Fordham University Press Terror Trials: Life and Law in Delhi's Courts
Book SynopsisAn ethnography of terrorism trials in Delhi, India, this book explores what modes of life are made possible in the everyday experience of the courtroom. Mayur Suresh shows how legal procedures and technicalities become the modes through which courtrooms are made habitable. Where India’s terror trials have come to be understood by way of the expansion of the security state and displays of Hindu nationalism, Suresh elaborates how they are experienced by defendants in a quite different way, through a minute engagement with legal technicalities. Amidst the grinding terror trials—which are replete with stories of torture, illegal detention and fabricated charges—defendants school themselves in legal procedures, became adept petition writers, build friendships with police officials, cultivate cautious faith in the courts and express a deep sense of betrayal when this trust is belied. Though seemingly mundane, legal technicalities are fraught and highly contested, and acquire urgent ethical qualities in the life of a trial: the file becomes a space in which the world can be made or unmade, the petition a way of imagining a future, and investigative and courtroom procedures enable the unexpected formation of close relationships between police and terror-accused. In attending to the ways in which legal technicalities are made to work in everyday interactions among lawyers, judges, accused terrorists, and police, Suresh shows how human expressiveness, creativity and vulnerability emerge through the law.Table of ContentsAbbreviations and Glossary | ix Introduction | 1 1 Custodial Intimacy: Law and the Police in Two Parts | 35 2 Recycled Legality: Doing Things with Legal Language | 71 3 Law and the Vulnerable State | 92 4 Hypertext: Files and the Fabrication of the World | 115 5 Certification and the Fabrication of Truths | 137 6 Petition Writing: Desire, Ethics, Mourning | 169 Conclusion: An Acquittal? | 199 Acknowledgments | 213 Notes | 219 References | 235 Index | 251

Morgan James Publishing llc A Toast to Silence: Avoid Becoming Another Victim
Book SynopsisEvery day, police deception tactics fool millions of Americans into giving evidence they don’t have to give, leading to their arrest and conviction in court because they don’t know when and how to take advantage of their absolute constitutional right to remain silent. By the time they hear the Miranda warning, they have already voluntarily given up the evidence the police need to make an arrest by answering questions and taking sobriety tests, and in many cases, they’ve already guaranteed they’ll lose in court. A Toast to Silence focuses on the right time before the Miranda warning to remain silent and not take tests and on the exact word-for-word lies the police cleverly disguise as truths to make people give up evidence—and shows you exactly when and how to use the power of silence to overcome these deceptive tactics for success in court.Table of ContentsPreface PART 1 The Culture of Deception PART II The Great American Con Job PART III A Nation of Talkaholics Who Lose in Court PART IV Leveling the Playing Field Summation About the Author

American Bar Association One Hundred Days Before Trial: A Family Lawyer's
Book SynopsisThe author offers an alternative to the mad-dash scramble model of trial preparation, with a simple message: start early with the end in mind, develop a plan, and maintain self-discipline to work the plan on a regular basis. The book is broken into segments based upon arbitrary time periods. The reader need not precisely follow the schedules suggested; they are simply guidelines to consider. Each case is different and one must prepare according to each case's dynamics. What is essential and common to all cases, however, is the necessity of thinking first, acting second and being mindful both of the big picture and the fine details.

American Bar Association Ten Great American Trials: Lessons in Advocacy
Book SynopsisTen Great American Trials provides chapter-length accounts of some of the most highly publicizedand fascinatingcourt cases of the twentieth century. Embedded in each of our narratives is an analysis of the use by prosecutors and defense attorneys of trial advocacy techniques (involving discovery, pre-trial motions, jury selection, direct testimony, cross-examination, the introduction of forensic exhibits, and summations) to craft compelling stories about what happened. We also assess the impact of cultural, social, and political values on the proceedings and the outcomes. We selected the cases, several of which have been dubbed "the crime of the century," because they are dramatic, suspenseful, emotional, intellectually powerful, and have become part of American culture.

