Hewitson Jim
Skull and Saltire : Stories of Scottish Piracy
Edinburgh United Kingdom: Black & White Publishing Limited 2005. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 6.25" x 9.25. p/b 236 pages condition is very good. PIRATES! The word is enough to send a shiver through your timbers. A nation such as the Scots with its seafaring tradition inevitably has a history of lawlessness at sea. From the earliest times shrewd sailors realised that by branching out as government agents privateers or freelance plunderers they could make more than just a living. nautical Scots played a part in the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century most notably in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean. But the story of Scottish piracy probably stretches back to Roman times and teaches up to the present day. In this exploration of a little-known aspect of Scottish seafaring Jim Hewitson hauls up the anchor hoists the Jolly Roger and takes us into some unexpected waters to meet characters such as; Kirkcudbright-born John Paul Jones founder of the US Navy hero to the Americans rogue pirate to the British; Sweyn Asleifsen an Orkney-based pirate who spent half the year as a peaceful farmer and the other as a wild sea raider; and Greenock's Captain Kidd the notorious piratical stereotype who turns out to be more of a naive fall guy than a swashbuckling adventurer. <br/> <br/> Black & White Publishing Limited paperback

Tom Richey
Kenny Richey Death Row Scot; My Brother Kenny's Fight for Justice
Edinburgh Scotland: Black & White Publishing 2005. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. 6" x 9. P/B 213 pages Condition is New. For nearly twenty years Kenny Richey has been on Death Row in Ohio for a crime he did not commit. When he left his home in Scotland in 1982 for a new life in Reagan's America he was full of hope for the future. Instead what unfolded was a human tragedy. Here for the first time Kenny's brother Tom traces exactly what went on in this compelling and deeply disturbing case. What emerges is both an intensely moving account of one man's fight to prove his innocence and a damning indictment of the US justice system. In January 2005 an appeal court overturned Kenny's conviction for murder on the grounds that there were serious legal flaws in the original trial. Yet six months later an Ohio county prosecutor opted to prolong Kenny's agony and retry him rather than give him his freedom. Kenny Richey - Death Row Scot chronicles the events that led up to this extraordinary decision. <br/> <br/> Black & White Publishing paperback

The spine of the jacket is uniformly sun-faded but all of its lettering remains clear and distinct. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp clean and unmarked. 1979. First Printing of the First Edition. Tables. Graphs. List of chapter notes. Bibliography. Index. A volume from the publisher's Studies in Crime and Justice series. Bound in the original gray cloth stamped in bright silver on the spine. From the dust jacket: "THE CRIMINALLY INSANE is the largest scale in-depth follow-up study on mentally ill criminals yet to appear. This book challenges the assumption that inmates of maximum-security mental hospitals are extraordinarily violent and questions the necessity for maintaining maximum-security institutions which currently house some 15000 persons in the United States. In 1971 586 patients were released from a Pennsylvania maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. They were not considered officially 'cured' but a federal court held that their commitments had been unconstitutional. Through exhaustive examination of hospital and police records and interviews with hospital administrators and the subjects themselves Thornberry and Jacoby assess the processes by which the patients had been retained in confinement the impact of their release upon their communities and their ability to adjust to the freedom of community life. The authors demonstrate that the patients did not display a significant level of violent behavior during confinement nor did they pose a major threat to society after release. In fact their social and psychological adjustment to community life is shown to have been comparable to that of non-criminal mental patients. Yet despite these findings the subjects had been retained in maximum-security confinement for an average of fourteen years because they were predicted to be violent and 'dangerous' to society. The authors explain this inaccuracy by a process called 'political prediction' in which clinicians avoid any potential risks to the community the reputation of their hospitals and their careers by consistently overpredicting dangerous behavior. THE CRIMINALLY INSANE will stimulate response from professionals in a wide variety of fields including law criminology psychiatry and sociology and from anyone concerned with society's responsibility to the mentally ill offender." .

Dr. Keith Ablow distills tens of thousands of pages of documents he has obtained his behind-the-camera one-on one interviews and his decades of experience in the world of forensic psychiatry to make sense of a woman whose defense attorney described as an innocent victim of childhood sexual abuse but the state insisted was a cold-blooded murderer. Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony delivers an incisive riveting way of understanding this troubled young woman. . St. Martin's Press hardcover
