Münsterberg's essays on courtroom psychology are based on his observations in trials; dating to the early 20th century, this work is a pioneering example of forensic psychology.Working as a Harvard professor of psychology at the beginning of the 20th century, Hugo Munsterberg sought to shed light upon aspects of criminal trials. Münsterberg's enquiries span the unreliability of witness testimonies and fallible nature of human memory, plus phenomena such as false confessions and the complex psychology behind them. In support of his analyses, the author conducted experiments testing the recall of students, demonstrating how their memories and responses varied widely despite receiving the same information to answer and remember.The author is particularly focused upon the emergence of unreliable testimony due to coercion on the part of police interrogators. The intense pressure placed on suspects and other involved persons affects the veracity of testimony, with many prosecution cases dependent upon fabricated ideas, false memories, and self-confident juries which produce poor outcomes. Rather than simply criticize the flaws from a psychological point of view, Munsterberg appends various suggestions for reform directed at prosecutors and investigators, trial judges, lawyers, and treatment of the jury.

In today's modern era, it has never been more crucial to ensure the safety of vulnerable populations, in particular Black individuals, in custody. Further study is required to implement best practices and strategies that improve protection. Comparing Black Deaths in Custody, Police Brutality, and Social Justice Solutions describes the actions that lead to the death of Black people while they are in the process of being detained by a law enforcement agent or are already detained. This publication focuses on three core countries, America, Australia, and South Africa, where Black deaths in custody appear to occur at higher rates. Covering key topics such as racism, prejudice, and slavery, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, law enforcement officers, government officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Das bereits in 7. Auflage vorliegende Standardwerk zum Revisionsrecht bietet eine hervorragende und gründliche Darstellung des schwierigen Rechtsgebiets der Revision im Strafprozeß. Das Werk wendet sich an alle mit der Revision in Strafsachen befaßten Juristen in Praxis, Ausbildung und Wissenschaft, indem es insbesondere aus der Perspektive der Bearbeiter von Revisionsbegründungen den gesamten Gang des Rechtsmittels - von der Verkündung des anzufechtenden Urteils bis zur Entscheidung des Revisionsgerichts bzw. des neu mit der Sache befaßten Tatgerichts - behandelt.Die bereits in den Vorauflagen bewährte Struktur der Darstellung wurde beibehalten und ermöglicht so ein rasches Einarbeiten in die dargestellte Rechtsmaterie wie auch den gezielten Zugriff auf Problemschwerpunkte. Die seit der Vorauflage intensiv geführte Diskussion innerhalb des Gegenstandsbereiches, die nicht ohne Auswirkung in der Rechtsprechung blieb, machte eine umfassende Neubearbeitung erforderlich. In ihr gelingt es dem Verfasser - langjährigem Strafverteidiger und Honorarprofessor an der Universität Frankfurt am Main - die neueren Entwicklungen des Revisionsrechts abzubilden und mit eigenen kritischen Vorschlägen zu ergänzen.

Mit der neu bearbeiteten und erweiterten 3. Auflage wird das Standardwerkzum Maßregelvollzugsrecht auf den aktuellen Stand der Gesetzgebung aller16 Länder und des Bundes sowie der Rechtsprechung und der Vollzugspraxisgebracht. Die teils sehr unterschiedlich gestalteten Regelungen in den 16 Landesgesetzen (vollständig dokumentiert) werden grundsätzlich zu Themenbereichen zusammengefasst, aber dort, wo es erforderlich ist, auch differenzierend kommentiert. Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung und der kriminalpolitischen Einordnung des Maßregelvollzugs werden die verfassungs- und verwaltungsrechtlichen Grundlagen von Freiheitsentzug und Wiedereingliederungsansprüchen ¿ auch im Lichte internationaler Standards ¿ vor die ausführliche Behandlung folgender Themen gestellt: ¿ Grundrechte und zulässige Einschränkungen¿ Verhältnismäßigkeitsprinzip und Ungefährlichkeitsvermutung¿ Vollzugsorganisation und Kosten¿ Behandlungsplanung, Behandlung, Mitwirkungspflichten und Zwang¿ das Maß des zulässigen Freiheitsentzugs zwischen Sicherungsnotwendigkeitund Lockerungsanspruch¿ Dokumentationspflichten und Akteneinsichtsrechte¿ der gerichtliche Rechtsschutz. In der 3. Auflage neu hinzugekommen ist eine umfangreiche Kommentierungdes Vollstreckungsrechts sowie ein Kapitel über besondere Personengruppenim Maßregelvollzug.

