The privatization of prisons is a highly topical and fiercely debated area of penal policy. Those in favour argue that privatization will improve the conditions and quality of regime for prisoners, reduce costs for the State and facilitate innovation. Those against believe there would be no means of ensuring accountability as to the treatment of prisoners and that it is the State’s absolute and legitimate responsibility to punish those who break the law.Privatizing Prisons makes public, for the first time, a full account of the development of the privatization of prisons, centred on the

This book presents methods for analyzing data using parametric nonlinear regression models. Using examples from experiments in agronomy and biochemistry, it shows how to apply the methods. Aimed at scientists who are not familiar with statistical theory, it concentrates on presenting the methods in an intuitive way rather than developing the theoretical grounds. The book includes methods based on classical nonlinear regression theory and more modern methods such as the bootstrap that have proven effective in practice. The examples are analyzed with the software program nls2 implemented in S-PL

This book explores how the various disciplines of law and linguistics can help us understand the nature of legal language - both oral and written - and how it might be improved and clarified. It presents and examines the most recent research and theories, along with practical guidance on how to avoid obscurity in legal drafting and legal interpretation at national level and on the international scene.The aims of the book are thus two folds. The first is to critically reach a nexus between the disciplines of law and language with respect to the debates on the use of clarity in legal discourse.
