"It's over. You'd have to be Ray Charles not to see it." ?former New Jersey capo Ron Previte, on the mob today As a cop, Ron Previte was corrupt. As a mobster he was brutal. And in his final role, as a confidential informant to the FBI, Previte was deadly. The Last Gangster is his story?the story of the last days of the Philadelphia Mob, and of the clash of generations that brought it down once and for all. For 35 years Ron Previte roamed the underworld. A six?foot, 300?pound capo in the Philadelphia?South Jersey crime family, he ran every mob scam and gambit from drug trafficking and prostitution to the extortion of millions from Atlantic City. In his own words, "Every day was a different felony." By the 1990s, Previte, an old?school workhorse, found himself answering to younger mob bosses like "Skinny Joe" Merlino, who seemed increasingly spoiled, cocky, and careless. Convinced that the honor of the "business" was gone, he became the FBI's secret weapon in an intense and highly personalized war on the Philadelphia mob. Operating with the same guile, wit, and stone?cold bravado that had made him a force in the underworld?and armed with only a wiretap secured to his crotch?Previte recorded it all; the murder, the mayhem, and even the story of mob boss Ralph Natale's affair with his youngest daughter's best friend. Previte and his FBI cronies eventually prevailed, securing the convictions of his nemeses, "Skinny Joey" Merlino and Ralph Natale.

On Thursday 12th June 2003, a press release concerning a Cabinet reshuffle declared as a footnote that the office of Lord Chancellor was to be abolished and that a new Supreme Court would replace the House of Lords as the highest court in the UK.In response to intense criticism of the Government for announcing these judicial reforms without holding any prior debate or consulation, Banner and Deane have sought the views of several constitutional experts. This book is the product of their research.

In the fall of 1918, devastating forest fires swept across a major portion of northeastern Minnesota. Drawing on both published survivors' accounts and on trial testimony never publicized, the authors bring to light this saga of destruction, resurrection, and resilience in the face of adversity.The origins of the fires and the dramatic stories of the fire sufferers and their survival are featured in the early chapters. Subsequent chapters deal with relief operations and the controversial legal battles that followed among the victims, the U.S. Railroad Administration, and the U.S. Congress as the survivors struggled to obtain compensation for their losses.

Are appointment politics and court decisions linked? Do presidents use judicial appointments to shape their policy agendas? C. K. Rowland and Robert Carp provide definitive answers to these questions and, in the process, provide a new paradigm for the study of federal jurisprudence.As the authors remind us, since the Judiciary Act of 1789, federal trial judges have been politically appointed, a process frequently the object of partisan scorn. Marshall's famous Marbury v. Madison case was triggered by the highly politicized appointment of William Marbury. FDR tried to protect his New Deal programs by choosing judges sympathetic to his political philosophy. Nixon and Carter were accused of nominating judges on the basis of ideological "litmus tests." And Reagan attracted relentless criticism to his own district-court appointments.From Woodrow Wilson to George Bush, Rowland and Carp examine the voting patterns of these presidentially appointed trial judges. Working from attorney interviews and more than 45,000 court rulings from 1933 to 1988--the largest and most current database available--they document the undeniable link between politics and jurisprudence in the federal lower courts.Rejecting the outmoded and reductionist attitudinal (or behavioral) model for a new one based on cognitive psychology, the authors argue that federal trial judges' decisions do not automatically reflect the policies and ideologies of that judge's presidential appointer. They show, instead, that ideology influences but does not predetermine or control judicial decision-making. They demonstrate further that, while the attitudinal model can help us understand judicial behavior at the appellate and Supreme Court level, it's simply incompatible with fact-finding, the primary duty of trial judges.In an era of expanding power and influence for federal trial judges, declining faith in our legal system, and increasingly divisive partisan politics the federal judiciary and its appointed judges will remain the focus of intense public scrutiny. This book shows us just how such analysis should be conducted.

The classic ninth edition of this essential reference work on international law is now available from Oxford University Press. It takes full account of the vast increase in the scope and content of international law since the Eighth edition, and in the range of available source material since the Eighth edition was published.

This landmark 1973 study of city policemen portrays in detail work "on the street,"the way police regard their work, the way they deal day-by-day with suspects and criminals, with colleague and superiors, and with the general public. Jonathan Rubinstein spent over a year with the Philadelphia police force, riding second man in patrol cars on all shifts, and from this experience he describes every aspects of a policeman's working life: his conception of the place he polices; his sense of territory; the extent of his knowledge of the people he polices; his technique for surveillance of his area; his use of the tools of the trade to control people; his complicated relationships with his coworkers and his sergeant, who dominates his working life. And, of course, he deals extensively with the eternal problems of corruption and brutality.Written with great insight and without pro- or anti-police bias, City Police is rich in illustrative incidents and serves as an excellent model for future studies of police work.

