Book La reforma penitenciaria en la historia contempor  nea espa  ola

Download or read book La reforma penitenciaria en la historia contempor nea espa ola written by Isabel Ramos Vázquez and published by Editorial Dykinson, S.L.. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La consolidación de la pena privativa de libertad como pena típica de las sociedades contemporáneas, y la reforma penitenciaria por la que esta nueva penalidad se fue imponiendo en los ordenamientos jurídicos de los nuevos Estados de Derecho, fue probablemente uno de los proyectos más apasionados, esperanzadores y humanitarios de los que se acometieron a comienzos de la Edad Contemporánea. Esta obra pretende aportar una nueva perspectiva al estudio de la reforma penitenciaria española, desde sus antecedentes más inmediatos, a finales del Antiguo Régimen, hasta que la Guerra Civil española pusiera fin su impulso original a principios del siglo XX. A lo largo de sus páginas, se trata de indagar en los orígenes y el devenir histórico de reforma penitenciaria española, contextualizándola en el ámbito internacional, y aplicando fundamentalmente una metodología de estudio histórico-jurídica, a través del análisis de las principales doctrinas científicas que influyeron en su desarrollo y del espíritu de las leyes en las que se sustentó durante su largo recorrido. Isabel Ramos Vázquez es Profesora Titular de Historia del Derecho y de las Instituciones de la Universidad de Jaén. Doctora en Derecho (Universidad de Jaén, 2001), Doctora en Historia (Universidad de Educación a Distancia, 2013), una de sus principales líneas de investigación en los últimos tiempos ha sido la historia del derecho penal y penitenciario, con obras como Arrestos, cárceles y prisiones en los derechos históricos españoles, Premio Nacional de Investigación Victoria Kent 2007, Ministerio del Interior, Madrid, 2008, o La mujer en la cárcel: historia jurídica y políticas penitenciarias en España, XIV Premio Leonor Guzmán de la Diputación de Córdova y la Universidad de Córdoba, Córdoba, 2011.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oddball comedy starring Matt Lucas. Bald and morbidly obese Franklin Franklin (Lucas) lives in an apartment complex filled with other quirky and eccentric characters including his stoner neighbour Tommy Balls (Johnny Knoxville) and the permanently bitter Mr. Allspice (James Caan). In a heated argument over rent, Franklin accidentally kills his landlord Mr Olivetti (Peter Stormare) and while staging the death as a suicide unwittingly causes a fire. When he hears that his brother has died from a brain tumour and left him a rather large amount of money in a Swiss bank account, Franklin sees an opportunity to make his escape, but before he can do so, he'll have to avoid detection by the fire investigation team led by Burt Walnut (Billy Crystal).

Book Between Prison and Probation

Download or read book Between Prison and Probation written by Norval Morris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-09-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country prisons are jammed to capacity and, in extreme cases, barges and mobile homes are used to stem the overflow. Probation officers in some cities have caseloads of 200 and more--hardly a manageable number of offenders to track and supervise. And with about one million people in prison and jail, and two and a half million on probation, it is clear we are experiencing a crisis in our penal system. In Between Prison and Probation, Norval Morris and Michael Tonry, two of the nation's leading criminologists, offer an important and timely strategy for alleviating these problems. They argue that our overwhelmed corrections system cannot cope with the flow of convicted offenders because the two extremes of punishment--imprisonment and probation--are both used excessively, with a near-vacuum of useful punishments in between. Morris and Tonry propose instead a comprehensive program that relies on a range of punishment including fines and other financial sanctions, community service, house arrest, intensive probation, closely supervised treatment programs for drugs, alcohol and mental illness, and electronic monitoring of movement. Used in rational combinations, these "intermediate" punishments would better serve the community than our present polarized choice. Serious consideration of these punishments has been hindered by the widespread perception that they are therapeutic rather than punitive. The reality, however, Morris and Tonry argue, "is that the American criminal justice system is both too severe and too lenient--almost randomly." Systematically implemented and rigorously enforced, intermediate punishments can "better and more economically serve the community, the victim, and the criminal than the prison terms and probation orders they supplant." Between Prison and Probation goes beyond mere advocacy of an increasing use of intermediate punishments; the book also addresses the difficult task of fitting these punishments into a comprehensive, fair and community-protective sentencing system.

