This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orión Vargas Vélez aborda en este libro los medios de prueba que son propuestos, ordenados y practicados en la actividad probatoria del proceso judicial. Medios de prueba que son evaluados por el juez de forma individual y conjunta, atendiendo a las reglas de la sana crítica. La valoración que realiza el juez le sirve para extraer conclusiones y tomar una decisión. En consecuencia, la extracción de conclusiones exige, por parte del juez, el reconocimiento y la consideración de diversas sutilezas probatorias que este estudio trata de dar a conocer. De la mano de dos obras clásicas, la del filósofo británico L. J. Cohen, The Probable and the Provable, y la del profesor en Derecho e Ingeniería, David A. Schum, The Evidential Foundations of Probabilistic Reasoning, Orión Vargas nos ilustra y nos guía de forma extraordinaria por el camino del razonamiento inductivo y de las llamadas cadenas de razonamiento, que ayudan a discernir si un medio de prueba (mp) es o no es pertinente, creíble y/o puede asignársele un determinado peso o fuerza probatoria en la valoración individual del mismo. Para lo cual se incluyen en este libro diversos ejemplos en torno a la actividad médica, la materia penal, el derecho administrativo y la materia laboral. En palabras del Lorenzo M. Bujosa-Vadell: «El lector tiene entre las manos una obra que contribuye a un entendimiento más ordenado de esa misión trascendental por la que se fundamentan decisiones que van a operar sobre la vida y la hacienda de todos los sujetos jurídicos» (prefacio).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los estudios que componen este trabajo forman parte del capítulo de reflexiones sobre la prueba que he venido realizando a lo largo de los últimos quince años. Los temas que abarcan son muy variados, aunque todos ellos están unidos por una línea argumental común: no es asumible una concepción puramente irracional o subjetiva del juicio de hecho, ni es tampoco aceptable una visión ingenua, acrítica o mecanicista del mismo. Lo primero, porque el juicio de hecho (o la valoración de la prueba, que es su núcleo esencial) no puede contemplarse como un modo libérrimo de construcción de una verdad procesal ajena al control de los hechos. Lo segundo, porque dicho juicio está sometido a serias limitaciones epistémicas e institucionales que hacen que sus resultados no puedan ser aceptados como incontrovertibles sino sólo como probables, por más alta que esta probabilidad pueda ser. Simplemente, el juicio de hecho es tan problemático o más que el juicio de derecho; es un ámbito de esencial incertidumbre y no de certezas incuestionables; es, en definitiva, el espacio de ejercicio del poder judicial menos reglado y donde en consecuencia el juez puede ser más arbitrario. Es precisamente la conciencia de ese inmenso poder que el juez administra lo que auspicia algún tipo de control sobre la libre valoración. Si así no fuese, la valoración más que libre sería libérrima, subjetiva e incontrolable ( íntima o en conciencia , en la sorprendente terminología al uso), con lo cual se abandonaría la racionalidad para entrar en el campo del puro decisionismo judicial. Un mínimo compromiso con el constitucionalismo exige dotar de racionalidad ese espacio de la decisión judicial tantas veces opaco a cualquier control.

Book excerpt: Sweeping in scope, penetrating in analysis, and generously illustrated with examples from the history of science, this new and original approach to familiar questions about scientific evidence and method tackles vital questions about science and its place in society. Avoiding the twin pitfalls of scientism and cynicism, noted philosopher Susan Haack argues that, fallible and flawed as they are, the natural sciences have been among the most successful of human enterprises-valuable not only for the vast, interlocking body of knowledge they have discovered, and not only for the technological advances that have improved our lives, but as a manifestation of the human talent for inquiry at its imperfect but sometimes remarkable best. This wide-ranging, trenchant, and illuminating book explores the complexities of scientific evidence, and the multifarious ways in which the sciences have refined and amplified the methods of everyday empirical inquiry; articulates the ways in which the social sciences are like the natural sciences, and the ways in which they are different; disentangles the confusions of radical rhetoricians and cynical sociologists of science; exposes the evasions of apologists for religious resistance to scientific advances; weighs the benefits and the dangers of technology; tracks the efforts of the legal system to make the best use of scientific testimony; and tackles predictions of the eventual culmination, or annihilation, of the scientific enterprise. Writing with verve and wry humor, in a witty, direct, and accessible style, Haack takes readers beyond the "Science Wars" to a balanced understanding of the value, and the limitations, of the scientific enterprise.