"Blood-boiling…with quippy analysis…Taub proposes straightforward fixes and ways everyday people can get involved in taking white-collar criminals to task."-San Francisco ChronicleHow ordinary Americans suffer when the rich and powerful use tax dodges or break the law to get richer and more powerful-and how we can stop it.There is an elite crime spree happening in America, and the privileged perps are getting away with it. Selling loose cigarettes on a city sidewalk can lead to a choke-hold arrest, and death, if you are not among the top 1%. But if you're rich and commit mail, wire, or bank fraud, embezzle pension funds, lie in court, obstruct justice, bribe a public official, launder money, or cheat on your taxes, you're likely to get off scot-free (or even win an election). When caught and convicted, such as for bribing their kids' way into college, high-class criminals make brief stops in minimum security "Club Fed" camps. Operate the scam from the executive suite of a giant corporation, and you can prosper with impunity. Consider Wells Fargo & Co. Pressured by management, employees at the bank opened more than three million bank and credit card accounts without customer consent, and charged late fees and penalties to account holders. When CEO John Stumpf resigned in "shame," the board of directors granted him a $134 million golden parachute.This is not victimless crime. Big Dirty Money details the scandalously common and concrete ways that ordinary Americans suffer when the well-heeled use white collar crime to gain and sustain wealth, social status, and political influence. Profiteers caused the mortgage meltdown and the prescription opioid crisis, they've evaded taxes and deprived communities of public funds for education, public health, and infrastructure. Taub goes beyond the headlines (of which there is no shortage) to track how we got here (essentially a post-Enron failure of prosecutorial muscle, the growth of "too big to jail" syndrome, and a developing implicit immunity of the upper class) and pose solutions that can help catch and convict offenders.

»Er du også en fucking panser«, råbte en 25-årig mand i Fristaden Christiania i en sen time på den sidste augustdag i 2016. To betjente ville arrestere den unge pusher, der bar en taske med knapt to kilo skunk og godt et kilo hash. Manden trak en pistol og skød den ene betjent i hovedet og i hoften. Den anden betjent skød han i benet. Dermed tog kampen mellem politiets specialgruppe Task Force Pusher Street (TFP) og pushermiljøet i Christiania en voldsom drejning.Specialgruppen fungerede mellem 2012 og 2017 og brugte nye succesfulde metoder, som medførte beslaglæggelse af enorme mængder af hash, penge og andre værdier. Derudover fik TFP arresteret og dømt et stort antal mennesker, der sad højt oppe i pushermiljøet.Bogen går tæt på krigen mellem TFP og pushermiljøet og sætter den i en historisk ramme fra Christianias start i 1971 og frem til nu. Hvordan opstod Christiania? Hvorfor lod myndighederne Christiania udvikle sig, som det er sket?Den fortæller også hashens historie på Christiania og Pusher Streets opståen og udvikling. Det sker bl.a. gennem beretninger fra en fast hashkunde, der startede med at købe sin hash på Christiania i 1971, og som stadig har sin gang i miljøet.Bjørn Schiønning har været journalist i DR Nyheder i mere end 30 år og tolk ved politi og retsvæsen lige så længe.

Den 19. september 1944 opløste tyskerne det danske politi, og næsten 2000 danske betjente blev anholdt. DET MÅ ALDRIG SKE IGEN er den unge betjent Anton Guldbæks beretning om det, der begyndte med at være en almindelig dag på kontoret og endte med otte måneder i helvede. Om turen fra Aalborg til Frøslevlejren, fra koncentrationslejrene Neuengamme og Buchenwald og videre til krigsfangelejren Mühlberg. Og tilbage igen med "de hvide busser" til Sverige, hvor han opholdt sig frem til Befrielsen.En velskrevet, usentimental og gribende personlig fortælling, der giver et enestående indblik i et stykke Danmarkshistorie, vi aldrig må glemme. En øjenvidneberetning, som familien først nu, 70 år efter, har ønsket at udgive til minde om det danske politis sværeste periode. Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave i 1 bind til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.Anton Guldbæk (1916-1989) var politibetjent i Aalborg og interneret i Tyskland fra den 19.9.1944 og frem til Befrielsen. Oplevelserne i kz-lejr kom til at præge ham resten af livet.

Forfatteren tegner i bogen et nærgående portræt af Drabschfen og skildrer gennem hans øjne den kriminalitet, der normalt serveres i småbidder gennem medierne.

Demokratiske samfund tillader eksistensen af ikke-demokratiske institutioner og bevægelser. Samtidig benytter demokratiske stater efterretningstjenester til at overvåge demokratiets fjender for at forhindre anslag mod den lovlige samfundsorden. Da efterretningstjenester ikke kan forudsige, hvorfra sådanne anslag vil komme, vil der være en tendens til, at overvågning og efterforskning er bredere, end man kan mene er berettiget. Disse forhold illustrerer to spørgsmål, der er omdrejningspunktet for denne bog: I hvilket omfang og på hvilke måder kan og bør demokratiske stater tage ikke-demokratiske midler i anvendelse for at beskytte demokratiet? Og hvornår er overvågningen af en sådan karakter, at man med rette kan sige, at borgernes retssikkerhed er truet?Bogens bidrag tager udgangspunkt i den beretning om politiets efterretningsvirksomhed på det politiske område under Den Kolde Krig, der blev offentliggjort i sommeren 2009. Men hvilke resultater nåede Kommissionen frem til? Hvor var der enighed og uenighed mellem dens medlemmer? Hvorledes kan man opfatte Kommissionens resultater gennem et kritisk perspektiv? Hvilken værdi havde de mange a øringer? Hvor går grænsen for overvågning på det politiske område – og kan man overhovedet opstille en sådan grænse? Var der forskelle på overvågningen i Danmark, Norge og Sverige, og hvilke ligheder var der? Hvad med borgernes retssikkerhed? Og endelig: Hvad skal vi i det hele taget med undersøgelseskommissioner? Bogen er skrevet af Jørn Bro, Jørgen Grønnegård Christensen, Knut Einar Eriksen, Morten Heiberg, Axel Kierkegaard, Johnny Laursen, Karl Molin, Regin Schmidt, Jens Vedsted-Hansen, Preben Wilhjem og Rasmus Mariager, der ligeledes har redigeret antologien.
