Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nada más fácil que estimular el instinto de venganza de los ciudadanos. A esta tendencia no escapan ni políticos ni familiares o asociaciones de víctimas, pidiendo más penas y además penas más graves para ciertos delitos. Ese mismo impulso vindicativo animó la propuesta del Grupo Parlamentario Popular de introducir la cadena perpetua revisable con motivo de la discusión de lo que después se convirtió en la reforma del Código Penal de 2010. Pese a la presión política, finalmente la propuesta no triunfó. Recientemente el Partido Popular ha vuelto de nuevo a plantear la introducción de la prisión perpetua revisable como línea de su programa político. Pero a veces las apariencias engañan: aunque la cadena perpetua no figure con ese nombre en el Código Penal, lo cierto en que en ocasiones la pena de prisión alcanza tal duración en nuestro país, que apenas se diferencia de la cadena perpetua. El compromiso de España con los derechos humanos y con los organismos internacionales encargados de su defensa debería determinar a las autoridades a que asumieran un papel activo en la promoción de tales derechos. Este libro pretende favorecer ese compromiso. Se afirma en él que la prisión perpetua o de muy larga duración -tanto da, porque las semejanzas entre ambas son muchas- son inconstitucionales. Y no solo se afirma, sino que se fundamenta en sólidos argumentos derivados de la Constitución. No hay nada que justifique que se mantengan en España estos castigos, ya que la grandeza de un Estado se demuestra más por la justicia de sus penas que por la venganza.

Download or read book Contra la cadena perpetua written by Luis Arroyo Zapatero and published by Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La incorporación al Código penal de la cadena perpetua en la reforma de 2015 ha recibido un rechazo casi unánime por parte de la ciencia penal española, que la censura por su frontal oposición a nuestra Carta Magna al vulnerar la prohibición de penas inhumanas y degradantes (art. 15), los principios de culpabilidad y proporcionalidad, el derecho a la libertad (art. 17), el mandato de determinación de las penas (art. 25.1) y el de resocialización (art. 25.2).Este libro es fruto del debate doctrinal suscitado en el marco de la elaboración y presentación en el Congreso del dictamen sobre la constitucionalidad de la pena de prisión permanente revisable encomendado por el Grupo Parlamentario Socialista del Congreso y cuyo contenido se ha plasmado en el recurso de inconstitucionalidad presentado por éste y apoyado por todos los partidos políticos entonces en la oposición. El dictamen se acompaña de trabajos complementarios de los autores y de un cualificado grupo de profesores unidos en la censura de la cadena perpetua: Gonzalo Quintero Olivares, Francisco Javier Álvarez García, Francisco Javier de León Villalba, Nicolás García Rivas, Adán Nieto Martín, Juan Antonio Lascuraín Sánchez, José Luis de la Cuesta Arzamendi, Antonio Cuerda Riezu, Lucía Martínez Garay, María Acale Sánchez, Carlos García Valdés y Tomás Vives Antón.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sanción penal es el medio más contundente de que dispone el Estado para conseguir el mantenimiento de un determinado orden social. Por ello, el Derecho penal ha sido siempre la rama del ordenamiento más vinculada a la ideología política del sistema político de la época. El presente libro tiene la pretensión de ser un exhaustivo estudio de las penas largas y perpetuas de privación de libertad a través de nuestra legislación histórica desde los inicios de la Codificación penal hasta la actualidad. Se trata de estudiar los delitos sancionados con penas largas de prisión en cada norma y su análisis en relación al contexto político en el que esta se dicta. De esa forma se posibilita conocer si es cierta la creencia de que los gobiernos o regímenes más conservadores suelen ser más rigurosos que aquellos más progresistas a la hora de legislar en materia de sanciones muy graves. También podrá el lector comprobar hasta dónde ha estado el legislador dispuesto a llegar en cada momento para repeler los máximos atentados a la convivencia social y si ello tiene relación con la ideología del gobierno de turno. El estudio se extiende a las normas penales de nuestros días, analizando las reformas al Código penal de 1995 que han afectado a las penas máximas o a delitos castigados con penas de larga duración, llegando hasta las recientes e importantes reformas introducidas por las Leyes Orgánicas 1/2015 y 2/2015, las cuales, sin duda, suponen un notable endurecimiento de nuestra legislación penal y un incremento del número de conductas castigadas con penas largas de prisión en nuestro ordenamiento. Noelia Corral Maraver es Licenciada en Derecho y Máster en Derecho Penal y Política Criminal por la Universidad de Málaga y se encuentra realizando actualmente su tesis doctoral en la misma Universidad bajo el programa FPU del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. Sus principales áreas de trabajo son: política criminal, política legislativa penal y Derecho penal europeo. Ha realizado estancias de investigación en distintos centros nacionales y extranjeros. En la actualidad es profesora en formación de Derecho penal en la Universidad de Málaga.