Der Löwe-Rosenberg enthält die grundlegende, umfassende Kommentierung des deutschen Strafprozessrechts und gibt dem Benutzer eine Hilfe zur Lösung nicht nur häufig auftauchender, sondern auch entlegener Sachfragen. Der Großkommentar erläutert die StPO, das GVG, das EGGVG sowie die das Strafverfahren betreffenden Vorschriften der EMRK und des IPBPR. Der gegenwärtige Erkenntnisstand und der Stand der rechtlichen Kontroversen sind vollständig dargestellt. Der Löwe-Rosenberg ist als Großkommentar der Praxis angelegt, bei Darstellung und Gewichtung wird stets auf Praxisbezug und Praxistauglichkeit geachtet. Auch für die Neuauflage konnten wieder besonders fachkundige Herausgeber und Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis gewonnen werden, die für eine wissenschaftlich fundierte und zugleich praxisorientierte Erläuterung stehen. Band 10/2 enthält die Kommentierung zu den Verfahrenskosten (§§ 464-473a), zur Erteilung von Auskünften und Akteneinsicht (§§ 474-482), zur Datenverarbeitung (§§ 483-491), zum staatanwaltlichen Verfahrensregister (§§ 492- 495), zum Schutz und zur Verwendung personenbezogener Daten in Akten (§§ 496-499) und zur Anwendbarkeit des Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (§ 500).

Kaum ein Grundrecht trägt so schemenhafte Umrisse wie die Freiheit der Person (Art. 2 Abs. 2 S. 2, 104 GG). Unter Verfassungsinterpreten gilt sie bisweilen als ein "Nischengrundrecht". Bei der Freiheitsentziehung, vor der die Garantie schützen soll, handelt es sich gleichwohl um eine hochspezifische und praxisrelevante Erscheinungsform von Staatsgewalt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit nimmt David Kuch das Nebeneinander von lückenhafter Aufarbeitung und tatsächlicher Virulenz zum Anlass für eine breit angelegte Reinterpretation der Freiheit der Person. Er führt historische Entwicklungslinien, gängige Auslegungsargumente und allgemeine Grundrechtslehren zu einer anspruchsvollen, neuartigen Lesart der Freiheit der Person zusammen. Der Ansatz trägt sodann zur Kritik zentraler Institute der Freiheitsentziehung bei. Besonders die präventiven Haft- und Unterbringungsformen (z.B. Präventivgewahrsam, Untersuchungshaft, Psychiatrieunterbringung, Sicherungsverwahrung) erweisen sich als problematisch.

Die Befugnisse der Strafverfolgungsbehörden für die Erhebungen von Daten bei Privaten - primär die §§ 94 ff. sowie § 161 I 1 StPO - stammen im Kern noch aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Können diese in Anbetracht der Entwicklung der verfassungsrechtlichen Maßstäbe des Datenschutzrechts noch eine verfassungsrechtlich tragfähige Eingriffsgrundlage bilden? Emma Peters setzt sich mit den tatsächlichen Kommunikationsbedingungen der Informationsgesellschaft, den Reaktionen in der Praxis der Strafverfolgung im Rahmen des einfachen Rechts sowie der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zum Datenschutzrecht auseinander. Sie zeigt auf, dass die scheinbar selbstverständlichen Ermittlungsbefugnisse zur Datenerhebung bei Privaten mit der Entwicklung des Datenschutzes in den letzten 20 Jahren, wie sie insbesondere in der Rechtsprechung des Ersten Senats des Bundesverfassungsgerichts geprägt wurden, nicht mehr ohne weiteres vereinbar sind und grundlegendem Reformbedarf unterliegen.

This book is the first empirical study of police discretion in India. Going beyond anecdotal accounts, it addresses the issues and concerns of arrest discretion behaviour of police with analysis of available literature internationally, testing the validity in the context of police in India.

Penal Abolitionism and Transformative Justice in Brazil discusses how penal abolitionism provides fundamental theoretical bases and practical references for the construction of a transformative justice in Brazil, supporting the claim that justice is a socially constructed conception and that victims do not unanimously stand for punishment.The book explores how the active participation of the protagonists of a conflict in a face-to-face negotiation of symbolic reparation, can produce a sense of justice without the need to punish or impose suffering on anyone. Mapping the ways that restorative justice in Brazil has distanced itself from the potential of transformative justice, to the extent that it fails to politicize the conflict and give voice to victims, the book shows how it has resulted in becoming just a new version of penal alternatives with correctionalist content. Moving away from traditional criminal justice language and also from conservative approaches to restorative justice, the author argues that the communicative potential of the transformative kind of redress can be dissociated from the unproved assumption that legal punishment is essential or even likely to achieve justice or deterrence. The arguments are grounded in the Brazilian reality, where life is marked by deep social inequalities and a high level of police violence. By providing a review of the literature on restorative justice, transformative justice, and abolitionism, the book contextualizes the abolitionist debate in Brazil and its history in the 19th century.Penal Abolitionism and Transformative Justice in Brazil is important reading for students and scholars who study punishment and penal abolitionism, to think about what it is possible to do in societies so deeply marked by social injustice and a history of oppression.

