Download or read book Female Crime and Delinquency in Portugal written by Sílvia Gomes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compiles research on female crime and delinquency in Portugal in order to critically and reflectively explore interdisciplinary views on the link between gender, crime and delinquency. Contributions are organized into two main parts, with Part I dedicated to the relationship between women and crime, and Part II focused on female juvenile delinquency. Through the exploration of girls’ and women’s relationships with delinquency and crime, as well as with the justice system, this original and compelling collection highlights the heterogeneity of girls’ and women's experiences, whilst also underlining the convergences and divergences between them. Ultimately, Gomes and Duarte argue that understanding how women and girls explain their offending behaviours and how they relate to the criminal justice system is of the utmost importance for reforming social and legal policies. As such, this book will be of value not only for students, researchers and professionals of the social, behavioural and criminal sciences, but also for policy-makers seeking to provide greater efficiency in preventing crime and delinquency.

Download or read book Money Laundering Through Art written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art world has been discovered by criminals as an effective way for money laundering and other clandestine activities on an international level. Unfortunately, in most countries investigators, prosecutors, judges, and regulatory agencies are not equipped to accurately detect, investigate and prosecute this type of criminal activity. Also, regulation and international laws and treaties involving the art world have many loopholes that can potentially lead to the laundering of large sums of money. This book provides a bird’s eye view of novel ways in which money laundering happens through illegal activities involving art. It can serve as a guide for law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and others involved in efforts to curb money laundering and financing of terrorism, revealing why somehow new techniques used by criminals have been neglected by law enforcement in most countries. Drawing from his own experience with the matter in both Brazil and in the United States, the author makes a case for broader institutional and regulatory improvement, extending beyond mere regulation of the art market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: elecommunication piracy in Latin America is a complex issue with significant economic, legal, and social dimensions. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem, highlighting the unique challenges faced by developing countries in the telecommunications sector. Our research offers a new perspective on the economic impacts, legal frameworks, and potential solutions to this pervasive issue. Part 1: The Economics of Telecommunication Piracy in Latin America The first section explores the economic drivers of telecommunication piracy. High service prices, low incomes, and the perception of telecommunications as a luxury item contribute to the prevalence of piracy. Part 2: How Criminal Law Can Act as a Catalyst for Economic Changes The second section addresses the legal aspects of telecommunication piracy. In developing countries, many people view piracy as a harmless crime affecting only multinational companies. We explore the role of legal actions in raising the costs for pirates and influencing consumer behavior. Part 3: Conclusion and Possible Solutions The final section synthesizes the insights from the economic and legal analyses, presenting solutions to telecommunication piracy in Latin America. We propose strategies for multinational corporations, governments, and local entities to collaborate in creating a more equitable and sustainable telecommunications market.

Download or read book Dos Delitos e das Penas written by Ceasare Marquês Beccaria and published by On Line Editora. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra traz um estudo sobre Cesare Beccaria, filósofo italiano que influenciou a legislação o com apenas 26 anos de idade, bem como do contexto europeu de sua época, quando o ordenamento jurídico permitia tortura, exílio e até pena de morte. Nesta tradução de Dos Delitos e das Penas, nota-se que “as punições são justas na proporção em que a liberdade, preservada pelo soberano, é sagrada e valiosa”, segundo Beccaria, para quem tudo o que vai além disso é abuso, não justiça. Ele expõe que os crimes devem ser medidos apenas pelo dano causado à sociedade. Com base nessa exposição, muitos países reformaram seus códigos, adotando uma penalidade específica para cada indivíduo.
Download or read book Football Gambling and Money Laundering written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional football means many things to many people. For players, a means to possible fame and fortune. For fans, a source of local or national pride, and perhaps the chance to score with a few bets. For criminal organizations, a cover for making millions in corrupt enterprises. In the world of gambling this is no different. Football, Gambling, and Money Laundering describes in impressive detail the scope of the problem, the layers of denial that allow sports-related financial crime to flourish, and the steps that are being taken--and that need to be taken--to combat illicit operations in the sports world. Expert analysis explains criminal activity in the context of football, and how sports governing bodies, the media, and others have created a culture that regularly turns a blind eye. International data and instructive legal case examples shed light on the role of the Internet in the spread of gambling and money laundering as well as the strengths and weaknesses of current law enforcement, legislative, and sports-based efforts in fighting corruption. Included in the coverage: • Criminal activity in the sports world • Financial crime and exploitation in football and gambling • Legal wagering and illegal betting, including online • Illegal and disguised payment instruments used by organized crime • International legal cooperation in combating money laundering • National and international proposals for improving the sports and gambling industries to prevent money laundering An authoritative reference to a growing and wide-reaching concern, Football, Gambling,and Money Laundering will find an interested audience among academics, prosecutors, judges, law enforcement officials, and others involved in efforts to curb corruption and money laundering in the world of football.

Download or read book Ideology and Criminal Law written by Stephen Skinner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With populist, nationalist and repressive governments on the rise around the world, questioning the impact of politics on the nature and role of law and the state is a pressing concern. If we are to understand the effects of extreme ideologies on the state's legal dimensions and powers – especially the power to punish and to determine the boundaries of permissible conduct through criminal law – it is essential to consider the lessons of history. This timely collection explores how political ideas and beliefs influenced the nature, content and application of criminal law and justice under Fascism, National Socialism, and other authoritarian regimes in the twentieth century. Bringing together expert legal historians from four continents, the collection's 16 chapters examine aspects of criminal law and related jurisprudential and criminological questions in the context of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Nazi-occupied Norway, apartheid South Africa, Francoist Spain, and the authoritarian regimes of Brazil, Romania and Japan. Based on original archival, doctrinal and theoretical research, the collection offers new critical perspectives on issues of systemic identity, self-perception and the foundational role of criminal law; processes of state repression and the activities of criminal courts and lawyers; and ideological aspects of, and tensions in, substantive criminal law.