Download or read book Multilevel Protection of the Principle of Legality in Criminal Law written by Mercedes Pérez Manzano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the simultaneous protection of fundamental rights by various norms and jurisdictional organs, focussing on the multilevel protection of the principle of legality in Criminal Law.Written by accredited specialists in criminal law, constitutional law, international public law, and the philosophy of law, the majority of them ex-Counsels of the Spanish Constitutional Court, it addresses various manifestations of the principle of legality: the requirement of precision, the judicial subjection to law and the prohibition of bis in idem. It does so not only from a theoretical perspective, but also through a comparative study of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union and state constitutional courts. This practical approach characterizes the book, which culminates in a detailed analysis of the relevant ECtHR Judgement Del Río Prada v. Spain on the retroactivity of unfavourable jurisprudence."Multilevel protection of the principle of legality in Criminal Law" is a useful instrument of reflection for scholars of both the principle of criminal legality and the problems that arise from the concurrency of protective jurisdictions of human rights.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's "global village", nearly 450 million people speak English while another 350 million speak Spanish. The United States alone, with its more than 22 million Hispanic Americans, is now considered by many to be a bilingual society. As the practice of law and the resolution of legal issues, to a great extent, is all about precise communication, the impact of this on legal and business professionals is obvious - Spanish/English, English/Spanish translations are fast becoming an indispensable component of any thriving law practice or business, be it a small company or a multinational corporation. Translations are now routinely required for trials, contracts, real estate and financial transactions, and in many other situations. Clearly then, the need for a comprehensive bilingual reference such as this one has never been greater. Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of more than 40,000 essential words and phrases spanning all legal disciplines and subdisciplines including construction, real estate, insurance, business, trial, environmental law, intellectual property, family law, and more. It was written by a professional translator in collaboration with an advisory committee comprising attorneys from some of the most prominent firms in the international legal community. Featuring an extremely user-friendly format, the Dictionary was designed for quick reference. It directs you instantly to the precise equivalent you need without first "rerouting" you through a maze of other irrelevant terms and phrases. Gender neutral equivalents are provided, and in cases where the nongender neutral term is the norm, both are given.Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary puts all important English and Spanish legal terms at the fingertips of attorneys, businesspeople, paralegals, and law students. It belongs on the shelves of law firms, libraries, businesses, and international agencies. It is also an essential communications tool for translators, interpreters, and civil servants.
Download or read book Criminal Law Making written by José Becerra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book intends to contribute to the consolidation of the new approach to lawmaking that has taken place in the last 20 years in legal philosophy and legal theory, spreading to other legal fields, especially criminal law. This new legislation science focusing on criminal problems has triggered a growing interest in the field, a dynamic which has led to a long-needed convergence of disciplines such as administrative law, criminal law, criminology, political science, sociology and, of course, legal philosophy to contribute to a more rational decision-making process for the construct of criminal laws. With the intention to continue on with the building of a solid “Criminal Legislation Science”, this work presents scholars, lawmakers and students various emblematic approaches to enrich the discussion about different and promising tools and theoretical frameworks.

