This Element provides an overview of some of the central issues in contemporary moral psychology. It explores what moral psychology is, whether moral judgments always motivate us to act, whether what motivates action is always a desire of some kind, and what the role is of reasoning and deliberation in moral judgment and action.

On 11 August 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man had broken into her home and raped her. Within days, police - and even those closest to Marie - became suspicious of her story: details of the crime just didn't seem plausible. Confronted with the seeming inconsistencies, Marie broke down and said her story was a fabrication - a bid for attention. The police convicted her of making a false report. She was vilified as a liar. More than two years later, some 1,600 kilometres away, detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to a case of sexual assault. It bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. Galbraith contacted the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and they joined forces. Galbraith and Hendershot soon realised they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who took calculated steps to erase all physical evidence, who photographed each of his victims, threatening to release the images online if the women went to the police. After weeks of meticulous investigation, they had a name. But they also had yet another victim - a young woman whose identity was a mystery, a possible missing link. It was imperative they find her. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with those involved, A False Report is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies and a hunt for justice. It unveils the disturbing reality of how sexual assault is investigated and the long history of skepticism towards its victims. But it is also the story of two women whose determined resolve and detective brilliance finally brought the truth to light

"Soon to be the Netflix Limited Series Unbelievable, starring Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, and Kaitlyn Dever. Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists tell the riveting true crime story of a teenager charged with lying about having been raped--and the detectives who followed a winding path to arrive at the truth. On August 11, 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man broke into her apartment near Seattle, Washington, and raped her. Within days police and even those closest to Marie became suspicious of her story. The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating Marie. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the doubts of others, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie--a bid for attention. Police charged Marie with false reporting, and she was branded a liar. More than two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to investigate a case of sexual assault. Describing the crime to her husband that night, Galbraith learned that the case bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. She joined forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and the two soon discovered they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who photographed his victims, threatening to release the images online, and whose calculated steps to erase all physical evidence suggested he might be a soldier or a cop. Through meticulous police work the detectives would eventually connect the rapist to other attacks in Colorado--and beyond. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with the principals, Unbelievable is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies, and a hunt for justice, unveiling the disturbing truth of how sexual assault is investigated today--and the long history of skepticism toward rape victims.

It was supposed to be quick, easy, and cheap: the Bush administration promised American taxpayers that Iraqi oil revenues would pay for it all. But thousands of lives and billions of dollars later, the Iraqi reconstruction is an undeniable failure, overrun by staggering corruption, waste, and incompetence. In BLOOD MONEY, "top-flight investigative reporter" (Mother Jones) T. Christian Miller reveals how the Bush administration failed to keep its promises and allowed a nation to tumble into chaos. Widely hailed as one of the most important books about the quagmire, BLOOD MONEY is essential reading for anyone who cares about the fate of Iraq, and about America's place in the world.

»Ein Buch, das im Genre True Crime in der obersten Liga spielt.« (Hannes Hintermeier, FAZ) Die vielfach ausgezeichneten Journalisten T. Christian Miller und Ken Armstrong erzählen die wahre Geschichte der 18jährigen Marie, die, als sie bei der Polizei ihre brutale Vergewaltigung anzeigt, nicht als Opfer, sondern als Verdächtige behandelt wird. Die Beamten bezichtigen sie der Falschaussage und statt den Täter zu suchen, wird Marie selbst vor Gericht gebracht. Mehr als zwei Jahre später kommen zwei couragierte Kriminalbeamtinnen, die eine Verbindung zu weiteren Vergewaltigungsfällen herstellen, einem brutalen Serientäter auf die Spur und bringen am Ende die schockierende Wahrheit ans Licht. Basierend auf Ermittlungsakten und Interviews mit den wichtigsten Beteiligten, ist »Falschaussage« eine unglaubliche Geschichte über Lügen, Zweifel und den unbeirrbaren Kampf um Gerechtigkeit, die schonungslos offenlegt, wie bis heute mit sexueller Gewalt umgegangen wird – und dass viel zu oft immer noch die Opfer an den Pranger gestellt werden und nicht die Täter.
