A Wild Justice: The Death and Resurrection of Capital Punishment in America by Evan J. Mandery Pdf
New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Drawing on never-before-published original source detail, the epic story of two of the most consequential, and largely forgotten, moments in Supreme Court history. For two hundred years, the constitutionality of capital punishment had been axiomatic. But in 1962, Justice Arthur Goldberg and his clerk Alan Dershowitz dared to suggest otherwise, launching an underfunded band of civil rights attorneys on a quixotic crusade. In 1972, in a most unlikely victory, the Supreme Court struck down Georgia’s death penalty law in Furman v. Georgia. Though the decision had sharply divided the justices, nearly everyone, including the justices themselves, believed Furman would mean the end of executions in America. Instead, states responded with a swift and decisive showing of support for capital punishment. As anxiety about crime rose and public approval of the Supreme Court declined, the stage was set in 1976 for Gregg v. Georgia, in which the Court dramatically reversed direction. A Wild Justice is an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the Court, the justices, and the political complexities of one of the most racially charged and morally vexing issues of our time.

This study demonstrates not only that the devices of revenge are structurally useful in comedy, but also that there is a consistent conception of revenge as an ethical social instrument in the comedies of Shakespeare.

A Kind of Wild Justice by W. A. Gore Pdf
Bullying: hurting, persecuting or intimidating weaker people. Easy to define, difficult to stamp out. A Kind of Wild Justice is a work of fiction about the long-term consequences of probably the single biggest issue facing most young people today. This novel also incorporates a number of curious and esoteric words, the meaning of which is always explained somewhere in the book, and it is hoped that this will stimulate an interest in the incredible diversity of the English lexicon. The year 2000: in the loft of his new house, a boy named Jim stumbles across a hidden notebook. It is a diary from 1970 in which a thirteen-year-old victim of bullying writes comprehensively about the experiences at his new secondary school that make his life a misery and drive him to suicide. The pity Jim feels for the victim and his mother is eclipsed only by his anger towards the three main bullies and a passive observer who could have intervened. Realising that he alone knows what really happened all those years ago, he feels a strong urge to track down the culprits and punish them. A chance encounter not only enables Jim to ascertain what the dead boy's mother feels about her son's death but also provides the first link to a past that is closer to home than he could ever have anticipated. Jim starts his campaign but things soon begin to spiral out of control, and he finds himself questioning his own motives. The more he pieces together the past, the harder it becomes to separate right from wrong, fact from fiction; the more he discovers about himself, the less clear he is about what sort of person he is or would like to be.

Wild Justice by Marc Bekoff,Jessica Pierce Pdf
Scientists have long counseled against interpreting animal behavior in terms of human emotions, warning that such anthropomorphizing limits our ability to understand animals as they really are. Yet what are we to make of a female gorilla in a German zoo who spent days mourning the death of her baby? Or a wild female elephant who cared for a younger one after she was injured by a rambunctious teenage male? Or a rat who refused to push a lever for food when he saw that doing so caused another rat to be shocked? Aren’t these clear signs that animals have recognizable emotions and moral intelligence? With Wild Justice Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce unequivocally answer yes. Marrying years of behavioral and cognitive research with compelling and moving anecdotes, Bekoff and Pierce reveal that animals exhibit a broad repertoire of moral behaviors, including fairness, empathy, trust, and reciprocity. Underlying these behaviors is a complex and nuanced range of emotions, backed by a high degree of intelligence and surprising behavioral flexibility. Animals, in short, are incredibly adept social beings, relying on rules of conduct to navigate intricate social networks that are essential to their survival. Ultimately, Bekoff and Pierce draw the astonishing conclusion that there is no moral gap between humans and other species: morality is an evolved trait that we unquestionably share with other social mammals. Sure to be controversial, Wild Justice offers not just cutting-edge science, but a provocative call to rethink our relationship with—and our responsibilities toward—our fellow animals.

A chance DNA test proves without doubt what DS Mike Fielding has always known - that the man tried for the barbaric murder of local Devon girl Angela Philips twenty years before, the man who walked free, was the Beast of Dartmoor. It is a bitter victory. Because the law of double jeopardy means James O'Donnell can't be tried again. He is still a free man. For Joanna Bartlett, the once brilliant but now jaded crime correspondent who covered the case two decades before, the findings stir memories she's tried to forget. Not only of the terrible murder she can't bear to remember - but of Fielding, the maverick detective who shared her obsession with the tragedy. There has been a shocking miscarriage of justice - one that will now torment those who have suffered since the murder. Fielding, his career irrevocably damaged by the case, is determined to see justice done. And Joanna and the media are his means. But will the killer ever be punished?

"'Revenge is a kind of wild justice ... ' (Francis Bacon). Euripides' & quot;Hecuba & quot; is dominated by the vengeance which Hecuba takes on the faithless Polymestor, and explores in a complex and profound manner the potential for revenge as a subject for tragedy. The sacrifice of Polyxena is in counterpoint to the revenge action; the whole is set in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Troy. The combination of plots creates one of Euripides' most effective dramas, full of pathos, suspense and excitement. This study of the play in English argues that it has been greatly undervalued by critics who have failed to appreciate the power of its rhetoric, the subtlety of its characterisation, and the beauty of its choral odes."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
