Free Download Melayna Kay Lamb, "A Philosophical History of Police Power"
English | ISBN: 1350204048 | 2024 | 232 pages | EPUB, PDF | 682 KB + 11 MB
Rethinking the philosophical grounds of police power, Melayna Lamb argues that traditional ideas of sovereignty and the law need to be radically re-evaluated. In placing police at the centre of analysis this book demonstrates the manner in which police power exists in a complex and overlapping relationship with sovereignty and law in a form which is not reducible to implementation. In doing this it argues for the centrality of order in any consideration of police and challenging a common narrative whereby a dynamic, interventionist sovereign power that follows from a belief of order as ‘artificial’ is replaced by a liberal, limited non-interventionist sovereign power that proceeds from a ‘natural’ order. Moving through thinkers such as Hobbes, Hegel and Adam Smith the book argues that police power is in fact an-archic in form, in a manner that makes it impossible to hold accountable through the law.

A riveting investigation into how a restive region of China became the site of a nightmare Orwellian social experiment – the definitive police state – and the global technology giants that made it possible.
Blocked from facts and truth, under constant surveillance, surrounded by a hostile alien police force: Xinjiang’s Uyghur population has become cursed, oppressed, outcast. Most citizens cannot discern between enemy and friend. Social trust has been destroyed systematically. Friends betray each other, bosses snitch on employees, teachers expose their students, and children turn on their parents. Everyone is dependent on a government that nonetheless treats them with suspicion and contempt. Welcome to the Perfect Police State.
Using the haunting story of one young woman’s attempt to escape the vicious technological dystopia, his own reporting from Xinjiang, and extensive firsthand testimony from exiles, Geoffrey Cain reveals the extraordinary intrusiveness and power of the tech surveillance giants and the chilling implications for all our futures.

Free Download Police Interrogation, Language, and the Law: The Invocation Game
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1316511529 | 201 Pages | PDF | 1.5 MB
Recent calls for justice reform have put a spotlight on how the police enforce the law in the United States. How a person’s constitutional rights may be legally thwarted during police interrogation, however, has not been part of any meaningful discussion on police reform. This novel book examines the intersections of the law and policing discourse through the detailed analysis of a large corpus of United States federal court rulings, starting with Miranda v. Arizona (1966). It covers a wide range of topics, including the history of police interrogation in the United States, the role of federal law in handicapping a person’s ability to invoke their right to counsel, and the invocation game of police interrogation that may lead a variety of suspects to change their discursive preferences. It highlights the need for American police interrogation reform, exploring the paths taken by other jurisdictions outside of the United States.

English | ASIN: B0BW22JSW1 | 2023 | 5 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 267 MB
Author: Harry Dunn
Narrator: Harry Dunn
The stirring memoir of Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police Officer on duty January 6th, who has become one of the most prominent and essential voices regarding the truth of that day. Walking the halls of democracy as a Capitol Police officer, Harry Dunn was a man slowly experiencing an awakening. It sparked after the election of our first Black president. It grew as his belief in the bravery and honor of law enforcement was shaken by Ferguson and countless other cases of police brutality towards the Black community. It continued to burn brighter as he watched members of Congress, many of whom he had befriended, lose their way to partisanship, as political extremism intensified. And it exploded into a blaze when he fought side by side with his fellow officers on January 6th, when democracy and their lives were threatened.

Free Download Luke William Hunt, "Police Deception and Dishonesty: The Logic of Lying"
English | ISBN: 0197672167 | 2023 | 256 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1088 KB + 11 MB
In Police Deception and Dishonesty, Luke William Hunt-a philosophy professor and former FBI Special Agent-argues that many of our assumptions about policing and security are unjustified. Through a rich discussion of literature and case studies, he shows that there are compelling reasons to think that the police’s widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality-especially norms regarding fraud and the rule of law. Although there are times and places for dishonesty and deception in policing, Hunt evocatively illustrates why those times and places should be much more limited than current practices suggest.
