Download or read book Justice en Question written by Pascale Feuillée-Kendall and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses French criminal procedure. It explores issues such as the status of the juge, the changing rights of the defence, and the immunity of the French President, offering valuable comparisons between France and other cultures. This volume aims to present the French system as it is today, in theory and in practice. The contributors represent a wide spectrum of academic, professional and national standpoints and are thus able to discuss the impact of judicial practices on the political and business arenas, in a very broad context. Ce livre analyse le système de procédure pénale français. Il s'interroge sur le statut du juge, le respect diversement appliqué des droits de la défense, ou encore l'immunité pénale du Président, nous proposant ainsi des comparaisons utiles entre la France et d'autres modèles de sociétés. Cet ouvrage envisage de montrer le système français tel qu'il est aujourd'hui. Les contributions des intervenants se situent sous divers angles (universitaires ou professionnels, nationaux ou internationaux), permettant ainsi de débattre de l'impact des pratiques du monde judiciaire sur les mondes de la politique et des affaires, dans un contexte très large.
Download or read book Parcours d un historien du Vi t Nam written by Thé̂ Anh Nguyẽ̂n and published by Les Indes savantes. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1030 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre regroupe une centaine des articles les plus fondamentaux écrits par le professeur Nguyen The Anh au long d'un parcours personnel et intellectuel qui l'a conduit au premier rang de la recherche historique sur le Vietnam et la péninsule indochinoise. Ces articles, rédigés en français, anglais et vietnamien, ont été publiés dans des revues diverses, parfois difficiles à trouver ou qui n'existent plus, et c'est pourquoi leur réunion dans cet épais volume est apparue comme une nécessité. Mais le plaisir de la découverte, le souci bibliographique et la commodité d'accès sont peu de chose comparés à l'intérêt scientifique et la richesse inouïe des thèmes qui sont abordés par l'auteur. Chaque article est une étude. Chaque étude est une avancée. Et chacune de ces avancées construit encore un peu plus la cohérence d'un tableau qui, touche après touche, nous offre finalement une vision saisissante de la longue histoire du Vietnam et ses voisins.

Download or read book Stone Dreams written by Akram Aylisli and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid ethnic violence, political corruption, and petty professional intrigue, an artist tries to live free of lies. Set during the last years of the Soviet Union, Stone Dreams tells the story of Azerbaijani actor Sadai Sadygly, who lands in a Baku hospital while trying to protect an elderly Armenian man from a gang of young Azerbaijanis. Something of a modern-day Don Quixote, Sadai has long battled the hatred and corruption he observes in contemporary Azerbaijani society. Wandering in and out of consciousness, he revisits his hometown, the ancient village of Aylis, where Christian Armenians and Muslim Azeris once lived peacefully together, and dreams of making a pilgrimage of atonement to Armenia. Stone Dreams is a searing, painful meditation on the ability of art and artists—of individual human beings—to make change in the world.

Download or read book The Grandeur and Misery of the Social State written by Alain Supiot and published by Collège de France. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal history of the construction of the welfare state gives an idea of its greatness. But this easy-going sovereign, tolerant to protest and accountable for its subjects’ well-being, seems to be struck by misery today. Exposed to systemic financial risks due to the opening of its commercial borders, it is seeing its resources dwindling and its expenses increasing. Fearful doctors are rushing to its bedside. Some are prescribing one bleeding after another, while others are already drawing up its death certificate. What we need is not this lethal medicine, but a precise diagnosis of the welfare state.

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.

Download or read book Penal Abolitionism written by Vincenzo Ruggiero and published by Clarendon Studies in Criminolo. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abolitionism is not only a strategy or a set of demands, aimed at the reduction (or suppression) of custody, it is also a perspective, a philosophy, an approach which challenges conventional definitions of crime. This book examines the origin, philosophy and achievements of abolitionism and reviews the literature on penal abolitionism from the 1960s to the 1980s. By collecting and discussing the key abolitionist arguments, the author critically analyzes the views expressed by its leading proponents; Nils Christie, Louk Hulsman, Thomas Mathiesen and Herman Bianchi, examining in particular how their views took shape, their philosophical foundations, and the social and political context of abolitionist ideas and perspectives. Policies, such as the virtual abolition of custody for young offenders in Italy, are presented and the area of informal justice is also addressed, with an overview of mediation and compensation practices, and an assessment of the degree of their effectiveness and desirability. Through assessment of these achievements and experiments of specific abolitionist ideas, the author attempts to identify the legacy of abolitionism from a European perspective, while bringing into focus more recent contributions concerning the study of terrorism and war.

Download or read book Juvenile Delinquency in Europe and Beyond written by Josine Junger-Tas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juvenile Delinquency in Europe and Beyond: Results of the Second International Self-Report Delinquency Study presents the status of juvenile crime and delinquency and its backgrounds in many of the European Union member states as well as in the United States, Canada, Venezuela and Surinam. The book includes information on key issues in juvenile delinquency such as victimization of young people, alcohol and drug use and its relation to juvenile crime, involvement in youth gangs, immigration, family and school and neighborhood situations. It provides insight into different views on what can be considered juvenile crime; what acts are subsumed in its definition and when we can speak about structural delinquent behavior. These insights are based on self-reported information systematically and simultaneously collected from about 70,000 12-15 year old youths in 28 countries. Until recently, the self-report methodology has not been applied on such a large scale in an international context. The results of this survey provide new and unexpected data about those young people who structurally commit criminal acts, as well as on the frequency of the behavior and the conditions that have an impact on offending. The wealth of descriptions and insights in delinquency of all these countries will be of great interest to scholars, students and practitioners because of the special character of the publication; it is a book of reference to everyone interested in the backgrounds of juvenile delinquency.
