Bücher von David Baker

Atomwaffen gelten als das Schreckgespenst des Krieges und der Einsatz solcher Waffen ist eigentlich unvorstellbar. Und doch gibt es sie in den Arsenalen weniger Atommächte; sie sind eine militärische Realität und gerade in der heutigen Zeit tut neutrale lnformation Not. Dieses Buch bietet eine sachliche Beschreibung aller Atomwaffen: wie sie konstruiert sind, wie sie funktionieren, wer über sie verfügt und wie sie im Kriegsfall eingesetzt würden. Ausgewogen werden hier lnformationen vermittelt, die für viele Menschen normalerweise schwer oder gar nicht zugänglich sind. Das Standardwerk zum Thema.

Police Related Deaths in the United States examines how police related deaths in the US occur; how investigations are conducted into these deaths; and why such deaths and the investigatory processes into them provoke such concern in the wider American society. The book considers such deaths as being the result of structural and systemic factors in policing, the criminal justice system, and broader socio-political and socio-legal landscapes in the U.S.. It argues that an increasingly aggressive police mindset allied with relatively toothless regulatory frameworks effectively lead to police being enabled by the criminal justice system to use lethal force with relative impunity. The book considers the disproportionate number of deaths in marginalized communities, for example: people of color, people who are mentally unwell, and LGBTQ people. Each chapter in the book begins with a case study of a specific police related death and places issues within that case in the wider context of policing in the US. David Baker argues that the effects of these deaths go beyond merely policing and criminal justice, and corrodes the core fabric of American society.
