Springer Nature Switzerland AG Banishment in the Late Medieval Eastern
Book SynopsisThis open access book analyses the practice of banishment and what it can tell us about the values of late medieval society concerning morally acceptable behaviour. It focuses on the Dutch town of Kampen and considers the exclusion of offenders through banishment and the redemption of individuals after their exile. Banishment was a common punishment in late medieval Europe, especially for sexual offences. In Kampen it was also meted out as a consequence of the non-payment of fines, after which people could arrange repayment schemes which allowed them to return. The books firstly considers the legal context of the practice of banishment, before discussing punishment in Kampen more generally. In the third chapter the legal practice of banishment as a punitive and coercive measure is discussed. The final chapter focuses on the redemption of exiles, either because their punishment was completed, or because they arranged for the payment of outstanding fines.Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

De Gruyter Die Entschädigung der Freimaurerlogen nach 1945 und nach 1989
Book SynopsisDer Verfasser zeigt in seiner Arbeit auf, weshalb und wie Freimaurerlogen während der NS-Zeit verfolgt wurden und wie sie ihre Vermögenswerte verloren haben. Für alle Besatzungszonen in Deutschland wird dargestellt, wie sich die Wiedergutmachung für die Freimaurerlogen nach der NS-Zeit völkerrechtlich entwickelte. In den westlichen Besatzungszonen und in der jungen Bundesrepublik Deutschland haben die Freimaurerlogen, anders als in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone und DDR, eine Wiedergutmachung erfahren. Dr. Lars C. Barnewitz aus Hamburg ist Rechtsanwalt und Fachanwalt fur Strafrecht in Düsseldorf. Mit seinem Vater hat er die Idee der Dresdner Freimaurerstiftung gehabt und das Entschädigungsverfahren in Gang gebracht.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 150 Jahre Gesetzgebung in Deutschland: Entwicklungen des Gesetzgebungsverfahrens von der konstitutionellen Monarchie 1871 bis zur parlamentarischen Demokratie 2021
Book SynopsisDieses Buch erläutert die verfassungsmäßige Ausgestaltung der Gesetzgebungsverfahren im Kaiserreich, in der Weimarer Republik und in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland im Zusammenhang. Dadurch wird nachvollziehbar, dass die Gesetzgebung der heutigen parlamentarischen Demokratie ihre Basis bereits in der konstitutionellen Monarchie des Deutschen Kaiserreichs vor 150 Jahren hat. Obwohl das Verfahren der Gesetzgebung im Kaiserreich vordemokratisch ausgestaltet war, sind ihre wesentlichen Merkmale bis heute unverändert. Welche Änderungen die Gesetzgebungsverfahren von Verfassung zu Verfassung im Einzelnen erfuhren, analysiert das Buch und stellt heraus, dass diese Änderungen vor allem das Bund-Länder-Verhältnis, die Volkssouveränität sowie den Einfluss der Grundrechte auf die Gesetzgebung betrafen. Dabei kommen auch Auffassungen der Staatsrechtslehre früherer Zeiten zur Rechtsstaatlichkeit zur Sprache, die immer noch zum derzeitigen Meinungsspektrum zählen, heute jedoch nicht mehr zu halten sind. Zudem dokumentiert das Buch, wer an den Gesetzgebungsverfahren offiziell und wer faktisch beteiligt war bzw. noch ist und welche politischen Einflussnahmen auf die Gesetzgebung im Lauf der Geschichte festzustellen sind. So wird u.a. dokumentiert, dass insbesondere der Mangel an Transparenz der Zusammenarbeit von Exekutive und Legislative mit Lobbyisten dazu führt, dass viele Gesetze einzelne Bevölkerungsgruppen oder Wirtschaftszweige bevorzugen.Table of Contents1.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo The Realisation of Concession in the Discoure of
Book SynopsisComplementing other studies on judicial discourse, this book investigates previously unexplored areas, focusing on the realisation of Concession in the genre of judgment. In addition to providing a review of approaches to concessivity as well as legal and linguistic perspectives on argumentation, the analysis draws on genre studies and follows a genre-based view of legal language. It shows the way in which the Concessive relation is deployed by last-instance courts, as revealed by an examination of EU and Polish judgments. In what constitues a pioneering attempt to identify tripartite Concessive patterns in written data, the author breaks away from the traditional view of written legal discourse seen as static and monologic communication. Instead, she offers insights into the linguistic construction of judicial argumentation, seen as a "mute dialogue" with the addressee, highlighting recurrent argumentative schemata and related discourse signals and functions. Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the analysis demonstrates that the dialogic model of Concession, designed as a tool for an examination of talk-in-interaction, can be successfully applied in an investigation of written data. The book is aimed at students and researchers with interests in legal discourse, genre analysis and argumentation studies.Trade ReviewThe analysis deserves recognition given the amount of data collected, the manner in which the findings are presented, the overall clarity and the reliability of description. All the previously developed analytical categories are justified here and the model of description presented in the introductory part of the chapter is applied flawlessly. The data collected and the comprehensive discussion allow the author to confirm new regularities in the realisation of the Concessive relation and to formulate claims regarding the realisation of the said relation in two Indo-European languages. The description of the data is sufficient, while the number and variety of examples as well as the manner in which they were selected makes the reader appreciate the author as an experienced discourse analyst. -- Andrzej Lyda, University of Silesia

