Criminalizing Intimate Image Abuse strives to generate new conceptual and theoretical frameworks to address the legal responses to intimate image abuse by bringing together a number of scholars involved in the study of image abuse over recent years.
It has been widely feared - especially in Europe - that among the casualties in the "war against terror" it is now necessary to include a number of civil and political rights that used to form the nucleus of the liberal "Rechtstaat". In such times, it its useful to remember that on both sides of the Atlantic there has existed a powerful alternative political tradition - indeed a tradition that extends far beyond the West. This is the tradition of non-violence, one of the offshoots of which is the civil disobedience expounded and analyzed in this book. This exhaustive and carefully analytical study of civil disobedience, translated from Spanish, is a welcome reminder of the tradition that emp...
Corruption arises from the collusion of economic and political elites, a practice that has developed in order to overcome the contradiction of two important processes of our time: capitalism and democracy. In this new study of the phenomenon, the author shows how corruption is the practice of collusion taken to excess; 'the unacceptable face of capitalism'. Corruption, by 'going too far', exposes what is normally hidden from view; the collusive system of elites furthering the expansion of capitalist practice and market practice at the expense of democratic practice and public values.
If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.

Con este presente 1er. Volumen, se inicia una colección de 4 volúmenes cuyo nexo vertebrador versa sobre la Psicometría Forense. En concreto y en este caso, se profundiza sobre la Psicometría Forense de sujetos que han perpetrado uno o varios asesinatos, ya sea desde el nocivo influjo de un trastorno mental como en ausencia de dicha disfunción psíquica. Desde el punto de vista jurídico-legal y a lo largo de toda la colección, el autor expone —de manera magistral— la casuística psicológica-forense y criminológica distinguiéndolas por las tres condiciones por las que el Tribunal resuelve según sentencia: por absolución, por sentencia condenatoria con atenuante y por sentencia condenatoria con plena responsabilidad criminal. En el contenido del presente volumen —eminentemente práctico—,se recogen 25 casos en los que se viene a exponer psicométricamente las gráficas psicológicas de los sujetos que han sido acusados de delitos de asesinato y por las que han tenido resolución judicial por sentencia.

La problemática del terrorismo organizado es una realidad innegable que pone en jaque a las modernas democracias alrededor del mundo. La Ley penal, debidamente apegada al principio de legalidad, se ha erigido como el único instrumento viable para tratar los fenómenos criminales de máxima entidad desestabilizadora. La presente obra explora minuciosamente la regulación española en materia de combate a la conformación de organizaciones terroristas, de acuerdo a la novedosa reforma del año 2015. La conducta conformativa de organizaciones terroristas se analiza a través de la teoría del derecho penal del enemigo, ampliamente estudiada en la Universidad Hispalense de Sevilla y que ha sido el centro de un intenso debate doctrinal, legal y jurisprudencial alrededor del mundo.
