Download or read book Juvenile Law Violators Human Rights and the Development of New Juvenile Justice Systems written by Eric L Jensen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together scholars and practitioners specialising in juvenile justice from the US, Europe, alongside scholars from Africa and Asia who are working on human rights issues in developing countries or countries in transition. The book thus presents two types of papers, the first being descriptive and analytical academic papers on whole systems of juvenile justice or certain parts thereof (e.g., aftercare, restorative justice, etc.). These topics are presented as essential for the development of new juvenile justice systems. The second group of papers deal with efforts to promote reform through international activity (PRI, DCI, DIHR), and through efforts to utilise modern theory in national reforms in developing countries (Malawi, Nepal, and Serbia) or in countries experiencing current or recent political and systemic changes or developments (South Africa, Germany, and Poland). The volume is also intended to throw light on recent trends in juvenile crime in various countries, the relationship between actual developments and popular and political perceptions and reactions to such developments, including the efforts to locate effective alternatives to the incarceration of young offenders. At the same time as the search for such alternatives is being intensified through international exchange and experimentation, the amelioration of harsh measures against juvenile law violators is often countered by political and public outcries for security and demonstrative public intervention against misbehavior. A streak of new moralism is clearly discernable as a counteracting force against more humane reform efforts. The volume throws light on developments in the actual parameters of juvenile offending, public and political demands for security and public intervention, and measures to provide interventions which are at the same time compatible with international human rights instruments.

Download or read book Violence Against Children in the Criminal Justice System written by Wendy O'Brien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children who come into conflict with the law are more likely to have experienced violence or adversity than their non-offending peers. Exacerbating the deleterious effects of this childhood trauma, children’s contact with the criminal justice system poses undue risks of physical, sexual, and psychological violence. This book examines the specific forms of violence that children experience through their contact with the criminal justice system. Comprising contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in children’s rights and youth justice, this book profiles evidence-based prevention strategies and case studies from around the world. It illustrates the diversity of contexts in which various forms of violence against children unfold and advances knowledge about both the nature and extent of violence against children in criminal justice settings, and the specific situational factors that contribute to, or inhibit, the successful implementation of violence prevention strategies. It demonstrates that specialised child justice systems, in which children’s rights are upheld, are crucial in preventing the violence inherent to conventional criminal justice regimes. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be of interest to students and researchers engaged in studies of criminology and criminal justice, youth justice, victimology, crime prevention, and children’s rights.

Download or read book Mano Dura Policies in Latin America written by Jonathan D. Rosen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading scholars and policy analysts from around the Americas come together to untangle the factors that have fuelled the implementation of mano dura politics, their rising popularity, and impacts across nine widely heterogeneous countries in Latin America. Beginning with a discussion on the concept of mano dura, the editors move to survey various theoretical approaches to punitivism, and later review of the empirical research evaluating different drivers behind the adoption of tough on crime policies. Since hard-line initiatives often have consequences beyond the general goal of reducing violence, they then analyze the impacts of these policing strategies on crime rates and different democratic institutions. Country chapters on Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina follow a common thematic structure to answer the following questions: What are some of the trends in gangs, organized crime, and violence? How have governments responded to combat crime and violence? What factors have fuelled the implementation of mano dura policies? Why are mano dura policies popular? What have the consequences of these policies been? Mano Dura Policies in Latin America is essential reading to students of Latin American studies, political science, public policy, and criminal justice. It will also interest scholars working on drug trafficking, organized crime, and violence in Latin America.

This book was released on with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bajo la óptica del derecho comparado, existe la oportunidad de conocer el procedimiento penal seguido para menores en conflicto con la Ley, el tramo de edad a partir del cual se exige responsabilidad penal, la especialización de todos los profesionales que intervienen desde Jueces, Fiscales, Abogados, Policías, etc., que intervienen en el área del menor, sobre el principio acusatorio o las garantías procesales previstas para el menor infractor. En cuanto a la ejecución de medidas judiciales, el eje central es la educación y socialización del adolescente. Sin embargo, cada país tiene su singularidad propia, así en las medidas privativas de libertad es importante la edad y la tipología de delito en algunos países. De gran riqueza informativa es la parte dedicada a las soluciones extrajudiciales, sobre todo al Instituto de la mediación, en el que la participación de la víctima es fundamental. Espero que la lectura de los capítulos de los diferentes países, despierte el entusiasmo por mi experimentado, y que el esfuerzo de sus intervinientes se vea compensado con el aprendizaje y sensibilización en el tratamiento del menor...

Download or read book Derecho penal de menores written by Montero Hernanz, Tomás and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente monografía nace del convencimiento de la necesidad de ofrecer a quienes se acercan a la legislación reguladora de la responsabilidad penal de los menores una visión diferente a la que tradicionalmente ofrecen los manuales de derecho. Como su propio subtítulo visibiliza, es una obra de carácter introductorio, que ha pretendido que sitúe al estudioso de la materia en disposición de un conocimiento global desde el que poder adentrarse en este campo del derecho. Es un manual enfocado a estudiantes de derecho penal y de ejecución penal juvenil, motivo por el que no se han tenido en cuenta aspectos relacionados con el derecho procesal, más allá de una visión panorámica de los diferentes intervinientes en la jurisdicción de menores. En esa pretensión de ofrecer una visión diferente se han elegido cuidadosamente los aspectos que se querían abordar, y donde no podía faltar el análisis histórico y contextualizador de la justicia juvenil. La Ley Orgánica reguladora de la responsabilidad penal de los menores es la parte central de este manual, si bien no en toda su extensión y con un enfoque distinto a los trabajos que sobre ella se han publicado. Su estudio se ha ordenado en torno a dos bloques temáticos. En el primero se lleva a cabo un acercamiento a algunos de los principios que están detrás de la Ley. Desde allí, junto a los intervinientes en esta jurisdicción, se hace un análisis de su ámbito de aplicación, de las medidas que prevé y de las reglas para determinar su aplicación. El segundo bloque se ha centrado en la ejecución de las medidas. En este análisis se ha tratado de recoger la experiencia del derecho penitenciario, de forma que el conocimiento de sus límites pueda servir de referencia a la hora de analizar el derecho penal juvenil, al que el legislador optó por dejar, en materia de ejecución, sin un derecho supletorio, a pesar de las importantes similitudes entre la Ley Orgánica 5/2000 y la legislación penitenciaria.
