Den 8 november 1994 döms Joy Rahman till livstids fängelse av Stockholms Tingsrätt för mordet på en kvinnlig vårdtagare. Under åtta års tid avtjänar den hemstjänstanställde ett straff för ett mord han inte begått. Tvivelaktigheter kring fallet uppdagas och med hjälp av yttre sympatisörers ansträngningar frias Rahman den 19 april 2002 och tilldöms ett skadestånd. "Ofriheten, och därmed också friheten, ska få en prislapp. Genom att hans lidande graderas i pengar värderas också det han har gått miste om. Hur mycket är det värt att vara fri en dag som denna? Vad är det värt att se marssolen smälta snöhögar i centrala Stockholm och som en fri man kunna kryssa över ...

Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg Larsson. In "There Are Things I Want You to Know" About Stieg Larsson and Me, Gabrielsson accepts the daunting challenge of telling their story, steeped in love and sharpened in the struggle for justice and human rights. She chooses to tell it in short, spare, lyrical chapters, like snapshots, regaling Larsson's readers with how he wrote, why he wrote, who the sources are were for Lisbeth and his other characters—graciously answering Stieg Larsson's readers' most pressing questions—and at the same time telling us the things we didn't know we wanted to know—about love and loss, death, betrayal, and the mistreatment of women.
The treatment of victims and complainants by the police is examined in this pioneering new work. Case studies, based on interviews carried out at the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, in the United Kingdom, reveal that victims and complainants are routinely discredited by police agencies. Whilst in the United States, victims may include anyone subjected to police interrogation, particularly those of African-American origin, complainants across the globe may include victims of rape, bereaved families, and individual officers. The reason why certain victims and complainants are targeted by policing agencies is complex and leads to an investigation into police ...
Till mitt försvar är berättelsen om hur Sargon De Basso, trots bottenbetyg på juristlinjen och ett åtal som kunde ge honom fängelse, nådde toppen och blev en av landets mest kontroversiella försvarsadvokater. I dag företräder han kända skådespelare, yrkeskriminella och toppskiktet i den nazistiska organisationen NMR. I boken berättar han om varför han väljer att försvara de som samhället föraktar och om en lång rad fall som gått in i svensk rättshistoria, som Joy Rahman, Mikael Persbrandt mot tidningen Expressen och livsödet Samir Sabri. Till mitt försvar är en djupdykning in i advokatyrket och skildrar rättegångarnas inre skådespel. Boken är skriven tillsammans med journalisten Peter Johansson som varit chefredaktör för flera branschtidningar om juridik, till exempel Legally yours och Dagens Juridik.
Saga VEM FAN ÄR DU? skildrar Peter Althins resa från uppväxten och ungdomsåren i Lund till livet som en av Sveriges mest omskrivna och anlitade brottmålsadvokater. Vi får följa några av vår tids mest uppmärksammade rättegångar och ta del av kampen för rättvisa i såväl domstolar som i den kriminalpolitiska debatten. Men här finns också en annan och hittills okänd kamp. I boken berättas hur den framgångsrika advokatens rädsla för att misslyckas blev så stark att den fick honom att avsluta sin karriär. Peter Althin var under flera år även politiskt aktiv som KD:s talesperson i kriminalpolitiska frågor. Vad var det som fick honom att träda in på den politiska arenan...
WHO IS STIEG LARSSON? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The Girl Who Played with Fire. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. In 2005, Lisbeth Salander exploded as a cultural icon, captivating fans around the world, first in the bestselling suspense novels and later in the film adaptations. But what of her creator? Stieg Larsson—the man behind the Millennium Trilogy phenomenon— died tragically of a heart attack on the eve of the first book’s publication, leaving a brilliant legacy soon shrouded in mystery and controversy. Now, fellow journalist and activist Kurdo Baksi—who worked closely with Larsson for a decade and appears as himself in Larsson’s fiction—presents a heart-pierc...
The poignant account of the 30-year life shared together by Stieg Larsson and Eva Gabrielsson. There is only one person who can tell Stieg Larsson's story other than himself - his lifelong companion and muse, Eva Gabrielsson. Here she tells the story of their 30-year romance, of Stieg's upbringing and early years, and how this shaped his morals and personality. She talks of his life-long struggle to expose Sweden's Neo-Nazis, of his struggle to keep the magazine he founded, Expo, alive, his difficult relationships with his immediate family, and the joy and relief he discovered writing The Millennium trilogy. Their story is told as a series of short vignettes, and Eva Gabrielsson speaks with rare candour and dignity, inspired only by the truth as she knows it. This book is poignant in its account of two soulmates and the life they shared, and most importantly is deeply insightful into the man everyone wants to know better, and about whom so little is known.
Det er snart midsommer og ferietid, så en vis ro burde indfinde sig hos Rigskriminalpolitiets specialenhed for voldskriminalitet med internationale aspekter, bedre kendt som A-gruppen. Men i stedet bliver det den mest intense uge i A-gruppens historie, for en byge af ejendommelige voldsforbrydelser skyller ind over Stockholm: En polsk sygeplejerske bliver øksemyrdet, en tv-programchef skudt efter premieren på en ny dokusoap, et planlagt ‘æresdrab’ tager en uventet drejning, et lig driver i land og vender op og ned på alting. Og til sidst bliver det alt sammen meget personligt. I EN SKÆRSOMMERNATSDRØM, sjette bind i Arne Dahls mesterlige serie om A-gruppen, blander magisk erotik sig med dødsensfarlig legesyge.
