This book was released on 2021 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth edition of a data collection initiative that started in 1993 under the umbrella of the Council of Europe and has been continued since 2000 by an international group of experts. These experts also act as regional coordinators of a network of national correspondents whose contribution has been decisive in collecting and validating data on a variety of subjects from 42 countries. The Sourcebook is composed of six chapters. The first five cover the current main types of national crime and criminal justice statistics – police, prosecution, conviction, prison, and probation statistics – for the years 2011 to 2016, providing detailed analysis for 2015. The sixth chapter covers national victimization surveys, providing rates for the main indicators every five years from 1990 to 2015. As with every new edition of the Sourcebook, the group has tried to improve data quality as well as comparability and, where appropriate, increase the scope of data collection. This new edition will continue to promote comparative research throughout Europe and make European experiences and data available worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines Mexico's progress toward implementation of the country's "new" criminal justice system, which introduces the use of oral, adversarial proceedings and other measures to improve the handling of criminal cases in terms of efficiency, transparency, and fairness to the parties involved. The report provides a general background on the 2008 judicial reform initiative, and examines Mexican government efforts to implement the reforms at the federal, state, and judicial district level, relying on a unique dataset and maps generated by the Justice in Mexico program based at the University of San Diego. As an additional resource, this report also contains a translation of the 2008 constitutional changes underlying the reforms
Download or read book Undeniable Atrocities written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book C mo se fractura un sistema penal acusatorio written by María del Pilar Zuleta Gómez and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra presenta una reflexión detallada de las distintas modalidades en las que la parte acusadora y el juez pueden operar modificaciones a los hechos y a la calificación jurídica objeto del proceso penal, con especial énfasis en sus alcances y resultados, evidenciando a lo largo de un recorrido casuística iberoamericano las consecuencias que estos cambios pueden atraer sobre el debido proceso y la tutela judicial efectiva. La comprobación de los resultados de la aplicación de las fórmulas que comúnmente se aceptan para admitir la introducción de reformas y, en algunos casos, verdaderas transformaciones de los cargos que se le formulan y se le dan a conocer al imputado ofrece resultados inequívocos que apuntan a diluir la separación de funciones entre acusar y juzgar, a minimizar la defensa a niveles de ineficacia y a enrarecer la imparcialidad judicial a la que cualquier ciudadano puede aspirar. Una vez demostrado que las bases del sistema acusatorio pueden resultar fracturadas en esos contextos, sobre todo ante la tendencia a flexibilizar los requisitos para la materialización de esas innovaciones, se ofrecen en el texto nuevas formas de reinterpretar los principios en juego y las reglas que los concretan, en procura de fortalecer la congruencia del fallo en el marco de lo prefijado por quien acusa y frente a lo cual el justiciable se ha defendido, manteniendo en el juzgador la facultad de imponer el derecho de forma imparcial.

Download or read book El control de la acusaci n Una reflexi n sobre los l mites del poder de acusar en el Estado constitucional de derecho written by José Joaquín Urbano Martínez and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De los instrumentos de derecho internacional de derechos humanos y de derecho penal internacional, de las constituciones políticas y de sus interpretaciones autorizadas, se infiere un conjunto de principios normativos del proceso penal que determinan una estructura básica y que sientan las bases para la elaboración de un modelo dogmático, Uno de los elementos para tener en cuenta en esta tarea es el atinente a los límites del poder de acusar y a la instancia concebida para la verificación del respeto de esos límites.Con todo, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en la mayoría de regímenes del derecho comparado, de la estructura del proceso penal colombiano no hace parte una fase intermedia ante el juez de las audiencias preliminares que comprenda el control material de la acusación, Además, la interpretación jurisprudencial plantea que solo hay lugar a un control ante el juez de conocimiento que, para no afectar su imparcialidad, se limita a la verificación de los presupuestos formales del escrito de acusación.Sin embargo, la práctica judicial evidencia situaciones en las que ese escrito presenta manifiestas irregularidades que no son susceptibles de ser superadas por vía de un control formal. En estos casos es posible un control excepcional de la acusación que, sin recaer sobre su fundamento sustancial, impida, en situaciones extremas, el abuso del poder de acusar, y como el control formal y el control excepcional de extremos sobre la acusación no solucionan el problema central planteado por la inexistencia de un control material, el camino más expedito para hacerlo es una reforma al Código de Procedimiento Penal. Hasta tanto, los instrumentos a los que se podría acudir con ese propósito son el autocontrol de la Fiscalía y la acción de tutela.
Download or read book The Trial written by Sadakat Kadri and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as accuser and accused have faced each other in public, criminal trials have been establishing far more than who did what to whom–and in this fascinating book, Sadakat Kadri surveys four thousand years of courtroom drama. A brilliantly engaging writer, Kadri journeys from the silence of ancient Egypt’s Hall of the Dead to the clamor of twenty-first-century Hollywood to show how emotion and fear have inspired Western notions of justice–and the extent to which they still riddle its trials today. He explains, for example, how the jury emerged in medieval England from trials by fire and water, in which validations of vengeance were presumed to be divinely supervised, and how delusions identical to those that once sent witches to the stake were revived as accusations of Satanic child abuse during the 1980s. Lifting the lid on a particularly bizarre niche of legal history, Kadri tells how European lawyers once prosecuted animals, objects, and corpses–and argues that the same instinctive urge to punish is still apparent when a child or mentally ill defendant is accused of sufficiently heinous crimes. But Kadri’s history is about aspiration as well as ignorance. He shows how principles such as the right to silence and the right to confront witnesses, hallmarks of due process guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, were derived from the Bible by twelfth-century monks. He tells of show trials from Tudor England to Stalin’s Soviet Union, but contends that “no-trials,” in Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere, are just as repugnant to Western traditions of justice and fairness. With governments everywhere eroding legal protections in the name of an indefinite war on terror, Kadri’s analysis could hardly be timelier. At once encyclopedic and entertaining, comprehensive and colorful, The Trial rewards curiosity and an appreciation of the absurd but tackles as well questions that are profound. Who has the right to judge, and why? What did past civilizations hope to achieve through scapegoats and sacrifices–and to what extent are defendants still made to bear the sins of society at large? Kadri addresses such themes through scores of meticulously researched stories, all told with the verve and wit that won him one of Britain’s most prestigious travel-writing awards–and in doing so, he has created a masterpiece of popular history.

Download or read book Reporting Dangerously written by Simon Cottle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More journalists are being killed, attacked and intimidated than at any time in history. Reporting Dangerously: Journalist Killings, Intimidation and Security examines the statistics and looks at the trends in journalist killings and intimidation around the world. It identifies what factors have led to this rise and positions these in historical and global contexts. This important study also provides case studies and first-hand accounts from journalists working in some of the most dangerous places in the world today and seeks to understand the different pressures they must confront. It also examines industry and political responses to these trends and pressures as well as the latest international initiatives aimed at challenging cultures of impunity and keeping journalists safe. Throughout, the authors argue that journalism contributes a vital if often neglected role in the formation and conduct of civil societies. This is why reporting from ‘uncivil’ places matters and this is why journalists are often positioned in harm’s way. The responsibility to report in a globalizing world of crises and human insecurity, and the responsibility to try and keep journalists safe while they do so, it is argued, belongs to us all.
