Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French law displays many characteristics that set it apart in a world class of its own. It can be said to proceed from a number of independent streams that coexist despite apparent contradiction. More than half of the 2283 articles of the famous Code Civile of 1804 remain unaltered; yet French administrative judges jealously guard their prerogative to create their own public law. And yet again, since the 1974 law empowering the legislature to convene the Constitutional Council that judges the constitutionality of laws under the 1958 Constitution, the courts' distinction between 'rules' and 'fu.

Book excerpt: Le droit pénal spécial est cette branche du droit criminel qui envisage les infractions séparément (par opposition au droit pénal général qui se donne pour objet l'étude des grands principes généraux applicables à toutes - ou presque toutes - les infractions), précisant pour chacune d'entre elles ses éléments constitutifs, indiquant les peines applicables et mentionnant les particularités procédurales qu'elle comporte. Suivant l'ordre de présentation du Code pénal, cet ouvrage s'attache ainsi à l'analyse des infractions contre les personnes (Titre I), contre la famille (Titre II), contre les moeurs (Titre III), contre les biens (Titre IV) et enfin contre la Nation, l'Etat et la paix publique (Titre V). Cette 7e édition est bien sûr à jour de la loi n° 2017-86 du 27 janvier 2017 relative à l'égalité et à la citoyenneté qui opère une importante modification du régime des circonstances aggravantes en matière de répression des discriminations. Sont également abordées les dispositions de la loi n° 2017-242 du 27 février 2017 portant réforme de la prescription en matière pénale et de la loi n° 2017-347 du 20 mars 2017 relative à l'extension du délit d'entrave à l'interruption volontaire de grossesse. Enfin, l'ouvrage est à jour de la plus récente jurisprudence du Conseil constitutionnel, de la Cour de cassation et de la CEDH.
Download or read book The Handbook of Comparative Criminal Law written by Kevin Jon Heller and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores criminal law systems from around the world, with the express aim of stimulating comparison and discussion. General principles of criminal liability receive prominent coverage in each essay—including discussions of rationales for punishment, the role and design of criminal codes, the general structure of criminal liability, accounts of mens rea, and the rights that criminal law is designed to protect—before the authors turn to more specific offenses like homicide, theft, sexual offenses, victimless crimes, and terrorism. This key reference covers all of the world's major legal systems—common, civil, Asian, and Islamic law traditions—with essays on sixteen countries on six different continents. The introduction places each country within traditional distinctions among legal systems and explores noteworthy similarities and differences among the countries covered, providing an ideal entry into the fascinating range of criminal law systems in use the world over.
Download or read book Droit p nal sp cial 3e dition written by Dreyer Emmanuel and published by Editions Ellipses. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cours magistral est une collection bien définie par le nom qu’elle porte. Les ouvrages de Cours magistral sont des « cours », c’est-à-dire une exposition du droit positif à l’intention des étudiants et des praticiens du droit. Mais leur cours se veut « magistral » en ce que les débats d’idées, la prise de position et une bibliographie raisonnée y sont toujours présents. Le droit pénal spécial est au coeur des études en droit pénal. Abordé en master, parce qu’il suppose la maîtrise du droit pénal général et de la procédure pénale, il permet d’entrer dans le détail des principales infractions. Le présent ouvrage est consacré non seulement à la protection pénale de la personne, mais aussi à celle des biens et de la chose publique. Les principales infractions y sont décrites et expliquées. De nombreux autres, qui sont parfois abusivement rattachées au droit pénal des affaires, y retrouvent également leur juste place (atteintes aux systèmes de traitement automatisé de données ; corruption active et passive ; favoristisme et concussion ; blanchiment ; faux ; tromperie et falsification, etc.). L’ouvrage est par ailleurs enrichi des sources constitutionnelles et européennes du droit pénal contemporain. Il s’adresse aux étudiants désireux d’approfondir leurs connaissances ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui, se destinant aux carrières du barreau, de la police ou de la magistrature, sont amenés à préparer des examens et concours où le droit pénal joue un rôle majeur.
Download or read book Organized Crime Legislation in the European Union written by Francesco Calderoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-19 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a few months after the entry into force of the EU Framework Decision on the fight against organized crime, this book provides an unprecedented analysis of the national and European legislation on organized crime. The book provides a critical examination of the European policies and legal instruments to promote the harmonization and approximation of criminal law in this field (including the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime). The current level of harmonization among EU Member States and the approximation to the standards of the new Framework Decision are discussed in detail, with the help of tables, graphs and maps. The results highlight the problems surrounding the international legal instruments and the inconsistencies of the national approaches to combating organized crime.
Download or read book Treatise on International Criminal Law written by Kai Ambos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International criminal law and justice is a flourishing field which has led, in recent years, to new international criminal tribunals and new mechanisms for investigation and holding criminals to account. These developments have, in turn, led to an increasing volume and greater consolidation of case law, and even more scholarly attention. The second edition of this volume of Kai Ambos' seminal treatise has been revised and rewritten in parts to provide coverage of recent developments in the 'Special Part' of international criminal law: namely, the specific crimes and sentencing. Amongst other updates, there are significant extensions of the discussion on sexual and gender-based crimes; the introduction of environmental crimes into international criminal law; further elaboration on the nexus requirement in war crimes and asymmetrical conflicts (e.g., ISIS); and reference to the newly introduced war crimes of the ICC Statute and of the peculiarities of cyber-attacks and other emerging activities. The volume complements Volume I of the treatise on issues relevant to the foundations, general part of international criminal law, and general principles of international criminal justice. Taken together with the other new editions of the three-volume series, this second edition provides an exhaustive guide to every aspect of international criminal law, from fundamental principles to procedures and implementation. Kai Ambos' Treatise remains an indispensable reference work for academics and practitioners of international criminal law.

