Download or read book Defining Crimes written by Joseph L. Hoffmann and published by Wolters Kluwer. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining Crimes, by the distinguished author team of Joseph L. Hoffmann (Indiana) and William J. Stuntz (late of Harvard), breaks from the tradition of Model Penal Code-centric casebooks and focuses instead on the rich intellectual and theoretical issues that arise from how crimes actually get defined and applied today by state and federal legislatures, trial and appellate courts, police, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and juries. The innovative approach of Defining Crimes enables the in-depth study of the problems and issues that affect the day-to-day contemporary practice of criminal law. New to the Fourth Edition: Three online chapters: Gun Crimes (formerly Chapter 8), Hate Crimes, and Crimmigration New section about the crime of receiving stolen property in Chapter 5 (Property Crimes) Principal case—U.S. v. Alvarez—about conspiracy in Chapter 7 (Inchoate Crimes and Accomplice Liability) New section about consent in Chapter 10 (Defenses), discussing the consent defense to crimes other than rape and sexual assault Notes discussing several prominent recent cases, including those involving Tamir Rice (2014), Brock Turner (2015), Amber Guyger (2018), Michael Drejka (2018), Michelle Carter (Mass. S.Ct. 2019), and George Floyd (2020)Extended excerpt from Kahler v. Kansas in Chapter 10 (Defenses), in which the Supreme Court upheld Kansas’s limited version of the insanity defense against a due process challenge, and notes about the Court’s recent decisions in Rehaif v. United States and Kelly v. United States Notes discussing recent constitutional challenges to the use of criminal law against persons experiencing homelessness Professors and students will benefit from: Strong emphasis on the traditional approach to mens rea still used in the large majority of American jurisdictions—including “general intent,” “specific intent,” malice, mistake doctrine, and strict liability. The Model Penal Code is also covered, for sake of comparison and because its alternative mens rea approach is used in some jurisdictions. A focus on the most commonly prosecuted crimes, including Property Crimes, Drug Crimes, and Crimes of Sex and Sexual Violence. Sub-chapter on Rape is carefully designed to prompt thoughtful class discussion about acquaintance rape, intoxication, “no means no,” and “yes means yes” laws and policies. Focus on the complex interactions between key institutional players—legislatures, courts, police, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and juries—that share responsibility for defining and applying crimes. Text written by experienced and distinguished authors. Introductory sections to explain the fundamentals of criminal law that students need to know in order to understand many of the chapters and sub-chapters. Secondary materials that provide in-depth social, historical, and/or political context for many of the issues that are covered in the book. A Contemporary approach, with most main cases decided since 2000, and notes that discuss cases drawn from today’s headlines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crimes Against Criminals: An Address; Delivered Before the New York State Bar Association, at Albany, N. Y., January 21st, 1890 In this brief address, the object is to suggest - there being no time to present arguments at length. The subject has been chosen for the reason that it is one that should interest the legal profession, because that profession to a certain extent controls and shapes the legislation of our country and fixes definitely the scope and meaning of all laws. Lawyers ought to be foremost in legislative and judicial reform, and of all men they should understand the philosophy of mind, the causes of human action, and the real science of government. It has been said that the three pests of a community are: A priest without charity; a doctor without knowledge, and a lawyer without a sense of justice. I. All nations seem to have had supreme confidence in the deterrent power of threatened and inflicted pain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book On the Proposed Crimes Against Humanity Convention written by Morten Bergsmo and published by Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is about the need for and nature of a convention on crimes against humanity. It uses the Proposed Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity as an important reference point. 16 authors discuss how such a convention may consolidate the definition of crimes against humanity, and develop measures for their prevention and punishment, decades after the conclusion of the Genocide Convention and Geneva Conventions. The authors include Leila N. Sadat, Eleni Chaitidou, Darryl Robinson, Mar a Luisa Piqu , Travis Weber, Julie Pasch, Rhea Brathwaite, Christen Price, Rita Maxwell, Mary Kate Whalen, Ian Kennedy, SHANG Weiwei, ZHANG Yueyao and Tessa Bolton. It contains a preface by late Judge Hans-Peter Kaul and a foreword by Hans Corell. The book is inspired by the rationale of crimes against humanity to protect against the most serious violations of fundamental individual rights, and its realization especially through domestic mechanisms. Such consciousness calls upon appropriate definition and use of contexual elements of the crime, effective jurisdiction for prevention and prosecution, and robust inter-State co-operation. The book considers individual State experiences in combating crimes against humanity. It underlines the importance of avoiding that the process to develop a new convention waters down the law of crimes against humanity or causes further polarisation between States in the area of international criminal law. It suggests that the scope of the obligation to prevent crimes against humanity will become a decisive question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative and incisive work, celebrated orator Robert Green Ingersoll offers a scathing critique of the American criminal justice system, arguing that it is too often biased in favor of the wealthy and influential and fails to uphold the basic principles of fairness and equality.

Download or read book Crimes of Terror written by Wadie E. Said and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. government's power to categorize individuals as terrorist suspects and therefore ineligible for certain long-standing constitutional protections has expanded exponentially since 9/11, all the while remaining resistant to oversight. Crimes of Terror: The Legal and Political Implications of Federal Terrorism Prosecutions provides a comprehensive and uniquely up-to-date dissection of the government's advantages over suspects in criminal prosecutions of terrorism, which are driven by a preventive mindset that purports to stop plots before they can come to fruition. It establishes the background for these controversial policies and practices and then demonstrates how they have impeded the normal goals of criminal prosecution, even in light of a competing military tribunal model. Proceeding in a linear manner from the investigatory stage of a prosecution on through to sentencing, the book documents the emergence of a "terrorist exceptionalism" to normal rules of criminal law and procedure and questions whether the government has overstated the threat posed by the individuals it charges with these crimes. Included is a discussion of the large-scale spying and use of informants rooted in the questionable "radicalization" theory; the material support statute - the government's chief legal tool in bringing criminal prosecutions; the new rules regarding generation of evidence and the broad construction of that evidence as relevant at trial; and a look at the special sentencing and confinement regimes for those convicted of terrorist crimes. In this critical examination of terrorism prosecutions in federal court, Professor Said reveals a phenomenon at odds with basic constitutional protections for criminal defendants.

Download or read book State Crime written by Dawn Rothe and published by Critical Issues in Crime and S. This book was released on 2011 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current media and political discourse on crime has long ignored crimes committed by States themselves, despite their greater financial and human toll. For the past two decades, scholars have examined how and why States violate their own laws and international law and explored what can be done to reduce or prevent these injustices. Through a collection of essays by leading scholars in the field, State Crime offers a set of cases exemplifying state criminality along with various methods for controlling governmental transgressions. With topics ranging from crimes of aggression to nuclear weapons to the construction and implementation of social controls, this volume is an indispensable resource for those who examine the behavior of States and those who study crime in its varied forms.
