Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.A provocative call for change to a justice system in desperate need of renewal.If the goal of our justice system is to reduce crime and create a safer society, then we must do better. According to conventional wisdom, severely punishing offenders reduces the likelihood that they'll offend again. Why, then, do so many who go to prison continue to commit crimes after their release? What do we actually know about offenders and the reasons they break the law?InCrime & Punishment, Russell Marks argues that the lives of most criminal offenders - and indeed of many victims of crime - are marked by often staggering disadvantage. For many offenders, prison only increases their chances of committing further crimes. And despite what some media outlets and politicians want us to believe, harsher sentences do not help most victims to heal.Drawing on his experience as a lawyer, Marks eloquently makes the case for restorative justice and community correction, whereby offenders are obliged to engage with victims and make amends. Crime & Punishment is a provocative call for change to a justice system in desperate need of renewal. (back cover).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The latest addition to the I, Messenger series opens with a prologue that leaves Tom Reynolds reflecting on a name and mysterious GPS coordinates after his ten-year-old daughter, Sarah, announces that they have been summoned. If that glimpse of the near future intrigues you more than revisiting the past, dive straight into Book 3.It's the globe on fast-forward. From Detroit's AI-retro-fitted factories to war-shadowed Addis Ababa and a Bundeswehr think-tank outside Berlin, the novel moves like a strategic board game played at 30,000 feet. Each stop reveals how nations weaponize-or humanize-artificial intelligence, turning supply chains and treaties into pieces on a brand-new chessboard.Sarah steps out of the background. No longer just the family's miracle child, she becomes a catalyst: her disarming and provocative questions expose adult blind spots and quietly reshape the ethical spine of the tour. Watching the world collide with her unfiltered logic is a thrill all its own.The emotional fuse is shorter. Tom must keep thirty Type-A MBAs (and one prodigy) focused while a civil war rages outside their hotel; Liz, joining remotely and eventually in person, wonders how best to nurture her prodigal child.You learn just enough about what came before. Brief references to the Christmas-day 'messenger' of 2014 and the salon debates of 2022 give you the context you need-no homework required. Instead of origin stories, you get a front-row seat to the consequences.Choose Book 3 if you want the trilogy's biggest canvas first: geopolitics, family tension, and the unsettling thrill of watching humanity sprint to keep up with its own inventions. The earlier books will be waiting-like breadcrumbs back through time-once you've seen where all that wonder and worry ultimately leads.…
