International Justice and the International Criminal Court: Between Sovereignty and the Rule of Law
ISBN: 9780199256006 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the Nuremberg Trials of top Nazi leaders following the Second World War, international law has affirmed that no-one, whatever their rank or office, is above accountability for their crimes. Yet the Cold War put geopolitical agendas ahead of effective action against war crimes and major human rights abuses, and no permanent system to address impunity was put in place. It was only with the Cold War's end that governments turned again to international institutions to address impunity, first by establishing International Criminal Tribunals to prosecute genocide, war crimes, and crimes...

The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial
ISBN: 9780199258888 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The adversary system of trial, the defining feature of the Anglo-American legal procedure, developed late in English legal history. For centuries defendants were forbidden to have legal counsel, and lawyers seldom appeared for the prosecution either. Trial was meant to be an occasion for the defendant to answer the charges in person.
The transformation from lawyer-free to lawyer-dominated criminal trial happened within the space of about a century, from the 1690's to the 1780's. This book explains how the lawyers captured the trial. In addition to conventional legal sources, Professor...

Accountability in Restorative Justice
ISBN: 9780199259359 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many countries have recently established restorative justice programmes, in which those affected by a crime attend meetings in the hope of achieving the ideals of reparation, reconciliation and reintegration. To answer concerns that these meetings may degenerate into 'kangaroo courts' in which participants bully and humiliate each other, this book draws upon extensive fieldwork to explore the nature, function and effectiveness of the accountability within this kind of informal justice.

The Tokyo International Military Tribunal
ISBN: 9780199278527 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal (IMT) is not frequently discussed in the literature on international criminal law, and it is often thought that it was little more (and possibly less) than a footnote to the Nuremberg proceedings. This work seeks to dispel this widely-held belief, by showing the way in which the Tokyo IMT was both similar and different to its Nuremberg counterpart, the extent to which the critiques of the Tokyo IMT have purchase, and the Tribunal's contemporary relevance. The book also shows how the IMT needs to be treated, not just as one overarching entity, but also...

ISBN: 9780199282289 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Child sexual abuse prosecutions are often brought following a substantial delay of some years after the alleged abuse. This delay poses a variety of problems for the prosecutions.

Killing in Self-Defence
ISBN: 9780199283460 / Angielski / Twarda / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a comprehensive and intriguing analysis of the criminal defense of self-defense from a philosophical, legal and human rights perspective. Although not always recognized as such, the legality of self-defense is often contentious, as it permits the victim of an attack to preserve his or her life at the expense of another, and as such, it often poses a challenge to attorneys to prove why an aggressor is, for reasons of age or insanity, for example, not responsible for his or her actions. Killing in Self-Defence identifies the proper theoretical basis of the claim of...

Punishing Persistent Offenders: Exploring Community and Offender Perspectives
ISBN: 9780199283897 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite very diverse approaches towards punishing crime, all Western jurisdictions punish repeat offenders more harshly (a practice known as the recidivist sentencing premium) . For many repeat offenders, their previous convictions have more impact on the penalty they receive than the seriousness of their current crime. Why do we punish recidivists more harshly? Some sentencing theorists argue that offenders should be punished only for the crimes they commit - not for the crimes committed and paid for in the past. From this perspective, punishing repeat offenders more severely amounts to...

Bar Wars: Contesting the Night in Contemporary British Cities
ISBN: 9780199297856 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Britain today, if you are in the business of fighting crime, then you have to be in the business of dealing with alcohol. 'Binge drinking' culture is intrinsic to urban leisure and has come to pose a key threat to public order. Unsurprisingly, a struggle is occurring. Pub and club companies, local authorities, central government, the police, the judiciary, local residents, and revelers, all hold variously competing notions of night-time social order and the uses and meanings of public and private space. Bar Wars explores the issue of contestation within and between these groups. Located...

This book highlights precisely how and why this threat developed at the time it did. It charts the rise of a 'night-time high street' and highlights the struggle that is occurring over the way in which such nightlife areas develop. This unique and hard-hitting analysis of social control in bars and clubs, courtroom battles between local communities and the pub trade, and street-level policing gets to the heart of the political debates on binge-drinking and anti-social behavior.

Speak No Evil: The Triumph of Hate Speech Regulation
ISBN: 9780226305530 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Opponents of speech codes often argue that liberal academics use the codes to advance an agenda of political correctness. But Jon B. Gould's provocative book, based on an enormous amount of empirical evidence, reveals that the real reasons for their growth are to be found in the pragmatic, almost utilitarian, considerations of college administrators. Instituting hate speech policy, he shows, was often a symbolic response taken by university leaders to reassure campus constituencies of their commitment against intolerance. In an academic version of "keeping up with the Joneses," some schools...
