Wahrnehmung und Einstellung der Bevölkerung zum Strafvollzug werden entscheidend von den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Informationen geprägt. Fehleinschätzungen der Strafvollzugswirklichkeit sind das Ergebnis von wechselseitigen Kommunikationsprozessen, auf deren Ebenen, abhängig vom Strafvollzugszeitgeist, unterschiedliche Strafvollzugswirklichkeiten dargestellt werden. Aufgrund der spärlichen Informationsquellen der Bürger stellen die medialen Nachrichten mitunter die einzige Quelle dar, anhand derer die Rezipienten ihre Einstellung und Meinung zum Strafvollzug entwickeln. Ausgehend von diesen Überlegungen befasst sich die Dissertation mit der Frage, wie die lokale Presse über den Strafvollzug berichtet. Die Datengrundlage der Inhaltsanalyse bilden 1603 Presseartikel, die in der Meppener Tagespost erschienen sind.

"In 1989, Ben Spencer was convicted of murdering businessman Jeffrey Young-a crime he didn't commit. Spencer to spent more than half his life in prison until independent investigators, the foreman of the jury that convicted him, and a new district attorney convinced a judge that Spencer had nothing to do with the killing. He was released from prison in 2022. Journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years immersed in Spencer's case. She combed police files and court records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and had extensive conversations with Spencer. In Bringing Ben Home, she weaves together two narratives: how an innocent Black man got caught up in and couldn't escape a legal system that refused to admit its mistakes; and what Texas and other states are doing to address wrongful convictions to make the legal process more equitable for everyone"--

This book brings together empirical and theoretical case-study research on art and heritage crime. Drawn from a diverse group of researchers and professionals, the work presented explores contemporary conceptualisations of art crime within broader contexts. In this volume, we see 'art' in its usual forms for art crime scholarship: in paintings and antiquities. However, we also see art in fossils and in violins, chairs and jewellery, holes in the ground and even in the institutions meant to protect any, or all, of the above. And where there is art, there is crime. Chapters in this volume, alternatively, zoom in on specific objects, on specific locations, and on specific institutions, considering how each interact with the various conceptions of crime that exist in those contexts. This volume challenges the boundaries of what we understand as "e;art and heritage crimes"e; and displays that both art, and criminality related to art, is creative and unpredictable.

Social housing providers collect and store information about the huge number of individuals they serve, so a clear understanding of both the legislation and the practicalities of handling personal data is critical.Unfortunately, there are many myths about data protection, from needing consent to process any personal data, to organisations being prevented from helping vulnerable people due to data protection laws. These myths, and more, are addressed and debunked in this book.With clear advice and a pragmatic approach, this is the book that the author wanted and needed when working in a large housing association on data protection. As well as explaining the legal requirements, this book highlights the many benefits to housing providers, from handling personal data in a compliant manner, including improved efficiency and increased customer trust, which both help landlords fulfil their social purpose more effectively.This book shows everyone working in housing, not just data protection officers, how data protection can go from being seen as red tape or a blocker, to becoming the foundation on which to achieve the sector's goals. It doesn't just lay out the law, it also contains actionable advice and ideas for identifying risks and appropriate controls, and embedding data protection into the day-to-day work of social housing providers.ABOUT THE AUTHORWith a background in quality assurance and risk management, before specialising in data protection, as well as almost two decades in social housing, Clare Paterson has a holistic understanding of both the business risks and people-centered risks connected to data, and helps people to identify and control these risks, while continually expanding her own knowledge.Clare is committed to providing the support she knows those working with data need, from her own experience, and does this as the founder of the Hive, a free online group for data professionals in values-led sectors, and the Hive Live, an in-person conference with interactive workshops as well as expert speakers, as well as writing blog posts and articles that have featured in varied publications, and speaking at events all over the UK. She works with clients through her own consultancy, CP Data Protection, and also worked with Anthony Collins Solicitors for over 5 years, providing advice and training. Clients describe her as "friendly, professional and flexible", having a "warm and friendly approach" and her work as "excellent quality." Clare balances her work with family life, listening to rock music and podcasts (and making a true crime podcast too), and drinking too much coffee.CONTENTSChapter One - Introduction to Data Protection in Social HousingChapter Two - Data Protection Officer Role & ResponsibilitiesChapter Three - Personal DataChapter Four - The (UK)GDPR PrinciplesChapter Five - Lawful Bases for Data ProcessingChapter Six - Data Subjects' RightsChapter Seven - International Data TransfersChapter Eight - Data Sharing and Data Processors & ControllersChapter Nine - Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)Chapter Ten - Data Security, Breaches and ComplaintsChapter Eleven - Digital Transformation in Social HousingChapter Twelve - CCTV and ASBChapter Thirteen - Insight and EDI WorkChapter Fourteen - Contacting People (Including PECR and the TSMs)Chapter Fifteen - What Next?

