Prosecuting and Punishing Multi-Offenders in the EU
This book elaborates on the rules governing the prosecution and sentencing of multi-offenders. The term ‘multi-offender’ is used for an offender that has committed a series of offences (either in one single act or in different acts); hence the addition of ‘multi’ in ‘multi-offender’. A crucial element thereto is that the whole series of offences – which make the offender a multi-offender – has been committed before being subject to a final conviction. A comparative EU-study was conducted, focussing on the rules governing multi-offenders within different EU Member States. It reveals that this type of offenders challenge both the legislator and the prosecution and judges: when ...
Preventing Corporate Corruption
This book presents the results of a two-year international research project conducted for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) to investigate and provide solutions for reducing bribery and corruption in corporations and institutions. It starts with an empirical case study on the effectiveness of a set of self-regulation rules adopted by multinational companies in the energy sector. Second, it explores the context and factors leading to corruption internationally (and the relationships between domestic criminal law and self-regulation). Third, it examines guidelines for the adoption of compliance programs developed by international institutions, to serve as models for the futu...
Death Penalty: A Cruel and Inhuman Punishment
Death penalty: A cruel and inhuman punishment is an academic contribution by Academics for abolition aimed at fostering the debate launched by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 62/149 on 18 December 2007, calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions by 2015, and continued by the upcoming review process of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDG). It is mainly a compilation of papers written by the speakers at the Seminar “Against cruel and inhuman punishment and death penalty”, which took place at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid, on 9 June 2013, on the eve of the 5th World Congress against the death penalty. The book deals with cu...
Towards a Rational Legislative Evaluation in Criminal Law
This book launches a debate on the need to evaluate criminal policies and, what is more complex and ambitious, to develop an evaluation method. The contributions address topics such as the general methodology for evaluating public policy, preparing criminal statistics, and analyzing costs, cost-effectiveness and cost benefits. Additionally, the work explores the state of affairs in various countries including Spain, Sweden, USA, Germany and in the EU. It also examines issues such as the relationship between legislative evaluation and criminal principles and the constitutional courts’ control over criminal acts.
Combating Crime in the Digital Age: A Critical Review of EU Information Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in the Post-Interoperability Era
Combating Crime in the Digital Age: A Critical Review of EU Information Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in the Post-Interoperability Era. Challenges for Criminal Law and Personal Data Protection provides a systematic and comprehensive account of EU information systems functioning in the area of freedom, security and justice, with the aim to establish the contemporary links between information sharing and criminal law and evaluate the consequences. Part 1 offers a systemisation and critical assessment of pertinent systems (ECRIS, ECRIS-TCN, Prüm, PNR, Europol, SIS, Eurodac, VIS, EES, ETIAS) and the new interoperability regime from the perspective of their objective to prevent and combat serious crime. Part 2 explores personal data protection law, police law and criminal procedure law, in order to propose safeguards and limitations for regulating this rapidly evolving framework and addressing the challenges for fundamental principles and rights. The authors’ central suggestion is that the issue falls within the context of an emerging precognitive paradigm of criminal law.
Criminal law between war and peace
If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.
Toward a Prosecutor for the European Union Volume 1
In an era in which the EU's influence in criminal law matters has expanded rapidly, attention has recently turned to the possible creation of a European Public Prosecutor's Office. This two volume work presents the results of a study carried out by a group of European criminal law experts in 2010-2012, with the financial support of the EU Commission, whose aims were to examine in detail current public prosecution systems in the Member States and to scrutinise proposals for a new European office. Volume 1 begins with thorough descriptions of 20 different national legal systems of investigation and prosecution, addressing a range of evidential and procedural safeguards. These will serve as a p...
El principio de "ne bis in idem" en el derecho penal europeo e internacional
Este volumen profundiza en los recientes desarrollos del Derecho fundamental al non bis in idem. En los últimos tiempos este derecho se ha universalizado aplicándose más allá de los confines de un determinado ordenamiento. La evolución plantea dos frentes distintos, el europeo y el internacional, que se corresponden con la estructura interna del presente volumen. La aplicación del principio de non bis in idem por el TJCE a partir de lo dispuesto en el Convenio de aplicación Schengen constituye probablemente la mejor muestra de activismo judicial en aras a construir la Europa de los Ciudadanos y un ejemplo evidente de que el principio de reconocimiento mutuo, y la construcción del Esp...
La orden de detención y entrega europea
Tras la cumbre de Tampere de 1999 el principio de reconocimiento mutuo se configuró como la piedra angular de la cooperación judicial en materia civil y penal. Si bien en el ámbito civil ya se habían dado algunos pasos para su puesta en práctica, en el penal los Estados miembros se mostraban más reacios su total aplicación. Fueron los atentados del 11 de septiembre los que aceleraron todo el proceso de configuración y aceptación del mencionado principio, siendo su primera manifestaciónla Decisión marco 2002/584/JAI del Consejo, de 13 de junio de 2002, relativa a la orden de detención europea y a los procedimientos de entrega entre Estados miembros. La euroorden revoluciona y actu...
El derecho penal de la Unión Europea
El estancamiento del proyecto constitucional europeo nos ha instalado en una nueva fase que se caracteriza, de un lado, por el protagonismo del TJCE a través de decisiones tan importantes como las de los casos Pupino o Comisión . Consejo y, de otro, por la paralización de la otrora frenética actividad legislativa suprnacional. Este volumen atiende a ambos fenómenos. Por una parte, el lector podrá encontrar en él cumplida información acerca del significado que las últimas sentencias del Tribunal de Luxemburgo tienen para el Derecho penal europeo. Y, por otra, un análisis en profundidad sobre los grandes temas del Espacio judicial europeo: su posible conformación como un sistema federal de Derecho penal supranacional; los actores e instituciones que lo componen; las relaciones entre instituciones nacionales y supranacionales; los fines y problemas de la armonización; los diferentes modelos en que puede plasmarse el Derecho procesal penal europeo; y, por encima de todo, su legitimidad y sus límites.