Entryways to Criminal Justice analyzes the thresholds that distinguish law-abiding individuals from those who may be criminalized. Contributors to the volume adopt social, historical, cultural, and political perspectives to explore the accusatory process that place persons in contact with the law.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Practical Guide to Using International Human
Book SynopsisWith this book, the authors provide a practical, experience-based guide for advocates seeking remedies for human rights violations through the use of international institutions. They offer step-by-step approaches for maximizing the institutions 'intended effect' promotion of human rights at all levels. Since 1948, when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, mechanisms for addressing human rights violations have multiplied to include UN Charter based bodies, treaty-based organizations including the international criminal court, and regional institutions. Each mechanism has its own admissibility requirements: accreditation, timeliness of claims and exhaustion of remedies. For practitioners, the maze of rules and institutions can be difficult to navigate. The authors are able to offer guidance on how to work within international criminal and human rights mechanisms in a way that is useful to non-government actors and applies to English-speaking practitioners almost anywhere on the globe.These pages will serve as an indispensable manual for human rights practitioners, defenders and lawyers, members of non-governmental organizations engaged in advocacy and the students, scholars and faculty of law schools.Trade Review'A tireless and fearless human rights defender, personally acquainted with every aspect of the available UN and regional systems, let alone the American institutions, Professor Connie de la Vega gives here one more proof of her lifelong dedication to the cause. This wide-ranging guide to the international and regional organs and mechanisms, now so numerous as to form a maze difficult to penetrate, goes far beyond a description of their components. It teaches NGOs and other civil society actors how to make proper use of the different instances, bodies and procedures, with advice on how to choose and put to use those that may best serve one's endeavour. Clear knowledge of options available is, therefore, the first need to be fulfilled in order to avoid pitfalls and obstacles. This guide is certainly a most welcome contribution to all of those who still believe that universal human rights are now the only hope for social progress in a world where dominant politics seems determined to move backwards.' --José Lindgren-Alves, Member of the Advisory Committee to the UN Human Rights Council and former member of CERD, Brazil'International human rights and international criminal law procedures for upholding the rights of victims represent a great breakthrough in theory, but they are of limited utility unless they are accessible to, and can be used effectively by, the victims and civil society advocates. This book is an invaluable guide to the complexities of these procedures and how they can be used to bring real change.' --Philip Alston, New York University, School of Law, US and UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights'This is a wonderfully practical and straightforward guide for victims and those representing them on how to make international human rights bodies actually work. It explains in clear, accessible language how to get your issue or case before the UN, regional human rights bodies and the International Criminal Court, and what you can expect when you do so.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Toward a Prosecutor for the European Union Volume 1: A Comparative Analysis
Book SynopsisIn an era in which the EU's influence in criminal law matters has expanded rapidly, attention has recently turned to the possible creation of a European Public Prosecutor's Office. This two volume work presents the results of a study carried out by a group of European criminal law experts in 2010-2012, with the financial support of the EU Commission, whose aims were to examine in detail current public prosecution systems in the Member States and to scrutinise proposals for a new European office. Volume 1 begins with thorough descriptions of 20 different national legal systems of investigation and prosecution, addressing a range of evidential and procedural safeguards. These will serve as a point of reference for all future research on public prosecutors. Volume 1 also contains a series of cross-cutting studies of the key issues that will inform debates about the creation of a European Public Prosecutor's Office, including studies of vertical cooperation in administrative investigations in subsidy and competition cases, the accession of the EU to the ECHR, judicial control in cooperation in criminal matters, mutual recognition and decentralised enforcement of European competition law. Volume 2 (which will be published in 2013) presents a draft set of model rules for the procedure of the European Public Prosecutor's Office and continues with a set of comparative studies of the national legal systems that cover the gathering of evidence, seizure of assets, arrests, tracking and tracing, prosecution measures, procedural safeguards, the presumption of innocence and the right to silence, access to the file and victim reconciliation. Volume 2 concludes with the final report, written by Professor Ligeti, summarising the findings of the group and reporting on the prospects for the proposed reform.Table of ContentsI.

