Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nunca ha habido una época, y tal vez nunca la habrá, que sea tan fecunda, desde el punto de vista creativo, para las ciencias criminales, como lo fue el siglo XIX.En efecto, es a este siglo al que convencionalmente se hace remontar el nacimiento de las tres ciencias fundamentales que, con autonomía de contenidos y de métodos, siempre han tenido como objeto común estudiar la criminalidad; es a saber, la ciencia penal, la criminología y la política criminal. Pero fue también en ese siglo cuando se plantearon y se impusieron, con más clara conciencia crítica y dentro de límites racionales, los cuatro problemas permanentes, esenciales y constantes, de las ciencias criminales; es decir, los problemas de la definición de la criminalidad, de la defensa contra la criminalidad, de la determinación de las causas de la criminalidad, y, por último, de las garantías del individuo contra las ciencias criminales.
Download or read book The Western Codification of Criminal Law written by Aniceto Masferrer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

Download or read book Beyond the Walled City written by Guadalupe Garcia and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once one of the most important port cities in the New World, Havana was a model for the planning and construction of other colonial cities. This book tells the story of how Havana was conceived, built, and managed and explores the relationship between colonial empire and urbanization in the Americas. Guadalupe García shows how the policing of urban life and public space by imperial authorities from the sixteenth century onward was explicitly centered on politics of racial exclusion and social control. She illustrates the importance of colonial ideologies in the production of urban space and the centrality of race and racial exclusion as an organizing ideology of urban life in Havana. Beyond the Walled City connects colonial urban practices to contemporary debates on urbanization, the policing of public spaces, and the urban dislocation of black and ethnic populations across the region"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Estudios de historia de las ciencias criminales en Espa a written by Javier Alvarado Planas and published by Dykinson Sl. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si bien parece innegable la relevancia de la Historia por s¡ misma, tambi‚n es imprescindible para comprender la naturaleza y estado cient¡fico de las distintas disciplinas que estudia, en este caso la ciencia del Derecho penal, la Criminolog¡a y la Pol¡tica criminal. No s¢lo para captar con una cierta profundidad los temas y orientaciones actualmente predominantes o el estado de la discusi¢n de determinados problemas y cuestiones te¢ricas y metodol¢gicas, sino sobre todo para entender su naturaleza tal y como se conciben hoy en d¡a. La extracci¢n de las consecuencias m s importantes de esta idea es, sin embargo, relativamente reciente. Es en esta tradici¢n en la que aspira a ubicarse el presente trabajo. Como se¤ala Mantovani en el pr¢logo a esta obra, no puede existir una verdadera y aut‚ntica ciencia penal y una genuina cultura penalista sin una dimensi¢n hist¢rica, as¡ como de la comparada y racional; y no s¢lo porque el ®pasado ̄, el ®presente ̄ y el ®futuro ̄ del Derecho penal viven de modo compenetrado, sino porque la p‚rdida de la memoria hist¢rica del Derecho penal conlleva la p‚rdida de su propia identidad. Verdad ‚sta que merece ser siempre recordada y nunca olvidada, como una especie de frente ante los recurrentes peligros del pensamiento criminalista, el cual, confundido ahora por lo contingente, por el fluir de las modas pasajeras, criminol¢gicas y penales, o por una cultura simplificadora, tiende a tomar m s de las ®variables ̄, que de las ®constantes ̄ criminalistas. La presente colecci¢n de ensayos se articula en torno a tres reas principales: el desarrollo hist¢rico de las ciencias penales en Espa¤a; la codificaci¢n en Espa¤a y en las colonias; y el nacimiento de la Criminolog¡a en Espa¤a. Una voluntad integradora y comprometida con las interrelaciones e interacciones entre las tres grandes ciencias criminales predomina en el presente volumen. En el mismo participan destacados historiadores del Derecho, penalistas y crimin¢logos procedentes de distintas Universidades espa¤olas. Sus editores, Javier Alvarado Planas y Alfonso Serrano Ma¡llo son profesores de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Nacional de Educaci¢n a Distancia.

Download or read book Los Invisibles written by Richard Cleminson and published by University of Wales. This book was released on 2007 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
Download or read book Criminal Law and Morality in the Age of Consent written by Aniceto Masferrer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the relation between morality and politics, and morality and law, a field that has been studied for more than two thousand years The law is a part of human culture, and this touches upon a dynamic reality that is connected to the relation between nature and freedom, nature and culture. If such relations are not clearly understood, as is the case today, the relation between morality and law cannot be properly comprehended either. The relationship between morality and criminal law must constantly evolve to meet the needs of changing times and circumstances. Social changes and new situations require new answers. And since the relationship involves criminal law, legal philosophy and legal history, interdisciplinary approaches are always needed. Featuring fifteen original contributions by legal scholars from various European and American universities, the book does not pretend to solve the complexity of the relation between morality and criminal law, but instead expresses criticism, offers some proposals and stimulates further thought. The book tackles the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective (criminal law, constitutional law, legal philosophy and legal history, among others). As such, it appeals not only to scholars and students, but also to lawyers, policymakers, historians, theologians, philosophers and general readers who are interested in the legal, social, political and philosophical issues of our time.
Download or read book Fatal Love written by Victor Uribe-Uran and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One night in December 1800, in the distant mission outpost of San Antonio in northern Mexico, Eulalia Californio and her lover Primo plotted the murder of her abusive husband. While the victim was sleeping, Prio and his brother tied a rope around Juan Californio's neck. One of them sat on his body while the other pulled on the rope and the woman, grabbing her husband by the legs, pulled in the opposite direction. After Juan Californio suffocated, Eulalia ran to the mission and reported that her husband had choked while chewing tobacco. Suspicious, the mission priests reported the crime to the authorities in charge of the nearest presidio. For historians, spousal murders are significant for what they reveal about social and family history, in particular the hidden history of day-to-day gender relations, conflicts, crimes, and punishments. Fatal Love examines this phenomenon in the late colonial Spanish Atlantic, focusing on incidents occurring in New Spain (colonial Mexico), New Granada (colonial Colombia), and Spain from the 1740s to the 1820s. In the more than 200 cases consulted, it considers not only the social features of the murders, but also the legal discourses and judicial practices guiding the historical treatment of spousal murders, helping us understand the historical intersection of domestic violence, private and state/church patriarchy, and the law.

Download or read book The Chankas and the Priest written by Sabine Hyland and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does society deal with a serial killer in its midst? What if the murderer is a Catholic priest living among native villagers in colonial Peru? In The Chankas and the Priest, Sabine Hyland chronicles the horrifying story of Father Juan Bautista de Albadán, a Spanish priest to the Chanka people of Pampachiri in Peru from 1601 to 1611. During his reign of terror over his Andean parish, Albadán was guilty of murder, sexual abuse, sadistic torture, and theft from his parishioners, amassing a personal fortune at their expense. For ten years, he escaped punishment for these crimes by deceiving and outwitting his superiors in the colonial government and church administration. Drawing on a remarkable collection of documents found in archives in the Americas and Europe, including a rare cache of Albadán’s candid family letters, Hyland reveals what life was like for the Chankas under this corrupt and brutal priest, and how his actions sparked the instability that would characterize Chanka political and social history for the next 123 years. Through this tale, she vividly portrays the colonial church and state of Peru as well as the history of Chanka ethnicity, the nature of Spanish colonialism, and the changing nature of Chanka politics and kinship from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century.
