Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La delincuencia organizada constituye hoy uno de los principales desafíos a la seguridad, no ya solo de los Estados aisladamente considerados, sino de la propia comunidad internacional. El auge del sistema capitalista y de libre mercado, la apertura en Europa de las fronteras entre países, y la denominada “revolución tecnológica”, han sido circunstancias aprovechadas por las tradicionales bandas criminales, circunscritas originariamente en su actuación a concretos territorios y actividades delictivas, para fortalecerse y ampliar exponencialmente su campo de actuación, tanto en un sentido espacial como material. Conscientes de la insuficiencia de una lucha articulada exclusivamente a nivel nacional contra un fenómeno tan preocupante y que traspasa las fronteras de los países, las Naciones Unidas y el Consejo de la Unión Europea han dispuesto, entre otras medidas, la obligación de los Estados de incriminar en sus legislaciones la participación en agrupaciones estructuradas para delinquir. Los delitos de organización y grupo criminal, introducidos en el Código penal por la LO 5/2010, de 22 de junio, parecen ser la plasmación de dichos compromisos internacionales en España. Si bien es cierto que ya desde la aprobación de nuestro Código penal se contaba con una figura en principio viable para hacer frente a la delincuencia organizada común, como lo es la aún vigente asociación ilícita de los arts. 515 y ss. CP, su configuración como abuso del derecho de asociación y su historia, vinculada a la represión de la disidencia política, hacen de ella según el legislador un instrumento poco adecuado para este fin. En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis dogmático y político-criminal de los delitos de organización y el grupo criminal de los arts. 570 bis-570 quáter CP con la pretensión de aclarar cuestiones que resultan hoy controvertidas: la identificación de un contenido de injusto que legitime la incriminación de las conductas típicas -pertenecer, participar, organizar, etc.-, en cuanto anteriores a la ejecución de delitos en el marco de la agrupación delictiva; la delimitación de la conspiración para delinquir con el grupo criminal, y a la vez de este con la organización criminal; o, en fin, el grado de vinculación necesaria con la agrupación para responder como autor de estos delitos.

This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los inconvenientes surgidos en los países postindustriales, tras el fenómeno de la globalización y la integración de mercados, flujos y control de fronteras, ha sido la criminalidad organizada transnacional. Frente a ella son necesarias la utilización de instrumentos jurídicos supranacionales, y acuerdos intergubernamentales que hagan efectiva la aplicación del Derecho con las máximas garantías para los ciudadanos. No es fácil poner en funcionamiento técnicas legislativas procesales sin una calificación tasada del concepto de crimen organizado, organización criminal, criminalidad organizada, delincuencia organizada y un amplio abanico de significantes, para que no den lugar a interpretaciones arbitrarias, tendenciosas o caprichosas. La Convención suscrita en Palermo, en diciembre de 2000, defi nió, con parámetros clarificadores, el crimen organizado, no obstante países que están integrados en la ONU como, por ejemplo, algunos situados en Centroamérica, aun no se han sumado a esta corriente jurídica en sus legislaciones, para hacer valer la concreción del Derecho en su lucha contra la criminalidad. En España, siguiendo la definición meridiana y descriptiva de Naciones Unidas, se ha introducido en el Derecho Penal una tipificación delictiva relativa a las organizaciones y grupos criminales, contenida en la Ley Orgánica 5/2010, que supera lo señalado por ese Alto Organismo. Y así como la ONU sintetiza para esta delincuencia la realización de delitos, nuestra legislación lo amplía también a la materialización de faltas. Diferenciando en su apreciación y centrándose en la situación de estabilidad y permanencia de los miembros que compongan esa junta de delincuentes, para encuadrarlos en una organización o en un grupo. Hacer frente a este tipo de criminalidad procedente de organizaciones tan diversas como son las Organizaciones de Jerarquía Estándar con fuertes sistemas de disciplina interna en las que la violencia es esencial para su mantenimiento, Agrupaciones Jerárquicas o Jerarquías de Racimos donde existe cierta autonomía para los grupos que las componen, organizaciones de tipo Grupo Central con estructura plana en su sistema orgánico, los Racimos Criminales y otras; requiere un sistema procesal que ampare y potencie figuras jurídicas como el Agente Encubierto, el Agente Provocador, el Agente de Inteligencia, o el simple colaborador dirigido por la Policía Judicial, y conceda carta de naturaleza al informe de inteligencia criminal, y a otras medidas extraordinarias que puedan estar amparadas por el principio de legalidad.

