Download or read book Insider Dealing and Criminal Law written by Iwona Seredyńska and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a multidisciplinary analysis of the issue of insider dealing from the perspective of the applicability of criminal law to regulate it. First, it examines the nature of its prohibition in the European Union and in the United States of America. The text includes a more extensive overview of prohibition in four Member States of the European Union (France, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Poland). Then, it summarises the arguments presented by ethicists and economists in favour of and against insider dealing. Further, it analyses the foundations of criminal law and justifications that are given for its application. On the basis of this analysis, it presents a new two-step theory of criminalisation. The first step is based on a liberal theory of wrongfulness that makes reference to protection of the basic human rights. The second step relies on classical but often forgotten principles of criminal law. Finally, it examines possible alternatives to criminal rules.
Download or read book Criminal law between war and peace written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Ministerio de Justicia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.
Download or read book Teor a funcional de la pena y de la culpabilidad written by Manuel Cancio Meliá and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Günther Jakobs, profesor emérito de Derecho penal y filosofía del Derecho en la Universidad de Bonn, ha elaborado en los últimos treinta años un edificio teórico que destaca, ante todo, porque intenta establecer el sentido de la pena estatal no sólo desde la perspectiva aislada del autor y de su hecho (ni, desde luego, de la de la víctima y su sufrimiento), sino también desde el punto de vista de su función social. Esta perspectiva fundamental define todas las instituciones de la teoría del delito, y, muy especialmente, la de la culpabilidad, inextricablemente unida a la función de la pena en la teoría de la prevención general positiva. En la presente publicación, Jakobs aborda tres cuestiones nucleares en este ámbito central de la reflexión jurídico-penal: en primer lugar, el problema de los límites de la pena estatal ante la emergencia jurídico-positiva de nuevas formas de Derecho penal de excepción, en el marco de la polémica construcción teórica por él elaborada bajo el rótulo de “Derecho penal del enemigo”; en segundo lugar, la relevancia de los nuevos conocimientos científicos generados en los últimos años por la investigación neurológica para el concepto jurídico-penal de culpabilidad; en tercer lugar, el problema -tradicional, pero que adquiere nueva relevancia en el momento actual- de la posible influencia de una socialización ajena al contexto de la sociedad en la que se aplica la norma jurídico-penal en el contenido de la culpabilidad. Los tres estudios del profesor Jakobs aquí reunidos se acompañan de breves réplicas elaboradas por profesores de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y de una síntesis del debate producido en el marco de un seminario realizado en otoño de 2006. Se documenta así, en el septuagésimo cumpleaños del autor, el intenso intercambio de opiniones entre el profesor de Bonn y la ciencia del Derecho penal hecha en español.
Download or read book Femicide written by Jill Radford and published by Twayne Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an anthology of articles analyzing femicide - the misogynist killing of women by men - in the U.S., U.K., and India. The articles in Part 1 explore the history of femicide, demonstrating that it is as old as patriarchy itself. Part 2 explodes the myth that the home provides a safe haven for women. In Part 3 the complex interactions of racism and femicide are explored, showing that femicide is no respecter of race, class or culture. Part 4 concentrates on media representations of femicide, showing that media generally fail to identify the sexual politics of femicide, and often sympathize with the male murderer at the expense of the female victim. Part 5 looks at the response of the criminal justice system to femicide, while Part 6 discusses the ways in which women have begun to fight back.
Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Download or read book Schooling for Sustainable Development in South America written by Maria Lucia de Amorim Soares and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book supplies both empirical evidence and scholarly analysis that exemplify successful innovation in South America in the field of sustainability education. Examining the issues from a three-fold perspective, of national policy, regional planning and grassroots projects in schools and communities, the volume offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary situation in Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Venezuela. It provides case studies as detailed illustrations of the recipe for success as well as to inform researchers and practitioners of the kinds of obstacles and challenges they might face in seeking to manifest sustainability. A good deal of the research and scholarly studies in the field of education for sustainability and sustainable development is underpinned by ‘Western’ norms and culture. This book draws on that literature, yet also teases out features in the case studies that are particular to the region. South America itself encompasses a rich variety of natural and cultural environments—within individual nations as much as continent-wide. This diversity is a recurring theme in the book. The volume’s three sections provide first a general survey, enriched with material from studies conducted in a number of different polities. The second section covers developments in Brazil, South America’s largest nation and one that exhibits many of the features of education for sustainability found across the continent. Part three sets out and explores future trends. As with other books in the Schooling for Sustainable Development series, this volume will add impetus to scholarly exchange as well as contributing insights on education policy and curriculum changes across South American communities that exist in an increasingly globalized world.

