Summary

Self Defense Limitations explores the complex legal boundaries defining when self-defense crosses into criminal behavior. It dives into the core principles like 'reasonable force' and 'imminent danger', concepts crucial for evaluating self-defense claims in court. Did you know that an oversimplified understanding of self-defense law can actually land you in legal jeopardy? The book navigates through historical context, tracing self-defense laws from common law to modern interpretations.

 
The book uniquely argues that self-defense isn't an unlimited right but depends on legal standards and contextual factors. Chapters methodically guide readers, first laying out basic principles, then examining specific scenarios like defending property or others. Controversial 'stand your ground' laws are dissected, revealing their impact on crime rates. The analysis uses legal case studies, FBI crime statistics, and scholarly research to support its arguments, offering a nuanced understanding of self-defense law's limitations.

    Screwed - Britain's Prison...

    When Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth in September 2023, the nation got a glimpse into the heart of the prison system, and what they saw there was chaos. This came as no surprise to Ian Acheson, who had spent years warning of the disasters to come.
    Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty's Prison Service, told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time he witnessed the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. This uncompromisingly brutal account exposes the politics and operational decisions that have driven our prisons to a state where rats roam freely, prisoners are forced to use slop buckets, violence and intimidation are normalised and it is easier to get a bag of heroin than a bar of soap.
    
    Concluding that the crisis is not unfixable, however, Acheson outlines a new corporate culture and mission that puts its faith in the officers who walk the landings every day: order restored, potential rescued, society safeguarded.

    How do you steal a library? Not just any library but the most secret, heavily guarded archive in the world. The answer is to be a librarian. The work goes on for decades but remains so low key, that even after your escape, no one even notices you are gone.The Spy in the Archive tells the remarkable story of how Vasili Mitrokhin—an introverted archivist—ended up changing the world. As the in-house archivist for the KGB, the secrets he was exposed to turned him into a dissident and then a spy; a traitor to his country but a man determined to expose the truth about the dark forces that had subverted Russia, forces still at work in the country today.Historian and journalist Gordon Corera tells of the operation to extract this prized asset from Russia for the first time. It is an edge-of-the-seat thriller with vivid flashbacks. It is the story of what it was like to live in the Soviet Union, to raise a family there, and then of one man's journey from the heart of the Soviet state to disillusion, betrayal, and defection.At its heart is Mitrokhin's determination to take on the most powerful institution in the world by revealing its darkest secrets. This is narrative nonfiction at its best.

    Sex After Sexual Assault

    The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. 
     
     
     
    Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories. Millions of people across the United States experience sexual assault, and 94% of survivors experience symptoms of traumatic stress. These symptoms may affect our sex lives. This crucial book tackles the obstacles a survivor frequently faces while rebuilding a sex life after trauma. Each chapter includes a selection of survivors' stories. These stories illuminate how survivors have navigated their struggles into positive practices and outlooks and reimagined what sex and intimacy can look like. 
     
     
     
    For survivors it is a guidebook, a road map, true stories to lean on. These are survivors' stories, but the broader picture they paint is for anybody seeking more intentional, connected, and pleasurable sex with the awareness that rape culture impacts everyone.
