Proportionality in International Law

There are few topics in the law governing conflict more complicated and elusive than proportionality. Accomplished international lawyers struggle to grasp the important difference between application of the concept in the law of self-defense and international humanitarian law. Contemporary means and methods of warfare such as cyber-attack and the use of voluntary human shields have exacerbated the complexity modern decision-makers and warfighters face when addressing real-world proportionality issues. Professors Newton and May have skillfully teased apart international law's variants of proportionality in a manner that is both accessible and sophisticated. Of particular note is their interdisciplinary approach and use of real-world examples. I commend this work to scholars and practitioners alike.

Moral Panic within British Society caused by the Mass Media

The intent of this research is to put forward evidence for whether or not the moral panic around youth crime is justifiable. The method being conducted for this research will be done in a secondary research basis: this is due to the need to review media and theoretical data around social class, role models and the media's opinion on these topics. The aim is draw reasoning for youth crime from different aspects that could possibly be part of a cause and effect cycle around this topic. The research will be looking at actual statistics in a bid to view the actual extent of youth crime; another aspect being looked includes the goals for the 2010 general election in relation to the intentions for youth justice.

Prosecuting Maritime Piracy

This book addresses maritime piracy by focusing on the unique and fascinating issues arising in the course of domestic piracy prosecutions, from the pursuit and apprehension of pirates to their trial and imprisonment. It examines novel matters not addressed in other published works, such as the challenges in preserving and presenting evidence in piracy trials, the rights of pirate defendants, and contending with alleged pirates who are juveniles. A more thorough understanding of modern piracy trials and the precedent they have established is critical to scholars, practitioners, and the broader community interested in counter-piracy efforts, as these prosecutions are likely to be the primary judicial mechanism to contend with pirate activity going forward.