Download or read book New Worlds written by John Lynch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary book encompasses the time period from the first Christian evangelists' arrival in Latin America to the dictators of the late twentieth century. With unsurpassed knowledge of Latin American history, John Lynch sets out to explore the reception of Christianity by native peoples and how it influenced their social and religious lives as the centuries passed. As attentive to modern times as to the colonial period, Lynch also explores the extent to which Indian religion and ancestral ways survived within the new Christian culture.The book follows the development of religious culture over time by focusing on peak periods of change: the response of religion to the Enlightenment, the emergence of the Church from the wars of independence, the Romanization of Latin American religion as the papacy overtook the Spanish crown in effective control of the Church, the growing challenge of liberalism and the secular state, and in the twentieth century, military dictators' assaults on human rights. Throughout the narrative, Lynch develops a number of special themes and topics. Among these are the Spanish struggle for justice for Indians, the Church's position on slavery, the concept of popular religion as distinct from official religion, and the development of liberation theology.
Download or read book Vienna and Versailles written by Jeroen Frans Jozef Duindam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings vividly to life the courtiers and servants of the imperial court in Vienna and the royal court at Paris-Versailles. Drawing on a wealth of material masterfully set in a comparative context, the book makes a unique contribution to the field of court studies. Staff, numbers, costs and hierarchies; daily routines and ceremonies; court favourites and the nature of rulership; the integrative and centripetal forces of the central courtly establishment: all are seen in a long-term, comparative perspective that highlights both the similarities and the distinctiveness of developments in France and the Habsburg lands. In the process, most conventional views of each court - and of court life in general - are challenged, and an alternative interpretation emerges. Finally, by relocating the household in the heart of the early modern state, Vienna and Versailles forces us to rethink the process of statebuilding and the notion of 'absolutism'.

Download or read book Colour of Paradise written by Kris E. Lane and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. For the Mughals, Ottomans, and Safavids green was—as it remains for all Muslims—the color of Paradise, reserved for the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants. Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funneled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labor regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations—how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.
Download or read book Penal Populism and Public Opinion written by Julian V. Roberts and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although criminal justice systems vary greatly around the world, one theme has emerged in all western jurisdictions in recent years: a rise in both the rhetoric and practice of severe punishment at a time when public opinion has played a pivotal role in sentencing policy and reforms. Despite the differences among jurisdictions, startling commonalities exist among the five countries-the U.K., USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand--surveyed here. Drawing on the results of representative opinion surveys and other research tools the authors map public attitudes towards crime and punishment across countries and explore the congruence between public views and actual policies. Co-authored by four distinguished sentencing policy experts, Penal Populism and Public Opinion is a clarion call for limiting the influence of penal populism and instituting more informed, research- based sentencing policies across the western world.

Download or read book Africa written by Richard Dowden and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a lifetime's close observation of the continent, one of the world's finest Africa correspondents has penned a landmark book on life and death in modern Africa. It takes a guide as observant, experienced, and patient as Richard Dowden to reveal its truths. Dowden combines a novelist's gift for atmosphere with the scholar's grasp of historical change as he spins tales of cults and commerce in Senegal and traditional spirituality in Sierra Leone; analyzes the impact of oil and the internet on Nigeria and aid on Sudan; and examines what has gone so badly wrong in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo. Dowden's master work is an attempt to explain why Africa is the way it is, and enables its readers to see and understand this miraculous continent as a place of inspiration and tremendous humanity.
Download or read book Penal Populism Sentencing Councils and Sentencing Policy written by Arie Freiberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public outcries and political platforms based on misinformation and misconceptions about the criminal justice system and current sentencing practice occur all too often in democratic societies. Penal Populism, Sentencing Councils and Sentencing Policy attempts to address this problem by bringing together important contributions from a number of distinguished experts in the field. Penal Populism presents theoretical perspectives on the role of the public in the development of sentencing policy. It places particular emphasis on the emerging role of sentencing commissions, advisory councils or panels in a number of English speaking countries: Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Scotland and South Africa. The book explains, expands and develops the existing literature that looks at public attitudes to justice and the role that the 'public' can play in influencing policy. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, Penal Populism asks the critical questions: should 'public opinion', or preferably, 'public judgment' be relevant to court decision-making, to institutional decision-making and to the political process? And if so, how?
