The Trial on Trial: Volume 3: Towards a Normative Theory of the Criminal Trial
ISBN: 9781841136981 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The criminal trial is under attack. Traditional principles have been challenged or eroded. In England and Wales, the right to trial by jury has been restricted and rules concerning bad character evidence, double jeopardy, and the right to silence have been substantially altered to -rebalance- the system in favor of victims. In the pursuit of security, particularly from terrorism, the right to a fair trial has been denied to some altogether. In fact, trials have for a long time been an infrequent occurrence, with most criminal convictions being the consequence of a guilty plea. Moreover, while...

Answering for Crime: Responsibility and Liability in the Criminal Law
ISBN: 9781841137537 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This long-awaited book, by the celebrated philosopher Antony Duff, offers a new perspective on the structures of criminal law and criminal liability. The book's starting point is a distinction between responsibility (understood as answerability) and liability, and a conception of responsibility as relational and practice-based. This focus on responsibility, as a matter of being answerable to those who have the standing to call one to account, throws new light on a range of questions in criminal law theory: on the question of criminalization, which can now be cast as the question of what we...

Towards a European Criminal Record
ISBN: 9780521866699 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The success of the four core freedoms of the EU has created fertile ground for transnational organised crime. Innovative, transnational legal weapons are therefore required by national authorities. The availability of data on criminal convictions is at the forefront of the debate. But which mechanism for availability can be used effectively while at the same time respecting an increasingly higher level of data protection at national level? In the fluid, post-'Reform Treaty' environment, the EU is moving towards the creation of a European Criminal Record which will ultimately secure...

The Meaning of Criminal Law

Addressing touchstone cases of the U.S. Supreme Court on substantive criminal law, the book proposes that the Court has consistently failed to provide a theory of substantive criminal law. In addition, the book criticizes the Courts superficial understanding of fundamental principles of criminal theory. More specifically, in highlighting the inherent nexus between constitutional law and substantive criminal law, the book examines the American Supreme Courts reluctance to entangle with the constitutional...

Comparative Perspectives on Revenue Law
ISBN: 9780521887779 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dedicated to the work of John Tiley, the premier tax academic in the UK for more than two decades, this volume of essays focuses on two themes that, among others, inspire the writings of Tiley. The first of these themes, tax avoidance, involves using tax law in a manner that is contrary to legislative intent. The second of these themes, taxation of the family, involves proper identification of the tax subject and is therefore one of the fundamental structural features of income tax. Drawing on historical precedent, academic excellence and personal experience, the importance of Tiley's...

Offender Profiling in the Courtroom: The Use and Abuse of Expert Witness Testimony
ISBN: 9780313362101 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offender profiling is mainly used by the police to narrow down suspects in cases where no physical evidence was left at a crime scene. Recently, however, this technique has been introduced into the courtroom as evidence, raising questions of its reliability, validity, and admissibility at trial. Because offender profiling was not originally intended to be used in the courtroom, its entrance there has caused both confusion and controversy. "Offender Profiling in the Courtroom" discusses the use of profiling evidence in criminal trials. Ebisike also covers the history, development,...

Honor and Violence in Golden Age Spain
ISBN: 9780300126853 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early modern Spain has long been viewed as having a culture obsessed with honor, where a man resorted to violence when his or his wife's honor was threatened, especially through sexual disgrace. This book--the first to closely examine honor and interpersonal violence in the era--overturns this idea, arguing that the way Spanish men and women actually behaved was very different from the behavior depicted in dueling manuals, law books, and "honor plays" of the period. Drawing on criminal and other records to assess the character of violence among non-elite Spaniards, historian Scott K....

Darfur and the Crime of Genocide
ISBN: 9780521515672 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 2004, the State Department gathered more than a thousand interviews from refugees in Chad that verified Colin Powell s U.N. and congressional testimonies about the Darfur genocide. The survey cost nearly a million dollars to conduct and yet it languished in the archives as the killing continued, claiming hundreds of thousands of murder and rape victims and restricting several million survivors to camps. This book for the first time fully examines that survey and its heartbreaking accounts. It documents the Sudanese government s enlistment of Arab Janjaweed militias in destroying black...
