Download or read book Corporate Criminal Liability written by Mark Pieth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With industrialization and globalization, corporations acquired the capacity to influence social life for good or for ill. Yet, corporations are not traditional objects of criminal law. Justified by notions of personal moral guilt, criminal norms have been judged inapplicable to fictional persons, who ‘think’ and ‘act’ through human beings. The expansion of new corporate criminal liability (CCL) laws since the mid-1990s challenges this assumption. Our volume surveys current practice on CCL in 15 civil and common law jurisdictions, exploring the legal conditions for liability, the principles and options for sanctioning, and the procedures for investigating, charging and trying corporate offenders. It considers whether municipal CCL laws are converging around the notion of ‘corporate culture’, and, in any case, the implications of CCL for those charged with keeping corporations, and other legal entities, out of trouble.
Download or read book The Criminal Responsibility of Senior Political and Military Leaders as Principals to International Crimes written by Héctor Olásolo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As shown by the trials of Slobodan Milosevic, Charles Taylor and Saddam Hussein, the large-scale and systematic commission of international crimes is usually planned and set in motion by senior political and military leaders. Nevertheless, the application of traditional forms of criminal liability leads to the conclusion that they are mere accessories to such crimes. This does not reflect their central role and often results in a punishment which is inappropriately low in view of the impact of their actions and omissions. For these reasons, international criminal law has placed special emphasis on the development of concepts, such as control of the crime and joint criminal enterprise (also known as the common purpose doctrine), which aim at reflecting better the central role played by senior political and military leaders in campaigns of large scale and systematic commission of international crimes. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the case law of the ICTY and the ICTR have, in recent years, played a unique role in the achievement of this goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El conjunto de trabajos de este volumen revela el nivel alcanzado por el fenómeno de las drogas en el mundo andino, así como su significado en términos de las relaciones de Brasil, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea con el área. Todos los ensayos indican la complejidad del fenómeno, los magros resultados de las políticas antidrogas y las frustraciones que ha producido la perpetuación de una estrategia antinarcóticos decididamente coactiva: “La guerra contra las drogas”. El presente libro comprueba que este paradigma prohibicionista debe reevaluarse.

Several semi-specialized areas relating to the legal sphere, banking and finance, administration, commerce and politics (including the politics of the autonomous regions of Spain) have been included, as well as colloquial and slang terms that have become widely used in the media. Also included are idioms, new words and words which change their meaning in a new context.

Download or read book La protecci n penal frente a los procesos extorsivos del crimen organizado en Espa a written by Carmen Jordá Sanz and published by Boletín Oficial del Estado. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro el lector encontrará una aproximación rigurosa y contundente a un fenómeno latente en España: la extorsión a empresas por parte del crimen organizado, haciendo hincapié en la protección de las víctimas. A partir de un estudio teórico desde la perspectiva criminológico-penal de sus formas de manifestación, la autora analiza la respuesta aplicada desde el Derecho Público mediante un detallado examen de treinta y un casos reales de prácticas extorsivas a empresas ocurridos en España en los últimos años. Además, se incluyen iniciativas de mejora elaboradas a partir del estudio de buenas prácticas en la respuesta italiana, país que cuenta con una mayor experiencia en su represión debido a la tradicional presencia de la mafia. Estas propuestas incluyen la adopción de medidas de tipo legal que refuercen las fórmulas de éxito en la lucha contra el crimen organizado, de tipo económico y empresarial que consideren la doble victimización de los empresarios, y de la que se deriva la idea de proteger tanto a las personas como a sus negocios, y de tipo social promoviendo la cultura de la legalidad mediante la resistencia empresarial en bloque y la implicación de la sociedad civil en el apoyo a quienes rechacen las exigencias extorsivas. La extorsión a empresas por parte del crimen organizado ha sido el objeto de investigación del proyecto europeo CEREU (Countering Extortion Racketeering in the EU) cofinanciado por la Comisión Europea del que la autora formó parte, y también el tema central de su tesis doctoral, dentro del programa de Derecho, Gobierno y Políticas Públicas de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
Download or read book Los delitos de organizaci n y grupo criminal written by Bocanegra Márquez, Jara and published by J.M Bosch. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 334 pages. 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.
Download or read book Combating Piracy written by Jay S. Albanese and published by Transaction Pub. This book was released on 2009 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Combating Piracy: Intellectual Property Theft and Fraud,Jay S. Albanese and his contributors provide new analyses ofintellectual property theft and how perpetrators innovate and adapt toshifting opportunities. The cases described here illustrate thewide-ranging nature and the spectrum of persons involved in piracy ofstolen copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents, from thesoftware industry to pharmaceuticals. The global reach of theproblem requires international remedies that include changed attitudes,public education, increasing the likelihood of apprehension, andreducing available opportunities. The contributors show that piracy isa form of fraud, a form of organized crime, a white-collar crime, acriminal activity with causes we can isolate and prevent, and a globalproblem. This book examines each of these perspectives to determine howthey contribute to our understanding of the issues involved.
