Khaki on Broken Wings

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
In the second volume of the Police Diaries series, Khaki on Broken Wings, former director general of police Amod K. Kanth untangles some of the most sensational and heinous crimes that dominated national headlines. Deploying his deep knowledge of real world crimes committed by the rich and the powerful, Kanth lays bare the loopholes within the criminal justice system, comprising the police, whose investigations are crucial to any prosecution, the courts and lawyers, and the prison and correctional services, which they exploit ruthlessly. Among the many gripping stories Kanth narrates is the story of the mafia lord Romesh Sharma, who terrorised his targets to extort properties worth hundreds of crores and thwarted investigations using his access to powerful people in the political and corporate world. He also recounts how 'Bikini Killer' Charles Sobhraj managed a sensational escape from the high-security Tihar Jail in Delhi and the complex story behind the fight for justice in the BMW hit-and-run case that left several people dead. Kanth passionately argues for the radical restructuring of the criminal justice system so that the police and the justice system are able to protect the poor, the needy and the helpless instead of being subservient to the rich and the powerful.

"Broken Wings". Bride trafficking literature and the law in China
Author:
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3389039422
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Münster (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Gender and Law, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the issue of bride trafficking in China, focusing on the interplay between literature and the legal system. Through an analysis of Jia Pingwa’s novel "Broken Wings," the study examines the social and legal challenges faced by trafficked women in China. The text delves into the demographic imbalances and cultural practices that contribute to the prevalence of bride trafficking, highlighting the lack of effective legal protections for victims. By juxtaposing literary representation with real-world incidents, such as the viral TikTok video of a chained woman, the paper underscores the brutal realities of trafficking and the systemic failures in addressing these crimes. The analysis reveals how literature not only reflects but also influences societal attitudes towards gender and trafficking. The study critiques the inadequacies in the Chinese legal system, advocating for stronger penalties and better enforcement to protect victims. Ultimately, the paper calls for comprehensive social and legal reforms to address the deep-rooted issues of gender inequality and human trafficking.
