Criminal Liability for Serious Traffic Offences
The criminal law on serious traffic offenses presents legislators with numerous controversial issues. One such issue is when severe consequences are matched with low moral culpability. How should the law deal with a driver who kills someone because she failed to see the person when looking? Another controversial issue concerns highly culpable behavior that remains without serious consequences. How should the law cope with a driver who nearly kills someone when overtaking recklessly? The traffic context generates many hard cases that call the outermost boundaries of general doctrinal concepts like intent, negligence, or causation into question. This book contains an international collection o...
Managing Fear
Managing Fear examines the growing use of risk assessment as it relates to preventive detention and supervision schemes for offenders perceived to be at a high risk of re-offending, individuals with severe mental illness, and suspected terrorists. It outlines a number of legislative regimes in common law countries that have broadened ‘civil’ (as opposed to criminal) powers of detention and supervision. Drawing on the disciplines of criminology and social psychology, it explores how and why such schemes reflect a move towards curtailing liberty before harm results rather than after a crime has occurred. Human rights and ethical issues concerning the role of mental health practitioners in ...
The Eternal Criminal Record
For 60 million Americans a criminal record overshadows everything else about their identity. Citizens have a right to know when someone around them represents a threat. But convicted persons have rights too. James Jacobs examines the problem of erroneous records and proposes ways to eliminate discrimination for those who have been rehabilitated.
De hypocrisie van de achterdeur
De invoering van een `wietpas , protesterende coffeeshophouders en een burgemeester van Maastricht die verklaart dat het (tijdelijk) sluiten van coffeeshops de lokale samenleving ontwricht: het gedoogbeleid staat meer dan ooit in de schijnwerpers. Reden om dat beleid kritisch de maat te nemen. Hoe kunnen burgemeesters coffeeshops in hun gemeente tolereren terwijl tegelijkertijd justitie de aanvoer van softdrugs verbiedt en vervolgt? Op meedogenloze wijze laten Gerard Spong, Sidney Smeets en Tim Vis zien hoe de overheid huichelt in de stukgelopen strafzaak tegen de Almeerse coffeeshop Koffie & Dromen. Lokt de overheid niet crimineel handelen uit? Houdt zij niet al jaren een systeem van witwassen in stand? En verdient ze niet jaarlijks via de belasting miljoenen aan het ontduiken van de Opiumwet? De auteurs bepleiten hartstochtelijk dat de vervolging van coffeeshophouders hypocriet is als de overheid geen duidelijkheid geeft over het achterdeurbeleid. Derhalve is die vervolging, met recht, gedoemd te mislukken.
