This book is an ethnography of the encounter between women's words and the demands of the law in the context of adjudications on intimate partner violence. A study of institutional devices, it focuses on women's practices of resistance and the elicitation of intelligible subjectivities. Using Italy as an illustrative case, Alessandra Gribaldo explores the problematic encounter between the need to speak, the entanglement of violence and intimacy, and the way the law approaches domestic violence. On this basis, she advances theoretical reflections on questions of evidence, persuasion, and testimony, and their implications for ethnographic theory. Gribaldo analyzes dynamics that create the victim-subject, shedding light on how the Italian legal system reproduces broader conditions of violence against women. This book will be of great interest to all social scientists concerned with gender and the law.

The role of psychologists, both in the courtroom and at the crime scene, is rapidly expanding. Surveying a wide range of international court cases, "The Popular Policeman and Other Cases " the critical - and often misunderstood - intersection of psychology and law. The authors, both expert psychologists with extensive experience in the courtroom, are quite familiar with the fundamental differences between the law and psychology as an empirical science. As well as dealing with well-known and controversial issues such as recovered memories or false confessions, "The Popular Policeman and Other Cases" examines a variety of less traditional criminal topics, including illegal gambling, trademark litigation, and the perils of risky courtship behavior. Each chapter reviews an actual case, appraises the relevant scientific research, and then demonstrates how psychological insights were introduced within the courtroom. The authors conclude by noting the outcome of each case - and how their research played a role in the decision. With its detailed investigation of the complex links between psychological research and its eventual application in the courtroom, "The Popular Policeman and Other Cases" fills a critical vacancy. It is virtually impossible for researchers to make significant progress within the field of law and psychology without experience as expert witnesses in actual trials. This casebook will be essential for their studies.

Este libro es el resultado de las investigaciones realizadas, durante 2018, por la Red de Investigadores del Centro de Investigación en Política Criminal de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, y presentadas en el Congreso Internacional "Presunción de inocencia, libertad y abolicionismo", en el cual se discutieron los efectos y riesgos que tiene el punitivismo en el ejercicio de la presunción de inocencia. Esta publicación pretende generar reflexiones a partir del estudio de casos sobre distintas situaciones que se presentan en el interior de las cárceles colombianas y que atentan contra la dignidad de la población privada de la libertad, en especial la población más vulnerable: los adultos mayores, las mujeres y los indígenas, etcétera. En este sentido, es un llamado a los distintos actores –entre otros, las autoridades del sistema de política criminal, la academia, los miembros de la sociedad civil y los medios de comunicación– para que de manera introspectiva y crítica examinemos la presunción de inocencia no como un principio estático sino como un principio vivo que se manifiesta en las diferentes etapas de la política criminal y cuya mala aplicación está teniendo graves consecuencias en la dignidad de la población privada de la libertad.