Book Colonial Situations

  • Publisher : Univ of Wisconsin Press
  • Release : 1991-10-01
  • ISBN : 0299131238
  • Pages : 351 pages

Download or read book Colonial Situations written by George W. Stocking and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As European colonies in Asia and Africa became independent nations, as the United States engaged in war in Southeast Asia and in covert operations in South America, anthropologists questioned their interactions with their subjects and worried about the political consequences of government-supported research. By 1970, some spoke of anthropology as “the child of Western imperialism” and as “scientific colonialism.” Ironically, as the link between anthropology and colonialism became more widely accepted within the discipline, serious interest in examining the history of anthropology in colonial contexts diminished. This volume is an effort to initiate a critical historical consideration of the varying “colonial situations” in which (and out of which) ethnographic knowledge essential to anthropology has been produced. The essays comment on ethnographic work from the middle of the nineteenth century to nearly the end of the twentieth, in regions from Oceania through southeast Asia, the Andaman Islands, and southern Africa to North and South America. The “colonial situations” also cover a broad range, from first contact through the establishment of colonial power, from District Officer administrations through white settler regimes, from internal colonialism to international mandates, from early “pacification” to wars of colonial liberation, from the expropriation of land to the defense of ecology. The motivations and responses of the anthropologists discussed are equally varied: the romantic resistance of Maclay and the complicity of Kubary in early colonialism; Malinowski’s salesmanship of academic anthropology; Speck’s advocacy of Indian land rights; Schneider’s grappling with the ambiguities of rapport; and Turner’s facilitation of Kaiapo cinematic activism. “Provides fresh insights for those who care about the history of science in general and that of anthropology in particular, and a valuable reference for professionals and graduate students.”—Choice “Among the most distinguished publications in anthropology, as well as in the history of social sciences.”—George Marcus, Anthropologica

Book Governing Prisons

  • Author : John J. DiIulio
  • Publisher : Simon and Schuster
  • Release : 1990-06
  • ISBN : 0029078830
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book Governing Prisons written by John J. DiIulio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1990-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the accepted notions about prisons, Dilulio argues that, far from being traps for society's refuse, they must and can be made safely humane. He shows that the key to better prisons is a highly disciplined constitutional government employing prison managers who are strong enough to control the inmates yet obliged to control themselves. The book illustrates how the use of such a governing system can provide order, encourage civilized behaviour, and enforce punishment that is just, as well as merciful.

Book The Prison Community

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donald Clemmer
  • Publisher : Palgrave MacMillan
  • Release : 2025-01-15
  • ISBN : 9783031746048
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book The Prison Community written by Donald Clemmer and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2025-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prison Community was a landmark study on prison culture and social processes, first published in 1940 (and reissued in 1958). This reissue includes a new introduction by Wildeman and Wakefield to situate the study in a contemporary context, alongside the foreword by Donald R. Cressey. The original book represented one of the first studies to take the cultural, social, and administrative conditions of confinement seriously, providing insight into how incarcerated people make community within a correctional facility, the structural conditions that determine such relationships, and the constraints that prison administration both operates under and imposes. The Prison Community is best known for developing the concept of 'prisonization' or the process by which incarcerated people learn and adopt the norms, values, and cultures of prison communities. This book is key for undergraduate and graduate courses on penology and is relevant for a host of contemporary issues of interest including reentry success, network science, and the structural determinants of cultural values and norms. Donald Clemmer was born in 1903 and died in 1965, serving as Director of Corrections for the District of Columbia and the immediate past President of the American Correctional Association at the time of his death. For most of his life, he worked inside prisons and wrote The Prison Community in the late 1930s. Christopher Wildeman is Professor of Sociology & Public Policy (by courtesy) at Duke University, where he is also Director of the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect, and Research Professor at the ROCKWOOL Foundation Research Unit. Sara Wakefield is Professor of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, Newark and a graduate faculty affiliate in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

Book In Russian and French Prisons

Download or read book In Russian and French Prisons written by Peter Kropotkin and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1887, “In Russian and French Prisons” is Peter Kropotkin's detailed critique of French and Russian prisons in the late 19th century. Within it, Kropotkin offers poignant descriptions of the conditions of those who undergo solitary confinement while offering his own panacea to the wealth of problems engendered by the existence of prisons: abolish them entirely. Although written over a century ago, Kropotkin's astute criticisms of the penal system are still very much relevant today. Contents include: “My First acquaintance With Russian Prisons”, “Russian Prisons”, “He Fortress Of St. Peter And St. Paul”, “Outcast Russia”, “The Exile In Siberia”, “The Exile On Sakhali”, “A Foreigner On Russian Prisons”, etc. Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin (1842–1921) was a Russian writer, activist, revolutionary, economist, scientist, sociologist, essayist, historian, researcher, political scientist, geographer, geographer, biologist, philosopher and advocate of anarcho-communism. He was a prolific writer, producing a large number of pamphlets and articles, the most notable being “The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops” and “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution”. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an excerpt from “Comrade Kropotkin” by Victor Robinson.

Book Scripts  Plans  Goals  and Understanding

Download or read book Scripts Plans Goals and Understanding written by Roger C. Schank and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1977. In the summer of 1971, there was a workshop in an ill-defined field at the intersection of psychology, artificial intelligence, and linguistics. The fifteen participants were in various ways interested in the representation of large systems of knowledge (or beliefs) based upon an understanding process operating upon information expressed in natural language. This book reflects a convergence of interests at the intersection of psychology and artificial intelligence. What is the nature of knowledge and how is this knowledge used? These questions lie at the core of both psychology and artificial intelligence.
