Book Description
The Kenyan government has credited its Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) with providing a robust counterterrorism response, thwarting dozens of terrorist plots, and arresting or killing dozens of terrorist suspects. But, in carrying out its work, the ATPU has committed a wide array of human rights abuses that violate international, regional, and domestic law. This report is based on over 40 interviews carried out by researchers from the Open Society Justice Initiative and Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI) a non-governmental organization based in Mombasa, Kenya. It includes credible allegations of extrajudicial killings, beatings of terrorist suspects, arbitrary detention, renditions, and the disappearance of at least one man by the ATPU. The report traces ATPU abuses from 2007 to the present and demonstrates that the ATPU's abuses are counterproductive to combatting terrorism and destroy the trust between communities and Kenya's security forces. At a time when Kenya is undertaking sweeping reforms to limit the police's excessive powers, the ATPU must receive greater scrutiny and oversight. ATPU officials must be held accountable for their human rights abuses, and victims must receive reparations. In addition, the new police reforms must be urgently implemented. Finally it is important that foreign security assistance does not help to fund security forces such as the ATPU that commit human rights abuses.

Book Description
State Crime and Civil Activism explores the work of non-government organisations (NGOs) challenging state violence and corruption in six countries – Colombia, Tunisia, Kenya, Turkey, Myanmar and Papua New Guinea. It discusses the motives and methods of activists, and how they document and criticise wrongdoing by governments. It documents the dialectical process by which repression stimulates and shapes the forces of resistance against it. Drawing on over 350 interviews with activists, this book discusses their motives; the tactics they use to withstand and challenge repression; and the legal and other norms they draw upon to challenge the state, including various forms of law and religious teaching. It analyses the relation between political activism and charitable work, and the often ambivalent views of civil society organisations towards violence. It highlights struggles over land as one of the key areas of state and corporate crime and civil resistance. The interviews illustrate and enrich the theoretical premise that civil society plays a vital part in defining, documenting and denouncing state crime. They show the diverse and vibrant forms that civil society takes in a widely varied group of countries. This book will be of much interest to undergraduate and postgraduate social science students studying criminology, international relations, political science, anthropology and development studies. It will also be of interest to human rights defenders, NGOs and civil society.

Book Description
“Where there are wolves, there’s war.” Letting a smirk crest the corner of my lips I gazed towards the one person who had slowly captured my heart, “that may be so… but it’s going to happen on my terms.” The year is 1952 and eighteen-year-old Ashford Wells only has one more tortuous year at Sacred Heart High left. Just one more year until he can leave the city of Lonton, and his father’s impossible legacy of being a pack Alpha. Trying to play it cool as well as keeping his head down, Ash also has to try and ignore the taunts from jocks like David Hunt about being a Casteless freak. The only problem with Ash’s ideas of leaving Lonton is that boogeyman and all-around rebel, Kenny O’Rourke’s has a different idea of what Ash’s future will look like. One that’s going to rock the very foundations of Dustland free. The Wolves of Dustland is created by Claire Wilkins, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
