenomenal untold story.

Death on Ireland's Eye - The...

Dean Ruxton

A tragic death, a murder trial and a 170-year-old mystery – but what really happened?
Shortly after Maria Kirwan died in a lonely inlet on Ireland's Eye, it was decided that she had drowned accidentally during a day spent with her husband on the picturesque island. This inquest verdict appeared to conclude the melancholy events that consumed the fishing village of Howth, Co Dublin, in September 1852.
But not long afterwards, suspicion fell upon Maria's husband, William Burke Kirwan, as whispers of unspeakable cruelty, an evil character and a secret life rattled through the streets of Dublin. Investigations led to William's arrest and trial for murder.
The story swelled into one of the most bitterly divisive chapters in the dark annals of Irish criminal history. Yet questions remain: Does the evidence stand up? What role did the heavy hand of Victorian moral outrage play? Was William really guilty of murder, or did the ever-present 'moral facts' fill in gaps where hard proof was absent?
Now, this compelling modern analysis revisits the key evidence, asking sober questions about the facts, half-facts and fantasies buried within the yellowed pages of the Ireland's Eye case files.