Clarus Press Ltd Probation and Parole in Ireland: Law and Practice
Book SynopsisDrawing on the authors’ extensive experience of working in the criminal justice and penal systems, this book presents a clear description and analysis of the stages and components of probation and parole work. Probation and parole are two vital components of any criminal justice system. Practitioners working in both are responsible for the assessment and supervision of those members of society who have committed criminal offences and are subject to court-ordered penal sanction. Those working in probation and parole must bring a range of knowledge and skills to bear in their daily work: championing community safety and justice, promoting offender reintegration, and seeking to reduce offending and the harm it causes. All of that practice is in turn underpinned by law. Professional practice in probation and parole is also increasingly informed by research findings regarding ‘what works’ and indeed ‘who works.'Table of Contents• Introduction • History of Probation and Parole in Ireland • Offender Assessment • Probation Work • Community Service • Restorative Justice and Victims • Parole • Conditional Release and Other Post-Release Supervision • Children and Young People • Electronic Monitoring • Other Issues and Challenges

Rutgers University Press Guilty People
Book SynopsisCriminal defense attorneys protect the innocent and guilty alike, but, the majority of criminal defendants are guilty. This is as it should be in a free society. Yet there are many different types of crime and degrees of guilt, and the defense must navigate through a complex criminal justice system that is not always equipped to recognize nuances. In Guilty People, law professor and longtime criminal defense attorney Abbe Smith gives us a thoughtful and honest look at guilty individuals on trial. Each chapter tells compelling stories about real cases she handled; some of her clients were guilty of only petty crimes and misdemeanors, while others committed offenses as grave as rape and murder. In the process, she answers the question that every defense attorney is routinely asked: How can you represent these people? Smith’s answer also tackles seldom-addressed but equally important questions such as: Who are the people filling our nation’s jails and prisons? Are they as dangerous and depraved as they are usually portrayed? How did they get caught up in the system? And what happens to them there? This book challenges the assumption that the guilty are a separate species, unworthy of humane treatment. It is dedicated to guilty people—every single one of us.Trade Review“Extraordinary, profoundly, moving…. I know of no other book that says as much about a defense lawyer’s motivations, self-doubt, frustrations. I finished it with tears in my eyes.” -- Anthony Lewis * on Case of a Lifetime *“A captivating, emotionally intense investigation of the complicated relationship between truth and the justice system.” -- Kirkus Review * on Case of a Lifetime *“A substantial work…. Smith examines a range of complex issues with insight and wit… In the end, the book transcends lawyers and clients, guilt and innocence, crime and punishment. It is a testament to what can happen when one person reaches out to another in need.” -- Sister Helen Prejean * on Case of a Lifetime *"In discussing her individual clients’ circumstances, Smith transmits a simple message that seeing ourselves, or parts of ourselves, in people who commit crime may be the first step to exacting change in our justice systems. If that be her primary objective, Guilty People meets the mark." * Law 360 *"In her instructive descriptions of her defense work with petty criminals, ordinary felons, rapists, and murderers, Smith actively engages with thematic characteristics of the American system of crime and punishment." * The ICAA Journal *"Inspiring and motivational, Guilty People is unique in poignantly capturing the frailties of the law and of humans, and doing so with hope and optimism. Recommended." * Choice *"Guilty People takes the ordinary and doe the careful, thoughtful, deeply human work of making it extraordinary." * The Champion *"Smith movingly details how she has worked with clients to get them the help they need and followed up with them in hopes that they will succeed. Through her compassionate advocacy, Smith exemplifies how an effective defense lawyer’s role is premised on recognizing the basic human dignity of her clients....Guilty People...provides a bold lens through which to view criminal justice work." * Clause 40 Foundation Blog *Table of ContentsContents Introduction 1 Petty Criminals 2 Ordinary Felons 3 Rapists 4 Murderers 5 Guilty Clients, Guilty Lawyers Index

