The article aims to analyze political crime in Colombia during the civil war of the nineteenth century. Once the confrontations had reached an end, the losers were tried in order to establish the degree of responsibility and the type of crime committed: political or common. In these trials, the controversy not only revolved around the criminal behavior, but in the context of the revolution. It is this last point that this article seeks to discuss. Which were the controversies that defined the participation in the revolution as a political or common crime. The work is framed within the history of the law, and for this purpose we analysed the trial of general president Jose Maria Obando, who was accused of treason and rebellion for his supposed collaboration to the Revolution of 1853, forged by the General José María Melo. Therefore, rather than a debate of dogmatic nature, it is a study from the social history of the law and the construction of the crime from the political and social senses and interests. ; El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la construcción del delito político en las guerras civiles en Colombia durante el siglo XIX. Al terminar la confrontación, los perdedores se sometían a juicios en los cuales se buscaba establecer el grado de responsabilidad y el tipo de delito que cometió: político o común. En estos juicios, la controversia no solo giraba en torno a la tipificación del delito, también se discutía el delito desde el significado de la revolución, por parte del acusado y declarantes. Este artículo busca debatir este último punto. Cuál o cuáles eran las controversias que se enunciaban para definir si participar en una revolución era un delito político o común. El trabajo se enmarca dentro de la historia del derecho; para ello se analizó el documento del juicio al presidente general José María Obando, quien fue acusado de traición y rebelión por su supuesta participación y/o colaboración con la Revolución de 1853, fraguada por el general José María Melo. Por tanto, más que un debate de naturaleza dogmática, es un estudio desde la historia social del derecho y la construcción del delito, desde sentidos e intereses políticos y sociales.

Islamic boarding schools must be a safe and friendly place for students and female students. Pesantren educational institutions must be perpendicular to the objectives of the establishment of the pesantren, among others, teaching the values of Islamic teachings in order to improve and make society much better.

In the early days of social media, social networking platforms were viewed as an abolition of all barriers, a democratization of information and content creation against the establishment's gate-keeping. However, a decade after their wide adoption by the public, the scenario seems completelydifferent: now that social networks have been used to meddle with international politics, to spread hate and conspiracy theories and to harass others, many wonder whether the hopes behind the democratization of online content creation were too optimistic. Using two different episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)—Season Seven's "Chosen" and Season Three's "Gingerbread"—as a starting point, this article will showcase the imagined and one of the real outcomes of the democratization of social media content creation with regards to the discussion of high-profile criminal cases online, with a particular focus on crimes against children and related conspiracies.

With few exceptions, and these not well defined and gross, has been passed in writing and in public opinion and among historians, that Bishop Nicholas Videla del Pino committed a crime against the state or high treason, being realistic feelings and actively collaborate with the political cause. This article documents that was, above all, a good pastor without discriminating against those who were in each of the two sides. ; Con escasas excepciones, y estas no bien definidas y manifiestas, se ha ido transmitiendo por escrito y en la opinión pública, y entre historiadores, que Mons. Nicolás Videla del Pino cometió delito de lesa patria o de alta traición, por ser de sentimientos realistas y colaborar activamente con esta causa política. Este artículo documenta que fue, ante todo, un celoso pastor sin discriminar a quienes estaban en cada uno de los dos bandos.

The recent break in the transatlantic relationship appears to have altered American debate, & removed Iran as the dominating theme. The secret torture of terror suspects delivered to other countries is today considered a failure by those responsible, even with the aim of hindering future attacks & despite the previous legal efforts to establish a gray area outside the Geneva conventions. Iraq remains the most significant issue in American discussion, particularly after the elections, & much of the debate is centered on the establishment of democracy, its form, & the role of US troops in hindering or aiding further progress. In Spring, the first proceedings against "Chemical Ali" begin for crimes against humanity. Hania Mufti, for years unheard despite her documentation of gruesome human rights violations during the Saddam Hussein era & returning to Iraq in 2000, played a critical role in gathering documentation for such proceedings.

To test the theory that sexual offenders who abuse very young children (0-5 years) have more severe mental health and psychosocial problems than those who victimize older children, authors compared psychiatric diagnoses, social circumstances, and crime-related data in all sexual offenders against minors referred to forensic psychiatric investigation in Sweden during a 5-year period. Thirty-one men had committed index crimes involving victims between the ages of 0 and 5 years (Group 1), 90 had 6-to 11-year-old victims (Group 2), and 41 had 12- to 15-year-old victims (Group 3). All three offender groups were characterized by severe mental health problems, in many cases fulfilling American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.) criteria for both Axis I and Axis II diagnoses, but these problems did not differ between groups. Neither did social situation or sexual orientation. Offenders with 0- to 5-year-old victims significantly more often abused both boys and girls. Frequencies of retrospectively diagnosed childhood-onset behavior disorders were high in all three offender groups. The authors' data did not support previous findings of increasingly severe mental health problems with decreasing victim age.

In 1993, white American Fulbright scholar Amy Biehl was killed in a racially motivated attack near Cape Town after working to promote democracy and women's rights in South Africa. The ironic circumstances of her death generated enormous international publicity and yielded one of South Africa's most heralded stories of postapartheid reconciliation.

Bill introduced by the Texas House of Representatives relating to reimbursement for a certain portion of a forensic medical examination of a sexual assault survivor and for the evidence collection kit required for the examination.
