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 Ltd Islamic Feminisms
Book SynopsisThis book explores the contentious topic of women's rights in Muslim-majority countries, with a specific focus on Iran and the Iranian women's movement from 1906 to the present. The work contextualizes the authorial self through the use of personal narrative and interviews. A new critique of Islamic law is produced through an in-depth study of the Iranian Constitution, civil and criminal codes. The work presents a novel reconceptualization of the term Islamic feminism by revisiting the arguments of various scholars and through analysis of interviews with Iranian women's rights activists. It is contended that the feminist movements can play a critical role in Islamic law reform and consequently the eventual implementation of international human rights law in Muslim-majority countries. What emerges from this study is not only a feminist critique of two major regimes of law, but also the identification of possibilities for reform in the future. The study transitions from the Iranian naTrade ReviewThis book is an important contribution to the study of Iranian women’s struggle for legal equality since the early twentieth century. With a fascinating personal account of the aftermath of the 1979 revolution that brought clerics to power, Fazaeli chronicles the coming of age of an indigenous feminism that has challenged the official interpretation of ‘Shari‘a’. Ziba Mir-Hosseini, SOAS University of London A child of revolution and a martyr’s daughter, Fazaeli situates herself in the ongoing resilient political activism of Iranian women in their pursuit of legal and political equality, despite the relentless state obstruction and harassment. She has written a highly engaging, intelligent and readable book. I recommend this book enthusiastically. Shahla Haeri, Associate Professor, Boston University.At a time when the discourse on Islam and women's rights is increasingly characterized by polemics and one-dimensional debates that generate more heat than light, Roja Fazaeli's fascinating study offers a measured, nuanced, and lucid account of the complex interrelationship between the forces that shape the struggle for gender equality in Iran and the wider Islamic world. By focusing on the critical role that feminist movements can play in pushing for domestic legal reforms that will pave the path towards the full realization of human rights, Islamic Feminisms is a much needed reminder that the ultimate agents of change in that struggle are Muslim women themselves.--- Ahmed Shaheed, United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran (2011-2016) & on Freedom of Religion or Belief (2016-).This book is an important contribution to the study of Iranian women’s struggle for legal equality since the early twentieth century.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Religious Laws
Book SynopsisMuch has been written on specific religious legal systems, yet substantial comparative studies that strive to compare systems, identifying their analogies and differences, have been relatively few. This absence undermines the capacity to understand religions and becomes particularly serious when the faithful of these religions live together in the same geographical space, as happens today with increasing frequency. Both interreligious dialogue and dialogue between States and religions presuppose a set of data and information that only comparative research can provide.This book seeks to address this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Hindu laws and traditions. Divided into five parts, the first part of the book offers the historical background for the legal analysis that is developed in the subsequent parts. Part II deals with the sources of law in the four religions under discussion. Part III addresses the dynamicTrade Review"Those interested in diversifying perspectives on the foundations of the law in research or in teaching will find this handbook a fantastic resource." - Mariëtta D.

