Abstract

Quelles analyses peut-on faire de la fréquence des interventions de la CPI en Afrique ? Pourquoi tous les suspects sont-ils des ressortissants du continent africain, même si cet état de fait repose sur des bases juridiques conformes au droit international. La politique du bureau du procureur de la CPI est-elle dictée par les rapports de force politico-militaires qui se présentent sur le terrain ? Quelles alternatives s'offrent à la CPI et aux Etats africains ? Le châtiment judiciaire est-il la seule voie de lutte contre l'impunité ?

Abstract

The US Department of Justice is under fire for failing to prosecute banks that caused the 2008 economic meltdown because they are too big to jail. Prosecutors have long neglected to hold corporate executives accountable for chronic mistakes that kill and injure workers and customers. This book, the first of its kind, analyzes five industrial catastrophes that have killed or sickened consumers and workers or caused irrevocable harm to the environment. From the Texas City refinery explosion to the Upper Big Branch mine collapse, the root causes of these preventable disasters include crimes of commission and omission. Although federal prosecutors have made a start on holding low-level managers liable, far more aggressive prosecution is appropriate as a matter of law, policy, and justice. Written in accessible and jargon-free language, this book recommends innovative interpretations of existing laws to elevate the prosecution of white-collar crime at the federal and state levels.

Abstract

In the globalized world an extensive process of international migration has developed. The resulting conundrum of issues when examining crime and migration makes for a bitterly complex and intriguing set of debates. In this compelling account, Dario Melossi provides an authoritative take on the theory and research examining the connection of crime, migration and punishment. Through a socio-historical and criminological approach, he shows that the core questions of migrants′ criminal behaviour are tightly related to the rules and practices of migrants' reception within the various countries' social and normative structures. Written for students, academics, researchers and activists with an interest in the topic, the book will appeal to individuals in a range of disciplines, from criminology and sociology to politics, international relations, ethnic studies, geography, social policy and development

Abstract

"This book traces the long-term genesis of the sixth- century Roman legal penalty of forced monastic penance. The late antique evidence on this penal institution runs counter to a scholarly consensus that Roman legal principle did not acknowledge the use of corrective punitive confinement"--
