Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law on criminal procedure in Kenya has tremendously changed after the Constitution of Kenya of 2010. New institutions with an impact on the criminal process such as the National Police Service, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Supreme Court were created. Certain rights that were hitherto unavailable were entrenched in the constitution, including the right to bail irrespective of the offence and the right to legal representation. The superior courts have had a busy time in the interpretation of the current law, and groundbreaking jurisprudence has emerged. There is no doubt that the study of criminal procedure has significantly changed. This book covers all important aspects of criminal procedure, taking into consideration the changes brought about by the Constitution of 2010. It fills a void created by the lack of updated texts on the law of criminal procedure. It utilizes simple, easy-to-understand language and makes reference to both local and international case law. This book will prove to be an invaluable companion to students of criminal procedure, legal practitioners, researchers, and the general public.

This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, Moi University, language: English, abstract: This research examines the legal framework for governing sexual consent and accessing whether it has been successful or not. This research will also propose reforms on the legal framework governing sexual consent for the strengthening of laws on sexual offenses in Kenya. Sexual offenses remain a major challenge that Kenya is facing today. Sexual offenses have adverse effects of derailing not only ones legal, social and economic development but also that of the country as a whole. There is a high prevalence of gender‐based violence in Kenya. Sexual violence takes many forms, including rape, sexual assault, defilement, incest, and many others. This type of violence is a reflection of gender inequality in a society where mostly men exercise power over women and girls. The Sexual Offenses Act, 2006 was passed in order to deal with the problem of sexual violence since sexual offenses were previously governed by the Penal Code.

Download or read book The Post Election Violence in Kenya written by Sosteness Francis Materu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the historic Nuremberg Trial of 1945 an international customary law principle has developed that commission of a core crime under international law – war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and aggression – should not go unpunished. History shows, that when in Africa such violations occurred, especially as a result of election disputes, national and regional actors, including the African Union, resorted to political rather than legal responses. However, when crimes against humanity were alleged to have been committed in Kenya during the 2007-2008 post-election violence, a promising road map for criminal accountability was agreed upon alongside a political solution. In the spirit of this road map, the author analyzes the post-election violence in Kenya from a legal point of view. He extensively examines legal options for domestic criminal accountability and discusses both retributive (prosecutions) and restorative justice (mainly truth commission) mechanisms, being the main legal responses to the gross violations of human rights. Furthermore, he thoroughly investigates the Kenya situation before the ICC and the legal-cum-political responses to the ICC intervention in Kenya. Practitioners and academics in the field of international criminal law and related disciplines, as well as political sciences and (legal) history will find in this book highly relevant information about alternative legal approaches of the fight against and punishment of crimes against humanity, as defined under the ICC Statute.
