This collection brings together international experts to present a comparative analysis of wrongful conviction and criminal procedure. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach with authors drawn from a broad range of backgrounds including law, psychology, forensics and journalism. All are experts in their field with direct experience of the investigation of wrongful conviction in their own countries. Focusing on the main areas of concern in their own jurisdiction, each author discusses common themes, including: the extent of the problem; the types of cases that feature in miscarriages of justice; the legal mechanism for the correction of a wrongful conviction; compensation for the wrongly convicted; public awareness and concern about the issue generally and in light of highprofile cases; and the extent to which wrongful conviction has driven criminal justice reform. The book will be essential reading for students, researchers and policy-makers interested in comparative law, criminology and psychology.
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)

Kann ich nicht einfach alleine oder mit meinen Freunden Jesus nachfolgen und ab und zu eine Predigt auf Youtube schauen und diesen ganzen komplizierten Anhang mit Gemeinde und Kirche hinter mir lassen? Und doch ertappt sie sich dabei, wie sie leidenschaftlich dafür argumentiert, dass es sich lohnt, bewusst Teil einer Gemeinschaft am Leib Jesu zu sein - selbst wenn es oft mühsam und anstrengend ist. Denn die größte Herausforderung kann zugleich der größte Segen sein.
