Download or read book Research Handbook on the International Penal System written by Róisín Mulgrew and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the expertise and experience of contributors from a wide range of academic, professional and judicial backgrounds, the Research Handbook on the International Penal Systemcritically analyses the laws, policies and practices that govern detention, punishment and the enforcement of sentences in the international criminal justice context. Comprehensive and innovative, it examines the operation of the international penal system, covering pertinent issues such as non-custodial sanctions, monitoring of conditions of detention, the protection of prisoners under international law and the transfer of prisoners. These aspects are presented in a logical order, linking up with the chronological sequence of the international criminal justice process. Far-reaching, this Handbook also explores broader normative questions related to contemporary human rights law, transitional and restorative justice and victim redress, before exploring contemporary and alternative mechanisms for punishing and overseeing punishment, and possible avenues for development. This up-to-date assessment will provide valuable insights for researchers and students of international criminal law and justice, comparative penal law, penology, prisoners' rights and transitional and restorative justice. Its recommendations for development will also interest international and national officials working in criminal law and justice. Contributors:D. Abels, K. Ambos, O. Bekou, S. D Ascoli, T.A.

Book excerpt: ′Cavadino and Dignan′s Penal Systems: A Comparative Approach looks across national boundaries to see how penal systems differ and why. It is hands-down the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the subject and should become a staple textbook for use in law and social science courses on comparative penal policy and practice′ - Michael H. Tonry, University of Minnesota ′This book is an important addition to the literature on punishment. It is a highly readable and very well researched overview of some of the major differences in punitiveness between neo-liberal, corporatist and social democratic countries... This is a major contribution to comparative penology by two of the leading authors in this field′ - Alison Liebling, Director of the Prisons Research Centre, UK ′A major and seminal work′ - David Downes, Professor Emeritus at the London School of Economics Penal Systems: A Comparative Approach is a comprehensive and original introduction to the comparative study of punishment. Analysing twelve countries, Cavadino and Dignan offer an integrated and theoretically rigorous approach to comparative penology. They draw upon material provided by a team of eminent penologists to produce an important and highly readable contribution to scholarship in this area. Early chapters introduce the reader to comparative penology, set out the theoretical framework and consider whether there is currently a ′global penal crisis′. Each country is then discussed in turn. Chapters on comparative youth justice and the privatization of prisons follow. Comparisons between countries are drawn within each chapter, giving the reader a synoptic and truly comparative vision of penality in different jurisdictions.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Además de presentar una revisión histórica del Estado como instrumento punitivo, así como de los modelos de enjuiciamiento hasta llegar a lo establecido en los códigos actuales, este libro analiza algunos aspectos relacionados con las teorías del proceso, el delito y la prueba. El objetivo es explicar el actual modelo acusatorio adversarial mexicano, a partir de la evolución del derecho penal. El autor desarrolla tres ejes: el proceso dentro del sistema de enjuiciamiento acusatorio, el funcionalismo normativo como teoría de imputación de responsabilidad penal y el régimen probatorio en el modelo adversarial nacional. También hace una descripción de las ideas penales y sus cambios a lo largo de diferentes corrientes de pensamiento, y culmina con una evaluación crítica de la implementación del modelo acusatorio adversarial en nuestro país.
Download or read book Conversion and the Rehabilitation of the Penal System written by Andrew Skotnicki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cincinnati Penal Congress of 1870 ushered in the era of "progressive" penology: the use of statistical and social scientific methodologies, commitment to psychiatric and therapeutic interventions, and a new innovation--the reformatory--as the locus for the application of these initiatives. The prisoner was now seen as a specimen to be analyzed, treated, and properly socialized into the triumphal current of American social and economic life. The Progressive rehabilitative initiatives succumbed in the 1970s to withering criticism from the proponents of equally futile strategies for addressing "the crime problem": retribution, deterrence, and selective incapacitation. The early Christian community developed a methodology for correcting human error that featured the unprecedented belief that a period of time spent in a given penitential locale, with the aid and encouragement of the community, was sufficient in and of itself to heal the alienation and self-loathing caused by sin and to lead an individual to full reincorporation into the community. The "correctional" practice was based upon the conviction that cooperative sociability--or conversion--is possible, regardless of the specific offense, without any need to inflict suffering, or to use the act of punishment as a warning to potential offenders, or to undertake programmatic interventions into the lives of the incarcerated for the purpose of rehabilitating them. Andrew Skotnicki contends that the modern practice of criminal detention is a protracted exercise in needless violence predicated upon two foundational errors. The first is an inability to see the imprisoned as human beings fully capable of responding to an affirmative accompaniment rather than maltreatment and invasive forms of therapy. The second is a pervasive dualism that constructs a barrier between detainees and those empowered to supervise, rehabilitate, and punish them. In this book, Skotnicki argues that the criminal justice system can only be rehabilitated by eliminating punishment and policies based upon deterrence, rehabilitation, and the incapacitation of the urban poor and returning to the original justification for the practice of confinement: conversion.

