Summary

Insanity Defense Scope explores the intricate intersection of law and psychology, examining when a person's mental state absolves them of criminal responsibility. The book delves into the evolution of legal standards for the insanity defense, such as the M'Naghten Rule, which focuses on whether the accused understood the nature and quality of their act, and the Irresistible Impulse Test, which considers whether the accused could control their actions. It also highlights how societal views on mental illness influence the application of these standards in criminal justice.

 
The book meticulously analyzes landmark cases across various jurisdictions, revealing inconsistencies and challenges in applying the insanity defense. It uses court transcripts and expert witness testimonies to illustrate the complexities of diagnosing mental illness in a legal context.

 
Progressing from historical context to practical applications, Insanity Defense Scope concludes with potential reforms for a more consistent and evidence-based approach, making it valuable for legal and psychology professionals.

    "A lyrical, radiant memoir." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 
Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after in this breathtaking combination of poetry, memoir, and observation. 
'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and he could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, for all their understanding of how life manifests, thrives and evolves, have still not answered that fundamental question. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. 
In this dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography, observation, and memoir, Wroe explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for the telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes is a luminous, deeply personal answer to Shelley's question.

    Don Perkins led a life as one of the most honored athletes in the history of the University of New Mexico and the Dallas Cowboys. But Perkins's life was far more complex and, at times, controversial. He experienced the traumas of racial discrimination, death, divorce, football-related injuries, and a never-ending search for his own identity. In his search, Perkins ventured into sportscasting, public speaking, community relations, big-rig trucking, government work, and even amateur theater, where he portrayed Frederick Douglass and other famous Black leaders. Through it all, he remained a kind, unassuming, charismatic man, universally admired by family members, friends, and millions of fans. Don Perkins: A Champion's Life is the final tribute he so greatly deserves.

    An inspiring story of one family’s journey through the British care system, from the point of view of a foster carer. It tells of the funny, challenging, and often harrowing times of living life in an ever-changing household of temporary children. 
 
Steering a course through the muddy waters of the care system has provided many obstacles but has overall proved to be a rewarding and heart-warming experience for the author. 
 
Children who find themselves removed from their birth families are thrust into a system which, although trying its best, is so often lacking in the love and good quality nurturing they deserve. 
 
As a society, we need to look at the way we deal with vulnerable children.
