In R v Jogee the UK Supreme Court did not just abolish parasitic accessory liability, it also redrew the boundaries of murder and manslaughter in situations of multi-handed acts of escalating violence. This book considers what scope remains post-Jogee for charging parties to a crime A with murder for a death (crime B) caused by one of their associates, and when a conviction for manslaughter will be appropriate instead. In Jogee, the UK Supreme Court suggested that convictions in the paradigm cases of spontaneous group violence would be based on manslaughter by unlawful dangerous act. The book will discuss whether manslaughter by recklessness or manslaughter by gross negligence are more appropriate in some scenarios, and how the principles of accessory liability can be combined so as to ground a manslaughter conviction in the first place. One problem the law currently faces is that offence elements that were shaped in the single offender context do not invariably lend themselves to application in multi-defendant contexts, and their use in typical joint enterprise scenarios might not be as straightforward as Jogee suggests. This is where the book's comparative analysis of German criminal law proves useful. German law has never known an inculpatory concept of parasitic accessory liability such as that now abolished by Jogee, but it has always faced problems with escalating group violence. The book explores how English law can learn from the German experience, including from mistakes that were made in Germany along the way. The result is an original and topical monograph that will be of great value to academics and practitioners seeking to understand the changed landscape of UK criminal law post-Jogee.

M. Sydney Park examines the key female figures in both the Old and the New Testaments, providing a key contribution to our understanding of the role of women in salvation history. This book functions not only as a major contribution to the scholarly debate, but also as a reference resource for Christian theologians and biblical scholars. By laying out out her theology of women, Park exegetically and theologically explores the importance of women in Scripture within the framework of evangelical theology. Park uses the Pauline writings as her starting point, examining them within the context of the rest of the canon. Park shows that Paul's perspective on women cannot be given exclusive authority over nor excluded from productive dialogue with further canonical writings, showing that the biblical chronicle of women discloses a critical theological role, distinct from but not incoherent to their male counterparts in salvation history.

Pick up any book on foxhunting in North America and you will find a reference to J. B. Thomas, Jr. Thomas was arguably the preeminent amateur sportsman of the Gilded Age. At one point, his kennel is believed to have contained over 1,000 foxhounds, and he and his huntsman, Charlie Carver, were invited to provide sport for rich foxhunting enthusiasts everywhere from New York and Virginia to the RockefellersΓÇÖ personal sporting estate at Overhills, North Carolina. In addition, Thomas was also an expert polo player and a competitive yachtsman. Aside from sport, ThomasΓÇÖs fascination with architecture led him to develop Beekman Place in New York. Above all, Thomas was an immensely talented writer whose book Hounds and Hunting through the Ages, published in 1928, is still thought of as one of the greatest works on the history of foxhunting. An American Aristocrat is the first biography to tell the story of this fascinating renaissance man of the Gilded Age.

Although Taiwan and Hong Kong are both Chinese societies previously subjected to colonial rule, the identity formation of the two peoples differs significantly, with Taiwan's modern consciousness underpinned by nationalism and Chinese-ness whereas Hong Kong's identity is characterised by the "in-between-ness" between Eastern/traditional/conservative and Western/modern/liberal outlooks and lifestyles. This book examines how these different identities came about. It considers the impact of Japanese and British colonial rule, explores the cultural policies implemented both in colonial times and after, and discusses fully the nature of present day identity and consciousness in the two places, including an assessment of how far governments' cultural policies are embraced and embedded.

This text will be of key interest to students and scholars in international relations theory, international law, international organizations, international political theory, European studies, and historical sociology.

It further examines the conceptual issues arising from the law itself along with the political and economic reasons for China's limited adoption of the trust in finance. The book is structured in three parts. Part one examines the history of trust practice in China before the enactment of its trusts law along with details of the drafting of the law itself. It includes a discussion of the doctrinal problems found in the code. Part two looks at trust business in China, including its uncertain economic role in society, its competition with other financial institutions in the assets management business and its ancillary functions in investment. Part three analyses the potential for trusts within the PRC's political and economic system.

During Communist rule, surveillance across Central and Eastern Europe was used primarily to secure political conformity and uphold the political regime. The profound political, economic, social and legal changes which have occurred in the region over the last 20 years, including the transition to a capitalist market economy, the introduction of private property and the denationalization and privatization of once only state owned assets and resources have led to a reshaping of attitudes towards specific surveillance practices and technologies, where private surveillance is less strictly regulated or, at least less under public scrutiny than state surveillance. Contemporary surveillance studies remain culturally biased to an Anglo-American milieu and that of ¿older¿ EU member states, despite considerable conceptual innovation. This volume fills this gap by providing insights from a part of Europe which has to date been unrepresented in the field. By analyzing and evaluating selected surveillance domains (road surveillance; public telecommunications surveillance; consumer surveillance; and border surveillance) in CEE countries from an ethical, legal and comparative historical perspective, we are better able to understand the consequences and impacts of technically enhanced surveillance practices in the region.

Northern identities in different regions, cultures and communities - particularly when constructed as foils to 'The South' - have been the focus of considerable attention among cultural historians, literary scholars and commentators, several of whom are represented in this collection. Yet despite its prominence in the discourse of north-south relations, the role of music in producing and articulating notions of northernness has not been discussed in detail. Rugged yet fragile, communal yet solitary, conservative yet radical, the real and imaginary spaces of the north have inspired many different musical responses, perhaps the most enigmatic coming from pianist Glenn Gould in his radio documentary The Idea of North (CBC, 1967): 'I've read about it, written about it, and even pulled up my parka once and gone there. Yet like all but a very few Canadians I've had no real experience of the North. I've remained, of necessity, an outsider. And the North has remained for me, a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and, in the end, avoid.' This collection represents the first extended dedicated exploration of music and ideas of north, drawing on northern English, Scottish, Canadian, Scandinavian and Finnish identities, as well as north-south dynamics in a European context, to uncover connections and contradictions in the musical experience and expression of northernness across the globe.
