Viktimologie pro forenzní praxi, 2. rozšířené vydání
Riziko, že se staneme obětí trestného činu, se týká nás všech. V roli oběti reagujeme různě, i banální delikt může člověka emocionálně poškodit. Navíc zločin tak či onak poznamenává nejen přímou oběť, ale také její blízké. Pachatel tím, co udělal, změní „jednou ranou“ kvalitu života hned několika lidem.
Publikace seznamuje se základními okruhy viktimologie (primární a sekundární viktimizace, mýty o obětech, průběhy a následky viktimizace). Nabízí prakticky využitelné poznatky ze současné viktimologie např. proč máme tendenci očerňovat oběť, jak porozumět zdánlivě nelogickému chování oběti v průběhu a po činu, proč některé oběti mlčí anebo oznamují trestný čin opožděně. Věnuje se také otázce, jak posuzovat potřeby obětí a reagovat na ně.
V aktualizovaném a rozšířeném vydání, které je založeno na aktuální legislativě, čtenář najde novou kapitolu o psychologii oběti a také celou novou část týkající se zvláště zranitelných obětí (oběti domácího násilí, znásilnění, digitálního násilí) a jednání s oběťmi trestných činů.
What If Reform Wins
'a massive wake-up call' The Guardian'a gripping and important book' Andrew Marr'Farage is Britain's new prime minister. Nirvana or nightmare? Whatever our reaction, we all need to take this scenario very seriously, as Peter Chappell's invigorating book does' Anthony Seldon'a dazzling imagined account of Nigel Farage’s first year in Number Ten: hilarious, terrifying and totally believable... Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.' Ferdinand MountA compulsive, chilling nonfiction thriller that imagines what might happen if Reform win a majority at the next general election. At 10pm on 28th June 2029, exit polls predict that Nigel Farage will be the 60th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This is the story of what could happen next. What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC’s license fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described ‘ill-disciplined pirate ship’ survive the rigors of government? Drawing on dozens of new interviews, Peter Chappell, a reporter at The Times, explores a nation on a new and dystopian path.
Having Spent Life Seeking
'Amazing, it really moved me... Not something I've encountered in British literary fiction before' SHON FAYE'If books can still change the world, this one most likely will' COLUM MCCANN'A scorching story of love, change, homecoming and forgiveness' DAWN FRENCHRothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind. The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there. Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different. A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. This book is about things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen. 'A wonderful, moving and enlightening state-of-Britain novel' IRVINE WELSH'A master-craftsman of deep feeling and linguistic intimacy' MAX PORTER'Kae Tempest at his finest' ANTHONY SHAPLAND'Unboundedly beautiful' MICHAEL PEDERSEN
Seznam podezřelých věcí
Když si policie neví rady, musí nastoupit svérázná dospívající vyšetřovatelka
Yorkshire, 1979. Premiérkou je Margaret Thatcherová, džíny do zvonu jsou právě in a dvanáctiletá Miv je přesvědčená, že její otec chce přestěhovat celou rodinu na jih. Kvůli vraždám.
Ovšem opustit Yorkshire a nejlepší kamarádku Sharon pro ni prostě nepřipadá v úvahu, bez ohledu na nebezpečí, jež číhá v okolí, nebo na podivnosti doma, které začaly v den, kdy Mivina matka přestala mluvit. Miv spřádá plán — kdyby se jí podařilo vyřešit případ sériového vraha, možná by přece jen mohli zůstat a nikam se nestěhovat…
Miv a Sharon se tedy rozhodnou sepsat seznam: seznam všech podezřelých lidí a věcí v jejich ulici. Lidí, které znají. Lidí, které neznají. Věcí, které vybočují z každodennosti. Jejich pátrání však brzy odhalí tajemství v jejich sousedství, v jejich rodinách, a dokonce mezi kamarádkami navzájem. Co když skutečná záhada, kterou musí Miv vyřešit, leží až nebezpečně blízko jí samé?

We Don't Use Words Like 'Crazy'
An illuminating memoir of life working on the frontline of mental health.
We Don't Use Words Like Crazy is a 'professional confessional' from Elliot Sweeney, a mental health nurse who works on the frontline of mental health services. His touching and often humorous memoir lifts the lid on the realities of the profession, in an attempt to highlight the need for compassion for some of the most vulnerable people in the world, and the very committed people that work with them on a professional basis.
Elliot's heartfelt and powerful book is for anyone who wants to know what it's really like to work in contemporary mental health services in the UK, and why people like Elliot stick at it. Described as 'funny, frank and beautifully observed', Elliot's memoir explores all aspects of mental health care, including hospital, youth care, dementia, community care, and the more extreme experience of working with risk, highlighting a service that underpins our society and that reflects the full spectrum of humanity.

Aspects of the Late Roman Republic, 133-44BC
The period 133-44BC, bookended by the murders of Tiberius Gracchus and Julius Caesar, was one of profound political change in the Roman world. Aspects of the Late Roman Republic, 133-44BC: Dipping into Cicero’s ‘Romulan Cesspool’ collects a series of 58 essays on various events and people of that era that can frequently be overlooked in larger works. The chapters appear in a variety of approaches and lengths. Some look at humorous happenings, others investigate interesting personages and events – examples include a look at Cato the Younger possibly interviewing a pharaoh whilst sitting on the lavatory, an inventor and house ‘flipper’ called Sergius Orata, the revolt of Lepidus, and the fixing of an election. While aiming to be interesting and entertaining, the entries can also serve as jumping-off points for more in-depth study. To facilitate this, each chapter lists the secondary sources used in its creation, which doubles as ‘Further Reading’. So, if you want more on the Gracchi, Marius, Sulla, Rome’s wars (internal and external), political trials, revolts or another subject addressed within, help is provided. There are also three subcollections interspersed throughout the compilation – the Catonic Interludes, which look at aspects of the career of Cato the Younger; Caesarian Setbacks, which look at battlefield defeats inflicted on Caesar and his lieutenants, while Avenging the Triumvirs looks at the fates of the men involved in the murders of Crassus, Pompey and Caesar. Looking at the Contents, you would be forgiven for thinking that ‘The Murder of…’ and ‘The Trial of…’ were also subcategories given how often chapters could be summed up in that manner…But then this Ancient Rome after all…

Cretan Chronicle: An Archaeological Childhood
Cretan Chronicle: An Archaeological Childhood is about love and stoicism.As a young child, Mary is uprooted from her home in Crete among an archaeological community and resettles in England. Revisiting Crete each year, Mary begins to assist her father, Sinclair Hood, in his fieldwork. The ruined Palace of Minos transforms from her playground into her workplace. Sinclair struggles to publish excavation reports, preferring to revel in media acclaim. Burying family stories, he wrestles with pacifism and his Anglo-Catholic faith. Mary sets out to study architecture, and mixes pleasure and jealousy in a tangled love triangle with an artist-poet. She must learn to forsake lust, stop working for Sinclair, and figure her way out of her own Labyrinth.Steeped in the myths of Zeus and his daughter Athena, and born in Greece, but not Greek, Mary interweaves themes of identity, trauma and redemption with stories of fickle deities and the regenerative power of nature. She unearths her archaeological family’s secrets with riveting intricacy to give a unique perspective on her father’s unusual upbringing by a capricious wealthy mother, as well as his loves and career.Appealing to readers interested in mid-20th century archaeological lives, Cretan Chronicle sparkles with clarity and humour—strengthened and nurtured by the bright Mediterranean sun.
