Language for legislation and legislation through language /
No full text"This collection teaches us how language and legislation interact to produce effective laws. It brings linguistics, lawyers, theory, and practices together to show how linguistic tools, concepts, and methodologies can be applied to improve the law's clarity, transparency, and efficiency, thus widening its social reach. Drawing on case studies across Europe, chapters critically reflect on the dynamics of legislative drafting and the dissemination of legislation and the ways in which drafted legislation both creates laws and serve to communicate their meaning. The book features perspectives from national and transnational examples to demonstrate the impact of varied stakeholders-legislative bodies, law interpreters, and law enforcers - on the implementation of legislation, particularly when legislative texts are translated and interpreted across different settings. Through the lens of discourse analysis, legislative texts are analyzed in lexico-grammatical and textual terms, highlighting the disparity between what is conceived and what might be expressed clearly in words and how this knowledge can inform better drafting practices. The book charts a way forward for linguistics as a discipline to contribute to a better understanding of the nuances around effective legislative expression. This book will appeal to scholars and stakeholders working at the intersection of language and the law, in such fields as applied linguistics, forensic linguistics, regulation, legislation, and legislative drafting"-

In addition to being a roadmap on how to assess the scene and find and collect evidence, it provides an understanding of explosion dynamics or the effects caused by an explosion to include the blast radius and the impacts on people and objects in the vicinity. Evidence analyzed can also help to identify the bombmaker's biometrics (fingerprints and DNA), explosive residue, toolmarks left on device components and the identification of the initiation system components used to fabricate and explode the explosive device. With input provided over the years from working post blast investigators from the federal, state, and municipal sectors, the Fourth Edition of Practical Bomb Scene Investigation is an invaluable resource for those professionals involved in bombing investigations. From the post blast investigator, the evidence technician and laboratory examiner, the intelligence analyst, the soldier on patrol, and the public safety officer-both police officer and firefighters-as well as prosecutors, this latest edition is a "one-stop shop" to learn the methods utilized to locate and preserve evidence recovered from the post-blast scene for eventual use in a court of law"-- Provided by publisher

The appeals process in the international criminal court ::evolution through practice in the international criminal justice system /
No full text"This book presents an analysis of the model of appellate procedure before the International Criminal Court, based on both the Court's legal texts and case-law. While guiding the reader through the complexities of the Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the Regulations of the Court, the author underlines the role of judicial law-making powers in international trials. The study reflects on numerous legal and functional problems arising in the Appeal Chamber's practice, including those that have yet to be addressed by the Court. The monograph proves that while the ICC legal texts are not clear about the general shape of appellate procedure before the ICC, especially the functions of the Appeals Chamber and objectives of appellate proceedings, the model of appellate procedure has been developed through the Appeals Chamber's practice, sometimes contrary to the literal interpretation of the provisions of the Rome Statute and not in line with the expectations of the international community. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of International Criminal Justice, International Human Rights Law and Criminal Law and Procedure"-- Provided by publisher
RADICALIZED REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND THE RISE AND RESILIENCE OF THE AUSTRALIAN POLICY FOR REAL... ESTATE CARRY
No full textThis is a book about policy change that focusses on a single case study: the rise and resilience of the Australian policy for Real Estate Carry.The text tracks investments of meaning and identity in the Australian policies for Negative Gearing (1987) and the Capital Gains Tax Discount (1999), through which successive federal governments inadvertently created scope for a dangerous and inefficient Real Estate Carry Trade in the housing sector that has proven resilient to reform for a quarter century. Considering that Carry Trades inevitably create the conditions for their own collapse, the historical failure of Australian governments to achieve policy change is a serious issue for the country going forward. As they attempt to make their housing sector more stable, sustainable and equitable, Australian people may need to prepare for potentially dramatic changes to their economic and monetary system. The book also raises important implications for understanding the nature and workings of policy change in Australian politics and beyond. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of political theory, public policy and Australian politics as well as policy practitioners, third sector groups and political parties interested in Australian and international housing policy