Framework Decision 2009/948/JHA on the prevention and settlement of conflicts of exercise of jurisdiction in criminal proceedings established an ad hoc procedure for settling conflicts of criminal jurisdiction based on the mutual exchange of information and the establishment of direct consultations between the competent authorities with a view to reaching consensus on an effective solution. However, neither common legally binding criteria for deciding the best jurisdiction nor specific rules for the transfer of proceedings (which can occur after parallel proceedings have been identified) were established in this instrument, or in any other instrument adopted by the EU to date.This book analyses the current EU legal framework on conflicts of jurisdiction and transfer of criminal proceedings, paying special attention to its numerous shortcomings and loopholes from a fundamental rights and due process of law perspective. The book begins with an assessment of the various principles and grounds used by Member States for claiming criminal jurisdiction. Secondly, de lege lata EU procedure on the settlement of conflicts of criminal jurisdiction, as well as its implementation in Spain and Italy, are thoroughly examined. After discussing the main principles and fundamental rights at stake, the author proposes two alternative and original de lege ferenda models for the prevention and settlement of conflicts of criminal jurisdiction and transfer of criminal proceedings, exploring the different possibilities offered by the EU's primary law.

Indem die Rechtswissenschaft das Recht vorandenkt, kann sie am zivilisatorischen Fortschritt mit und durch Recht mitwirken. Dieser Sammelband reflektiert über diese These, die für Prof. Dr. h.c. Heike Jung eine Art Bekenntnischarakter hat, und wirft hierzu Schlaglichter auf herausgehobene Bereiche, in denen sich eine gewichtige Rolle der Rechtswissenschaft bei der Weiterentwicklung des Rechts aufdrängt: Die "tour d'horizon" reicht dabei vom Völkerstrafrecht über die die Rechtswissenschaft als Akteur der Rechtsentwicklung im Bereich der Digitalisierung bis hin zur Rolle der Strafrechtswissenschaft bei der Begrenzung und Bewältigung des menschengemachten Klimawandels.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Joxerramon Bengoetxea | Prof. Dr. Michael Bohlander | Prof. Dr. Dominik Brodowski, LL.M.

This book draws on original research and existing theoretical perspectives and frameworks to critically examine the role of roads policing and its place within the wider field of policing. It looks at the challenges and complexities of doing roads policing and experiencing roads policing from the perspectives of police officers and the public. It uses distracted driving, and more specifically mobile phone use, as an evidence-based case study for a common issue to examine the contribution it makes to collisions, and the challenges of policing it as a driver behaviour. It also discusses broader issues such as the role of roads policing, police legitimacy, the interpretation of law, the interpretation of risk and generating compliance with the law. It speaks to both policing scholars and practitioners, as well as policy makers and road safety organisations.

This book describes how statements made by non-state actors affect the scope of an individual's criminal responsibility and how they should be taken into account by domestic criminal courts. Sentencing is only possible on the basis and within the limits of the law. In the 21st century, this law increasingly means regulations formulated by various non-state actors: international organisations, human rights tribunals or statutory bodies. The content of these regulations does not only refer to states, but often has a direct impact on the legal situation of individuals. Two worlds collide here. Strict criminal law is influenced by fluid regulations issued by entities that have not been empowered to exercise the right to punish. The book presents an interpretative method to support the court's inference in the cases outlined above, based on the using the concept of two interrelated norms: the norm of the individual and the norm of the court.

