Book excerpt: Predictive policing is the use of analytical techniques to identify targets for police intervention with the goal of preventing crime, solving past crimes, or identifying potential offenders and victims.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra, que los autores dedican a todas las víctimas, en especial a las del terrorismo, a las de la violencia de género y a las más vulnerables, se pone de relieve cómo la víctima ya no es esa persona olvidada, objeto del delito, que durante mucho tiempo sólo inspiraba compasión, sino una persona reconocida y protegida por la sociedad en su conjunto, y cómo los responsables públicos han expresado en los últimos años una especial preocupación por su protección y por el reconocimiento de unos derechos y garantías a su favor, como lo exige un Estado que se define como social y democrático de Derecho. En este sentido, la Ley 4/2015, de 27 de abril, del Estatuto de la víctima del delito, con su complemento, el Real Decreto 1109/2015, de 11 de diciembre, representa la culminación de un marco normativo garante de los derechos e intereses de la víctima, dando cumplimiento a la Directiva 2012/29/UE, por lo que puede afirmarse que España ha transpuesto satisfactoriamente la normativa europea en esta importante materia. El libro contiene los siguientes capítulos: — Capítulo I. Víctimas: su reconocimiento y protección. — Capítulo II. Normas mínimas sobre los derechos, el apoyo y la protección de las víctimas de delitos. — Capítulo III. Otros aspectos del sistema de apoyo y protección a las víctimas del delito. — Capítulo IV. Oficinas de asistencia a las víctimas de delitos.

Download or read book Causes of Delinquency written by Travis Hirschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here.Often listed as a Citation Classic, Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.

Download or read book El papel de la v ctima en el Derecho Penal written by Varios autores and published by Boletín Oficial del Estado. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El creciente papel que la víctima ha ido adquiriendo en diferentes ámbitos del Derecho penal es algo que suscita interés, y también preocupación, desde hace tiempo. Tras el olvido o neutralización de que fue objeto desde que el Estado pasó ejercer el monopolio del ius puniendi a partir del siglo XVIII, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX tuvo lugar lo que se denominó como redescubrimiento o resurgimiento de la víctima, que reivindicaba una mayor presencia de esta en la administración de justicia. Más allá del papel que pueden desempeñar en los delitos perseguibles a instancia de parte, en los supuestos en los que el perdón del ofendido puede operar como causa de extinción de la responsabilidad penal o, en general, a través del ejercicio procesal de la acusación particular, las pretensiones de las víctimas han ido persiguiendo objetivos cada vez más ambiciosos. Así, se plantea la posibilidad de que la víctima no sólo sea parte en el proceso penal sino, más allá, en el de la ejecución de la pena, pudiendo influir en cuestiones tan relevantes como la concesión del tercer grado o la libertad condicional del condenado. Asimismo, su presencia se ha incrementado en un terreno como es el político-criminal, donde las asociaciones de víctimas aspiran a ejercer de inspiración o guía a la hora de confeccionar o reformar las leyes penales. También se ha invocado un supuesto derecho de la víctima al castigo del autor del delito, tratando de incorporar los intereses de esta dentro de los fines de la pena, objetivo también pretendido a través de la reparación del daño en su papel de atenuante de la responsabilidad penal. Y, adicionalmente, se encuentra todavía abierto el papel que la voluntad y el comportamiento de la víctima puede llegar a jugar dentro de la estructura de la teoría jurídica del delito, normalmente en sede de injusto. El papel de la víctima, entonces, parecería tener una creciente importancia tanto a la hora de verificar la existencia de un delito, como en el momento de articular las consecuencias jurídicas del mismo (desde un plano legislativo y desde un plano efectivo). Todas estas cuestiones, y algunas más, son precisamente las que se abordan en las diferentes aportaciones que ahora se publican en este libro y que son el resultado escrito del III Seminario de Derecho penal de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
Download or read book Literature and Interregnum written by Patrick Dove and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature and "Interregnum" examines the unraveling of the political forms of modernity through readings of end-of-millennium literary texts by César Aira, Marcelo Cohen, Sergio Chejfec, Diamela Eltit, and Roberto Bolaño. The opening of national spaces to the global capitalist system in the 1980s culminates in the suspension of key principles of modernity, most notably that of political sovereignty. While the neoliberal model subjugates modern forms of social organization and political decision making to an economic rationale, the market is unable to provide a new ordering principle that could fill the empty place formerly occupied by the national figure of the sovereign. The result is a situation that resembles what the Italian political philosopher Antonio Gramsci termed "interregnum," an in-between time in which "the old [order] is dying and the new cannot be born." The recoding of history as literary form provides occasions for reconsidering modern conceptualizations of aesthetic experience, mood, temporality, thought, politics, ethical experience, as well as of literature itself as social institution. In his analysis, Patrick Dove seeks to create dialogues between literature and theoretical perspectives, including Continental philosophy, political thought, psychoanalysis, and sociology of globalization. The author highlights the connections between mass media, technology, politics, and economics.

Download or read book The She Devil in the Mirror written by Horacio Castellanos Moya and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvadorean society is shocked by the gruesome murder of a young upper-class woman, and no one more so than her best friend Laura. In her first-person solo narration, Laura rattles on and on about her disbelief and horror at the evils all around her—but who’s that in the mirror? Laura Rivera can’t believe what has happened. Her best friend has been killed in cold blood in the living room of her home, in front of her two young daughters! Nobody knows who pulled the trigger, but Laura will not rest easy until she finds out. Her dizzying, delirious, hilarious, and blood-curdling one-sided dialogue carries the reader on a rough and tumble ride through the social, political, economic, and sexual chaos of post-civil war San Salvador. A detective story of pulse-quickening suspense, The She-Devil in the Mirror is also a sober reminder that justice and truth are more often than not illusive. Castellanos Moya’s relentless, obsessive narrator—female, rich, paranoid, wonderfully perceptive, and, in the end, fabulously unreliable—paints with frivolous profundity a society in a state of collapse. Castellanos Moya’s Senselessness was acclaimed “an innovative and invigoratingly twisted piece of art” (Village Voice) and “a brilliantly crafted moral fable, as if Kafka had gone to Latin America for his source materials” (Russell Banks).