City University of Hong Kong Press More When I Know You Better: The Life of Albert
Book SynopsisFocusing on Albert Sanguinetti from his early life to his retirement from the legal sector, including his tenures in Gibraltar, Kenya, and Hong Kong, this biography provides an in-depth view of the life of a prominent figure in the legal field in the late twentieth century. It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti's life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti's eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti's common response to questions about both his personal and professional life — "more when I know you better". It will undoubtedly be of interest to those who knew Sanguinetti as well as legal professionals, young barristers, and readers with an interest in post-war history in Gibraltar, Kenya, and especially Hong Kong.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Childhood on the RockChapter 2 Scattered by WarChapter 3 London CallingChapter 4 A Different Kind of ColonyChapter 5 Home to Higher OfficeChapter 6 Hong Kong: On the BenchChapter 7 To the BarChapter 8 Riot and ReformChapter 9 Hard Work and High PointsChapter 10 Two ReportsChapter 11 The Golden YearsChapter 12 Retirement

Oxford University Press Saving Nelson Mandela
Book SynopsisWhen South Africa''s apartheid government charged Nelson Mandela with planning its overthrow in 1963, most observers feared that he would be sentenced to death. But the support he and his fellow activists in the African National Congress received during his trial not only saved his life, but also enabled him to save his country. In Saving Nelson Mandela, South African law expert Kenneth S. Broun recreates the trial--called the Rivonia Trial after the Johannesburg suburb where police seized Mandela. Based upon interviews with many of the case''s primary figures and portions of the trial transcript, Broun situates readers inside the courtroom at the imposing Palace of Justice in Pretoria. Here, the trial unfolds through a dramatic narrative that captures the courage of the accused and their defense team, as well as the personal prejudices that colored the entire trial. The Rivonia trial had no jury and only a superficial aura of due process, combined with heavy security that symbolized Trade ReviewFascinating account, full of fresh, eye-opening material * Sunday Times {Culture} *[a] meticulous reconstruction * Stephen Robinson, The Sunday Times {Culture} *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Historical Criminology
Book SynopsisThis book sets an agenda for the development of historical approaches to criminology. It defines historical criminology', explores its characteristic strengths and limitations, and considers its potential to enhance, revise and fundamentally challenge dominant modes of thinking about crime and social responses to crime. It considers the following questions: What is historical criminology? What does thinking historically about crime and justice entail? How is historical criminology currently practised? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to historical criminology? How can historical criminology reshape understandings of crime and social responses to crime? How does thinking historically bear upon major theoretical, conceptual and methodological questions in criminological research? What does thinking historically have to offer criminological scholarship more brTrade ReviewWhat does it mean to do ‘historical criminology’? To put time – and therefore change, events, flows and durations – at the centre of criminological inquiry? What are the exemplary texts that have pursued that approach? And how does that enterprise fit into the larger disciplines of ‘criminology’ and ‘history’? These questions motivate this lively, engaging, important new book: the first to organize and reflect upon a field of research that is as diverse as it is interesting. ---David Garland, New York University The past is a foreign country, and this book is a perfect companion to navigate its unknown terrain, avoid data minefields and find the treasures awaiting the criminologist. Historical Criminology invites us to cross borders between the past, present and the future. The authors present a novel approach to connecting the past and present of crime and justice, which will have a decisive impact on the field. A book for all criminologists who know that the past never lasts but the future is forever. ---Susanne Karstedt, Griffith University Historical Criminology demands criminologists of all persuasions ask themselves: what do they mean when they talk of the past, present, and future? Its aim is to decentre the presentism that so hampers criminological thinking. It does this extremely well. To be clear: Historical Criminology is not setting out another subfield of criminology. This book asks us all to reflect upon how we think about the process of time and in so doing will be essential reading for anyone claiming to be thinking criminologically. ---Sandra Walklate, University of Liverpool & Monash University 'What does it mean to do "historical criminology"?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Delinquency and Drift Revisited Volume 21
Book SynopsisFifty years ago, David Matza wrote Delinquency and Drift, challenging the ways people thought about the development of criminals. Today, Delinquency and Drift Revisited reminds criminologists that they ignore Matzaâs writings at their own intellectual peril. Matzaâs work shows his insights on a range of core criminological issues, such as: the complex nature of culture and its connection to criminality; the extent to which rule-breakers are truly different from the rest of us; the importance of focusing on human agency in understanding the subjective side of offending; the interaction of propensity and peer influences in criminal involvement; the role of the state in signifying individuals as deviant and entrapping them in criminal roles; and the processes that lead offenders to desist from crime. This volume was not written to pay homage to Matza, but to show how his ideas remain relevant to criminology today by continuing to question conventional wisdomTrade ReviewLittle did I expect in 1964 that Delinquency and Drift would remain an important work more than half a century later. It is heartening that the ideas expressed continue to have relevance for today's study of crime and delinquency. I enjoyed reading the volume, and I hope others will as well. —David Matza, Professor Emeritus, University of California, BerkeleyFor those unfamiliar with David Matza’s work, this thoughtful collection serves as an essential introduction. For those who know his work—or think they do—it serves as a reminder of how important Matza’s contribution has been. This is a timely and welcome exploration of the work of one of the most enduring criminologists of our time. —Elliot Currie, Professor, University of California, IrvineThe aptly titled volume Delinquency and Drift Revisited: The Criminology of David Matza and Beyond is a remarkable tribute to the importance of the work of David Matza to both the development and future of the conceptualization of deviance and crime. While many festschrifts glorify the past and emphasize the contributions of a scholar’s work to the present, the essays in this volume provide a framework for innovative future research in diverse areas based on Matza’s insights.—Marvin Krohn, Professor, University of Florida Table of ContentsContentsPrefacePart I.