Download or read book Equity in the Civil Law Tradition written by Renato Beneduzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book on “equity in the civil law tradition” from the double perspective of legal history and comparative law. It is intended not only for civil lawyers who want to better understand the role and history of equity in their own legal tradition, but also – and perhaps more saliently – for common lawyers who are curious about why the history of equity has unfolded so differently on the continent of Europe and in Latin America. The author begins with the investigation of the philosophical foundations of the Western notion of equity in the teachings of Plato and Aristotle and of how their ideas affected the works of the great Attic orators (chapter 2). He then addresses the way in which Roman law turned this notion into a legal concept of considerable practical importance (chapter 3) and how it survived the fall of Rome and was later elaborated in the Middle Ages by civilists and canonists (chapter 4). Subsequently, the author analyses how the notion of equity was dealt with in the Modern Era by legal humanists, Protestant and Catholic theologians, scholars of the usus modernus pandectarum and of Roman-Dutch law, and then by legal rationalism and the philosophers of the Enlightenment (chapter 5). He then deals with the history of equity on the continent since the fragmentation of the ius commune and the codifications of the nineteenth century and with its reception in Latin America (chapter 6). Finally, the author offers some closing remarks on the fundamental equivocalness (or relativity, as some scholars put it) of the notion of equity in the civil law tradition today (conclusion).
Download or read book Modelo normativista de imputaci n en macrocriminalidad y cr menes internacionales written by Jorge Fernando Perdomo Torres and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las ideas que se proponen en este trabajo toman principalmente por base las elaboraciones teóricas propuestas, durante su larga carrera científica, por el profesor alemán Günther Jakobs. Son varias décadas de investigación de ya una escuela (la escuela de Bonn) que cuenta con seguidores en muchos países europeos y americanos, donde académicos y dogmáticos del derecho penal profundizaron y explicaron sus conceptos, crearon nuevas categorías e impulsaron profundas discusiones penales. En suma, donde se ha pretendido estudiar los problemas sociales a partir de una visión holística de la ciencia penal; una visión no individualista y en muchos aspectos más cercana a la posmodernidad. Es una perspectiva funcional-normativista del derecho penal que consideramos apta y con suficiente capacidad de rendimiento para explicar el derecho penal de la sociedad mundo, donde el riesgo y la diferenciación deben ser entendidos. Esta moderna sociedad también conoce el crimen, lo que sucede es que este es ahora global, propio de estructuras organizativas de muchos órdenes, de macroestructuras criminales nacionales y trasnacionales que operan en redes. En definitiva, son nuevas formas de aparición del fenómeno criminal que desafían todos los días la capacidad de aprehensión teórica de la dogmática del derecho penal tradicional. Ante estas nuevas realidades una concepción normativa de la ciencia penal ilumina el camino, abre senderos hasta ahora poco recorridos y, por consiguiente, aporta cimientos a la tan anhelada seguridad jurídica. En estas líneas se pretende explicar los elementos fundamentales de la imputación penal en supuestos de macrocriminalidad y de crímenes internacionales, ámbitos donde la imputación penal no puede ser entendida solamente desde la acción individual del agente. Por ello, la propuesta que hacemos es un modelo social de imputación, a partir de los elementos de las teorías de la imputación objetiva y de las posiciones de garante, buscando así crear un gran esquema interpretativo de la realidad de la gran criminalidad. En la primera parte de este trabajo expondremos la discusión tradicional sobre responsabilidad penal al interior de estructuras delincuenciales, explicando las diferentes propuestas de solución para la imputación del jefe o cabecilla de la organización. Pues en efecto, todos los esfuerzos teóricos han estado enfocados desde siempre en la responsabilidad individual de un sujeto, quizás el más importante dentro de la organización, pero a la vez quien menos contribuye empíricamente al hecho, y poco en la responsabilidad de la organización o del colectivo. Las visiones causalista o finalista del delito palidecen ante semejante desafío. Solo la pionera propuesta de Claus Roxin sobre autoría mediata en virtud de aparatos organizados de poder puede ser leída generosamente como un antecedente importante para una correcta solución; no obstante, el lector atento podrá advertir que la importancia del aporte de este autor se ve menguada por el apego a categorías tradicionales del derecho penal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title describes how the practice and evolution of warfare have turned international humanitarian law into an enigmatic law that is complex to understand, interpret, and enforce. It identifies the challenges that advocates of international humanitarian law face, which range from genocide, asymmetrical warfare, and terrorism to rape as a weapon. The author demonstrates that this branch of international law is in constant evolution.
