Book Synopsis Practical Global Criminal Procedure by : Aya Gruber
Download or read book Practical Global Criminal Procedure written by Aya Gruber and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Global Criminal Procedure contextualizes criminal procedural law by analyzing police investigation in a homicide case under the law of the United States, Argentina, and the Netherlands. The book discusses the fictional case of Nico Jansen, an 18-year-old high school student who, after a series of events, is charged with murder. The initial police investigation of Nico and his co-defendant becomes the vehicle for an in-depth examination of seizures, searches, interrogations, identifications, and remedies for procedural violations under the law of each country. This book is designed as a student reader, and it can be used to provide a comparative experience to students in a basic criminal procedure course, to supplement a comparative law survey course, or to serve as primary text in a comparative criminal procedure course. The initial chapters provide a basic overview of life, crime, the legal system, and the criminal system in each country, and sets forth the facts of Nico''s case. The remaining chapters discuss the relevant criminal procedural law in each country and apply that law to the specific circumstances of Nico''s case. Comparison charts appear at the end of each substantive chapter to highlight and summarize the similarities and differences between each country''s laws. This book is part of the Contextual Approach Series, edited by Andrew J. McClurg, Professor and Herff Chair of Excellence in Law, The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. "This is comparative law as we dreamed it could be. The authors meticulously take us through the ins and outs of criminal procedure in three different countries. They provide the detail and continuity largely missing from individual works of comparative law, consisting only of disconnected snapshots of a foreign legal regime. From the comprehensive perspective of this work, and the clear collaboration among all three authors, the reader is offered a coherent comparative account of the detailed workings of the criminal justice systems in the U.S., Argentina, and the Netherlands." --Jorge Esquirol, Professor of Law, Florida International University College of Law "Because it uses a single hypothetical case as a springboard, this casebook allows students to compare in a rich factual context the nuances of the law regulating searches and seizures, interrogation, and identification in the United States, Argentina and the Netherlands. The three authors, each experts about their own countries, provide a compact, yet informed and comprehensive account of the fundamental differences between the investigative phases of these three archetypical criminal justice systems." --Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School "This book is an extremely useful introduction to comparative criminal procedure. It takes a rather complicated murder case and shows readers how the case with its pretrial issues including search issues, issues surrounding the questioning of suspects, and identification issues would be resolved under the law in three very different legal systems. It will prove an excellent teaching tool for law students in comparative law courses, but because it is such a readable book, it will also serve as an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding different legal cultures." --William Pizzi, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado Law School "Practical Global Criminal Procedure is a great resource and teaching tool. It offers readers the opportunity to challenge unknowing assumptions they have about criminal investigation and prosecution in different legal systems. The comparison between U.S., Argentine, and Netherlands law permits the authors to offer insight into contrasting perspectives on criminal law and criminal investigation: common law versus civil law frameworks, adversarial versus inquisitive processes, the judge as a neutral party versus the judge as a director of the case, and all points in between. The comparison also allows the reader to consider, in the case of The Netherlands, the overlay of a strong regional international human rights tradition. All of this is accomplished by following a single factual scenario through investigation, arrest, and trial. The reader is left with a deeper understanding of the law in these three jurisdictions, as well as an appreciation of not only how to undertake a comparative analysis of the law, but why more of us should do so." --Marcella David, Professor of Law & International Studies, Associate Dean for International & Comparative Law, University of Iowa College of Law