Download or read book Creationism and Its Critics in Antiquity written by David Sedley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-01-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Download or read book Assessing Correctional Rehabilitation written by Francis T. Cullen and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theme that has persisted throughout the history of American corrections is that efforts should be made to reform offenders. In particular, at the beginning of the 1900s, the rehabilitative ideal was enthusiastically trumpeted and helped to direct the renovation of the correctional system (e.g., implementation of indeterminate sentencing, parole, probation, a separate juvenile justice system). For the next seven decades, offender treatment reigned as the dominant correctional philosophy. Then, in the early 1970s, rehabilitation suffered a precipitous reversal of fortune. The larger disruptions in American society in this era prompted a general critique of the “state run” criminal justice system. Rehabilitation was blamed by liberals for allowing the state to act coercively against offenders, and was blamed by conservatives for allowing the state to act leniently toward offenders. In this context, the death knell of rehabilitation was seemingly sounded by Robert Martinson's (1974b) influential “nothing works” essay, which reported that few treatment programs reduced recidivism. This review of evaluation studies gave legitimacy to the antitreatment sentiments of the day; it ostensibly “proved” what everyone “already knew”: Rehabilitation did not work. In the subsequent quarter century, a growing revisionist movement has questioned Martinson's portrayal of the empirical status of the effectiveness of treatment interventions. Through painstaking literature reviews, these revisionist scholars have shown that many correctional treatment programs are effective in decreasing recidivism. More recently, they have undertaken more sophisticated quantitative syntheses of an increasing body of evaluation studies through a technique called “meta-analysis.” These meta-analyses reveal that across evaluation studies, the recidivism rate is, on average, 10 percentage points lower for the treatment group than for the control group. However, this research has also suggested that some correctional interventions have no effect on offender criminality (e.g., punishment-oriented programs), while others achieve substantial reductions in recidivism (i.e., approximately 25 percent). This variation in program success has led to a search for those “principles” that distinguish effective treatment interventions from ineffective ones. There is theoretical and empirical support for the conclusion that the rehabilitation programs that achieve the greatest reductions in recidivism use cognitive-behavioral treatments, target known predictors of crime for change, and intervene mainly with high-risk offenders. “Multisystemic treatment” is a concrete example of an effective program that largely conforms to these principles. In the time ahead, it would appear prudent that correctional policy and practice be “evidence based.” Knowledgeable about the extant research, policymakers would embrace the view that rehabilitation programs, informed by the principles of effective intervention, can “work” to reduce recidivism and thus can help foster public safety. By reaffirming rehabilitation, they would also be pursuing a policy that is consistent with public opinion research showing that Americans continue to believe that offender treatment should be an integral goal of the correctional system.

Book excerpt: Fear of Crime in the United States: Causes, Consequences, and Contradictions examines the nature and extent of crime-related fear. The authors describe and evaluate key research findings in the specific areas of methodology; gender, age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; contextual predictors; and the consequences of fear of crime. They discuss the improvement of fear of crime measures over time; the consistent finding that women are more afraid of crime; the impact of age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on fear; and the importance of environmental factors (such as witnessing crime and perceptions of diversity, disorder, and decline) and indirect victimization (through acquaintances and the media) on fear. The book also describes the physical, psychological, behavioral, and social effects of fear of crime. In the end, the authors tie the findings together to suggest important policy and research implications from the wealth of available research. There is no other book of which I am aware that so masterfully reviews empirical studies on fear of crime during the past half century to show how the research has changed and will continue to evolve. As long as there is crime, there will be perceptions of risk and fear of victimization; and Lane et al. help one to sift through the research with conceptual precision to formulate the most scientifically valid conclusions about the phenomena. The book is a hedgehog view of the research but points the way to needed research on topics such as fear of terrorism and how social context shapes perceptions of crime. The book is must-reading for those involved in research on victimization or fear of crime. - Kenneth F. Ferraro, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Aging and the Life Course, Purdue University This book consolidates the literature on fear of crime in a way that is unprecedented and that lends much-needed coherence to the area.
