Bedingt durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren, wie wachsende Gefangenenzahlen,
&uuml;berf&uuml;llte Haftanstalten und steigende Vollzugskosten sind in den USA in
den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren privat gef&uuml;hrte Strafvollzugsanstalten entstanden.
Heute geht man von einem Anteil von etwa 5% privater Haftpl&auml;tze im Strafvollzugssystem
aus. Auch in Deutschland sind zunehmend Privatisierungstendenzen im Bereich
der Sozialkontrolle zu verzeichnen. Dieses Buch befasst sich einerseits
mit den Faktoren, die in den USA einer Privatisierung Vorschub geleistet
haben und untersucht andererseits parallele Entwicklungen in Deutschland.
M&ouml;glichkeiten und Grenzen einer Privatisierung im Strafvollzug in Deutschland
werden unter rechtlichen Gesichtspunkten ausgelotet und vor dem Hintergrund
eines sich wandelnden Staatsverst&auml;ndnisses diskutiert.

The Grandfathers excels at going to dark places on light feet – jokey boyish banter curdling with implacable fears. It’s clear from the off, as we open on a battlefield where panicked soldiers huddle and tumble over each other like trapped animals, that this is an anthem for decidedly doomed youth.

Praise for the Branion series &#160; &ldquo;I was hooked from the first chapter.&rdquo; &mdash;Mercedes Lackey &ldquo;Patton weaves a brilliant tapestry of loves, lusts, and loyalties.... Her characters are subtle, complex, and extremely believable.... One of the best fantasies I have read in a very long time.&rdquo; &mdash;Dave Duncan, award-winning author of the Seventh Sword series &#160; &#160;&ldquo;Takes a complex plot with tangled threads of magic and politics and deftly weaves it into a thrilling fantasy that is hard to put down.&rdquo; &mdash;RT Reviews &#160; &ldquo;Moves quickly through charming scenes.... A nice touch is the gender blending in traditional roles.... Despite a large cast of characters, they are all well developed, believable, and in most cases, extremely likeable.&rdquo; &mdash;Kliatt &#160; &ldquo;An epic tale of intrigue and battles, or betrayals and romances, of misunderstandings and magic.... Refreshingly avoids the common tropes or themes in much contemporary gay fiction.&rdquo; &shy;&shy;&mdash;Lambda Book Report &#160; &ldquo;A complex conflict full of intrigue and rousing adventures...in an increasingly engaging series about a (literally) hot-headed family and the nation they rule, in a fascinatingly distorted, yet tantalizingly familiar, alternate history.&rdquo; &mdash;Locus &#160; &ldquo;Although supernatural forces both benign and inimical abound in this tale, The Stone Prince is not about a cosmic, predestined struggled between the forces of good and evil.... The vast sweep of the novel fits well with the deeply personal perspective used in the telling.... Patton writes with clarity and conviction, rare and required qualities for a writer of epic fantasy.&rdquo; &mdash;SF Site &#160; &#160;&ldquo;Rousing adventure, full of color and spectacular magic.&rdquo; &mdash;Locus &#160; &ldquo;Patton writes in a mesmerizing fashion as she weaves uniquely engaging characters, a complicated plot, and some nifty magical concepts into a fascinating whole.&rdquo; &mdash;RT Reviews

H. L. A. Hart's Concept of Law and its Critics

“Red Gas explores the origins and development of the Soviet Union’s (natural) gas industry during World War II, and its trade with Western Europe during the Cold War. … This is the first comprehensive, archival-based study in English of this fascinating and important topic. … Overall, Red Gas does answer the questions it poses, making for informative and enjoyable reading that researchers and policy analysts of Russian energy, Russo-European relations, and the Cold War will find valuable.” (Boris Barkanov, The Russian Review, Vol. 77 (1), January, 2018)“Red Gas is organized into twelve chapters with the first and the last serving as an introduction and conclusion. … Red Gas is a timely study which highlights how local, national and international phenomenon created a truly ‘transnational’ system with a level of detail often missing from similar studies. … this book is a great resource not only for scholars of the European, Soviet and post-Soviet region but Europe more generally.” (Jacob Feygin, Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. 51 (1), 2016)". . . Russian gas exports to Europe have been the province not of historians but of energy specialists and political scientists trying to keep up with fast-moving events. The return to history is welcome. Ho¨gselius is admirably equipped for it, comfortable in several languages and as happy explaining what happened to the methane molecules and steel pipes as with events in boardrooms and embassies." - American Historical Review

"Red Gas is a fascinating study into the background and nature of Europe's energy dependency on Russian natural gas. The volume benefits from a dispassionate treatment of a commendable breadth of archival sources, producing a prime example of transnational history, rich in present-day relevance." - Slovo

"Högselius has . . . made a timely contribution to an understanding of the historical, as well as current, factors which will continue to influence future commercial relationships between the EU and Russia, as the former continues to demand natural gas imports and the latter seeks to maximise income from exports of that commodity." - Journal of Contemporary European Studies

“Wise’s book makes a useful contribution towards the erosion of the tendency towards ancestor worship of Australian soldiers of the Great War, which is too commonly the dominant theme in popular narratives; and for this it is to be welcomed.” (Jeffrey Grey, Labour History, May, 2015)

"One basic economic rule, as Mr. Rifkin points out, has not changed since Roman times: caveat emptor. In the brave new wired world, it will be ever more difficult for the buyer to beware of technology speeding forward in nanoseconds, controlled by global giants."         --The New York Times"Rifkin's vision of corporate capitalism dematerializing into webs of access of networks of 'virtual' power is startling and compelling."     --William Greider, author of One World, Ready or Not

“This nail-biting climax to the series continues to captivate readers with its edge-of-one’s-seat pacing. Armstrong’s story is full of action, romance, deception, and intrigue as well as complex characters and serious teenage issues. A satisfying addition for fans of the supernatural.”
