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 ...
This volume offers an in-depth analysis of the social phenomenon of migration from various legal-linguistic perspectives. Migration has become a global phenomenon and a burning issue provoking social conflict and political instability in modern societies all over the world. The question of dealing with migrants and asylum seekers has dominated political discourse. It has given rise to national and international legislation on emigration and immigration, some of them including discriminatory provisions, pressed laws against immigration (Acts of exclusion) and prompted anti-migration rhetoric and hate speech against migrants. Important efforts have been made in both common law and civil law jurisdictions to protect migrants' fundamental rights to dignity and equality.

What are the human rights obligations of Frontex and its member states at the borders of Europe? Who is responsible when the rights of people crossing those borders are breached? Those are the main questions that this open access book addresses while exploring the evolution of the European integrated border management (EIBM). The mode of administration of European borders has become a complex and polymorphous affair involving multiple actors working at different levels, with different competences and powers. In this context, borders are no longer lines on a map but enmeshed in a tapestry of different actors and technologies. This evolution not only puts to test the relationship between terri...

O escopo da presente investigação centra-se na interpretação do tipo objectivo do crime de burla do Código Penal português. Pretende dar-se um contributo para a resolução de alguns problemas levantados logo ao nível da conduta típica. Na primeira parte, procede-se à identificação do bem jurídico tutelado, ao tratamento do conceito jurídico-penal de património. E a algumas considerações a propósito do acto de disposição da vítima como momento determinante da consumação do crime. Na segunda parte, estuda-se com maior profundidade o engano como conduta típica, incluindo os modelos de outros ordenamentos jurídicos. Optando-se por um modelo objectivo dentro da teoria da imputação objectiva, adopta-se uma posição quanto ao erro como elemento normativo, quanto aos factos como objecto do engano e quanto aos critérios de relevância típica do engano a partir da imputação dos factos às esferas de responsabilidade da vítima e do agente.
