Download or read book Indigenous People Crime and Punishment written by Thalia Anthony and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous People, Crime and Punishment examines criminal sentencing courts’ changing characterisations of Indigenous peoples’ identity, culture and postcolonial status. Focusing largely on Australian Indigenous peoples, but drawing also on the Canadian experiences, Thalia Anthony critically analyses how the judiciary have interpreted Indigenous difference. Through an analysis of Indigenous sentencing remarks over a fifty year period in a number of jurisdictions, the book demonstrates how judicial discretion is moulded to dominant white assumptions about Indigeneity. More specifically, Indigenous People, Crime and Punishment shows how the increasing demonisation of Indigenous criminality and culture in sentencing has turned earlier ‘gains’ in the legal recognition of Indigenous peoples on their head. The recognition of Indigenous difference is thereby revealed as a pliable concept that is just as likely to remove concessions as it is to grant them. Indigenous People, Crime and Punishment suggests that Indigenous justice requires a two-way recognition process where Indigenous people and legal systems are afforded greater control in sentencing, dispute resolution and Indigenous healing.

Book excerpt: Provides a comparison of criminal justice and juvenile justice systems across the world, looking for points of comparison and policy variance that can lead to positive change in the United States. Contributors discuss important issues such as the relationship between political change and juvenile justice, the common labels used to unify juvenile systems in different regions and in different forms of government, the types of juvenile systems that exist and how they differ, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study draws upon several thousand rape and murder trials from Natal, South Africa and the mandated territory of South West Africa (present-day Namibia) to explore the relationship between criminal law, African gender relations, and state formation under British colonial rule, the apartheid state, and the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission. The study builds upon historiography that characterizes the civil law--as embodied in customary law regimes--as a tool of racial segregation and gender inequality in that chiefs and magistrates applied customary law to Africans in a manner that contracted the legal rights of African women, while people of other races were subject to the Roman-Dutch law. This study asks whether criminal law played a similar role in advancing racial segregation. The analysis also explores whether the subordination of African women was as central to the formulation of criminal law as it was to civil law, and whether criminal law protected African women from violence by African men. The study concludes that while civil law advanced segregation, criminal law was a space of legal integration. The devolution of civil jurisdiction to chiefs helped create a segregated legal system and social order. In contrast, violent crime undermined social and state stability. The white-run courts that applied Roman-Dutch law maintained a monopoly on trying capital crimes committed by people of all races in order to maintain state stability--not out of a specific desire to regulate violence between African men and women. Therefore, African gender relations were not directly central to the formulation of criminal law. Nevertheless, trials for violence against women profoundly affected both the application of the law and the lives of African women. Pre-conceived judicial notions about African society and sexuality coalesced with the cultural defenses of African male witnesses to create an overall culture of legal leniency towards violence against women. African women were consequently disadvantaged under both the civil and criminal law.

This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 2657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several encyclopedias overview the contemporary system of criminal justice in America, but full understanding of current social problems and contemporary strategies to deal with them can come only with clear appreciation of the historical underpinnings of those problems. Thus, this five-volume work surveys the history and philosophy of crime, punishment, and criminal justice institutions in America from colonial times to the present. It covers the whole of the criminal justice system, from crimes, law enforcement and policing, to courts, corrections and human services. Among other things, this encyclopedia: explicates philosophical foundations underpinning our system of justice; charts changing patterns in criminal activity and subsequent effects on legal responses; identifies major periods in the development of our system of criminal justice; and explores in the first four volumes - supplemented by a fifth volume containing annotated primary documents - evolving debates and conflicts on how best to address issues of crime and punishment. Its signed entries in the first four volumes--supplemented by a fifth volume containing annotated primary documents--provide the historical context for students to better understand contemporary criminological debates and the contemporary shape of the U.S. system of law and justice.

Download or read book Ideology and Criminal Law written by Stephen Skinner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With populist, nationalist and repressive governments on the rise around the world, questioning the impact of politics on the nature and role of law and the state is a pressing concern. If we are to understand the effects of extreme ideologies on the state's legal dimensions and powers – especially the power to punish and to determine the boundaries of permissible conduct through criminal law – it is essential to consider the lessons of history. This timely collection explores how political ideas and beliefs influenced the nature, content and application of criminal law and justice under Fascism, National Socialism, and other authoritarian regimes in the twentieth century. Bringing together expert legal historians from four continents, the collection's 16 chapters examine aspects of criminal law and related jurisprudential and criminological questions in the context of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Nazi-occupied Norway, apartheid South Africa, Francoist Spain, and the authoritarian regimes of Brazil, Romania and Japan. Based on original archival, doctrinal and theoretical research, the collection offers new critical perspectives on issues of systemic identity, self-perception and the foundational role of criminal law; processes of state repression and the activities of criminal courts and lawyers; and ideological aspects of, and tensions in, substantive criminal law.
