Are Children Reliable Witnesses?
"If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they may well be questioned by the police. Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances? In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children’s testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors' perception of said children are also looked into in detail. There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children’s eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law, innocence is the key to achieving justice?
No Body in Blackberry Cove
Private investigator Gregg Hunter faces a chilling dilemma when his daughter is kidnapped by unknown assailants. Instead of a ransom, they issue him an ultimatum: solve a baffling murder or lose his daughter forever. Determined to rescue her, Gregg launches dual investigations—one to unravel the murder, another to track down the kidnappers before it's too late. In the enigmatic town of Blackberry Cove, numerous suspects emerge. As Gregg delves deeper into the shadows, he realizes that the people holding his daughter are convinced the missing man has been brutally killed, despite no body or crime scene. As time passes, the kidnappers grow more impatient and send him a grisly warning. One misstep could cost Gregg his daughter's life. Gregg's quest for justice becomes a race against the clock to save his daughter. Will he be able to decode the clues in time to rescue her, or will he be consumed by the darkness that threatens to engulf them both?
Blades Of Destiny
Rella has known the rumors of technology are true ever since she witnessed a spacecraft fall from the skies. But, on Arcadia, speaking that truth can get you hanged as a heretic. Only her collection of blades offer a glimmer of hope against Arcadia's ruthless dictators. Though often lacking in social graces, Rella, a governor’s daughter, suffers no lack of hand-eye coordination or resolve to survive after her father’s wrongful death. When she gets word that the fanatics who executed her father have seized her only remaining friend, Rella knows it is time to put her training to the ultimate test. She must find a way to break into the Omi’s Sanctuary, buried beneath their capital city. Help arrives from the most unlikely of sources: a traveling Omi monk with a hidden agenda of his own. He seeks safe passage, while Rella needs his navigational knowledge of the underground maze leading to the heart of the Omi's stronghold. The pair must put their differences aside as the rescue mission morphs into a quest to expose the secrets concealed by their oppressors—and possibly even unveil the true history of humankind.
Fictional International Relations
This book proposes the idea of fictional International Relations (IR) and engages with feminist IR by contextualising the case of a woman spy in Korea in the Cold War. Fictional imagination and feminist IR encourage one to go beyond conventional or standard ways of thinking; it reshapes taken-for-granted interpretations and assumptions. This takes the view that a dominant narrative of events might be reconstructed as a different kind of story, once events are placed within a wider temporal approach. The case of the woman Korean secret agent- who reportedly bombed a South Korean plane (Korean Airlines (KAL) Flight 858) under the instruction from the North Korean leadership to disrupt the Seou...