Cambridge University Press Roman Provincial and Islamic Law The Origins of the Islamic Patronate
Book SynopsisThis book examines the cultural origins of Islamic law. Some authorities stress the importance of the contribution of Roman law; others that of Arabian law. Most are agreed that Jewish law contributed, but not explained further. Dr Crone tests the Roman hypothesis with reference to one institution, the patronate, which does indeed appear to owe something to Roman law. He concludes that Roman law contributed only in so far as it was part and parcel of the rather different legal practice of the Near Eastern provinces, and that provincial law would repay further consideration by legal historians.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. The state of the field; 2. A practical guide to the study of Islamic law; 3. The Islamic patronate; 4. The case against Arabia; 5. The case against the non-Roman Near East: paramone; 6. The case for the Roman Near East; 7. Conclusion; Appendices; Notes; Index.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Living Islam: Women, Religion and the
Book SynopsisHow and why have women come to play a central role in the political project of Islamic revivalism and in the power struggles between Islamic and secular forces in Turkey? Ayse Saktanber rejects approaches to this issue that ask what Islam means for the position of women or see Muslim women as the 'reverse' or the 'dark' side of modernity. She examines the experiences of women for whom the discourse of modernity has no relevance and looks at the ways in which they have become crucial agents in the effort to make Islam a living social practice in a secular order. Full of fascinating accounts of the lives of Islamist women, this study is essential for anyone interested in the contemporary Muslim world.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Blasphemie: Anspruch und Widerstreit in
Book SynopsisSeit zwei Jahrzehnten lässt sich eine irritierende Wiederkehr des Blasphemievorwurfs beobachten. Man denke etwa an den dänischen Karikaturenstreit oder den Terroranschlag auf Charlie Hebdo 2015 in Paris. Die entsprechenden politischen und juristischen Debatten betreffen gegenwärtig insbesondere Blasphemieparagraphen in den Rechtsordnungen. Doch das Phänomen der Blasphemie ist facettenreicher, als es dabei oft wahrgenommen wird. Denn "Blasphemie" ist kein objektiv vorliegender Tatbestand, sondern entspricht einem komplexen Deutungsmuster, das religionsspezifisch und interreligiös unterschiedliche Ausprägungen erfahren hat. Der vorliegende Sammelband reflektiert das Phänomen der Blasphemie in Geschichte und Gegenwart in einem multiperspektivischen Zugang. Die Thematik wird sowohl im Kontext von Judentum, Christentum, Islam, Hinduismus, Buddhismus als auch im Kontext von Jurisprudenz und Kunst aus der Sicht verschiedener Wissenschaftsdisziplinen analysiert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Sister Reformations III - Schwesterreformationen
Book SynopsisGegenstand des zweisprachigen Bandes sind die Prozesse, in denen in Deutschland und auf den britischen Inseln aus der reformatorischen Bewegung Institutionen, von der Reformation geprägte Kirchen wurden, sowie die dabei wirksamen Faktoren. Nach einem Überblick über die englische und die schottische Reformationsgeschichte werden die Entwicklung der Predigt, des Singens, der Liturgie und ihres Raumes, der Familie, der Geschlechterrollen und des Rechts, die Herausbildung eines neuen Pfarrer- und Gemeindetyps sowie der Umgang mit religiösen Abweichlern behandelt, und dies in einem vergleichenden, die Vorgänge auf beiden Seiten des Kanals zueinander in Beziehung setzenden Zugriff. Abschließend kommen die theologischen und religiösen Deutungen in den Blick, die die an der Reformation Beteiligten selbst diesem Einschnitt in der Kirchengeschichte gaben. Mit Beiträgen von:Albrecht Beutel, Amy Burnett, Euan Cameron, Geoffrey Dipple, Susan Karant-Nunn, Thomas Kaufmann, Konrad Klek, John McCallum, Ashley Null, Martin Ohst, Wolf-Dietrich Schäufele, Andrew Spicer, Andreas Stegmann, Christopher Voigt-Goy, Alex Walsham, Kristen Walton, Dorothea Wendebourg

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Entdeckung der Menschenwürde in der
Book SynopsisLydia Lauxmann klärt in dieser Studie, wie Begriff und Vorstellungsgehalt der Menschenwürde innerhalb der Theologie des 20. Jahrhunderts rezipiert wurden. Während die Menschenwürde heute selbstverständlicher Teil theologisch-ethischer Debatten ist, wurde sie noch in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts als "Blasphemie" und "Götzendienst" abgelehnt.Die Autorin zeigt auf, wie es von der Ablehnung der Menschenwürde zu ihrer selbstverständlichen Verbreitung kam. Sie zeichnet den Weg der Menschenwürde in die Theologie in den Debatten um Recht und Gerechtigkeit, in den Menschenrechtsdebatten und in den Bioethikdebatten der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts nach und leistet damit einen Beitrag zum Verständnis theologischer und kirchlicher Debattenkultur, der Menschenwürdefigur und des Protestantismus in der Gesellschaft.
