Esta edición contiene los discursos de laudatio del Prof. Luzón Peña y de contestación del Prof. Mir Puig durante el acto de investidura, en los que se analizan los principales hitos de la trayectoria académica y de la obra científica de Mir Puig, en especial sus múltiples aportaciones a la dogmática penal y la política criminal a partir de la propuesta que formuló en 1976 de construir e interpretar los principios y categorías del Derecho penal partiendo de los principios básicos de un Estado social y democrático de Derecho. Y, por otra parte, reúne los trabajos presentados en o derivados de un seminario internacional celebrado también en Alcalá en conexión con el doctorado honoris causa, en los que destacados penalistas españoles y extranjeros, mayoritariamente desde las escuelas de Mir y Luzón, pero también de otros grupos científicos, abordan temas centrales de la aplicación e interpretación de la ley penal, la teoría general del delito, el sistema de sanciones penales, la parte especial del Derecho penal y cuestiones constitucionales del proceso penal.
This volume critically explores the basis and the goal of punishment from the standpoint of the right to punish. The work reviews the main doctrines that have dealt with the theme of punishment from Antiquity to the present, not limiting itself to the legal-philosophical sphere but also analyzing the contributions from other social sciences. It then explores how these are reflected in the sphere of Positive Law.
This handbook explores criminal law systems from around the world, with the express aim of stimulating comparison and discussion. General principles of criminal liability receive prominent coverage in each essay—including discussions of rationales for punishment, the role and design of criminal codes, the general structure of criminal liability, accounts of mens rea, and the rights that criminal law is designed to protect—before the authors turn to more specific offenses like homicide, theft, sexual offenses, victimless crimes, and terrorism. This key reference covers all of the world's major legal systems—common, civil, Asian, and Islamic law traditions—with essays on sixteen countries on six different continents. The introduction places each country within traditional distinctions among legal systems and explores noteworthy similarities and differences among the countries covered, providing an ideal entry into the fascinating range of criminal law systems in use the world over.
This innovative study presents a genealogy of modern comparative law, examining both theory and practice around the world.
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.
