Human Rights and the Criminal Justice System
AvAnthony Amatrudo,Leslie Blake
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
2 280 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
We now live in a world which thinks through the legislative implications of criminal justice with one eye on human rights. Human Rights and the Criminal Justice System provides comprehensive coverage of human rights as it relates to the contemporary criminal justice system. As well as being a significant aspect of international governance and global justice, Amatrudo and Blake argue here that human rights have also eclipsed the rhetoric of religion in contemporary moral discussion. This book explores topics such as terrorism, race, and the rights of prisoners, as well as existing legal structures, court practices, and the developing literature in Criminology, Law and Political Science, in order to critically review the relationship between the developing body of human rights theory and practice, and the criminal justice system. This book will be of considerable interest to those with academic concerns in this area; as well as providing an accessible, yet sophisticated, resource for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate human rights courses.
Law in Popular Belief
Myth and Reality

Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In recent years there has been a significant growth in interest of the so-called “law in context” extending legal studies beyond black letter law. This book looks at the relationship between statute law and legal practice. It examines how law is applied in reality and more precisely how law is perceived by the general public in contrast to the legal profession. The authors look at a number of themes that are central to examining ways in which myths about law are formed, and how there is inevitably a constitutive power aspect to this myth making. At the same time they explore to what extent law itself creates and sustains myths. The book will be of general interest to a number of different disciplines such as legal theory, general law, criminology and sociology.

Criminal Actions and Social Situations
Understanding the Role of Structure and Intentionality
AvAnthony Amatrudo
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
866 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
This book develops a more nuanced, and technically rigorous, account of persons and groups in the context of intentional action and responsibility. Until now criminologists have taken groups as fairly straightforward associations and neglected the technical – and problematic – issues of how intention and action both structure membership and action. Amatrudo also assesses the often-overlooked fleeting nature of many groups and the overstated continuity of group membership, and this book has radical implications for the way we describe criminal groupings e.g. “criminal” groups with their loose bonds but tight sense of intentionality from criminogenic groups with their tight bonds and loose sense of intentionality. A key issue investigated here is the implications involved for people incarcerated on joint criminal enterprise charges and gang membership-related charges; and this timely topic will be of great interest to academics and students of Criminology, Law, Sociology and a variety ofother Social Sciences. The volume will also be useful for lawyers, social workers, community workers and others involved in the criminal justice system.

Social Censure and Critical Criminology
After Sumner
AvAnthony Amatrudo
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited collection focuses on the sociology of 'social censure' – the sociological term advocated by Colin Sumner in his seminal writing of the 1980s and 1990s. Social censure has become increasingly important in contemporary criminological writing. This can especially be seen in recent writing on gender and race and also in terms of the way that the state's relationship to crime is now understood. This collection addresses a deficit in the published literature and both revisits themes from an earlier era and looks forward to the development of new writing that develops Sumner’s seminal work on social censure. The contributors are drawn from leading scholars from across the Social Sciences and Law and they address a wide range of issues such as: race, youth justice, policing, welfare, and violence. The resulting volume is an interdisciplinary text which will be of special interest to scholars and students of Critical Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies, as well as those interestedin the operation of the criminal justice system and criminological theory.

"power and ideology
"the nature of the state
"social control and policing
"punishment
"economics and criminal activity
"morality.

Legal Responsibility, Criminal Culpability and Group Membership
AvAnthony Amatrudo
Inbunden, Engelska, 2031

Tillfälligt slut
The need to deepen our understanding of the bases for, and mechanisms of, the appropriate attribution of moral responsibility and legal culpability of groups is especially relevant given the recent developments in the law of association in relation to membership of 'extremist' groups in terrorist cases; as well as cases of gang/group violence, notably in relation to the recent spate of knife and gun crimes in many inner cities. This book examines the ontological nature of criminal groups and issues of legal responsibility and culpability. While the distinction between 'criminal' groups (professional bank robbers, for example), with their loose bonds but tight sense of intentionality, from criminogenic groups (e.g. youth in street gangs), with their tight bonds and loose sense of intentionality is known in criminological theory, and formally in law, it has been largely unexamined in terms of the ontological aspects of 'belonging' to a group. The study also explores the complex combination of legal and social factors that has underscored the inadequacy of criminal law in relation to corporate offenders. In law companies have been identified as individuals, save in cases of strict liability and typically criminal law does not recognise the corporate form in attributing blame when dealing with responsibility. The book examines the theoretical language used in relation to corporate offenders by drawing on an emerging focus on ontology in socio-legal studies