Download or read book Assessing Correctional Rehabilitation written by Francis T. Cullen and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theme that has persisted throughout the history of American corrections is that efforts should be made to reform offenders. In particular, at the beginning of the 1900s, the rehabilitative ideal was enthusiastically trumpeted and helped to direct the renovation of the correctional system (e.g., implementation of indeterminate sentencing, parole, probation, a separate juvenile justice system). For the next seven decades, offender treatment reigned as the dominant correctional philosophy. Then, in the early 1970s, rehabilitation suffered a precipitous reversal of fortune. The larger disruptions in American society in this era prompted a general critique of the “state run” criminal justice system. Rehabilitation was blamed by liberals for allowing the state to act coercively against offenders, and was blamed by conservatives for allowing the state to act leniently toward offenders. In this context, the death knell of rehabilitation was seemingly sounded by Robert Martinson's (1974b) influential “nothing works” essay, which reported that few treatment programs reduced recidivism. This review of evaluation studies gave legitimacy to the antitreatment sentiments of the day; it ostensibly “proved” what everyone “already knew”: Rehabilitation did not work. In the subsequent quarter century, a growing revisionist movement has questioned Martinson's portrayal of the empirical status of the effectiveness of treatment interventions. Through painstaking literature reviews, these revisionist scholars have shown that many correctional treatment programs are effective in decreasing recidivism. More recently, they have undertaken more sophisticated quantitative syntheses of an increasing body of evaluation studies through a technique called “meta-analysis.” These meta-analyses reveal that across evaluation studies, the recidivism rate is, on average, 10 percentage points lower for the treatment group than for the control group. However, this research has also suggested that some correctional interventions have no effect on offender criminality (e.g., punishment-oriented programs), while others achieve substantial reductions in recidivism (i.e., approximately 25 percent). This variation in program success has led to a search for those “principles” that distinguish effective treatment interventions from ineffective ones. There is theoretical and empirical support for the conclusion that the rehabilitation programs that achieve the greatest reductions in recidivism use cognitive-behavioral treatments, target known predictors of crime for change, and intervene mainly with high-risk offenders. “Multisystemic treatment” is a concrete example of an effective program that largely conforms to these principles. In the time ahead, it would appear prudent that correctional policy and practice be “evidence based.” Knowledgeable about the extant research, policymakers would embrace the view that rehabilitation programs, informed by the principles of effective intervention, can “work” to reduce recidivism and thus can help foster public safety. By reaffirming rehabilitation, they would also be pursuing a policy that is consistent with public opinion research showing that Americans continue to believe that offender treatment should be an integral goal of the correctional system.

Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.

Book excerpt: Fear of Crime in the United States: Causes, Consequences, and Contradictions examines the nature and extent of crime-related fear. The authors describe and evaluate key research findings in the specific areas of methodology; gender, age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; contextual predictors; and the consequences of fear of crime. They discuss the improvement of fear of crime measures over time; the consistent finding that women are more afraid of crime; the impact of age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on fear; and the importance of environmental factors (such as witnessing crime and perceptions of diversity, disorder, and decline) and indirect victimization (through acquaintances and the media) on fear. The book also describes the physical, psychological, behavioral, and social effects of fear of crime. In the end, the authors tie the findings together to suggest important policy and research implications from the wealth of available research. There is no other book of which I am aware that so masterfully reviews empirical studies on fear of crime during the past half century to show how the research has changed and will continue to evolve. As long as there is crime, there will be perceptions of risk and fear of victimization; and Lane et al. help one to sift through the research with conceptual precision to formulate the most scientifically valid conclusions about the phenomena. The book is a hedgehog view of the research but points the way to needed research on topics such as fear of terrorism and how social context shapes perceptions of crime. The book is must-reading for those involved in research on victimization or fear of crime. - Kenneth F. Ferraro, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Aging and the Life Course, Purdue University This book consolidates the literature on fear of crime in a way that is unprecedented and that lends much-needed coherence to the area.

Download or read book From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk written by Linda J. Koenig and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk examines the relation between child sexual abuse (CSA) and adult sexual health outcomes in men and women. An emerging body of literature suggests that children who experience sexual violence are more likely to engage in sexual risk behavior and, consequently, may be vulnerable to many negative reproductive and sexual health problems as adults. These problems include unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV infection, and adult sexual violence. In this singular volume, leading researchers and clinicians integrate research from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, traumatology, and prevention science, to bridge the current scientific literatures on CSA, basic trauma research, and clinical practice. Chapters identify the theory and research-based cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral consequences of trauma that influence both sexual health and sexual risk behaviors in adulthood. The volume also highlights new approaches that begin to translate these findings into interventions for people who have experienced CSA. This comprehensive resource delineates an emerging field of research that will help set a new c