Dieses Buch enthält ¿ insbesondere für Studierende, aber auch Berufseinsteiger ¿ eine Einführung in das Steuerstrafrecht sowohl in materieller als auch verfahrensrechtlicher Hinsicht. Die Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis verbinden ihre Erfahrungen zu einem mit zahlreichen Beispielsfällen (vornehmlich aus der aktuellen Rechtsprechung) versehenen Lehrwerk, welches sich zum Ziel setzt, eine auf den ersten Blick nicht leicht zugängliche Materie einprägsam darzustellen.

Jeffrey Epstein's mysterious death in prison remains a disturbing event that was at the very least an enormously fortunate coincidence for many of the most powerful people on Earth. This report from the DoJ's Office of the Inspector General is the official last word...This investigation examines the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York and identifies failures by MCC staff that compromised his safety. These failures include falsification of records, inadequate supervision, and insufficient security measures. However, the investigation did not find evidence of criminality in relation to Epstein's death. The report offers recommendations for the Bureau of Prisons to address the operational challenges and systemic issues identified. The BOP has acknowledged the recommendations and is implementing measures to address the identified issues.... until the rest of Epstein's secrets are revealed. Full color.

Robots are with us, but law and legal systems are not ready. This book identifies the issues posed by human-robot interactions in substantive law, procedural law, and law's narratives, and suggests how to address them. When human-robot interaction results in harm, who or what is responsible? Part I addresses substantive law, including the issues raised by attempts to impose criminal liability on different actors. And when robots perceive aspects of an alleged crime, can they be called as a sort of witness? Part II addresses procedural issues raised by human-robot interactions, including evidentiary problems arising out of data generated by robots monitoring humans, and issues of reliability and privacy. Beyond the standard fare of substantive and procedural law, and in view of the conceptual quandaries posed by robots, Part III offers chapters on narrative and rhetoric, suggesting different ways to understand human-robot interactions, and how to develop coherent frameworks to do that. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book is a compilation of mostly unrelated short stories, brief observations and anecdotes detailing multiple events that I was party to, witnessed, read in police reports or heard about mostly during my nearly thirty-seven years of service in the Massachusetts court system at the Attleboro District Court, then as Clerk-Magistrate of the Wrentham District Court. I got to know many hardworking, honest court employees, attorneys and police officers who did their best every day to fulfill the valid expectations of those noble professions. There are also stories included that have nothing to do with the courts that I hope you will find interesting or humorous. My third grade Nun, Sister Mary Alice would gasp in disbelief if she knew that I am sometimes being introduced as an author! The book is divided into twelve chapters. I have tried to focus on positive aspects and included stories where it seemed to make the most sense, but many could have been listed in more than one chapter. In general, after a determination of culpability I would quite often give people a break on speeding tickets and other nonviolent offenses, but usually not on serious cases, especially where victims had been physically harmed. I have tried to remember funny aspects of criminal and civil matters even when the humor was generated from a serious case. The recognition of humor should not be taken to be disrespectful to victims of crime as making victims whole was always my main objective. As long as feelings aren't hurt - laughter is the best medicine! Whenever a judge or clerk-magistrate is mentioned on these pages I have also included the appointing authority. This is not intended to define judicial philosophy, political alignment or any other consequential matter. I just believe that identification with the appointing Governor becomes an integral part of the clerk-magistrate or judge's life. I heard testimony from victims, plaintiffs, defendants, respondents, uniformed police officers, detectives and other witnesses while hearing small claims, civil motor vehicle infractions, arrest & search warrant requests & criminal show cause hearings. Most people were truthful, but many were not. When it came to telling a lie, some of our litigants made George Santos look like George Washington! A Cape Cod attorney smiled and told me one time that it seems as though I make my living listening to people lie to me. We both had a good laugh about such a unique job description!

