ISBN: 9780195146028 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Over 7,000 people have been legally executed in the United States this century, and over 3,000 men and women now sit on death rows across the country awaiting the same fate. Since the Supreme Court temporarily halted capital punishment in 1972, the death penalty has returned with a vengeance. Today there appears to be a widespread public consensus in favor of capital punishment and considerable political momentum to ensure that those sentenced to death are actually executed. Yet the death penalty remains troubling and controversial for many people. The Killing State: Capital...

Law Without Justice: Why Criminal Law Doesn't Give People What They Deserve
ISBN: 9780195160154 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) If an innocent person is sent to prison or if a killer walks free, we are outraged. The legal system assures us, and we expect and demand, that it will seek to "do justice" in criminal cases. So why, for some cases, does the criminal law deliberately and routinely sacrifice justice? In this unflinching look at American criminal law, Paul Robinson and Michael Cahill demonstrate that cases with unjust outcomes are not always irregular or unpredictable. Rather, the criminal law sometimes chooses not to give defendants what they deserve: that is, unsatisfying results occur even when the system...

Juvenile Justice in the Making
ISBN: 9780195160451 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) "Tried as an adult." The phrase rings with increasing frequency through America's courtrooms. In Michigan, an 11-year-old is charged with first-degree homicide in the shooting death of a playmate. A mentally disabled boy in Florida faces armed robbery and extortion charges that could bring 30 years in prison for stealing $2 worth of food. Faith in childhood, and its corollary that separate courts are required for children because they are developmentally different from adults, appears to be vanishing. Almost forgotten in this climate--in which a New York Times' headline boldly announced that...

Punishment, Communication, and Community
ISBN: 9780195166668 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The question "What can justify criminal punishment ?" becomes especially insistent at times, like our own, of penal crisis, when serious doubts are raised not only about the justice or efficacy of particular modes of punishment, but about the very legitimacy of the whole penal system. Recent theorizing about punishment offers a variety of answers to that question-answers that try to make plausible sense of the idea that punishment is justified as being deserved for past crimes; answers that try to identify some beneficial consequences in terms of which punishment might be justified; as well...

Juvenile Justice in the Making
ISBN: 9780195306507 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In his engaging narrative history of the rise and workings of America's first juvenile court, David S. Tanenhaus explores the fundamental and enduring question of how the law should treat the young. Sifting through almost 3,000 previously unexamined Chicago case files from the early twentieth century, Tanenhaus reveals how children's advocates slowly built up a separate system for juveniles, all the while fighting political and legal battles to legitimate this controversial institution. Harkening back to a more hopeful and nuanced age, Juvenile Justice in the Making provides a...

Overcriminalization: The Limits of the Criminal Law
ISBN: 9780195328714 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The United States today suffers from too much criminal law and too much punishment. Husak describes the phenomena in some detail and explores their relation, and why these trends produce massive injustice. His primary goal is to defend a set of constraints that limit the authority of states to enact and enforce penal offenses. The book urges the weight and relevance of this topic in the real world, and notes that most Anglo-American legal philosophers have neglected it. Husak's secondary goal is to situate this endeavor in criminal theory as traditionally construed. He argues that many of the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) New discoveries from neuroscience and behavioral genetics are besieging criminal law.

Rituals of Retribution: Capital Punishment in Germany, 1600-1987
ISBN: 9780198219682 / Angielski / Twarda / 1048 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The state has no greater power over its own citizens than that of killing them. This book examines the use of that supreme sanction in Germany, from the seventeenth century to the present.
Richard Evans analyses the system of traditional' capital punishments set out in German law, and the ritual practices and cultural readings associated with them by the time of the early modern period. He shows how this system was challenged by Enlightenment theories of punishment and broke down under the impact of secularization and social change in the first half of the nineteenth century. The...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book analyzes the means by which the Japanese government regulates business activity, principally through the use of competition or anti-monopoly laws.

Provocation and Responsibility
ISBN: 9780198256960 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Little has been written by lawyers about the effect of provocation on culpability for homicide in English law, yet the question of what our moral attitudes should be towards someone who kills or injures another in anger has been a source of lively debate for centuries. The first philosophical inquiry into the moral character of actions in anger, it seeks to resolve the philosophical controversies generated by setting them in the context of an examination of the place of anger in human nature throughout history. A previously unexplored area of research, this work breaks new ground in its use...

ISBN: 9780198257660 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the first half of the 1980s a series of high profile and deeply controversial trials, some larger than any criminal proceedings hitherto seen in Ireland or the UK, took place in Northern Ireland on the evidence of "supergrasses" prepared to betray large numbers of their alleged accomplices in return for various rewards. This major scholarly study, which for the first time discusses supergrass trials in a broad criminological, historical, legal, and comparative context, will make a timely and enduring contribution to debates about security policy and anti-terrorist law enforcement in...

Standing Accused: The Organization and Practices of Criminal Defence Lawyers in Britain

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Based on one of the largest observational studies of legal professional practice ever conducted, this book refutes the common conception of criminal cases as a fight between adversaries of equal strength, in which defense lawyers offset the intrusive potential of the State. The authors set their study against a background of the professionalization of criminal justice and the rapidly expanding state funding for criminal defense services. They examine the processes by which lawyers are educated and trained and make a detailed analysis of how cases are handled. The research reveals the...

The Politics of Sentencing Reform
ISBN: 9780198258728 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sentencing practice and reform has in recent years assumed a high political profile in many jurisdictions. Changing public attitudes about the relative seriousness of different offenses, evidence of inconsistent governmental concerns about the escalating costs of criminal justice, and support for a return to more traditional conceptions of justice in the wake of loss of faith in individualistic rehabilitative responses to offending, have all given sharper focus to the reformist agenda. This text brings together case-studies of legislative sentencing reform initiatives in the USA and Canada,...

Structure and Function
ISBN: 9780198258865 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This unique work sheds much new light on the old problem of conceptualization and classification within criminal law. Paul H. Robinson argues that the current operational structure of criminal law fails to fully account for its different functions, and proceeds to suggest new sample codes of criminal conduct and adjudication in a study that will be seen as an incisive departure from today's pragmatic approach. The book is an important and well-rounded exploration of the structure of criminal law systems that will appeal to both teachers of law and policy-makers around the globe.

Punishment, Responsibility, and Justice: A Relational Critique
ISBN: 9780198259565 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book addresses the retributive and "orthodox subjectivist" theories that dominate criminal justice theory alongside recent "revisionist" and "postmodern" approaches. Norrie argues that all these approaches, together with their faults and contradictions, stem from their orientation to themes in Kantian moral philosophy. He explores an alternative relational or dialectical approach; examines the work of Ashworth, Duff, Fletcher, Moore, Smith, and Williams; and considers key doctrinal issues.
