Selbstfahrende Autos – wie soll über Leben und Tod entschieden werden? (#philosophieorientiert)
by Norbert Paulo Lando KirchmairBrauchen wir selbstfahrende Autos, und wie sollen sie sich in Gefahrensituationen verhalten? In diesem anschaulich geschriebenen Buch gehen Norbert Paulo und Lando Kirchmair diesen faszinierenden Fragen auf den Grund. Expert:innen gehen davon aus, dass selbstfahrende Autos wesentlich sicherer sein werden als herkömmliche Autos. Dennoch wird es weiterhin Unfälle geben, auch tödliche. Die Innovation des selbstfahrenden Autos gibt uns die neue, großartige und zugleich beunruhigende Möglichkeit, im Voraus zu entscheiden, was in welcher Unfallsituation geschehen soll. Sie wird uns zwingen zu entscheiden, wer sterben muss, um andere in Notsituationen zu retten. Dieses Buch bereitet die Leser:innen darauf vor, eine fundierte Position zu den schwierigen moralischen Dilemmata im Zusammenhang mit selbstfahrenden Autos einzunehmen. Paulo und Kirchmair zeigen, dass die ethischen und rechtlichen Herausforderungen, die selbstfahrende Autos mit sich bringen, real, neu und unvermeidlich sind – und dass sie einer Lösung bedürfen. Sie diskutieren auch die erstaunlichen Diskrepanzen zwischen den bestehenden Regeln für Kollisionen mit selbstfahrenden Autos in einigen Rechtsordnungen und empirischen Erkenntnissen darüber, wie die Menschen darüber denken, wie sie reguliert werden sollten.

Selection and Decision in Judicial Process around the World: Empirical Inquires
by Yun-Chien ChangThis book empirically explores whether and under what conditions the judicial process is efficient. Three specific issues are addressed: first, disputants self-select into litigation. Do they tend to bring cases with merit? Second, filed cases differ in their social import. Do courts select more important cases to devote more resource to? Third, courts establish precedents, affect resource allocation in the cases at hand, and influence future behaviours of transacting parties. Do courts, like Judge Posner asserts, tend to make decisions that enhance allocative efficiency and reduce transaction costs? Positive answers to the above questions attest to the efficiency of the judicial process. What drive efficient or inefficient outcomes are the selections and decisions by litigants, litigators, and judges. Their earlier selections and decisions affect later ones. Eleven chapters in this book, authored by leading empirical legal scholars in the world, deal with these issues in the US, Europe, and Asia.

Selective Licensing: The Basis for a Collaborative Approach to Addressing Health Inequalities (Routledge Focus on Environmental Health)
by Paul OattIn recent years, the private rented sector has overtaken social housing to become the main housing provider with some of the worse housing conditions that are linked to preventable health inequalities. This book seeks to expand upon previous research in the area with a focus on selective licensing and enforcement, using a case study to illustrate changes in working practices that have been bought about through new powers being made available to local authorities to issue civil financial penalties upon criminal landlords. The book examines the impact of this legislation on regulatory enforcement in the London Borough of Newham’s property licensing scheme, delivered in a multi-agency partnership across its private rented sector, and the outcomes of combining the use of licensing and traditional housing inspections with use of civil penalties in alternative to prosecution to address some of the worse effects of poor housing. The study also considers the limitations of employing informal actions to address such issues as well as identifying both the barriers to collaboration and the most effective strategies for service delivery where agencies – such as the police, border agency, council tax and local planning, irrespective of inter-agency competition – work together to achieve individual and shared objectives in evolving partnerships. The findings here will be of keen interest to environmental health professionals, academics, and indeed those operating in local authorities themselves.
Selective Persecution: The Legalization of American Fascism
by Simone GoldIn the early months of the COVID crisis, Dr. Simone Gold organized doctors and social media influencers to hold a White Coat Summit in Washington, DC, and she said something that nobody expected: the disease was treatable, and the panic was killing people. This press conference in front of the Supreme Court exceeded twenty million views within eight hours, becoming the most explosive viral video of its time. Instantaneously, Dr. Gold was transformed from an anonymous board-certified emergency physician and attorney to "public health" enemy number one. As a whistleblower who sacrificed her job to save a patient&’s life, she began to appear frequently on media and speak at events across the country, peeling back the deepening layers of medical propaganda. On January 6, 2021, she was an invited guest speaker alongside several congressmen at a Capitol grounds rally with a government-approved permit. That is where this story begins. Selective Persecution: The Legalization of American Fascism weaves a narrative from Dr. Gold&’s personal experience as a frontline doctor, and her forty-eight minutes inside the US Capitol Building on January 6. The author walks readers through an array of COVID lies and corruption, the course of January 6 itself, and the unfathomable progression of fascist government abuse that followed. She endured a violent FBI raid, extreme malice and misconduct by the Department of Justice, and was sentenced to federal prison amid shocking corruption in the judiciary. She was then further persecuted by the California Medical Board, the New York Bar, congressional committees, the TSA, and was widely defamed by the press and most of the world—all for the crime of daring to speak the truth. Selective Persecution is Dr. Gold&’s chilling story about how a weaponized government can be turned against any citizen.