Book Synopsis Criminal Legalities in the Global South by : Pablo Ciocchini
Download or read book Criminal Legalities in the Global South written by Pablo Ciocchini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents the work of academics from the Global South and explores, from local and regional settings, how the legal order and people’s perceptions of it translates into an understanding of what constitutes "criminal" behaviors or activities. This book aims to address the gap between criminal law in theory and practice in the Global South by assembling 11 chapters from established and emerging scholars from various underrepresented regions of the world. Drawing on research from Singapore, the Philippines, Peru, Indonesia, India, the Dominican Republic, Burma, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Argentina, this book explores a range of issues that straddle the line between social deviance and legal crimes in such societies, including extramarital affairs, gender-based violence, gambling, LGBT issues, and corruption. Issues of inclusivity versus exclusivity, modernity versus tradition, globalization of capital versus cultural revivalism are explored. The contributions critically analyze the role politics and institutions play in shaping these issues. There is an urgent need for empirical studies and new theoretical approaches that can capture the complexity of crime phenomena that occur in the Global South. This book will provide essential material to facilitate the development of new approaches more suitable to understanding the social phenomena related to crime in these societies. This book will make an important contribution in the development of Southern criminology. It will be of interest to students and researchers of criminology and sociology engaged in studies of sentencing and punishment, theories of crime, law and practice, and postcolonialism.

Book Synopsis The Justice Cascade by : Kathryn Sikkink
Download or read book The Justice Cascade written by Kathryn Sikkink and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, hundreds of government officials have gone from being immune to any accountability for their human rights violations to being the subjects of highly publicized trials in Latin America, Europe, and Africa, resulting in enormous media attention and severe consequences. Here, renowned scholar Kathryn Sikkink brings to light the groundbreaking emergence of these human rights trials as a modern political tool, one that is changing the face of global politics as we know it. Drawing on personal experience and extensive research, Sikkink explores the building of this movement toward justice, from its roots in Nuremberg to the watershed trials in Greece and Argentina. She shows how the foundations for the stunning, public indictments of Slobodan Milošević and Augusto Pinochet were laid by the long, tireless activism of civilians, many of whose own families had been destroyed, and whose fight for justice sometimes came at the risk of their own lives and careers. She also illustrates what effect the justice cascade has had on democracy, conflict, and repression, and what it means for leaders and citizens everywhere, including the policymakers behind our own "war on terror."--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: In this compilation, the authors open by reviewing some concepts that must be clear when we think about ways to help the civil law system to introduce the restorative practices in the criminal law system. Additionally, the authors compare European Union criminal law to the classical meaning of criminal law. The historical development of supranational criminal law is examined, including the different roles of the judicial practice and legislative acts and improving upon the competence of the European Union in criminal law. Lastly, the authors examine the origins and development of penitentiary law in the law schools of Buenos Aires, Córdoba and La Plata between 1887 and 1955. Although in the earlier times of this period only the universities of Buenos Aires and Córdoba were active in the field, the University of La Plata has been included in order to have a complete overview of the academic world in those years.

Book Synopsis The Western Codification of Criminal Law by : Aniceto Masferrer
Download or read book The Western Codification of Criminal Law written by Aniceto Masferrer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

Book Synopsis The Holocaust, Corporations, and the Law by : Leora Yedida Bilsky
Download or read book The Holocaust, Corporations, and the Law written by Leora Yedida Bilsky and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holocaust, Corporations, and the Law explores the challenge posed by the Holocaust to legal and political thought by examining issues raised by the restitution class action suits brought against Swiss banks and German corporations before American federal courts in the 1990s. Although the suits were settled for unprecedented amounts of money, the defendants did not formally assume any legal responsibility. Thus, the lawsuits were bitterly criticized by lawyers for betraying justice and by historians for distorting history. Leora Bilsky argues class action litigation and settlement offer a mode of accountability well suited to addressing the bureaucratic nature of business involvement in atrocities. Prior to these lawsuits, legal treatment of the Holocaust was dominated by criminal law and its individualistic assumptions, consistently failing to relate to the structural aspects of Nazi crimes. Engaging critically with contemporary debates about corporate responsibility for human rights violations and assumptions about “law,” she argues for the need to design processes that make multinational corporations accountable, and examines the implications for transitional justice, the relationship between law and history, and for community and representation in a post-national world. Her novel interpretation of the restitution lawsuits not only adds an important dimension to the study of Holocaust trials, but also makes an innovative contribution to broader and pressing contemporary legal and political debates. In an era when corporations are ever more powerful and international, Bilsky’s arguments will attract attention beyond those interested in the Holocaust and its long shadow.
