"The information and risk society poses a new challenge for the law in all its fragments. Modern media communication and technologies increase people's prosperity while stating new risks with not uncommonly devastating crisis-potential: The banking crisis, the safety net for the euro zone and the nuclear incident in Fukushima are only the latest forms of those specific modern common dangers which the law is facing--in many cases due to it's domestically limited validity--not or not sufficiently prepared. In order to promote the international dialog within the jurisprudence there was a conference in October 2010 held by the faculty of law of the Georg-August-Universität, supported by the chair of GAU, together with the faculty of Seoul National University School of Law discussing main issues of law in a modern information and risk society. With this volume the results of this convention shall be made accessible to everybody interested"--Page 4 of cover.
This book presents a socio-criminological study of environmental crime in the global South. It gathers contributors from all the regions of the geographical global South (Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America) to discuss instances of environmental crime and conflict. Overall, it seeks to further decolonise the knowledge production of green criminology. It considers the legacy of colonisation, North-South and the core-periphery divides in the production of environmental crime, the epistemological contributions of the marginalised, impoverished, and oppressed, and the unique contexts of the global South. This book has three sections: drivers of green crime in the global South; responses to ...
Over the past five decades, prominent criminologist Gregg Barak has worked as an author, editor, and book review editor; his large body of work has been grounded in traditional academic prose. His new book, Chronicles of a Radical Criminologist, while remaining scholarly in its intent, departs from the typical academic format. The book is a a first-person account that examines the linkages between one scholar's experiences as a criminologist from the late 1960s to the present and the emergence and evolution of radical criminology as a challenge to developments in mainstream criminology. Barak draws upon his own experiences over this half-century as a window into the various debates and issue...

This book explores the causal relationship between the deregulation of international economic interests and the forms of violence that prevail in a large part of the Global South. More specifically, this book tells the story of how transnational corporations benefitting from increasing deregulation of their international economic interests, account for severe harm, the unrelenting violation of human rights, and maldevelopment in Latin America. Dependent on the structural deficiencies of the Latin American region, this book tests the examples of the extractive industries and multinational expansionism and the link between deregulated economies at the international level and the damaging local...
En los dos tomos de “Estudios sobre derecho penal, constitucional y transicional” se recogen las contribuciones científicas de varios académicos colombianos y extranjeros, los cuales, en su mayoría, nos acompañaron en las diferentes versiones del Congreso Internacional de Criminología y Derecho Penal celebrado en la ciudad de Cali entre el 2008 y 2017. Este Congreso organizado por el Instituto Colombiano de Criminología y Derecho Penal, con el acompañamiento institucional de la Universidad Libre Seccional Cali y en algunas ocasiones también de la Universidad Santiago de Cali.
Os tempos que se avizinham são de desafios reais e de pugna por um sistema penal integral que entende a pessoa humana como centro nevrálgico de toda a ciência, em especial da ciência do Direito penal. Esse sistema penal integral do ser humano tem de se assumir como limite do poder de punir do Estado, despido de quaisquer pretensões de nomenclaturas neutralizadoras da legalidade constitucional penal, como a de Direito penal do amigo, de FERRANDO MANTOVANI, ou a de Direito penal do inimigo, de GÜNTHER JAKOBS. A intervenção jurídico-criminal deve ter como missão a tutela de bens jurídicos essenciais à vida harmoniosa em sociedade, dignos e carentes de tutela penal, que deve subordinar-se ao sistema jus constitucional fronteira intransponível das desejadas flexibilizações do princípio da legalidade, da detração do princípio da igualdade e da proposição de um caminho de niilificação da pessoa humana. Continuamos a proclamar que toda a pessoa humana é pessoa humana e nunca uma «coisa» ou uma «não-pessoa».
Volume 2 of 2.
The author has recorded the inscriptions on all 8000 graves in the HK Cemetery. These by the way will be available in due course as an on-line database through the Hong Kong Memory project. She has selected, from the graves she has recorded, a wide range of people whose lives shed light on the nature of society in Hong Kong. Inevitably as this was the 'Colonial' cemetery, they are predominantly Europeans, although there are numerous Chinese and a surprising number of Japanese too. She has then sought out information on these people from contemporary newspapers, land records, court records etc to provide a rich description of life in Hong Kong during the first 100 years approximately from its...
