Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While worldwide crime is declining overall, criminality in Latin America has reached unprecedented levels that have ushered in social unrest and political turmoil. Despite major political and economic gains, crime has increased in every Latin American country over the past 25 years, currently making this region the most crime-ridden and violent in the world. Over the past two decades, Latin America has enjoyed economic growth, poverty and inequality reduction, rising consumer demand, and spreading democracy, but it also endured a dramatic outbreak of violence and property crimes. In More Money, More Crime, Marcelo Bergman argues that prosperity enhanced demand for stolen and illicit goods supplied by illegal rackets. Crime surged as weak states and outdated criminal justice systems could not meet the challenge posed by new profitably criminal enterprises. Based on large-scale data sets, including surveys from inmates and victims, Bergman analyzes the development of crime as a business in the region, and the inability-and at times complicity-of state agencies and officers to successfully contain it. While organized crime has grown, Latin American governments have lacked the social vision to promote sustainable upward mobility, and have failed to improve the technical capacities of law enforcement agencies to deter criminality. The weak state responses have only further entrenched the influence of criminal groups making them all the more difficult to dismantle. More Money, More Crime is a sobering study that foresees a continued rise in violence while prosperity increases unless governments develop appropriate responses to crime and promote genuine social inclusion.
Download or read book Crime Violence and Justice in Latin America written by Carlos Solar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why crime and violence persist in Latin America at extreme levels and why the states have not been able to more effectively solve this problem that dominates the lives of many millions of Latin Americans. Informed by diverse disciplinary backgrounds, the book brings together a team of regional experts to discuss research-based explanations on some of Latin America’s most pressing criminal and violent issues distressing the rule of law. First, it examines old and new forms of observing crime upon perpetrators and victimized communities. Second, it explores the geographies of urban and rural violence and the entangled politics following organized criminality. Third, it questions how the transfer of policy knowledge and expertise reshapes local security governance, and, more importantly, critically examines the problems in implementing foreign models and paradigms in the Latin American context. Finally, it exposes the everchanging scenario of policy-making and prosecuting crime and homicide. Crime, Violence, and Justice in Latin America provides new themes and novel trends on what crime and violence mean in the eyes of observers, perpetrators, policymakers, governmental officials, and victims. It is an important acquisition for policy makers and academics alike.
Download or read book Victims Rights in Flux Criminal Justice Reform in Colombia written by Astrid Liliana Sánchez-Mejía and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributing to the literature on comparative criminal procedure and Latin American law, this book examines the effects of adversarial criminal justice reforms on victim’s rights by specifically analyzing the Colombian criminal justice reform of the early 2000s. This research focuses on the production, interpretation, and implementation of rules and institutions by exploring how different actors have employed the concept of victims and victims’ rights to promote their agendas in the context of criminal justice reforms. It also analyzes how the goals of these agendas have interplayed in practice. By the early 2000s, it seemed that the Colombian criminal justice system was headed towards a process characterized by broader victim participation, primarily because of the doctrine of the Constitutional Court on victims’ rights. But in 2002, the Colombian Attorney General promoted a more adversarial criminal justice reform. This book argues that this reform represented a sudden and unpredicted reversal of the Constitutional Court’s doctrine on victim participation, even though one of the central justifications for the reform was the need to satisfy human rights standards and adhere to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court on victims’ rights. In the criminal justice reform of the early 2000s and its subsequent modifications, the promotion of a dichotomous interpretation of the adversarial model—which conceived the criminal process as a competition between prosecution and defense—served to limit victim participation. This study examines how conceptions of victims’ rights emerged out of the struggles between different and at times competing agendas. In the Colombian process of reform, victims’ rights have been invoked both as a justification for criminal sanctions and as an explanation for crime prevention and restorative justice. After assessing quantitative and qualitative data, this book concludes that punitive approaches to victims’ rights have prevailed over restorative justice perspectives. Furthermore, it argues that punitiveness in the criminal justice system has not resulted in more protection for victims. Ultimately, this research reveals that the adversarial criminal justice reform of the early 2000s has not substantially improved the protection of victims’ rights in Colombia.

Book excerpt: DIRIGIR EN EL SIGLO XXI ¿Qué está pasando hoy en día con y en las organizaciones?; ¿Hacia dónde apuntan las tendencias del cambio organizacional?; ¿Es posible orientar la cultura en el sentido que marcan las nuevas condiciones del entorno?; ¿Qué factores hay que considerar al hacer cambios para asegurar su éxito? Estas y otras preguntas se las plantean cotidianamente quienes, tanto en el sector académico como en el laboral, están preocupados por lograr en las organizaciones niveles cada vez más altos de eficiencia, productividad y calidad, en un ambiente de trabajo que propicie la motivación, el desarrollo y el compromiso de las personas. En este libro, Horacio Andrade les da respuestas basado en su larga experiencia como consultor, como periodista y como profesor de postgrado en diversas instituciones de educación superior. La idea subyacente a las reflexiones que el autor hace alrededor de temas tan variados como el cambio, la cultura y el comportamiento organizacionales, es precisamente la que da título al libro: Cambio o Fuera. En un mundo en constante transformación, las organizaciones deben ser sensibles a lo que sucede en su entorno, desarrollar una capacidad de respuesta rápida y adelantarse a los cambios para no verse rebasadas, y finalmente desplazadas, por ellos.
Download or read book C Mo Es Dios y Qu Es el Hombre written by Jes Enr Quez Rubio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El ser humano tiene tendencia natural hacia su creador, como la abeja al panal, la cual está más allá de la razón y de los instintos. Es la convicción no aprendida de que estamos unidos a Dios, cualquiera que sea la idea que de Él tengamos. Nos experimentamos pequeños y desvalidos frente a su infinitud y poder, y esto nos induce a depender y caer, aferrándonos a la idea de que El Señor está obligado a proporcionarnos todo lo que necesitamos. Pero, Dios nos creó a su imagen y semejanza, igualitos a Él en su substancia y cualidades y nos dio los elementos necesarios para poderlo todo; y los problemas de la vida están ahí para ponernos a prueba, para obligarnos a ejercitar nuestras capacidades y a base de eso crecer y crecer, hasta llegar a ser grandes y poderosos como lo es Él y entonces fundirnos en su divina persona siendo uno con Él para toda la eternidad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante este ameno relato, el lector podrá fácilmente reconocer experiencias propias de su vida en un equipo de trabajo, sea como líder o como miembro del mismo e identificar situaciones que están influyendo de manera negativa en su desempeño. Con el interés de compartir sus experiencias como consultor en procesos humanos en las organizaciones, el Dr. López Rentería utiliza como herramienta didáctica la metáfora, para contarnos la historia de un ficticio pueblo pre hispánico que sufre las vicisitudes de su equipo de Juego de Pelota, sus problemas y fracasos, así como todos los intentos fallidos para mejorar su situación. La segunda parte del libro, nos presenta un interesante análisis metapsicológico de los fenómenos grupales observados durante el relato y a manera de notas, puntualiza las razones de los mismos y su impacto en el desempeño, además de sugerir recomendaciones aplicables prácticamente a cualquier tipo de equipo de trabajo. En resumen, la pretensión de este trabajo técnico-literario es la invitación a tomar conciencia de que los grupos humanos de cualquier denominación, son sumamente complejos, por lo que las medidas de solución simplista, en muchas ocasiones no solo resultan infructuosas para la resolución de los problemas, sino que además frecuentemente los complican.
