Latin American Social Work in the Justice System
Social work has long been working directly with the criminal and civil courts of the justice system. The work of Latin American practitioners in the legal system, however, is little known at global and local levels. This book is the first to go beyond Western-centric appraisals and presents a truly Latin American portrait of social work in the justice system. The long-term interaction of social work practitioners with the judicial system enabled them to develop an expertise to dialogue with other disciplines such as law and psychology. This knowledge is very important to identify and share with other professionals to develop specialized programs for education and training. In this sense, pos...
Medo do crime e legislação criminal na América Latina
Nas últimas décadas, o medo do crime tem ocupado posição central no cotidiano das pessoas e das instituições de controle. Ao mesmo tempo, a política criminal dos países latino-americanos tem se alterado no sentido de aumento da punição como resposta à delinquência clássica e aposta no uso da pena de prisão como forma de controle do crime. Este livro busca compreender como o medo do crime difundido entre a população apresenta reflexos na elaboração de leis criminais mais repressivas e menos garantistas. Foram selecionados para análise Brasil e Chile, dois países distintos em taxas criminais e índices de medo do crime. Por meio de pesquisa empírica orientada pela Criminol...

Política criminal y libertad
La Sentencia C-646 de 2001 de la Corte Constitucional colombiana define la política criminal como "el conjunto de respuestas que un Estado estima necesario adoptar para hacerle frente a conductas consideradas reprochables o causantes de perjuicio social, con el fin de garantizar la protección de los intereses esenciales del Estado y de los derechos de los residentes en el territorio bajo su jurisdicción". Vemos en esa definición que las respuestas a conductas reprochables son diversas de acuerdo con la necesidad y en perspectiva de los derechos ciudadanos. Sin embargo, los actores de la política criminal han priorizado la respuesta punitiva como la máxima ratio para la "protección" de los intereses esenciales del Estado y de los ciudadanos. El Centro de Investigación en Política Criminal, en sus investigaciones, ha tenido la preocupación constante acerca de la violencia existente en Colombia, no solo de la sociedad, sino también del Estado. La criminología ofrece caminos de reflexión con el fin de materializar el deber ser de una política criminal garantista y diseñar propuestas edificantes y restaurativas para los involucrados en el sistema penal.

La justicia penal juvenil en Iberoamérica
Aunque pudiera pensarse que entrados en el siglo XXI los derechos de la infancia están plenamente afianzados a nivel mundial, su reconocimiento es algo relativamente reciente y aún no asentado. En la formación y evolución de los sistemas nacionales de justicia juvenil han jugado un papel determinante los instrumentos internacionales, en particular la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño de 1989. En el marco de Iberoamérica, los 22 países que conforman la Conferencia de Ministros de Justicia de Países Iberoamericanos (COMJIB) procedieron a su rápida ratificación y, salvo Argentina y Cuba, todos se han dotado de un marco normativo en materia de justicia juvenil post Convención. P...
Prisons of Poverty
In this title, the author examines how penal policies emanating from the United States have spread thoughout the world. The author argues that the policies have their roots in a network of Reagan-era conservative think tanks, which used them as weapons in their crusade to dismantle the welfare state and, in effect, criminalise poverty.

Aut dedere aut judicare: The Duty to Extradite or Prosecute in International Law
The emergence of a global community is accompanied by a realization that greater cooperation is essential to its welfare. This is particularly true in the area of crime prevention and control. The increase in international, transnational, transboundary and national crime has contributed to a genuine growth in the body of international criminal law. The most effective way to combat such crimes is for states to accept an obligation to try international criminal law offenders before their own courts or surrender them for trial before the courts of another state or an international court. Until such time as an effective system of international criminal justice is established, the duty to prosecu...
