Download or read book Traffic Law and Its Enforcement Sixteenth Report of Session written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Transport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3,500 people are killed on our roads each year, with a further 33,000 seriously injured. The Committee's report focuses on the role of traffic law in making our roads and communities safer, and on the role of the police and other agencies in roads policing. Issues discussed include the adequacy of traffic offences and penalties; whether the police and other enforcement agencies have the right priorities; the needs of pedestrians and cyclists; policy options to deal with dangerous drivers before they cause harm; the impact of uninsured, unlicensed and banned drivers on traffic enforcement; and the effects of administrative changes (such as the transfer of network management duties from the police to the Highways Agency) on road safety and effective law enforcement. Findings of the Committee include the need for a radical overhaul of the way serious traffic offences are dealt with, by the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts system, as well as in public attitudes towards poor driving standards. The Committee praises the work undertaken by the Department for Transport to prioritise road safety issues, and calls on the Home Office to act urgently to establish an appropriate legal framework for dealing with road offenders and ensuring our roads are properly policed.

Download or read book Criminalising Coercive Control written by Marilyn McMahon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers whether coercive control (particularly non-physical forms of family violence) should be prohibited by the criminal law. Based on the premise that traditional understandings of family violence are severely limited, it considers whether the core of family violence is power-based controlling or coercive behavior: attempts by men to psychologically dominate their partners. Such behavior can cause significant psychological, physical and economic harms to victims and is increasingly recognized as a form of human rights abuse. The book considers the new offences that have been introduced in England and Wales (controlling or coercive behavior), Ireland (controlling behavior) and Scotland (domestic abuse). It invites consideration of three key questions: Do conventional criminal laws adequately regulate non-physical abuse? Is the criminal law an appropriate mechanism for responding to the coercive control of family members? And if a new and distinctive offence is warranted, what is the optimal form of that offence? This ground-breaking work is essential reading for researchers and practitioners interested in coercive control and the proper role of the criminal law as a mechanism for regulating family violence.
Download or read book Achieving Consistency in Sentencing written by Lyndon Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sentencing Council of England and Wales has as its core aim to promote consistency in sentencing, with a developed system of appellate guidance at sentencing in addition to a narrative guidelines system which is now two decades old. As such, there is much to analyse and many lessons to be learned - for England and Wales and other jurisdictions. Consistency in sentencing is widely regarded to be an essential component of a fair sentencing system; but what does consistency mean exactly? In Achieving Consistency in Sentencing , the author maintains that consistency incorporates both substantive and procedural elements, focussing upon the proper application of principle. The notion of comparing 'like' cases is rejected as simplistic, impractical, and unprincipled. Lyndon Harris argues that a more principled approach reconciles the tension between consistency and individualised justice which has been suggested to exist. The author uses clear empirical evidence of inconsistency in sentencing to emphasize the crucial need for discretion during the sentencing exercise which, he argues, should be structured in a way that encourages sentences to be imposed in accordance with the principles underpinning the scheme while maintaining the ability to individualise sentences. Using England and Wales as a case study, this work analyses various methods of structuring discretion. The latter part of the book examines the interplay between the primary givers of guidance: Parliament, the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division), and the Sentencing Council and draws conclusions (good and bad) as to ways in which consistency can be achieved. Lyndon Harris identifies lessons to be learned while pointing out the strengths and deficiencies in the various devices used to guide sentencing judges when they are required to exercise their discretion. The book draws attention to the need for greater flexibility and structure while emphasising the work that needs to be done to address racial and gender inconsistencies in sentencing. Thus, while providing a theoretically sound critique of the concept, this monograph is of direct practical relevance to those studying or practising in sentencing systems worldwide.

Download or read book Transnational Organised Crime written by Tom Obokata and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organised crime covers a wide range of activities, including drug trafficking, illegal trafficking of people, and fraud. The existence of a land border does not impede these operations; instead in many cases it is used to their advantage. In response, law enforcement strategies must include a transnational, multi-agency approach. This book critically analyses the extent to which Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have been successful in implementing effective action against transnational organised crime. It explores the adoption of key law enforcement strategies and measures in these jurisdictions, and evaluates how regional (EU law) and international (UN Convention) standards have been implemented at the national level. Drawing on interviews with over 90 stakeholders including the Department of Justice Northern Ireland, the Department of Justice and Equality in Ireland, the Police Service of Northern Ireland and An Garda Síochána, Tom Obokata and Brian Payne discuss the factors affecting the effective prevention and suppression of organised crime, particularly in relation to cross-border cooperation. In exploring challenges of transnational crime and cooperation, this book will be of great use to students and researchers in international and transnational criminal law, criminology, and crime prevention.
