Book excerpt: As a paralegal in Saudi Arabia for some years, I observed a number of thematic problems related to the Saudi Arabian juveniles' system. These problems concern the lack of codification/consolidation or Tadwin, unclear determination of the age of puberty, misclassification of juveniles' crimes and gross inconsistency in the penalties meted out. This study employs a mixed methodology which involves analytical and statistical approaches to the problem. Judicial applications from three courts in Riyadh were examined to clarify the traditional classification for juveniles' crimes (i.e. Hudud, Qisas and Ta'zir crimes). Specifically, under the Hudud crimes, I investigate four crimes: adultery, drugs and alcohol offences, Hirabah (armed robbery), and theft. Additionally, details of 271 cases within the period from June 2010 until about June 2015 were gathered.The purpose of this research is to identify the extent to which the Saudi juveniles' justice system recognises minors at the courthouse. In so doing, it identifies four substantial problems: the codification of the Saudi juveniles' system, determining the age of criminal liability, categorisation of juveniles' crimes, and inconsistency in punishment. The results show some important outcomes. First, cases of Zina (adultery and fornication) are unclearly archived under the term "Fahishah" in a number of verdicts of my records. However, the term Fahishah is used interchangeably in these cases to indicate Zina (adultery), Liwa't (homosexuality) or prostitution in general. This means that there is no quality control over the classification of crimes. Similarly, the term Hirabah (highway/armed robbery) involved many sub-types that are classified Hirabah without any specific criteria given. The researcher found just 17 types already titled as Hirabah crimes. Consequently, misclassifying juvenile and punishment can be one reason for mixing juveniles’ and adults’ legal affairs, such as when juveniles' cases are transferred to the general or criminal courts without logical reason.Secondly, none of the laws pertaining to juveniles in Saudi (namely, the law requiring the provision of social observation houses for boys and care institutions for girls that was passed in 1975), has addressed the problem of the codification of the juveniles' system. The judges in juveniles’ cases have never depended on the alleged juveniles’ Nizam (i.e. law), let alone their irrelevance to juveniles' legal and judicial matters. Therefore, some juveniles were subject to capital punishment, as occurred at least three times in 2014. Thirdly, huge variations exist between statutes (for example, the age of puberty is 18 years old for boys while it is 30 years old for girls) and what is happening in reality (15 years old, or even earlier). Therefore, we see contradicted practices, such as people older than 18 years of age being prosecuted as juveniles. Moreover, juveniles were prosecuted without mentioning their ages of puberty. Further, women over 18 years old were criminally prosecuted as juveniles.Fourthly, there is no different classification for juveniles' crimes from those committed by adults in Saudi because the scale behind the classification is the punishment. Hence, the applications clearly12reflect the complexity of the juveniles’ system and have led to unexpected verdicts from juveniles' judges in their decisions where, for instance, they exceeded the fixed number of lashes (i.e. if the fixed crimes' conditions were not met). Last but not least, I only found jailing and flogging in the judicial applications related to Ta'zir crimes. Other penalties such as admonition, reprimand, threat, fine and seizure of the property were dismissed or, at least mentioned in very rare cases (statistically they are not sufficient in number to be mentioned or to have been included in the SPSS analysis for this thesis). Accordingly, the tables herewith show that great inconsistencies exist in the discretionary lashes and jail punishments with regard to both genders, except with regard to fixed lashes. There were considerable differences between the discretionary lashes, fixed lashes and jail penalties with regard to the juveniles' associates, the four discretionary crimes and age groupings. However, there were no statistical differences in those three punishments with regard to the juveniles' previous convictions. Thus, I would strongly suggest that the juveniles’ justice system (e.g. crime classification and punishment) should be reorganised into distinct procedures, rather than focusing on just penalty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This 82-page report documents the routine arrest of children for such 'offenses' as begging, running away from home, or being alone with a member of the opposite sex. Prosecutors can hold children, like adults, for up to six months before referring them to a judge. In the case of girls, authorities can detain them indefinitely, without judicial review, for what they say is 'guidance.' Detention centers mix children under investigation or trial with children convicted of a crime and sometimes with adults. Judges regularly try children without the presence of lawyers or sometimes even guardians, even for crimes punishable by death, flogging, or amputation."--Publisher website.

Book excerpt: The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
Download or read book Children s Rights and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility written by Don Cipriani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes? This work is the first global analysis of national minimum ages of criminal responsibility (MACRs), the international legal obligations that surround them, and the principal considerations for establishing and implementing respective age limits. Taking an international children's rights approach, with a rich theoretical framework and the vitality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this work maintains a critical perspective, such as in challenging the assumptions of many children's rights scholars and advocates. Compiling the age limits and statutory sources for all countries, this book explains the broad historical origins behind most of them, identifying the recurring practical challenges that affect every country and providing the first comprehensive evidence that a general principle of international law requires all nations, regardless of their treaty ratifications, to establish respective minimum age limits.

This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 1772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, detailed account explores crime and punishment throughout the world through the eyes of leading experts, local authors and scholars, and government officials. It is a subject as old as civil society, yet one that still fuels debate. Now the many and varied aspects of that subject are brought together in the four-volume Crime and Punishment around the World. This unprecedented work provides descriptions of crimes—and the justice systems that define and punish them—in more than 200 nations, principalities, and dependencies. Each chapter examines the historical, political, and cultural background, as well as the basic organization of the subject state's legal and criminal justice system. It also reports on the types and levels of crime, the processes leading to the finding of guilt, the rights of the accused, alternatives to going to trial, how suspects are prosecuted for their crimes, and the techniques and conditions of typical punishments employed. Comprising a study that is at once extraordinarily comprehensive and minutely detailed, the essays collected here showcase the variety and the universality of crime and punishment the world over.
Download or read book Youth Crime and Justice written by Clayton A Hartjen and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close to half of the world’s population is below the age of criminal jurisdiction in most countries. Many of these young people are living in poverty and under totalitarian regimes. Given their deprived and often abject circumstances, it is not surprising that many of them become involved in crime. In Youth, Crime, and Justice, Clayton A. Hartjen provides a broad overview of juvenile delinquency: how it manifests itself around the world and how societies respond to misconduct among their children. Taking a global, rather than country-specific approach, chapters focus on topics that range from juvenile laws and the correction of child offenders to the abuse, exploitation, and victimization of young people. Hartjen includes specific examples from the United States, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, India, Egypt, and elsewhere as he sorts through the various definitions of “delinquent” and explores the differences in behavior that contribute to these classifications. Most importantly, his in-depth and comparative look at judicial systems worldwide raises questions about how young offenders should be “corrected” and how much fault can be laid on misbehaving youths acting out against the very societies that produced them.
