This work is the first to examine the expressive and communicative functions of law in a comprehensive way in the field of atrocity crime. It shows that expression and communication are not only inherent parts of the punitive functions of international criminal justice, but are represented in a whole spectrum of practices.
"These studies recover the historical roots of thinking that are in conflict with, and critical of, present-day tendencies. Criminological theory over the last few decades has oscillated between extremes: on one side there are calls for increasing the state exercise of punitive power as the only means of providing security, in the face of both urban and international rime; while the other side highlights the need for reducing the exercise of punitive power because of the paradoxical effects that it produces. Useful for academics, practitioners, professionals and students, this book will certainly contribute to a wider awareness in crime prevention and criminal justice."--Publisher's website.

A Lavagem de Dinheiro tornou-se um tipo penal recorrente nas operações policiais amplamente veiculadas pela mídia, tendo como foco da perseguição estatal não só os indivíduos que praticam o ato de lavar dinheiro, mas também aqueles sujeitos que, pela posição que ocupam, são implicados em decorrência do descumprimento de um dever de Compliance. Essa situação salta aos olhos, na medida em que se aprofunda o estudo do direito penal e do processo penal, despertando um interesse em compreender melhor tal fenômeno. Nesse sentido, a presente obra visa analisar essa temática, a partir da devida compreensão dos limites do compliance, mais especificamente do compliance criminal, da dogmática referente aos crimes omissivos, para, por fim, apresentar uma conclusão que coadune com a legislação pátria, bem como sugerir um novo caminho a ser seguido, a fim de evitar piruetas argumentativas com o nítido condão de forçar uma responsabilização criminal de um sujeito que descumpre um dever de compliance relacionado a Lavagem de Dinheiro.
This book offers an in-depth overview of Turkish history and politics essential for understanding contemporary Turkey. It presents an analysis on a number of key issues from gender inequality to Islamism to urban regeneration. Based on interviews with leading intellectuals and academics from Turkey, the book’s theme follows the dramatic transformations that have occurred from the 1980 military coup to the coup attempt of 2016 and its aftermath. It further draws attention to the global flows of capital, goods, ideas, and technologies that continue to influence both mainstream and dissident politics. By doing so, the book tries to unsettle the assumption that Erdoğan and his Islamic ideology are the sole actors in contemporary Turkey. This book provides unusual insight into the Turkish society bringing various topics together, and increases the dialogue for people interested in democratic struggles in 21st century under neoliberal authoritarian regimes in general.
The Possibility of Norms examines what defines social norms. Norms are not mere justifications or causal explanations of what we do, but point towards the possibility of divergent states of the world. Möllers's eye-opening analysis develops a new conceptual framework for social norms, from law and religion to the social and political sphere.
