»Shame Sanctions - (il)legitimate form of punishment? Overview and Analysis«: The thesis deals with the question of the legitimacy of shame sanctions, a form of sanctions that has been imposed in the USA since the 1980s.

A new breed of reform-minded prosecutors tells their stories about the challenges and successes of making change from inside the system Growing up in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing projects, Kim Foxx never anticipated that she would become the chief prosecutor in the country’s second-biggest county. When Chesa Boudin was a baby, his parents were arrested and incarcerated. Visiting them in prison for decades helped shape his convictions about what justice does—and doesn’t—look like in the United States. Now, along with eleven other reform-minded prosecutors voters put in office throughout the country, they reflect on the task they set for themselves: making change from within. Using the power of their office, which has traditionally fueled mass incarceration and harsh punishments, this new breed of elected prosecutors has joined the movement to shake up the justice system. In Change from Within, these visionaries describe their journeys to office, what they are doing to change “business as usual,” the pushback they’ve experienced, and their thoughts on reforms that are possible working from the inside. Published in partnership with Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), drawing from interviews conducted by FJP executive director Miriam Krinsky, a former federal prosecutor, this unprecedented book includes intensely personal first-person profiles of thirteen transformative DAs. Each story is accompanied by an image inspired by the prosecutor and created by a formerly incarcerated artist.

Le Traité sur la tolérance est une oeuvre de Voltaire publiée en 1763.Ce texte vise la réhabilitation de Jean Calas, protestant faussement accusé et exécuté pour avoir assassiné son fils afin d'éviter que ce dernier ne se convertisse au catholicisme. Dans ce Traité sur la Tolérance, Voltaire invite à la tolérance entre les religions et prend pour cible le fanatisme religieux (plus particulièrement celui des jésuites chez lesquels il a fait de brillantes études étant jeune homme) et présente un réquisitoire contre les superstitions accolées aux religions.En janvier 2015, à la suite de l'attentat contre Charlie Hebdo, l'ouvrage de Voltaire se place au sommet des ventes des librairies un peu partout dans le monde. Ses ventes en France explosent en 2014 avec 185 000 exemplaires.L'oeuvre voltairienne fait suite au procès, à la condamnation à mort et à l'exécution de Jean Calas, père de famille huguenot, le 10 mars 1762.Jean Calas appartient à une famille protestante à l'exception de sa servante, catholique, et d'un de ses fils, converti au catholicisme.À la suite de la mort par suicide supposé de son fils aîné, la famille Calas se retrouve faussement accusée d'homicide volontaire.La famille est mise aux fers et le père, à la demande populaire, et sur ordre de 13 juges, est condamné à mort malgré l'absence de preuve. Le contexte historique est alors encore fortement marqué par les guerres de religions françaises des siècles précédents.À la suite de l'exécution de Jean Calas, qui plaide son innocence jusqu'à sa mort, le procès est rejugé à Paris et, le 9 mars 1765, la famille Calas est réhabilitée.La table des matières reproduite ci-dessous montre bien la démarche philosophique de Voltaire pour faire progresser le concept de tolérance. Il commence par un rappel des faits, poursuit en montrant que la tolérance devrait être naturelle pour le genre humain. Il se réfère aux anciens Grecs et Romains, puis détruit ensuite toutes les objections et notamment celle du martyr. Il investigue dans le Judaïsme, qu'il connaît bien, et n'y trouve pas plus de trace d'intolérance.Ensuite, il se penche sur la Chrétienté. Il donne sa conception du rapport entre Jésus-Christ et la tolérance en montrant constamment des signes de respect, d'allégeance, et en fournissant le plus possible de références chrétiennes comme Jésus-Christ lui-même, la Bible et les évangiles, et de nombreux auteurs chrétiens.

This book explores the decisions made by the various stakeholders who play a role in the incarceration of men in the Caribbean. It argues that these decisions are based on patriarchal perceptions and stereotypes related to familial roles of men and women, and by extension their motivations for offending.

Handbook on the Consequences of Sentencing and Punishment Decisions, the third volume in the Routledge ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing Series, includes contemporary essays on the consequences of punishment during an era of mass incarceration. The Handbook Series offers state-of-the-art volumes on seminal and topical issues that span the fields of sentencing and corrections. In that spirit, the editors gathered contributions that summarize what is known in each topical area and also identify emerging theoretical, empirical, and policy work. The book is grounded in the current knowledge about the specific topics, but also includes new, synthesizing material that reflects the knowledge of the leading minds in the field.Following an editors' introduction, the volume is divided into four sections. First, two contributions situate and contextualize the volume by providing insight into the growth of mass punishment over the past three decades and an overview of the broad consequences of punishment decisions. The overviews are then followed by a section exploring the broader societal impacts of punishment on housing, employment, family relationships, and health and well-being. The third section centers on special populations and examines the unique effects of punishment for juveniles, immigrants, and individuals convicted of sexual or drug-related offenses. The fourth section focuses on institutional implications with contributions on jails, community corrections, and institutional corrections.

This edited collection brings together leading international academics and researchers to provide a comprehensive body of literature that informs the future of prison and wider corrective services training, education, research, policy and practice. ¿¿

There has been a dearth of longitudinal attention to the prosecution of 'road traffic deaths' in Australia and worldwide, surprising given more than 50 million people have died or been killed to date. Globally, the 'road toll' is estimated at 1.35 million per year. Almost all of those deaths are attributable to some form of human error. A Lesser Species of Homicide examines the shifting nexus where human error, fault, act or omission meet the question of criminal liability.In the first study of its kind in the world, Kerry King examines how parliaments, prosecutors, police and the courts have responded to deaths occasioned by the use of motor vehicles from the mid-twentieth century to the present, including the extent to which the community and judiciary have been prepared to label driving conduct culpable. She explores how wedded we are to the residual notion of 'accident', to speed, drink-driving, risk, masculinity and the broader driving culture, and how these have intersected with the tenets of intention, negligence, dangerousness and carelessness to affect judgments about drivers' conduct. Drawing on hundreds of cases, King carefully traces the construction of offences and case law while observing key emerging themes, including approaches to multiple fatalities, outcomes in cases involving vulnerable road users, the difficulties with prosecuting intoxicated drivers and, most importantly, trends in charging standards and sentencing.For rigour, one Australian jurisdiction, Western Australia, has been chosen as the site of inquiry, yet there is little evidence to suggest that the trends explored herein are peculiar or exceptional. The status quo elsewhere in Australia and overseas appears remarkably similar.A Lesser Species of Homicide seeks to explore how and why deaths on the road have been treated as a species apart.
