Trends in Policing
Several years ago, the Trends in Policing series unveiled insiders accounts of how police leaders perceive the work they do. These volumes feature interviews with practitioners who speak candidly about their concerns and opinions. They present their evaluations of programs and philosophies that worked and those that did not, describe their concept
Organized Crime and Democratic Governability
The United States-Mexico border zone is one of the busiest and most dangerous in the world. NAFTA and rapid industrialization on the Mexican side have brought trade, travel, migration, and consequently, organized crime and corruption to the region on an unprecedented scale. Until recently, crime at the border was viewed as a local law enforcement problem with drug trafficking—a matter of "beefing" up police and "hardening" the border. At the turn of the century, that limited perception has changed. The range of criminal activity at the border now extends beyond drugs to include smuggling of arms, people, vehicles, financial instruments, environmentally dangerous substances, endangered spec...
Prison Bureaucracies in the United States, Mexico, India, and Honduras
Modern criminal justice institutions globally include police, criminal courts, and prisons. Prisons, unlike courts which developed out of an old aristocratic function and unlike police which developed out of an ancient posse or standing army function, are only about 200 years old and are humanitarian inventions. Prisons, defined as modern institutions that deprive the freedom of individuals who violate societies’ most basic norms in lieu of corporal or capital punishment, were near universal at the dawn of the 21st century and their use was expanding globally. The US alone spent $60 billion on prisons in 2014. Prison Bureaucracies addresses two fundamental questions. Do prisons in Christia...
Ciencias forenses y servicios periciales:
En la práctica, es posible identificar a las ciencias forenses y a la criminalística moderna con los servicios periciales, parte fundamental del sistema penal acusatorio y cuyo correcto funcionamiento requiere de la generación de dictámenes capaces de someterse a verificación, comprobación y refutación para analizar su validez, fiabilidad, objetividad y rigurosidad metodológica. Por ello, en los últimos años se ha puesto especial énfasis en fortalecer los servicios periciales y la prueba científica por medio de la capacitación y el análisis científico de la práctica forense pericial. El presente libro aborda este objetivo desde un enfoque teórico-práctico a través de los trabajos que se han realizado en el Seminario Permanente de Criminalística y Sistema Penal Acusatorio delINACIPE, donde han participado peritos, jueces, ministerios públicos e investigadores. Su lectura no solo es importante para la actualización en la materia, sino que forma parte del estado del arte que permite ponderar propuestas, líneas de acción y curvas de aprendizaje para consolidar la función pericial en el procedimiento penal.
Medidas cautelares en materia penal
La reforma en materia de medidas cautelares representó un importante avance en la conceptualización de mecanismos que permiten asegurar el proceso penal sin la necesidad de recurrir a la prisión preventiva. Con ello, se estructuró un sistema penal garantista que parte del principio de presunción de inocencia. Pero no basta con la creación de una ley, resulta fundamental comprender el sistema e implementarlo. En este contexto, Ariadna Salazar presenta un acucioso estudio de las medidas cautelares y las transformaciones que se realizaron con la reforma de 2018. También, analiza el papel y funcionamiento de las Unidades de Medidas Cautelares (UMECAS). Gracias a un profundo trabajo de investigación, y a la problematización de temas como la prisión preventiva, la obra resulta imprescindible para los estudiosos del derecho y los operadores del sistema de justicia.
Sex and the Sexual during People’s Leisure and Tourism Experiences
Sex and the sexual have for far too long been consigned to the dark corners by social scientists in general and tourism and leisure scholars in particular. Sex and the Sexual During People’s Leisure and Tourism Experiences seeks to begin to rectify this situation by bringing the position and nature of sex and the sexual into the light of academic debate. As such, this book is designed to highlight cross-disciplinary emerging work on sex and the sexual in leisure and tourism and provide the readers with insights into this social realm. It encompasses a broad array of sex-related issues and tourism and leisure environments from across a variety of countries. The book should appeal to researchers and students across the humanities and social sciences both for the value of the research in its own right and the ability of it to be used as a lens through which to view the position of sex and the sexual as well as tourism and leisure in today's world. Overall, it is argued that sex and the sexual should play a part in the academic discourse, especially if we wish to describe what is actually happening out there as far as tourism and leisure are concerned.
