Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts. This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.

Download or read book The Genetic Imaginary written by Neil Gerlach and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA testing and banking has become institutionalized in the Canadian criminal justice system. As accepted and widespread though the practice is, there has been little critique or debate of this practice in a broad public forum on the potential infringement of individual rights or civil liberties. Neil Gerlach's The Genetic Imaginary takes up this challenge, critically examining the social, legal, and criminal justice origins and effects of DNA testing and banking. Drawing on risk analysis, Gerlach explains why Canadians have accepted DNA technology with barely a ripple of public outcry. Despite promises of better crime control and protections for existing privacy rights, Gerlach's examination of police practices, courtroom decisions, and the changing role of scientific expertise in legal decision-making reveals that DNA testing and banking have indeed led to a measurable erosion of individual rights. Biogovernance and the biotechnology of surveillance almost inevitably lead to the empowerment of state agent control and away from due process and legal protection. The Genetic Imaginary demonstrates that the overall effect of these changes to the criminal justice system has been to emphasize the importance of community security at the expense of individual rights. The privatization and politicization of biogovernance will certainly have profound future implications for all Canadians.
Download or read book Perspectives of Law and Culture on the End of life Legislations in France Germany India Italy and United Kingdom written by Stéphanie Rohlfing-Dijoux and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation de l'éditeur : "The interactions between law and culture in addressing the legal problems at the end of a life are currently being discussed in many countries. The discourse on this issue should be multidisciplinary, taking into account its legal, medical, ethical, philosophical and anthropological aspects. The concepts designed to manage the legal problems that occur when a life comes to an end are closely linked to the culture of each country. For this reason, countries with different cultural backgrounds have been selected for this comparative end-of-life study. In France, Germany and Italy, which have a continental legal system, the United Kingdom, which has a common law system, and India, the various religions and cultures exert an important influence on the modernisation of the legislation in this respect. The book deals with recent legislative changes and developments in the countries surveyed."
Download or read book The Great Accelerator written by Paul Virilio and published by Polity. This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 10 September 2008, amid much fanfare, the Great Collider run by CERN in Geneva was turned on. The Collider was supposed to fire protons around a seventeen-mile loop of tunnels, causing them to crash into one another at close to the speed of light and break into even tinier particles. Nine days later the Collider broke down and had to be switched off, the accelerator temporarily silenced, the reckless search for 'God's particle' put on hold. At the same time the speeded-up markets of global finance, with screens of multi-coloured numbers designating the rapid flows of capital, are suddenly thrown into confusion when news spreads that the great Titan of Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, has filed for bankruptcy. Investors panic, share prices plunge and the accelerated markets of global finance seize up. In his latest book, Paul Virilio - the leading theorist of our obsession with technology, speed and power - rewrites 'The Book of Exodus', but the exodus he talks about is no longer conducted in a single file of people headed for some possible Promised Land. It is a closed-circuit exodus within a cramped world, where reduction in human stocks will suddenly look like the only solution to the lockdown of history.
Download or read book Schengen Judicial Cooperation and Policy Coordination written by Monica den Boer and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th Schengen Colloquium that was held on 23 and 24 January 1997 at EIPA in Maastricht. Two major themes were selected, namely judicial cooperation and drugs policy. Prominent insiders provide us with an interesting insight into the Schengen policy-making process in both of these fields. In the field of judicial cooperation (which still lags far behind police cooperation), readers are offered various perspectives, some of which emanate from the European institutions (the European Commission and the Council Secretariat), and others from practitioners and academics. The creation of a European Judicial Space, a network of magistrates, a European Prosecution Service, 'exporting' the National Magistrate model as found in Belgium, or a system of liaison magistrates on a bilateral basis... which provides the best solution for effective judicial cooperation in Europe? As far as drug policy is concerned, we sometimes forget that the approach is not always a repressive one. Amidst international controversy, the Dutch authorities maintain that a preventive, health oriented approach may be more successful than a repressive one. However, at the level of practical police cooperation, solutions are found in more intensive controls along the motorway where the drugs are being transported, and in regional multiagency cooperation across the borders. Significant contributions in this volume concern the incorporation of Schengen into the new Treaty of Amsterdam and the problem of differentiated integration, the enlaregement of the Schengen group (i.e. the accession of the Nordic states), the transparency and the accountability of Schengen, the development of multilateral and bilateral agreements, and the latest developments concering visa and asylum policy. Last but not least, the volume contains a comprehensive overview of the Third Pillar decisions made before 30 June 1997" --