Rutgers University Press Shattered Justice: Crime Victims' Experiences
Book SynopsisShattered Justice presents original crime victims' experiences with violent crime, investigations and trials, and later exonerations in their cases. Using in-depth interviews with 21 crime victims across the United States, Cook reveals how homicide victims’ family members and rape survivors describe the painful impact of the primary trauma, the secondary trauma of the investigations and trials, and then the tertiary trauma associated with wrongful convictions and exonerations. Important lessons and analyses are shared related to grief and loss, and healing and repair. Using restorative justice practices to develop and deliver healing retreats for survivors also expands the practice of restorative justice. Finally, policy reforms aimed at preventing, mitigating, and repairing the harms of wrongful convictions is covered.Trade Review"A leading expert on wrongful conviction turns her attention to the original crime victims, who frequently receive little more than a fleeting mention following the outcome of these cases. Cook provides insights into their anguish as they try to make sense of what happened, and their struggles with trauma caused by the wrongful conviction and its aftermath. This is one of those rare books that will be a must read for academics, restorative justice practitioners, and policy makers—indeed it is a book for everyone who cares about the state of justice in this country and its victims." — Jayne Mooney, John Jay College of Criminal Justice “With this book, Cook gives voice to the original crime victims of wrongful convictions and their family members whose experiences of surviving trauma and re-traumatization are very seldom heard. Cook puts her skills as a qualitative researcher, a feminist criminologist, and a restorative justice expert, to excellent use.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Gläubigerschädigung
Book SynopsisDie Verletzung schuldrechtlicher Verpflichtungen, insbesondere die Nichterfüllung von Verträgen, ist nach heutigem Verständnis grundsätzlich kein strafwürdiges Unrecht. Ein "Schuldnerstrafrecht" gab und gibt es freilich dennoch. Sein Terrain beschränkt sich auch keineswegs auf das Arbeits- und Insolvenzstrafrecht, sondern reicht möglicherweise noch weiter - von der Verletzung der Unterhaltspflicht über das unerlaubte Entfernen vom Unfallort bis hin zum Betrug. Auf der Grundlage einer Normentheorie, die subjektive Gläubigerrechte und Straftatbestände unmittelbar miteinander verknüpft, untersucht Andreas Popp die Erfassung gläubigerschädigenden Verhaltens durch das deutsche Strafrecht seit dem RStGB 1871 und die dogmatischen und rechtstheoretischen Problemstellungen, die sich damit verbinden.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Organtransplantation und
Book SynopsisDas deutsche Recht kennt fürsorglich gemeinte Verbote, die den Bürger davor schützen sollen, sich selbst zu schädigen. In diesem Geiste agierend lässt sich der deutsche Gesetzgeber im Recht der Organtransplantation selbst von der dramatischen Organknappheit nicht abhalten, vollverantwortlichen Akteuren enge Grenzen für gesundheits- und lebensrettende Organspenden zu ziehen und Überschreitungen dieser Grenzen - auch wenn mit bester Absicht begangen - sogar zu bestrafen. Jörg Scheinfeld hinterfragt die Berechtigung dieser Strafnormen: de lege lata auf den Ebenen des Straf- und Verfassungsrechts sowie de lege ferenda auf dem Feld der Rechtsethik. Bezogen auf die Spende von Organen im engeren Sinn macht Jörg Scheinfeld die mit dem geltenden Strafrechtspaternalismus verfolgten Zwecke sichtbar und misst sie an den grundlegenden Prinzipien des Strafrechts.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Verhaltensnorm und Kollisionsrecht: Eine Studie
Book SynopsisDer zunehmenden Bedeutung der grenzüberschreitenden Korruptionsbekämpfung hat der deutsche Gesetzgeber durch eine beträchtliche Ausweitung strafrechtlicher Sanktionsdrohungen Rechnung getragen. In zivilrechtlicher Hinsicht sind indes allein die diesen normtheoretisch vorgelagerten Verhaltensnormen ‒ insbesondere als "gesetzliche Verbote" ‒ von Bedeutung. Unter konsequenter Beachtung der Einheit der Rechtsordnung untersucht Christian Kalin das komplexe Zusammenspiel in- und ausländischer korruptionsbezogener Verhaltensnormen sowohl im privatrechtlichen wie auch im strafrechtlichen Kontext. Dabei entwickelt er ein normtheoretisch begründetes, differenziertes kollisionsrechtliches Anknüpfungssystem, welches neben der Heranziehung von Verhaltensnormen als gesetzliche Verbote auch eine abgeschwächte Beachtung ausländischer Verhaltensnormen innerhalb eines kollisionsrechtlichen Subsystems zu erklären vermag und so ein neues Licht auf die traditionelle Problematik der Eingriffsnormen wirft.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Rechtsgüter und Verhältnismäßigkeit im Strafrecht