Download or read book Consent written by Alan Reed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a leading contribution to the substantive arena relating to consent in the criminal law. In broad terms, the ambit of legally valid consent in extant law is contestable and opaque, and reveals significant problems in adoption of consistent approaches to doctrinal and theoretical underpinnings of consent. This book seeks to provide a logical template to focus the debate. The overall concept addresses three specific elements within this arena, embracing an overarching synergy between them. This edifice engages in an examination of UK provisions, with specialist contributions on Irish and Scottish law, and in contrasting these provisions against alternative domestic jurisdictions as well as comparative contributions addressing a particularised research grid for consent. The comparative chapters provide a wider background of how other legal systems' treat a variety of specialised issues relating to consent in the context of the criminal law. The debate in relation to consent principles continues for academics, practitioners and within the criminal justice system. Having expert descriptions of the wider issues surrounding the particular discussion and of other legal systems' approaches serves to stimulate and inform that debate. This collection will be a major source of reference for future discussion.

Download or read book Medical Confidentiality and Crime written by Sabine Michalowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical confidentiality is universally recognised as a value worth protecting. However, difficulties arise when confidential medical information becomes relevant in the context of crime prevention and criminal prosecution. Should medical confidentiality be upheld where the physician holds information which is essential for the investigation of a serious crime; for establishing the truth in a criminal trial; for an accused’s defence; or for the prevention of a criminal offence? And according to which criteria should such decisions be made? Based on an examination of different approaches in medical ethics and a comparison of the relevant law of France, Germany, England and Wales and the US, this book analyses how a balance of the competing interests can best be struck.

Download or read book The Death Penalty in Africa written by Aimé Muyoboke Karimunda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human development is not simply about wealth and economic well-being, it is also dependent upon shared values that cherish the sanctity of human life. Using comparative methods, archival research and quantitative findings, this book explores the historical and cultural background of the death penalty in Africa, analysing the law and practice of the death penalty under European and Asian laws in Africa before independence. Showing progressive attitudes to punishment rooted in both traditional and modern concepts of human dignity, Aimé Muyoboke Karimunda assesses the ground on which the death penalty is retained today. Providing a full and balanced appraisal of the arguments, the book presents a clear and compelling case for the total abolition of the death penalty throughout Africa. This book is essential reading for human rights lawyers, legal anthropologists, historians, political analysts and anyone else interested in promoting democracy and the protection of fundamental human rights in Africa.
