The United Nations Programme on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
This book documents the evolution of the United Nations (UN) Crime Programme and its changing priorities, from the early focus on juvenile delinquency and correctional treatment, to the present preoccupation with transnational organized crime. It analyses what factors have contributed to this evolution, and to the shift from the original work on “soft law” resolutions and international standards, to “hard law” conventions, and to the expansion of technical assistance. It also examines the changing structure and working methods of the Programme, such as the UN Crime Commission and the UN Secretariat unit responsible for the Programme, the UN Crime Congresses, and the Programme Network...
The Concept of Marriages of Convenience in EU Free Movement Law
Over the past two decades, EU Member States have regularly complained about the perceived abuse of EU law via marriages of convenience, allegedly contracted between mobile EU citizens and third-country nationals. During the pre-Brexit years, the UK had been voicing particularly strong concerns about the issue, which ultimately resulted in regulatory changes both at the EU and national level. In this book, Aleksandra Ancite-Jepifánova pursues two interrelated aims. First, she evaluates the compatibility of EU-level measures addressing marriages of convenience with EU free movement law by focusing on the Citizenship Directive. Second, she examines the regulation of the issue in UK law in so far as it concerns the residence rights of EU citizens and their family members, both pre-and post-Brexit.
Interpreter Training in Conflict and Post-Conflict Scenarios
The role of interpreters in conflict situations is of increasing real world importance. There are ethical, cultural, and professional issues that have yet to be explored, and there is a need for specialised training that addresses the specific contexts in which interpreters perform their duties, considering the situated nature of interpreting in these contexts. This volume is structured around interpreter training in different contexts of conflict and post-conflict, from military operations and international tribunals to asylum-seeking and refugee, humanitarian, and human rights missions. Themes covered include risk management and communication, ethics and professional demeanour, language te...
Testosterone
*** RECOMMENDED AS ONE OF THE TIMES' BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'With all the talk about testosterone in sex, sports and politics, we need a good explanation of the science and its implications, and this one is outstanding.' STEVEN PINKER, bestselling author of The Blank Slate 'There are whole books written about the idea that behavioural sex differences are a societal construct and how a male hormone we know influences animal behaviour somehow doesn't influence us. Hooven's book is a riposte to that silliness - and also a defence of a hormone that isn't just about aggression.' TOM WHIPPLE, THE TIMES, BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'Fascinating, vital, unputdownable.' JULIE BINDEL 'The definitiv...

Trata de seres humanos. Inmoralidad e injusticia
Una Ley Integral contra la Trata de Seres Humanos es necesaria, y también lo es un estudio integral y en profundidad de la trata. Es el estudio que desarrolla este libro a partir de la actividad y los informes de Instituciones y del Derecho Internacional sobre los problemas concretos y las circunstancias de toda clase que determinan la trata de seres humanos, desarrollados por reconocidos expertos. Y es que gran parte de nuestra sociedad vive al margen de este inhumano y gravísimo problema que es la esclavitud de nuestro tiempo. Resultado de todo ello es un análisis riguroso de la trata de seres humanos para su explotación sexual y la prostitución, explotación infantil, servidumbre laboral, la mendicidad, matrimonios forzados y tráfico de órganos; así como de las redes y delincuencia organizada, trata como negocio económico, la sociología de la trata, el derecho internacional contra la trata, y en favor de la protección de sus víctimas, la indignidad humana y moral de la trata, etc. Era necesario también un estudio del complejo problema de la trata con un enfoque humano y moral, a diferencia de otros análisis más jurídicos.

From Forced Flexibility to Forced Labour
This research focuses on the exploitation of migrant workers and trafficking in human beings for the purpose of forced labour in Finland. This thesis consists of a summary and four original articles. The theoretical framework is twofold. First, in order to contextualise the situation of migrant workers, the research addresses changes in globalisation has brought to the economy and the labour markets. Second, the research approaches the exploitation of migrant workers through the framework of corporate crime in order to explore why such crime remains under-enforced.
