Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing and Human Rights analyses the implementation of human rights standards, tracing them from the nodal points of their production in Geneva, through the board rooms of national police management and training facilities, to the streets of downtown Johannesburg. This book deals with how the unprecedented influence of human rights, combined with the inability by police officers to ‘live up’ to international standards, has created a range of policing and human rights vernaculars – hybrid discourses that have appropriated, transmogrified and undercut human rights. Understood as an attempt by police officers, as much as by the police as a whole, to recover a position from which to act and to judge, these vernaculars reveal the compromised ways in which human rights are – and are not – implemented. Tracing how, in South Africa, human rights have given rise to new forms of popular justice, informal ‘private’ policing and provisional security arrangements, Policing and Human Rights delivers an important analysis of how the dissemination and implementation of human rights intersects with the post-colonial and post-transformation circumstances that characterise many countries in the South.
Download or read book Policing Ethics and Human Rights written by Peter Neyroud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical and human rights issues have assumed an increasingly high profile in the wake of miscarriages of justice, racism (Lawrence Inquiry), incompetence and corruption - in both Britain and overseas. At the same time the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998 in England and Wales will have a major impact on policing, challenging many of the assumptions about how policing is carried out. This book aims to provide an accessible introduction to the key issues surrounding ethics in policing, linking this to recent developments and new human rights legislation. It sets out a powerful case for a modern 'ethical policing' approach. Policing, Ethics and Human Rights argues that securing and protecting human rights should be a major, if not the major, rationale for public policing.
Download or read book The Police and International Human Rights Law written by Ralf Alleweldt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated overview of current international human rights law relating to the police. Around the globe, the police have a special responsibility for the protection of human rights. Police work is governed by national rules and in addition, in today’s world, by the evolving international human rights standards. As a result of the ever-developing case law of international courts and other bodies, the requirements of human rights law on policing have become more and more detailed and complex in recent years. Bringing together a variety of distinguished authors from academia, police forces and other government authorities, the human rights movement, and international organizations, the book discusses topical issues, including the use of deadly force, the prevention of torture, effective investigations, the protection of personal data, and positive obligations of the police.
Download or read book Understanding Policing written by Anneke Osse and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Understanding policing, a resource for human rights activists gives background information on policing issues for human rights advocates working on policing and those considering embarking on such work. This resource book is based on the premise that in order to intervene effectively in police conduct, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of policing and the context in which it takes place: both the legal standards guiding police work as well as the practical methodologies developed by police to implement these. Armed with this understanding human rights advocates can make an assessment of police agencies in specific contexts. Such an assessment is vital both to developing an effective research and campaigning strategy for the improvement of police compliance with human rights, and to deciding whom to target whether to follow a confrontational and/or engagement approach."--p. 4 of cover.

Download or read book Constitutional Challenges in the Algorithmic Society written by Hans-W. Micklitz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies have always challenged the social, economic, legal, and ideological status quo. Constitutional law is no less impacted by such technologically driven transformations, as the state must formulate a legal response to new technologies and their market applications, as well as the state's own use of new technology. In particular, the development of data collection, data mining, and algorithmic analysis by public and private actors present unique challenges to public law at the doctrinal as well as the theoretical level. This collection, aimed at legal scholars and practitioners, describes the constitutional challenges created by the algorithmic society. It offers an important synthesis of the state of play in law and technology studies, addressing the challenges for fundamental rights and democracy, the role of policy and regulation, and the responsibilities of private actors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Download or read book Human Rights and Policing in Ireland written by Dermot Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the powers, practices, and processes of Garda (Ireland's police force) for compliance with international best practice in human rights standards. It offers a unique critique of the law, policy, and practice on policing in Ireland from a human rights perspective. The book is divided into four sections, with Part I examining human rights and policing in general. It offers a detailed and comprehensive account of human rights standards applicable to key aspects of policing, such as: arrest * detention * interrogation * the right of access to legal advice and medical treatment * the taking bodily samples * stop and question/search * entry, search, and seizure * surveillance * the use of informers * the improper use of intelligence * public order * the use of force * the treatment of victims * the treatment of ethnic minorities * complaints * internal discipline * accountability to the law * governance and democratic accountability * gender and diversity in the composition of the police organization * the rights of police officers with respect to trade union membership, political activity, and disciplinary procedures. The human rights standards on each of these aspects are extracted from international sources, such as: the European Convention on Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, the Council of Europe's Code of Police Ethics, the reports of the Council of Europe's Committee on the Prevention of Torture, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, and examples of best practice from other jurisdictions. This is supplemented by an account of relevant Irish human rights standards as extracted from Ireland's Constitution, the common law, and legislation. On each of these key aspects of policing, attention is drawn to how and where Irish law falls short of international best practice and what is needed to remedy the deficiencies. Part II offers a structured and comprehensive account of the human rights concerns that have affected policing in Ireland over the past decade or so. It gives an overview of the human rights failings that have been revealed by sources, such as: the Morris Tribunal of Inquiry into events in Donegal * the Barr Tribunal into the fatal shooting of John Carthy at Abbeylara * the Garda Siochana Complaints Board and Ombudsman Commission * the European Committee on the Prevention of Torture * judgments from Irish courts * the Ionann Human Rights Audit on the Garda * investigative journalism. Part III offers a critique of the Garda policies and processes that have been and are being taken to address the human rights deficiencies outlined in Part II. This includes an expert analysis of the internal formulation and dissemination of human rights policies and the monitoring of compliance with those policies and human rights standards within the force. In Part IV, the book concludes with a body of broad recommendations on the further actions that are needed to ingrain human rights standards at the heart of all aspects of policing in Ireland.

Download or read book Defund Fear written by Zach Norris and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking new vision for public safety that overturns more than 200 years of fear-based discrimination, othering, and punishment As the effects of aggressive policing and mass incarceration harm historically marginalized communities and tear families apart, how do we define safety? In a time when the most powerful institutions in the United States are embracing the repressive and racist systems that keep many communities struggling and in fear, we need to reimagine what safety means. Community leader and lawyer Zach Norris lays out a radical way to shift the conversation about public safety away from fear and punishment and toward growth and support systems for our families and communities. In order to truly be safe, we are going to have to dismantle our mentality of Us vs. Them. By bridging the divides and building relationships with one another, we can dedicate ourselves to strategic, smart investments—meaning resources directed toward our stability and well-being, like healthcare and housing, education and living-wage jobs. This is where real safety begins. Originally published in hardcover as We Keep Us Safe: Building Secure, Just, and Inclusive Communities, Defund Fear is a blueprint of how to hold people accountable while still holding them in community. The result reinstates full humanity and agency for everyone who has been dehumanized and traumatized, so they can participate fully in life, in society, and in the fabric of our democracy.
