Taylor & Francis World Criminal Justice Systems
Book SynopsisThe revised tenth edition of this core textbook provides an understanding of major world criminal justice systems by discussing and comparing the systems of six of the worldâs countries - each representative of a different type of legal system. England, France, Japan, South Africa, Russia, and China are all covered in detail, and an additional chapter on Islamic law uses three example nations to illustrate the range of practice within Sharia. Political, historical, organizational, procedural, and critical issues confronting the justice systems are explained and analyzed. Neatly organized with a parallel structure throughout the text, each chapter contains material on government, police, judiciary, law, corrections, juvenile justice, and other critical issues.A new feature of this text focuses on the nature of the political world order and the significant clash between some democratic and authoritarian governments. Of particular concern are those authoritarian governments that have seen the rise of what has been popularly referred to as the strongman leader. The countries covered in this text have seen the emergence of four such strongmen. While the rise of each occurred in different contexts, they were each facilitated in significant ways by the manner in which they asserted their control over the countryâs criminal justice system.This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice, prelaw, and similar programs. A comprehensive test bank is available online.Trade Review"This book is a dynamic and well-established textbook from a giant contributor to the comparative criminal justice research and education field."Max Lowenstein, Bournemouth University"I find a country-based case study approach to be very helpful in teaching my Comparative Legal Systems course. There is really no other book on the market that offers this kind of approach" Donald C. Williams, Western New England University"I have used all the editions (1–9) of this book. I was first attracted to it by the introduction (which is unlike any other comparative CJ book), and the detailed discussion of each of the selected countries."Joseph Appiahene-Gyamfi, University of Texas Rio Grande ValleyTable of ContentsIntroduction England France Japan South Africa Russia China Islamic Law

Taylor & Francis War Criminals on Trial
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the practice of international criminal justice based on the experience of war criminals who have been tried for their crimes. Presenting the perspectives of those commonly referred to as âgenocidairesâ, âwar criminalsâ or âcriminals against humanityâ, this book presents their experience of international criminal justice, and its impact on them. By presenting their points of view and their feelings about justice, it becomes possible to describe the way in which this branch of justice is apprehended by the perpetrators of mass crimes, to produce testimony about the lived penal experience, and to analyse the functioning of this institution through a new prism: that of the persons standing trial. From this perspective, a new analysis of international justice is produced: one that reveals its aporias, as it demonstrates the difficulties international criminal justice faces insofar as the justifications that support it are not all confirmed, and as some of the expectations placed on it are shown to be difficult to reach, if not clearly unattainable. Based on over 60 interviews, carried out over a period of twelve years, with persons tried by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, this book offers a unique analysis of the working of international criminal justice. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to those with relevant interests in law, criminology, sociology and criminology.

Taylor & Francis Sexualised Crimes Armed Conflict and the Law
Book SynopsisFrom ancient to modern times, sexualised war violence against women was tolerated if not encouraged as a means of reward, propaganda, humiliation, and terror. This was and is in defiance of international laws that have criminalised acts of sexualised war violence since the 18th century. Ad hoc international tribunals have addressed especially war rape since the 15th century. The International Criminal Court (ICC), however, is the first independent, permanent, international criminal court that recognises not only war rape but also sexual slavery and other sexualised crimes as crimes against humanity, war crimes, and acts of genocide in its statute and supporting documents.This book explores how the ICC definitions of rape and forced marriage came about, and addresses the ongoing challenge of how to define war rape and forced marriage in times of armed conflict in a way that adequately reflects womenâs experiences, as well as the nature of the crimes. In addition to deepTable of Contents1. Introduction2. Theories and Methods3. Theories and Legislative Histories of War Wape and Forced Marriage4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Figuring Victims in International Criminal
Book SynopsisMost discourses on victims in international criminal justice take the subject of victims for granted, as an identity and category existing exogenously to the judicial process. This book takes a different approach. Through a close reading of the institutional practices of one particular court, it demonstrates how court practices produce the subjectivity of the victim, a subjectivity that is profoundly of law and endogenous to the enterprise of international criminal justice. Furthermore, by situating these figurations within the larger aspirations of the court, the book shows how victims have come to constitute and represent the link between international criminal law and the enterprise of transitional justice. The book takes as its primary example the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), or the Khmer Rouge Tribunal as it is also called. Focusing on the representation of victims in crimes against humanity, victim participation and photographic images, the book engTable of ContentsTable of Contents Preface Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction: The Victim’s Address Chapter One: The Establishment of a Court Chapter Two: The Khmer Rouge Marriages and the Victims of Crime Chapter Three: Becoming Participant: Victim Representations at Trial Chapter Four: Photographs and Outreach: Relating Victims to Images Conclusion: Moving Forward Through Justice Bibliography Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Science Reason and Religion
Book SynopsisPhilosophy matters. This is the message of this highly original inquiry into the relationship between science and religion. It is only when we examine the intellectual presuppositions on which science and religion are based, with regard to such fundamentals as truth, objectivity, and realism, that we perceive the link between these two enterprises which are essential to any characterization of man. The book offers a lucid and enlightening account of the main movements in the philosophy of science in the twentieth century, and then proceeds to demonstrate their consequences for philosophy of religion. After examining the wide and all-pervasive influence of positivism, and its offspring relativism, in both science and theology, he suggests that the attempt to provide an alternative, made by Karl Popper, offers the most satisfactory way forward in man's twofold enquiry in terms of his relationship with God and with the world.Trade ReviewReview of the original edition:‘Refreshingly free of jargon and unusually clear and well-structured in its argument…I recommend it to theology students (and graduates) and anyone else who has an interest in the problem of knowledge..’ British Book NewsTable of ContentsPreface Introduction 1.
