Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 280 pages. The Global Corruption Report 2001 is the new annual publication of Transparen cy International, the leading global anti-corruption NGO. By providing an overvi ew of the state of corruption around the globe, the Global Corruption Report fil ls a significant gap in the existing literature. It assembles news and analysis on corruption and the fight against it around the world, highlighting internatio nal and regional trends, and significant instances of reform. It also reveals th e links between global, regional and national developments in the corruption fie ld, and does so from the independent perspective of an NGO. The book includes re ports by leading experts on topical issues such as political party funding, mone y laundering, and corruption in international sport, exploring in particular the global nature of these themes. It also contains 12 regionally-focused reports, written by journalists from around the world. The report's final data and resear ch section delivers a unique survey of the contemporary corruption and anti-corr uption research terrain, with contributions from a range of IGOs, NGOs, the priv ate sector, and academics. It also contains TI's own well-known Corruption Perce ptions Index (CPI). The Global Corruption Report is a must have publication for policy-makers, business people, lawyers, journalists, academics, and anti-corrup tion activists the world over.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Shortly before she pushed her infant daughter headfirst into a bucket of water and fastened the lid, Annie Cherry warmed the pail because, as she later explained to a police officer, "It would have been cruel to put her in cold water." Afterwards, this mother sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. At Cherry's trial at the Old Bailey in 1877, Henry Charlton Bastian, physician to the National Hospital for the Paralyzed and Epileptic, focused his testimony on her preternatural calm following the drowning. Like many other late Victorian medical men, Bastian believed that the mother's act and her subsequent behavior indicated homicidal mania, a novel species of madness that challenged the law's criterion for assigning criminal culpability. How did Dr. Bastian and his cohort of London's physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries-originally known as "mad-doctors"-arrive at such an innovative diagnosis, and how did they defend it in court? Mad-Doctors in the Dock is a sophisticated exploration of the history of the insanity defense in the English courtroom from the middle of the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century.Joel Peter Eigen examines courtroom testimony offered in nearly 1,000 insanity trials, transporting us into the world of psychiatric diagnosis and criminal justice. The first comprehensive account of how medical insight and folk psychology met in the courtroom, this book makes clear the tragedy of the crimes, the spectacle of the trials, and the consequences of the diagnosis for the emerging field of forensic psychiatry.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A sleepwalking, homicidal nursemaid; a "morally vacant" juvenile poisoner; a man driven to arson by a "lesion of the will"; an articulate and poised man on trial for assault who, while conducting his own defence, undergoes a profound personality change and becomes a wild and delusional "alter". These people are not characters from a mystery novelist's vivid imagination, but rather defendants who were tried at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court, in the mid-19th century. In "Unconscious Crime", Joel Peter Eigen explores these and other cases in which defendants did not conform to any of the Victorian legal system's existing definitions of insanity, yet displayed convincing evidence of mental aberration. Instead, they were - or claimed to be - "missing", "absent" or "unconscious": lucid, though unaware of their actions.Based on extensive research in the Old Bailey Sessions Papers (verbatim courtroom narratives taken down in shorthand during the trial and sold on the street the following day), Eigen's book reveals a growing estrangement between law and medicine over the legal concept of the person as a rational and purposeful actor with a clear understanding of consequences. The McNaughtan Rules of l843 had formalized the Victorian insanity plea, guiding the courts in cases of alleged delusion and derangement. But as Eigen makes clear in the cases he discovered, even though defence attorneys attempted to broaden the definition of insanity to include mental absence, the courts and physicians who testified as experts were wary of these novel challenges to the idea of human agency and responsibility. Combining the colourful intrigue of courtroom drama and the keen insights of social history, "Unconscious Crime" depicts Victorian England's legal and medical cultures confronting a new understanding of human behaviour, and provocatively suggests these trials represent the earliest incarnation of double consciousness and multiple personality disorder.
