Download or read book Life Imprisonment written by Dirk Van Zyl Smit and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life imprisonment has replaced capital punishment as the most common sentence imposed for heinous crimes worldwide. As a consequence, it has become the leading issue in international criminal justice reform. In the first global survey of prisoners serving life terms, Dirk van Zyl Smit and Catherine Appleton argue for a human rights–based reappraisal of this exceptionally harsh punishment. The authors estimate that nearly half a million people face life behind bars, and the number is growing as jurisdictions both abolish death sentences and impose life sentences more freely for crimes that would never have attracted capital punishment. Life Imprisonment explores this trend through systematic data collection and legal analysis, persuasively illustrated by detailed maps, charts, tables, and comprehensive statistical appendices. The central question—can life sentences be just?—is straightforward, but the answer is complicated by the vast range of penal practices that fall under the umbrella of life imprisonment. Van Zyl Smit and Appleton contend that life imprisonment without possibility of parole can never be just. While they have some sympathy for the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, they conclude that life imprisonment, in many of the ways it is implemented worldwide, infringes on the requirements of justice. They also examine the outliers—states that have no life imprisonment—to highlight the possibility of abolishing life sentences entirely. Life Imprisonment is an incomparable resource for lawyers, lawmakers, criminologists, policy scholars, and penal-reform advocates concerned with balancing justice and public safety.

Download or read book Contra la cadena perpetua written by Luis Arroyo Zapatero and published by Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La incorporación al Código penal de la cadena perpetua en la reforma de 2015 ha recibido un rechazo casi unánime por parte de la ciencia penal española, que la censura por su frontal oposición a nuestra Carta Magna al vulnerar la prohibición de penas inhumanas y degradantes (art. 15), los principios de culpabilidad y proporcionalidad, el derecho a la libertad (art. 17), el mandato de determinación de las penas (art. 25.1) y el de resocialización (art. 25.2).Este libro es fruto del debate doctrinal suscitado en el marco de la elaboración y presentación en el Congreso del dictamen sobre la constitucionalidad de la pena de prisión permanente revisable encomendado por el Grupo Parlamentario Socialista del Congreso y cuyo contenido se ha plasmado en el recurso de inconstitucionalidad presentado por éste y apoyado por todos los partidos políticos entonces en la oposición. El dictamen se acompaña de trabajos complementarios de los autores y de un cualificado grupo de profesores unidos en la censura de la cadena perpetua: Gonzalo Quintero Olivares, Francisco Javier Álvarez García, Francisco Javier de León Villalba, Nicolás García Rivas, Adán Nieto Martín, Juan Antonio Lascuraín Sánchez, José Luis de la Cuesta Arzamendi, Antonio Cuerda Riezu, Lucía Martínez Garay, María Acale Sánchez, Carlos García Valdés y Tomás Vives Antón.

Download or read book Anthropos and the Material written by Penny Harvey and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The destructive effects of modern industrial societies have shaped the planet in such profound ways that many argue for the existence of a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. This claim brings into relief a set of challenges that have deep implications for how relations between the human, the material, and the political affect contemporary social worlds. The contributors to Anthropos and the Material examine these challenges by questioning and complicating long-held understandings of the divide between humans and things. They present ethnographic case studies from across the globe, addressing myriad topics that range from labor, economics, and colonialism to technology, culture, the environment, agency, and diversity. In foregrounding the importance of connecting natural and social histories, the instability and intangibility of the material, and the ways in which the lively encounters between the human and the nonhuman challenge conceptions of liberal humanism, the contributors point to new understandings of the capacities of people and things to act, transform, and adapt to a changing world.

Download or read book Multilevel Protection of the Principle of Legality in Criminal Law written by Mercedes Pérez Manzano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the simultaneous protection of fundamental rights by various norms and jurisdictional organs, focussing on the multilevel protection of the principle of legality in Criminal Law.Written by accredited specialists in criminal law, constitutional law, international public law, and the philosophy of law, the majority of them ex-Counsels of the Spanish Constitutional Court, it addresses various manifestations of the principle of legality: the requirement of precision, the judicial subjection to law and the prohibition of bis in idem. It does so not only from a theoretical perspective, but also through a comparative study of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union and state constitutional courts. This practical approach characterizes the book, which culminates in a detailed analysis of the relevant ECtHR Judgement Del Río Prada v. Spain on the retroactivity of unfavourable jurisprudence."Multilevel protection of the principle of legality in Criminal Law" is a useful instrument of reflection for scholars of both the principle of criminal legality and the problems that arise from the concurrency of protective jurisdictions of human rights.

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen aborda el análisis de los procesos electorales de ámbito presidencial y legislativo celebrados en América Latina en el bienio 2014-2105. Se trata de elecciones celebradas en once países cuyo estudio se desarrolla en igual número de capítulos. Se cubren comicios simultáneos a ambas instancias en Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panamá y Uruguay. En El Salvador y en Colombia, aunque se celebraron en tiempos distintos, ambos tipos de comicios se consideran en el mismo capítulo; allí, las presidenciales precedieron a las legislativas con un año de diferencia en el primer país y las legislativas antecedieron por tres meses a las presidenciales en el segundo. Se recogen también en capítulos independientes las elecciones únicamente legislativas de México y Venezuela. Si bien el criterio temporal siempre puede calificarse de caprichoso en este caso sigue la preocupación iniciada hace ocho años de dar cumplida cuenta del acontecer electoral en la región, en el ámbito de los dos poderes representativos del Estado por excelencia. En efecto, este volumen da continuidad a anteriores trabajos. El bienio aquí analizado da cabida a un nivel promedio de elecciones presidenciales, si se tiene en cuenta el acumulado en la región desde hace 30 años, por lo cual es representativo del quehacer político latinoamericano. Así, la Tabla 1 recoge las 117 elecciones presidenciales que se han llevado a cabo en la región entre 19861 y 2015 cuyo resultado no fue cuestionado; su media es de cuatro procesos electorales por año y aquí el número de elecciones que se recogen son nueve.

Tyler Richardson, su abogado defensor, intenta ayudarla pero ella desaparece llevándose muchos secretos. Tyler decide olvidarse del asunto y seguir con su vida. Sin embargo, las circunstancias lo obligarán a retomar el caso, pues ahora él es una víctima más. Mientras tanto, Thera está secuestrada por alguien que la odia lo suficiente como para mantenerla con vida sólo para torturarla. En medio de su sufrimiento, descubrirá que su salvación puede traicionarla y su enemigo, rescatarla. No obstante, le será difícil descubrir a la persona en quien puede depositar su confianza, porque después de todo, ella es la peor persona del mundo y merece ser tratada como tal. Al menos, así piensa su captor.
