The Red Legion
Prohibition is over, closing the lid on half the crime in New York. Wall Street has crashed, opening it up for a whole new breed of criminal to roam the city streets...not that it's Ineke Valence's problem anymore. She has long since hung up her revolver, replacing it with a soda bottle, her red scarf with a barmaid's threads. That is until her old nemesis from the force Sergeant Fielding decides to make it her problem, framing her for a murder and then setting her up to fall hard. Valence moves quickly to bust the case, but when an old associate from her days as a Bandita down in Mexico resurfaces bringing omens of ill for her, and then someone makes the fatal mistake of kidnapping her daughter Elysia. Valence heads to Mexico to retrieve her, the line between Ineke and Angel never so stretched, never so close herself to becoming what she has always feared.
The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis
This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power, and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation, the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place, the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis, the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Cope...
Welfare, Populism and Welfare Chauvinism
In the wake of the financial crisis, and with increasing numbers of people in precarious and low paid jobs, there has been a surprising surge of support for populist right-wing political parties who often promote an anti-welfare message. Tougher approaches and welfare chauvinism are on the agenda in many countries, with policies which reduce the welfare state for those seen as undeserving and changes that often disproportionally benefit the rich. Why are voters seemingly not concerned about growing inequality? Using a mixed-methods approach and newly released data, this book aims to answer this question and to show possible ways forward for welfare states.

Frihed, lighed og privat velfærd
Antallet af private velfærdsløsninger vokser. De seneste 20 år har markant flere danskere valgt privat lønsikring, privatskole til børnene eller en privat sundhedsforsikring til hele familien. Frihed, lighed og privat velfærd stiller skarpt på den private velfærd: Hvor hurtigt vokser de private løsninger? Hvor og hvordan møder danskerne dem i hverdagen, og hvor meget fylder de faktisk? Kommer de rige og raske til at køre på første klasse, mens de fattige og svage efterlades på perronen? Eller kan de nye private tilbud sikre, at flere får bedre og mere velfærd? Bogen fortæller den samlede historie om privat velfærd. Med udgangspunkt i helt nye tal, konkrete eksempler og brugbare modeller diskuterer forfatterne drivkræfterne for privat velfærd på de områder, som står højest på danskernes velfærdsdagsorden: sundhed, arbejdsmarked, pensionistliv og uddannelsesområdet. Dermed er bogen et væsentligt bidrag til debatten om fremtidens velfærd.
