This title is shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2013. In 1986 Kris Maharaj a British businessman living in Miami was arrested for the brutal murder of two ex-business associates. His lawyer did not present a strong alibi; Kris was found guilty & sentenced to death in the electric chair. It wasn't until a young lawyer working for nothing Clive Stafford Smith took on his case that strong evidence began to emerge that the state of Florida had got the wrong man on Death Row. So far so good
- except that as Stafford Smith argues here so compellingly the American justice system is actually designed to ignore innocence. Twenty-six years later Maharaj is still in jail. Step by step Stafford Smith untangles the Maharaj case & the system that makes disasters like this inevitable. His conclusions will act as a wake-up call for those who condone legislation which threatens basic human rights & at the same time the personal story he tells demonstrates that determination can challenge the institutions that surreptitiously threaten our freedom.

Few would dispute that we live in an unequal & unjust world but what causes this inequality to persist? Leading social commentator & academic Danny Dorling claims in this timely book that in rich countries inequality is no longer caused by not having enough resources to share but by unrecognised & unacknowledged beliefs which actually propagate it. Based on significant research across a range of fields in Injustice Dorling argues that as the five social evils identified by Beveridge at the dawn of the British welfare state are gradually being eradicated (ignorance want idleness squalor & disease) they are being replaced by five new tenets of injustice that: elitism is efficient; exclusion is necessary;prejudice is natural;greed is good & despair is inevitable. In an informal yet authoritative style Dorling examines who is most harmed by these injustices & why & what happens to those who most benefit. Hard-hitting & uncompromising in its call to action this is essential reading for everyone concerned with social justice. ...
