Julia Shaw

    1 januari 1987

    Julia Shaw duikt in de complexe wisselwerking tussen psychologie en recht, met een bijzondere focus op misdaad en geheugen. Haar werk onderzoekt kritisch hoe de menselijke geest herinneringen aan gebeurtenissen construeert en bewaart, vooral die van traumatische aard. Shaw hanteert een interdisciplinaire aanpak en verweeft inzichten uit de psychologie met juridische overwegingen over menselijk gedrag. Ze streeft ernaar de lezers te verhelderen over de ingewikkelde mechanismen van het menselijk geheugen en de diepgaande impact ervan op onze perceptie van rechtvaardigheid.

      Tatort Erde – die größten Umweltverbrechen unserer Zeit Morde im Regenwald, Abgasbetrug in der Autobranche, Wilderer-Syndikate in Afrika – Bestsellerautorin und Kriminalpsychologin Julia Shaw enthüllt die Mechanismen ökologischer Verbrechen. Eine fesselnde Reise in kriminelle Abgründe, die uns alle angehen. Wer steckt hinter der Umweltzerstörung, die unsere Zukunft bedroht? Wie rechtfertigen die Täter ihr Handeln? Und vor allem: Was können wir dagegen tun? Julia Shaw taucht ein in die Welt der Umweltkriminalität und zeigt, dass verbrannte Wälder, vergiftete Ozeane und Schadstoffe in der Luft oft ungeahndet bleiben. Anhand großer Umweltverbrechen untersucht sie die Psyche der Täter, erklärt, wie Menschen zu Umweltzerstörern werden, und beleuchtet die Dynamiken, die dies Verbrechen ermöglichen. Untermauert von brisantem Insiderwissen engagierter Ermittler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus aller Welt zeigt sie eindrucksvoll, dass der Kampf gegen die Klimakatastrophe mehr erfordert als gute Absichten. Sie legt konkret dar, wie Umweltverbrechen im Vorfeld verhindert und Täter konsequent zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden können.

    • What is it about evil that we find so compelling? From our obsession with serial killers to violence in pop culture, we seem inescapably drawn to the stories of monstrous acts and the aberrant people who commit them.   But evil, Dr. Julia Shaw argues, is all relative, rooted in our minds and our unique cultures. What one may consider normal, like sex before marriage, eating meat, or being a banker, others find abhorrent. And if evil is only in the eye of the beholder, can it be said to exist at all?   In Evil, Shaw uses case studies and examples from academia and popular culture and anecdotes from everyday life to break down complex information and concepts like the neuroscience of evil, the psychology of bloodlust, and workplace misbehavior. This is a wide-ranging exploration into a fascinating, darkly compelling subject.

      Think you have a good memory? Think again. Memories are our most cherished possessions, shaping our identities and guiding our daily lives. However, they are not the accurate records of the past we believe them to be. We all experience occasional lapses, like forgetting why we entered a room or struggling to recall a familiar name. But what if our minds are capable of more significant errors, allowing for the manipulation or even fabrication of our memories? In this exploration, forensic psychologist and memory expert Dr. Julia Shaw presents the latest research on how our brains can be misled. She reveals that we can misappropriate others' memories, believing them to be our own. Shaw illustrates how innocent individuals can be wrongfully imprisoned based on a single confession amidst numerous denials. She also discusses how radically false memories can be implanted, leading people to believe they experienced events that never occurred. Despite these unsettling revelations, she offers hope, suggesting that we can enhance our memory by becoming aware of its fallibility. This thought-provoking examination challenges readers to reconsider how well they truly know themselves.
