Las empresas tienen claros incentivos para evitar la comisión de delitos en su contra, sean estos perpetrados por personas ajenas a su estructura o por sus propios trabajadores y representantes. Salvo intervención del sistema jurídico, sin embargo, tienen menos razones para prevenir los ilícitos que contra terceros puedan cometerse desde su estructura, especialmente aquellos que les pueden reportar beneficios, sea en forma de ahorro (delitos contra el medio ambiente, los derechos de los trabajadores o la hacienda pública) o de ganancias ilícitas (apropiaciones indebidas, ilícitos contra la competencia o delitos contra la administración pública). Debido a esta asimetría de incentivo...
"Los avances y transformaciones geopolíticos, económicos, tecnológicos, industriales y financieros de las sociedades contemporáneas se han ido desarrollando paralelamente con diversas modalidades delictivas que cada vez son más sofisticadas y complejas, lo que ha puesto a prueba la eficacia de los Estados para comprender los fenómenos criminales, prevenirlos, combatirlos y gestionarlos. Procesos corruptos con alcance transnacional –como el soborno a altos dignatarios gubernamentales, evasión de impuestos con la anuencia de territorios no cooperantes, estafas financieras y defraudaciones en los mercados de capitales– y novedosos métodos de lavado de los recursos obtenidos ilícita...
This illuminating book offers a timely assessment of the development and proliferation of precursor crimes of terrorism, exploring the functions and implications of these expanding offences in different jurisdictions. In response to new modes and sources of terrorism, attempts to pre-empt potential attacks through precursor offences have emerged. This book examines not only the meanings and effectiveness of this approach, but also the challenges posed to human rights and social and economic development.
Following on from the earlier edited collection, Loss of Control and Diminished Responbility, this book is the first volume in the Substantive Issues in Criminal Law series. It serves as a leading point of reference in the area relating to participation in crime and identifies the need for a consistent approach to the doctrinal and theoretical underpinnings of complicity liability. With a section on the UK analysing points of current interest, the book also has a large comparative section dealing with foreign jurisdictions and examines on the basis of a unified research grid how different legal systems treat core issues of participation in the context of criminal law. This book is a valuable reference resource for those in the criminal justice community in the UK and abroad and for academics, the judiciary and policy-makers.
Legal academics in Europe publish a wide variety of materials including books, articles and essays, in an assortment of languages, and for a diverse readership. As a consequence, this variety can pose a problem for the evaluation of academic legal research. This thought-provoking book offers an overview of the legal and policy norms, methods and criteria applied in the evaluation of academic legal research, from a comparative perspective.
"Don't blame the victim" is a cornerstone maxim of Anglo-American jurisprudence, but should the law generally ignore a victim's behavior in determining a defendant's liability? Victims' Rights and Victims' Wrongs criticizes the current criminal law approach and outlines a more fair, coherent, and efficient set of rules to recognize that victims sometimes co-author their own losses or injuries. Evaluating a number of controversial cases involving euthanasia, sadomasochism, date rape, battered wives, and "innocent" aggressors, Vera Bergelson builds a theoretical foundation for reform. Her approach to comparative criminal liability takes into account the actions of both the perpetrator and the victim and offers a unitary explanation for consent, self-defense, and provocation. This innovative book supplies a practical and coherent mechanism for evaluating the impact of a victim's conduct on a perpetrator's liability in a variety of circumstances, including those that are now artificially excluded from comparative analysis.
O presente estudo busca responder o seguinte problema: quais as vantagens, limites e possibilidades da institucionalização da prática do programa compliance e da governança corporativa nas relações empresariais no contexto do Estado brasileiro? A hipótese de solução é a de que esses instrumentos são hábeis a mitigar os efeitos negativos decorrentes das relações empresariais antiéticas e corruptas, assim, um sistema de compliance ganha valor de mercado e a decisão sobre sua implantação passa a seguir na lógica econômica como fator de competitividade diante dos concorrentes. Para demonstrá-la, estruturar-se-á o trabalho em três capítulos: no primeiro capítulo, será ve...
