Book Synopsis The Legal Defense of Pathological Intoxication by : Lawrence P. Tiffany
Download or read book The Legal Defense of Pathological Intoxication written by Lawrence P. Tiffany and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-09-11 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking alcohol can, in rare instances, provoke a temporary psychotic often violent reaction called pathological intoxication. Although it was medically identified in 1869, pathological intoxication has been an enigma to the law for over a century, primarily because the actual medical and psychiatric aspects of the concept have not been adequately explained before. But, as the authors of this volume point out, it is crucial for the defense attorney and the prosecutor to understand whether pathological or ordinary intoxication is involved in a particular case because pathological intoxication furnishes the basis of important and perhaps decisive defense strategies beyond those which derive from ordinary intoxication. This interdisciplinary study provides the first in-depth exploration of both the medical and psychiatric facts underlying the phenomenon of pathological intoxication and explores the suitability of various defense theories. Written especially for practicing criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, prosecutors, and forensic psychiatrists, the volume begins by examining the clinical and experimental evidence of pathological intoxication. In subsequent chapters, the authors alert the attorney to the indications that a defendant should be examined for possible pathological intoxication and include hard-to-find medical sources of support for the concept to persuade courts and prosecutors of its legitimacy. A series of chapters thoroughly explores all the relevant legal defense strategies available in pathological intoxication cases including the defense of automatism, the law of insanity, involuntary intoxication, and diminished capacity and extreme mental and emotional disturbance. Throughout, the authors incorporate both domestic and foreign literature relating to pathological intoxication. The inclusion of ample case examples as well as a wealth of medical and psychiatric data make this book a major contribution to our understanding of both the phenomenon of pathological intoxication and its implications for legal defense strategy.
Book Synopsis The Law of Intoxication by : Michael Dillon
Download or read book The Law of Intoxication written by Michael Dillon and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law of Intoxication: A Criminal Defence is a definitive treatise on intoxication as a criminal defence. This book exhaustively considers how a state of intoxication can provide a full defence to criminal offences. This book considers the law and the theory of a full defence of intoxication. Each chapter reveals significant case law, which has often been neglected, ignored or unnoticed. It takes a comparative approach by citing extensively from jurisdictions across the common law world including England and Wales, Scotland, Canada, USA, South Africa and New Zealand. It also considers the partial defence of voluntary intoxication. The author provides a theoretical analysis of the basis for the full defence and evaluates significant developments in this area. Unique * The very first stand alone publication that deals with how to use evidence of intoxication as a full defence. * Expands beyond road traffic offences to consider the effects of intoxication on all criminal offences including violent offences such as assault, murder, manslaughter. * Provides practitioners with a basis for considering a full defence of intoxication. From the foreword 'For the first time ever the topic has received the treatment which it deserves. Many, whether judge, lawyer, student or those working in related services, will be astonished as to how much there is to be said about the subject matter. It is with obvious certainty that one can say that the use of varying aspects of the underlying jurisprudence is likely to dramatically increase in the coming years and that judges will be heavily engaged with much debate on its finer points: whether by way of a direct defence, full or partial, or of indirect defence, as intoxication feeds into other legal disabilities such as automatism or insanity.' The Hon. Mr. Justice Liam McKechnie of The Supreme Court. Key features * Deals with prosecuting and defending intoxicated defendants and explores what defences are open to these defendants. * Analyses important Court of Criminal Appeal decisions which consider intoxication as a defence including The People (DPP) v Murphy [Unreported, Court of Criminal Appeal, 8 July 2003] and The People (DPP) v Reilly [2005] 3 IR 111. * Comprehensive cross-jurisdictional consideration of case law. * Considers interaction of intoxication as a defence with other mental condition defences including automatism and insanity. Contents * Intoxication by a Third Party * Intoxication by Spiking another Substance * Intoxication by Duress * Intoxication by Chemical Fumes * Intoxication by Accident or Mistake * Intoxication by Prescribed Medication * Intoxication by Unprescribed Medication * Intoxication by Physiological Condition * Intoxication by Psychological Condition * Intoxication by Addiction * The Level of Intoxication Required for a Defence * Strict Liability and Intoxication * Theoretical Basis for the Defence * Partial Defence of Voluntary Intoxication About the author Michael Dillon is a practising barrister with a particular interest in Criminal Law.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law by : Markus D Dubber
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law written by Markus D Dubber and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 1294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law reflects the continued transformation of criminal law into a global discipline, providing scholars with a comprehensive international resource, a common point of entry into cutting edge contemporary research and a snapshot of the state and scope of the field. To this end, the Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter, disciplinarily, geographically, and systematically. Its contributors include current and future research leaders representing a variety of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise, and research agendas. The Handbook is divided into four parts: Approaches & Methods (I), Systems & Methods (II), Aspects & Issues (III), and Contexts & Comparisons (IV). Part I includes essays exploring various methodological approaches to criminal law (such as criminology, feminist studies, and history). Part II provides an overview of systems or models of criminal law, laying the foundation for further inquiry into specific conceptions of criminal law as well as for comparative analysis (such as Islamic, Marxist, and military law). Part III covers the three aspects of the penal process: the definition of norms and principles of liability (substantive criminal law), along with a less detailed treatment of the imposition of norms (criminal procedure) and the infliction of sanctions (prison law). Contributors consider the basic topics traditionally addressed in scholarship on the general and special parts of the substantive criminal law (such as jurisdiction, mens rea, justifications, and excuses). Part IV places criminal law in context, both domestically and transnationally, by exploring the contrasts between criminal law and other species of law and state power and by investigating criminal law's place in the projects of comparative law, transnational, and international law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While associated with comfort and pleasure, alcohol has been and is a 'problem' substance, both for medical and political authorities and for many drinkers. In this broad-ranging and innovative historical-sociological investigation, Valverde explores the ways in which both authorities and individual consumers have defined and managed the pleasures and dangers of alcoholic beverages. The author explores the question of free will versus determinism and how it has been challenged by ideas about addiction, morality and psychology during the last 150 years. The book draws on sources from the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere, and covers topics including nineteenth century 'dipsomania', the history of inebriate homes, Alcoholics Anonymous, fetal alcohol education and liquor control. It will appeal to readers in legal studies, criminology, sociology, psychology, social theory and the history of medicine.
