Judge Jury And Executioner

.

This book explores justice in the age of artificial intelligence. It argues that current AI tools used in connection with liberty decisions are based on utilitarian frameworks of justice and inconsistent with individual fairness reflected in the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence. It uses AI risk assessment tools and lethal autonomous weapons as examples of how AI influences liberty decisions. The algorithmic design of AI risk assessment tools can and does embed human biases. Designers and users of these AI tools have allowed some degree of compromise to exist between accuracy and individual fairness.Written by a former federal judge who lectures widely and frequently on AI and the justice system, this book is the first comprehensive presentation of the theoretical framework of AI tools in the criminal justice system and lethal autonomous weapons utilized in decision-making. The book then provides a comprehensive explanation as to why, tracing the evolution of the debate regarding racial and other biases embedded in such tools. No other book delves as comprehensively into the theory and practice of AI risk assessment tools..

Disillusioned with a dystopian society a young teenager takes the law into his own hands to avenge his soulmate. But at what price? What would you do for love? Or rather: What wouldn't you do? When Nathan loses Anna — his vibrant, bursting-with-life soulmate, the one girl who completes him — to depression and despair following a vicious rape, he vows revenge against the trio of scumbags involved. Rather than waiting for a justice system he doesn’t believe in to act, he becomes Judge, Jury, Executioner. He hunts down the rapist and those who aided and abetted him hoping this will bring the Anna of old back to him. Instead, much to Nathan’s shock and pain, it has the opposite effect, driving her even further towards a dangerous precipice. Will true love be enough to set things right? One thing’s for sure: no matter what happens, true love is forever. Mitchell P. Jones presents the reader with Nathan’s cold, clear-eyed view of the world and all its faults, a place that hardly has room for love. But, in this world, it is love in the end that rises above all else, turning the coal of daily life into a sparkling diamond..

Gabriel Gifford never aspired to anything other than to survive in an inhospitable and dangerous world. In the beginning years of the 1860s, a young man had few options to call his own, as serving the cause took every acceptable precedent. Accepting his station in life, he joined the federal army and ended up serving most of the war as a prisoner. Upon returning to his roots, he discovered that everything that he had ever known had changed and that this family, thinking he was a war casualty, had moved on. His wife was married to his best friend and, seeing that he could do nothing to change anything for the better, decided to walk away. He could only come to a single conclusion and that would be to travel west and disappear into the vast wilderness as was the calling for so many others. He crossed into Missouri on the Saint Louis ferry in July 1865 and by the fall was already making his mark. He had no clue as to his calling when he set foot on dry land, but that calling came to him with a vengeance. Missouri was still quite lawless and under martial law at that time and desperate for someone to step up, anyone willing to risk it all, to possibly begin the process of restoring order to a society near chaos. This is the story of that man. He swore allegiance, and just like that became a Federal United States Marshal with all the power afforded to that office, and he didn't have to go looking for trouble. It found him..

Throughout the Western world, the law of self-defence allows a citizen to use reasonable force to protect him or herself, or another, or their residential property. This force can be deadly. A different standard applies to the defence of chattels. Rules also impose duties to use only such force as is necessary and to retreat or call for assistance if possible. But totally innocent citizens can be caught in a situation where the law entitles them to be judge, jury and executioner all within the space of a nano second.This novel explores themes of self-defence and criminal behaviour. It is set against the background of a series of law lectures at Otago University and explores six different fact scenarios involving violent deaths in Dunedin (NZ), Warwick (England), Flagstaff (Arizona), Melbourne, Auckland and Chicago. The main character is Detective Inspector Simon Essex of the New Zealand police. He holds a law degree and has had some court experience within the chambers of the London barrister. He seeks the approval of the New Zealand Commissioner of Police to undertake a one-year LLM course at Cambridge University in England. The death scenes and the subsequent trials are deadly.The legal principles explored within six homicides are:*Defence of yourself. *Defence of another. A baby in a neighbour's arms.*Defence of a dwelling house. Against an arsonist.*Defence of any chattel - a much beloved pet. *Battered women's syndrome - the pre-emptive strike. *Torture as a defence of countless unknown others. The "ticking bomb"..

Much of Tennessee Williams' work features mentally ill characters; his devotion to and interest in the subject has led to the composition of many plays that highlight the humanity of the insane, rather that caricaturize them with the usual stereotypes. In Suddeny Last Summer, Williams challenges the social stigmas most " normal" people attach to madness. Throughout the course of the action, the lines dividing sane and insane, normate and non-normate, gradually blur disrupting the audience's social equilibrium. By undermining presumed viewer prejudices toward the mentally ill, Wiliams creates the opportunity for redrawing the social boundaries of exclusion and inclusion..