Book SynopsisDie oft als Kavaliersdelikte verharmlosten Verstöße gegen Rechte des geistigen Eigentums haben sich in jüngster Zeit zu einem immer größeren, wirtschaftlich höchst relevanten Problem entwickelt. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht Sabrina Pfaffinger der Frage nach, wie die Glaubwürdigkeit und Akzeptanz sowie die Durchschlagskraft der Straftatbestände des Marken-, Patent- und Urheberrechts gesteigert werden können. Dabei knüpft die Autorin im Wesentlichen an zwei Gesichtspunkte an: Zunächst werden die geschützten Rechtsgüter ermittelt, um ein Fundament für eine glaubwürdige und nachvollziehbare Legitimation der strafrechtlichen Sanktionsmechanismen zu schaffen. Sodann wird vor dem Hintergrund des im Bereich des geistigen Eigentums bestehenden Gleichlaufs von Straf- und Zivilrecht sowie der damit einhergehenden Weite des Strafbarkeitsbereichs die Notwendigkeit der Einführung einer Erheblichkeitsschwelle diskutiert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Kriminalpräventionsrecht: Eine
Book SynopsisDas Recht der polizeilichen Kriminalprävention befindet sich in einer Regelungskrise. Einerseits soll die Polizei immer weitergehende Präventionsbedürfnisse befriedigen: Sie soll komplexe kriminelle Strukturen des Terrorismus und der organisierten Kriminalität eindämmen. Zudem soll sie gesellschaftliche Funktionszusammenhänge wie den öffentlichen Raum mitgestalten, um Straftaten dort bereits im Keim zu ersticken. Hierzu soll sich die Polizei an Handlungskonzepten orientieren, welche über die herkömmlichen Muster hoheitlicher Sicherheitsgewähr erheblich hinausgehen. Andererseits ist bisher weitgehend ungeklärt, wie sich diese erweiterte Präventionstätigkeit wirksam regulieren lässt. Dieses konzeptionelle Defizit führt fast zwangsläufig zu mangelhaften Regelungen, die vielfach verfassungsrechtliche Anforderungen verfehlen.Matthias Bäcker arbeitet die erweiterten kriminalpräventiven Handlungskonzepte der Polizei heraus und untersucht, wie diese Handlungskonzepte rechtlich ermöglicht und zugleich so begrenzt werden können, dass die Grundrechte der Betroffenen gewahrt bleiben. Dazu zeigt er materiellrechtliche und verfahrensrechtliche Erweiterungsansätze im Strafrecht, im Polizeirecht und im Strafverfahrensrecht auf. In einer Gesamtschau ordnet er diese Erweiterungsansätze und Regime einander zu und stellt so die Grundlagen eines leistungsfähigen Kriminalpräventionsrechts bereit.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Preis der Deutschen Hochschule der Polizei 2016 ausgezeichnet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Carl Joseph Anton Mittermaier und der reformierte
Book SynopsisCarl Joseph Anton Mittermaier (1787-1867) hat das Strafprozessrecht und seine Entwicklung zwischen 1809 und 1866 in zahllosen Beiträgen behandelt. Sie decken den gesamten Zeitraum ab, der für die Entstehung des reformierten Strafprozesses relevant ist und erfassen den Strafprozess in all seinen Details. Mittermaier maß der "Erfahrung" und den neuen Disziplinen der Gerichtsmedizin, Strafrechtsvergleichung, Kriminalpolitik und Gefängniskunde weitaus größere Bedeutung zu als der vormaligen strafrechtlichen Leitwissenschaft, der Philosophie. Unbestritten ist die Rolle, die Mittermaier als Vermittler von Kenntnissen über das für den Reformprozess als Regelungsmuster bedeutsame ausländische (Strafprozess-)Recht wahrgenommen hat. Seine Bedeutung als Strafprozessrechtsdogmatiker wird dagegen durchaus kritisch gesehen. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes gehen der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit die strafprozessualen Arbeiten Mittermaiers aus heutiger Sicht bleibenden Stellenwert haben.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Korruption - Demokratie - Strafrecht: Ein
Book SynopsisKorruption stellt eine Form der Machtausübung dar, die nicht nur in ökonomischer Hinsicht bedrohlich ist. Sie birgt auch ganz unmittelbare Risiken für demokratische Prozesse und Institutionen. Mit dem vorliegenden Band soll das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Korruption, Demokratie und Strafrecht aus der Perspektive von Brasilien und Deutschland beleuchtet werden - zweier Länder, die auf den ersten Blick vor unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen zu stehen scheinen. Während Korruption in Brasilien als ubiquitäres Problem der Eliten wahrgenommen wird, ist das Phänomen in Deutschland weniger sichtbar. Dieser Umstand darf aber, wie die hier veröffentlichen Beiträge belegen, nicht zu der Fehlvorstellung verleiten, dass Deutschland eine Vorbildfunktion zukäme.