Download or read book The Dilemma of Penal Reform written by Hermann Mannheim and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1939, The Dilemma of Penal Reform presents Hermann Mannheim’s discussion on the impact of economic, social, and legal factors on methods of punishment. Set against the background of author’s wide knowledge in German, French, American and Soviet penal methods, the volume brings comparative analysis to address the question, whether it is possible to combine the old practice of making life inside prison less attractive than outside with the outlook aiming at the regeneration of prisoners, and to reconcile the stigma connected with a fair chance of rehabilitation. It also examines the conflict between the requirement of modern penology and some traditional principles of criminal procedure specially for the juvenile courts. One of the pioneering works in the history of Penal Reform, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of legal history, law, sociology, and social work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con la presente obra titulada “Selecciones de Dogmática Penal Latinoamericana” damos inicio a una serie de abordajes en doctrina teórica y aplicada en el derecho penal de la Patria Grande, Latinoamérica, sede máxima de nuestras reflexiones y preocupaciones, por dos motivos principales: En primer lugar, por haber nacido en algunos de los países de Sudamérica, Centroamérica y el Caribe, de habla española o lengua romance. Y, en segundo lugar, por buscar un digno y mejor destino para la región latinoamericana en uno de sus sistemas más complicados que posee, como es el sistema penal, sin que ello signifique dejar de lado contribuciones de autores provenientes de la órbita hispana, o inclusive, de autores que pertenecen a sistemas jurídicos distintos al civil law. Si bien los intentos de un Código Penal Tipo para Iberoamérica no resultan viables desde el nivel de la jurisdicción propia de una unidad política nacional, al ser Latinoamérica actualmente un conglomerado de países diversos e independientes entre sí, unidos básicamente por lazos de idioma y sistemas sociales con similares características y dificultades, es en el terreno dogmático y doctrinario en donde podemos encontrar las bases de solución para nuestros problemas y conflictos jurídico-sociales, teniendo en cuenta que en el sistema jurídico del civil law la doctrina se constituye como la primera fuente material del derecho, como la cantera de fértiles campos desde la cual se extraen las creaciones y recreaciones conceptuales que iluminan todo el edificio teórico de la dogmática, proyectando su luz cognitiva hacia el sistema jurídico en su integridad, toda vez que las creaciones y/o recreaciones doctrinarias pueden ser acogidas por la legislación, y ésta, al admitir tales creaciones y/o recreaciones, tras ser aplicada por los tribunales de justicia, se puede convertir en jurisprudencia.
Download or read book Religion and the Development of the American Penal System written by Andrew Skotnicki and published by Rlpg/Galleys. This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skotnicki (Catholic social ethics, Saint Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park, California) traces the influence of changing religious ideas on changing attitudes about prisons during the course of US history. Paying attention not only to institutional religion but also to the popular trends that foreshadow institutional change, he looks at the evangelical millennium and the rise of the penitentiaries; New York and Pennsylvania as taking different roads to The Kingdom; sentimentalism, science and the Progressive Movement; religion, progress, and the end of the penitentiaries; and an institution in search of meaning.

Download or read book Judge and Punish written by Geoffroy de Lagasnerie and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What remains anti-democratic in our criminal justice systems, and where does it come from? Geoffroy de Lagasnerie spent years sitting in on trials, watching as individuals were judged and sentenced for armed robbery, assault, rape, and murder. His experience led to this original reflection on the penal state, power, and violence that identifies a paradox in the way justice is exercised in liberal democracies. In order to pronounce a judgment, a trial must construct an individualizing story of actors and their acts; but in order to punish, each act between individuals must be transformed into an aggression against society as a whole, against the state itself. The law is often presented as the reign of reason over passion. Instead, it leads to trauma, dispossession, and violence. Only by overturning our inherited legal fictions can we envision forms of truer justice. Combining narratives of real trials with theoretical analysis, Judge and Punish shows that juridical institutions are not merely a response to crime. The state claims to guarantee our security, yet from our birth, we also belong to it. The criminal trial, a magnifying mirror, reveals our true condition as political subjects.
