Book Synopsis Homicide and the Politics of Law Reform by : Jeremy Horder
Download or read book Homicide and the Politics of Law Reform written by Jeremy Horder and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes murder, murder? How should we understand the difference between intentional and reckless killing? Should offenders be punished differently according to the perceived severity of their crime and when should they be excused? These questions are the topic of intense debate within legal circles and beyond in the UK, the US, and the rest of world. Jeremy Horder's role as the Law Commissioner for England and Wales on criminal law has given him unique insight into these questions and the debates surrounding them. Here he analyses the recent political and legal reform movements, offering a political history of homicide law reform from the 19th century to the modern era. Using homicide as a starting point, Horder raises deeper questions of who is and should be responsible for making and changing the law. What role should there be for expert bodies, judges, and politicians? What role should there be for the general public? These questions invoke strong emotional responses. Horder argues that comprehensive research into, and a degree of difference to, public opinion on the scope of homicide is essential to the reform process. It is essential principally as a means of conferring true legitimacy on homicide reform in a democracy. Elite or expert opinion alone will never authentically secure such legitimacy. Offering an insider's view into the processes of achieving law reform, Horder expresses criticism of a system that excludes the vast majority of people from consultation on reform of the laws that govern them.

Download or read book Regulation Crisis written by Paul Almond and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article identifies a new direction for discussion of the proposed corporate manslaughter offense. Considering work-related fatality cases with reference to the concept of legitimacy allows us to obtain a fuller understanding of their importance and the potential benefits associated with reform of the law. Work-related fatality cases have inherent power as signal offenses. A failure to resolve these cases in a manner that satisfies the interests of the publics that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) faces, may lead to a crisis of legitimacy for the agency. Reforming the law so as to facilitate such a response may offer important legitimatory benefits to regulators.
Book Synopsis Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide by : Shivam Goel
Download or read book Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide written by Shivam Goel and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A corporation is an artificial legal person, existing only in the contemplation of law, having perpetual succession and common seal. Can a corporation commit crime, for its inability to form mens rea? If yes, then can it be accused of crimes as grave as homicide? Even post the Bhopal Gas Tragedy and the Uphaar Cinema Tragedy, absence of legislation such as the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, 2007 (UK) is no less a pity. Absolute liability theory (coupled with deep-pocket theory), though is an improvisation over the strict liability theory but has failed to ensure corporate criminal deterrence. This book is an attempt to ponder over issues relating to corporate criminal behaviour, in particular 'corporate homicide' and 'corporate manslaughter'.

Book Synopsis The Corporate Criminal by : Steve Tombs
Download or read book The Corporate Criminal written by Steve Tombs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon a wide range of sources of empirical evidence, historical analysis and theoretical argument, this book shows beyond any doubt that the private, profit-making, corporation is a habitual and routine offender. The book dissects the myth that the corporation can be a rational, responsible, 'citizen'. It shows how in its present form, the corporation is permitted, licensed and encouraged to systematically kill, maim and steal for profit. Corporations are constructed through law and politics in ways that impel them to cause harm to people and the environment. In other words, criminality is part of the DNA of the modern corporation. Therefore, the authors argue, the corporation cannot be easily reformed. The only feasible solution to this 'crime' problem is to abolish the legal and political privileges that enable the corporation to act with impunity.

Book Synopsis Corporate Criminal Liability by : Mark Pieth
Download or read book Corporate Criminal Liability written by Mark Pieth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With industrialization and globalization, corporations acquired the capacity to influence social life for good or for ill. Yet, corporations are not traditional objects of criminal law. Justified by notions of personal moral guilt, criminal norms have been judged inapplicable to fictional persons, who ‘think’ and ‘act’ through human beings. The expansion of new corporate criminal liability (CCL) laws since the mid-1990s challenges this assumption. Our volume surveys current practice on CCL in 15 civil and common law jurisdictions, exploring the legal conditions for liability, the principles and options for sanctioning, and the procedures for investigating, charging and trying corporate offenders. It considers whether municipal CCL laws are converging around the notion of ‘corporate culture’, and, in any case, the implications of CCL for those charged with keeping corporations, and other legal entities, out of trouble.

Book Synopsis The Paradox of Regulation by : Fiona Haines
Download or read book The Paradox of Regulation written by Fiona Haines and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paradox of Regulation is a tour de force of regulatory scholarship that successfully contextualizes the regulatory project as an effort to reduce multiple forms of risk. Three case studies of regulatory reforms, fascinating in their own right, when read together forcefully demonstrate why context matters to the actuarial assessments, political realities, and possibilities for insuring safety, security and integrity. Haines, penetrating analysis presents no simple answers to what works and why. The Paradox of Regulation nimbly demonstrates that the strengths and limits of a particular regulatory reform must be understood as a complicated response to a dynamic constellation of actuarial, political, and socio-cultural risks.,- Nancy Reichman, University of Denver, US , This new book by Fiona Haines is an elegant but sophisticated analysis of the three risks (technical, social and political) that regulation must address if it is to be effective. This analysis is original and fresh bringing together critiques of risk based regulation with empirical literature on compliance and effectiveness evaluation. This is exactly the sort of book we need more of to develop and deepen empirical and theoretical research in regulatory scholarship: - it helpfully melds together different literatures and theoretical approaches with her own empirical work on regulatory reforms to build a multi-layered theoretical analysis that really pushes forward our understanding of regulation, why it happens and how it fails and succeeds., - Christine Parker, Monash University, Australia ,This is an insightful and nuanced analysis of the strengths and limitations of regulation. Through a close grained analysis of three recent disasters, Haines demonstrates that regulation is not just a technical but also a political and a social project and how a failure to recognise its multiple dimensions can lead to regulatory failure. This book is a major contribution that enriches our understanding of the challenges of risk management and of how best to address them.'- Neil Gunningham, Australian National University, Canberra , Fiona Haines shows us that regulatory policy is complex and paradoxical in ways that should require us to attend to the substance and the politics of specific regulatory regimes. This book is a major contribution to the reconceptualisation of risk and regulation. It is a perceptive treatment of the role of crisis by one of the best scholars of regulation we have., - John Braithwaite, Australian National University, Canberra
Book Synopsis Corporations and Criminal Responsibility by : Celia Wells
Download or read book Corporations and Criminal Responsibility written by Celia Wells and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public toleration of corporate harms is evaporating: deaths and injuries at work and transport accidents increasingly prompt call for prosecution of a corporation. Should corporations be punished? This new book draws on philosophical, cultural, and psychological factors in considering arguments about the criminal liability of corporations. Justifications for criminal punishment and the underlying bases of criminal responsibility are described in the context of corporate activities, and the system of regulation and control of corporate harm through, for example, health and safety legislation, is examined and contrasted with conventional enforcement of criminal laws. Public perception of corporate harms is explored from a number of perspectives including the institutional framework of inquests and public inquiries. The book also includes a full analysis of the trial of P & O on manslaughter charges following the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster.