Korruption und Manipulationen im Sport sind so alt, wie der Sport selbst. In der jüngeren Vergangenheit scheint die Manipulation von Sportveranstaltungen aufgrund der globalen medialen Verknüpfung allerdings ein nicht nur beiläufiges Phänomen zu sein. Verdachtsfälle erstrecken sich mittlerweile auf sämtliche Sportarten und über Ländergrenzen hinweg. Hier stellt sich die Frage: Welche Maßnahmen können seitens des Gesetzgebers, der Sportverbände und -vereine ergriffen werden, um präventiv auf die Vermeidung von Manipulationen hinzuwirken? Der Verfasser unterzieht die geltenden Regeln und Maßnahmen am Beispiel des Fußballsports in unterschiedlichen Fallkonstellationen einer Bewertung und stellt dar, wo Präventionsmaßnahmen zur Steigerung der Effektivität sinnvoll implementiert werden können.

Die Staatsanwaltschaft und die Polizei sind äußerst wichtige Akteure im Strafprozess, sowohl in Deutschland als auch in Schottland. Aus diesem und weiteren Gründen befasst sich diese rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung mit dem Aufbau und den Aufgaben dieser Ermittlungsorgane in den beiden Ländern und mit deren Beziehungen zueinander. Es werden ferner die Beziehung der Staatsanwaltschaft zur Ministerialebene und die Kontrollmöglichkeiten der Ermittlungsorgane durch die Gerichte behandelt. Weitere Untersuchungsgegenstände sind insbesondere die Alternativen, die den Ermittlungsorganen neben der Anklageerhebung zur Verfügung stehen, und die Rolle der Staatsanwaltschaft bei Abspracheverfahren.

Ethics has the most basic purpose of Ethiopia's schools, to teach students about moral responsibilities and social values. Students should have moral and civic virtues. Ethics concerned with the rights and welfare of others and social responsibility. Civic education is the study of the theoretical, political and practical aspects of citizenship, as well as its rights and duties. Ethical Education involves exploring different worldviews and beliefs, considering ethical dilemmas and the process of ethical decision-making. Civic Education teaches students about their rights and duties. It theoretically empowers them to participate actively in political, economic, social and cultural affairs. It also acquaints them with the nature as well as power and duties of the government. The major role of civics and ethical education is to produce a 'good citizen'. A good citizen, as explained by Akalewold (2005), is a citizen who understands properly the problem of their country, understand the citizenry obligation to make personal contribution equipped with good ethical and democratic culture.

This book analyses gender-based offences on the Internet from the perspective of international human rights law, interwoven with rights theories and feminist legal theories. It investigates whether international human rights law is applicable in regulating harmful online conduct and speech, with a focus on sexual violence, various forms of harassment, sexist hate speech and harmful pornography. This involves assessing whether gender-based online offences are considered violations of international human rights law and - if they are recognised as such explicitly or by way of interpretation - the extent of state obligations. The book reviews a range of international law sources, such as selected international human rights law treaties, case law, soft-law documents and academic scholarship. The application of general human rights law provisions to the online sphere is evaluated by considering the online/offline coherence of provisions as well as potential gaps, inconsistencies and disadvantages that exist in the regulation of online gender-based offences. The makeup, aim and effect of social spheres, areas of law and legal principles are thus assessed in relation to gender and the Internet. Aspects discussed include the architecture of the Internet, the structure of public international law, the harm principle as employed in domestic law and international human rights law, and the scope of particular rights, mainly involving the freedom of expression and the right to privacy. Working from the premise that the transposition of international human rights law to the Internet must ensure the former's functionality and effectiveness, the book argues that a contextual application of rights is called for. This requires assessing what is harmful online - including the effects of online speech and conduct - and what are effective means of regulating liability on the Internet. In turn, such assessments require a gender-sensitive approach.

This book offers up-to-date information and guidance on the application of metrology in legal proceedings, clarifying the limits of validity of scientific evidence and presenting an illuminating series of case studies in which measurement uncertainty has played an important role. The fundamental concepts of metrology are discussed, and it is explained how metrology is capable of quantifying the reliability of measurement results and thereby contributing to appropriate decision making. With the aid of the presented case studies, this book will assist readers in understanding how legal decisions should be made in the presence of uncertainty. Areas covered in those studies include breath alcohol concentration analysis, and DNA profiling. Nowadays, decisions in most legal cases are based on evidence obtained through scientific analysis involving the acquisition of accurate measurements. Against this background, Forensic Metrology will be of value for lawyers and judges in both civil and common law countries, as well as engineers and other scientists with an interest in the subject.
