Throughout Europe - from town halls and regional governments, through national Parliaments and ministries, to the high institutions of the European Union - there runs a vigorous debate on organised crime, municipal safety and private conduct.

The book contends that, from the fifties up to today, formalism in Brazil has expressed the hegemony of the market.
The Genocide Convention explores the question of whether the law and genocide law in particular can prevent mass atrocities.

This volume contains fourteen national reports and the general report on the subject of "Criminal Liability of Corporations," written for the XIVth Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law which was held in 1994 in Athens, Greece.

The national reports give an overview of the various trends in criminal policy when addressing the topic of liability of corporations and the general report sets out a common thread in this field.