Forced Mobility of EU Citizens is a critical evaluation from an empirical perspective of existing practices of the use of transnational criminal justice instruments within the European Union. Such instruments include the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), prisoner transfer procedures and criminal law-related deportations.The voices and experiences of people transferred across internal borders of the European Union are brought to the fore in this book. Another area explored is the scope and value of EU citizenship rights in light of cooperation not just between judicial authorities of EU Member States, but criminal justice systems in general, including penitentiary institutions. The novelty of the book lays not only in the fact that it brings to the fore a topic that so far has been under-researched, but it also brings together academics and studies from different parts of Europe - from the west (i.e. the expelling countries) and the east (the receiving countries, with a special focus on two of the jurisdictions most affected by these processes - Poland and Romania). It therefore exposes processes that have so far been hidden, shows the links between sending and receiving countries, and elaborates on the harms caused by those instruments and the very idea of 'justice' behind them. This book also introduces a new element to deportation studies as it links to them the institution of the European Arrest Warrant and EU law transfers targeting prisoners and sentenced individuals.With a combination of legal, criminological, and sociological perspectives, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students with an interest in EU law, criminal law, transnational criminal justice, migration/immigration, and citizenship.

This book examines how major but often under-scrutinised legal, social, and technological developments have affected the transparency and accountability of the criminal justice process. Drawing on empirical and evaluative studies, as well as their own research experiences, the authors explore key legal policy issues such as equality of access, remote and virtual courts, justice system data management, and the roles of public and media observers. Highlighting the implications of recent changes for access to justice, offender rehabilitation, and public access to information, the book proposes a framework for open justice which prioritises public legal education and justice system accountability.

Evidence-based policing (EBP) has become a key perspective for practitioners and researchers concerned with the future of policing. This volume provides both a review of where evidence-based policing stands today and a consideration of emerging trends and ideas likely to be important in the future. It includes comparative and international contributions, as well as researcher and practitioner perspectives. While emphasizing traditional evidence-based methods and approaches, the book also identifies barriers to the advancement of evidence-based policing and expands the vision of evidence-based policing by critically examining ethical and moral concerns and questions. The book's main focus is not on what has to happen in police agencies to advance EBP, but rather on an issue that has received far less attention - the science that is necessary to produce for EBP to be successfully integrated into policing.

This edited volume represents a joint effort by international experts to analyze the prevalence and nature of gender-based domestic violence across the globe and how it is dealt with at both national and international levels. With studies being conducted in 20 different countries and 4 distinct regions, the contributors to this volume shed light on the ways in which contextual particularities shape the practices and strategies of addressing the socio-cultural and legal problem of gender-based domestic violence in the countries or regions where they do research. Special attention is devoted to developing countries where there is a lack of a consistent legal definition of gender-based domestic violence and where violence against women is widely considered a private matter. The authors of the chapters share a common goal of raising public awareness of the significance in nuanced local experiences of women and other individuals from gender and sexual minority groups facing gender-based violence.Furthermore, the authors attend, analytically, to the newly emerging, overlapping influences of COVID-19 and global warming. Their research findings acknowledge and provide a detailed account of how the two ecological and socio-economic crises can combine to produce economic devastation, disconnect victims from necessary social services and assistance, and create a large degree of panic and uncertainty. In addition, they intend to offer insights into next steps to not only adjust existing public policies, legislation, and social services to the ever-changing national and global contexts, but also to make new ones.The book is intended for a wide range of scholars (both professors and students) and practitioners in a large number of areas, including but not limited to criminal justice, criminology, law, human rights, social justice, social work, nursing, sociology, and political or public affairs.

This edited volume represents a joint effort by international experts to analyze the prevalence and nature of gender-based domestic violence across the globe and how it is dealt with at both national and international levels.

This book presents a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study into the various goals assigned to international criminal trials. It starts from the proposition that no hierarchy exists amongst the different goals meaning that trials should strive to achieve all of them in equal measure.

Bent Isager-Nielsen svarer på danskernes mange spørgsmål om lov, orden og kriminalsager til foredrag og i ugebladet Ude og Hjemme. I denne bog har han samlet nogle af de bedste spørgsmål og sine svar under en række temaer, som han herefter uddyber. Bent Isager-Nielsen trækker på sine egne erfaringer som efterforsker, drabs- og Rejseholdschef samt politiinspektør og fortæller om sager, han har været med til at opklare, eller som han har fulgt fra sidelinjen helt op til i dag."Engang var det altid mig, der stillede spørgsmålene. Men jeg skal love for, at rollerne i dag er byttet rundt ... Jeg tror, det hænger sammen med det basalt menneskelige i, at vi alle både frygter og fascineres af det menneskelige mørke. Men grundlæggende hersker der bare en dyb interesse for faget."
