'Imprisoning an innocent person may well be the worst thing that the state can do to one of its citizens.'Australians generally trust their criminal justice system, but most are unaware that wrongful convictions are common, are not systematically recorded and are very difficult to correct.This book seeks to document the incidence of wrongful convictions and explain the factors that contribute to them. These include the fallibility of much forensic science evidence, the difficulties for courts in understanding complex scientific evidence, and the contribution made to wrongful convictions by 'tunnel vision' on the part of those investigating and prosecuting crimes.The authors argue for two sets of reforms. First, forensic science must be placed on the firmest scientific basis possible and be independent of the police. Second, the ultimate petition to the Governor for mercy, which is a political process, must be replaced by an independent expert review agency in the form of a Criminal Cases Review Commission. Such Commissions already function as respected components of the criminal justice system in other common law countries.
People throughout the world have had different approaches to dealing with the unknown. They have confronted the unexplained in a variety of ways, including mythology and legends containing all sorts of creatures and spirits. But in the final analysis, it is the individual person who must meet the profound encounters as he or she is startled by a creepy situation and gasps while attempting to hold back screams! The 'Eerie Iron Chest' mysteries will bring chills to readers. The Eerie Iron Chest reader comes to realize that there are evil spirits out there and they have possessed people to do all sorts of horrible things as they search to reach insane goals. A heroic person must stand up to them and face up to their crushing ambitions calling on all resources while helped along the way by all sorts of spirits that provide assistance and guidance. Scary experiences abound everywhere as even nature unleashes destructive powers that assault and torture human existence. Every person, when confronted with terrifying situations that seem beyond control with their nightmarish assaults, has to reach out for assistance in order to navigate their own individual salvation.
The poems in this collection broadly reflect upon the relationship between humans, and other living things, and the rocks, water and air that are so vital for our individual and collective spirit. Most are set in a personal timeframe from childhood to the present, and some are timeless or contemplate the deep past. Much of the imagery draws on a close and visceral perception of the hills, forests, moors and rivers of the West Country, and the fells of Cumbia and the Peak District. Several draw on other places of personal significance, particularly Zambia and Hong Kong. The poems can all be taken at face value, though most have a metaphorical layer or two, or abstractions that are just out of sight of the obvious, for those who like to delve. In each section the poems are ordered with a rough chronology to lend the reader enough structure, though none of the pieces is dependent on that arrangement. The majority were written in 2021-23 and most have not been published previously. The author is a semi-retired doctor and clinical scientist who lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

In the second Domesticated instalment, East Anglian punk poet, James Domestic, is once again taking potshots at work, so-called-punk-rock, outdoor and indoor pursuits, aging, right wing lunatics, politics, feet, and himself. As if that wasn't enough, you'll also find his trademark surrealism, sarcasm, and quintessentially British whimsy applied to animals, emails, food, and the power of music, alongside his idiosyncratic illustrations, and photographs from his murky past. A man in too many bands to count, a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, and a punk. James Domestic failed miserably at school through the distractions of music, alcohol, and girls, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD. A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride."A sardonic, sarcastic wit, a penchant for the surreal, and a dynamic pace" (Nathan Brown, Louder Than War) "Words that bite, belch, and bleed in their brilliance" (Mark Grist, multi-award-winning poet and battle rapper) "A unique collection of poetic ventures into the human condition, with humour, anger, and a canny use of language: inspired and inspiring!" (Dick Lucas, Subhumans, Culture Shock etc.) "Relentless" (Attila the Stockbroker, social surrealist poet and songwriter)
