Racism is seen as inherent in the operation of GB's criminal justice system; recent reports have shown that a disproportionate number of blacks are stopped by police, arrested, prosecuted, & imprisoned. Some positive trends are noted, but the need to increase the black LF at every level of the system is emphasized. F. S. J. Ledgister

Narcotics crimes themselves areextraordinary crimes. Narcotics is one of the most common actions carried out by the community. Indeed, this type of violation does not harm others, but its actions have been regulated and stipulated in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics as a type of criminal act. Sanctions given to violators of this law are in the form of imprisonment, fines, death sentences, and even imprisonment and cumulative fines. In reality, none of the convicts of narcotics crimes have paid the fine, the convicts prefer not to pay the fine and replace the criminal fine with a substitute for a fine in the form of imprisonment. Based on this background, the problems studied in this study are the forms of crime in narcotics crimes based on Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and regarding the application of fines to narcotics crimes based on Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

The threat of anthropocentric environmental harm grows more pressing each year. Around the world, human activities are devastating the natural environment and contributing to potentially irreversible climate change. This book explores the ways in which the International Criminal Court may effectively prosecute those who cause or contribute to serious environmental destruction. Written by an international lawyer who has prosecuted cases of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, it provides insights into the procedures, laws, and techniques capable of leading to convictions against those who harm the environment.

This study examines the criminal arrest records of a Danish birth cohort of 28,884 men to test the hypothesis that specialization exists for violent offending. Property offending is included for comparison. Specialization in violence is found to exist for offenders with more than three arrests, and specialization in property offending, for offenders with fewer than four arrests. Knowledge of past violent offending is discussed as a potentially valuable part of the predictive equation of future violence.

Three hypotheses have been used to describe the male propensity for sexual aggression towards women: a general propensity to offend, a specific propensity to sexually offend and a combination of both. In this paper, using structural equation modeling, we compared the relative utility of these three hypotheses in explaining criminal activity in adulthood of sexual aggressors of women. In total, 209 adult males who were convicted of at least one sexual offence were included in the study. Results indicate that a propensity model emphasizing the role of an early and persistent general propensity to act in an antisocial manner during childhood and adolescence is most adequate to explain sexual aggressors' criminal activity. After controlling for the role of this propensity, a specific propensity characterized by high sexualization and deviant sexual interests explained only a modest proportion of variance of the sexual criminal activity.

Le donne palestinesi affrontano enormi sfide rispetto al godimento dei propri diritti, a causa di un sistema legale e culturale prevalente a livello regionale il quale permette la violazione dei diritti delle donne, incoraggia la violenza contro di loro, e le priva del diritto alla giustizia, specialmente in assenza di un sistema legislative nazionale omogeneo che possa proteggere i loro diritti. Ciò costituisce una rilevante contraddizione rispetto agli obblighi internazionali imposti dalla 'Convenzione sull'elimination di tutte le forme di discriminazione control le donne (CEDAW), di cui la Palestina è firmataria. Pertanto, questa ricerca mira a identificare le carenze, a livello penale e procedurale, rispetto alla protezione dei diritti delle donne e alla violenza che subiscono. La tesi prende in considerazione mezzi di emancipazione politica ed economica per le donne basandosi sui meccanismi internazionali di protezione delle donne dalla violenza. Infine, la presenti tesi si pone l'obiettivo di evidenziare come l'armonizzazione della legislazione palestinese con questi meccanismi sia possible e di vitale importanza. L'obiettivo finale di questa tesi è di promuovere lo status delle donne palestinesi, la giustizia, e l'uguaglianza. Il primo capitolo prende in considerazione la protezione giuridica del 'diritto alla vita, all'integrità fisica, e alla libertà sessuale'. Il capitolo analizza le disposizioni normative che proteggono questo diritto e mostra le carenze del sistema giuridico nel proteggere le donne contro le discriminazioni ed, in particolare, control la violenza contro le donne, come richiesto dalle convenzioni internazionali sui diritti umani. Il secondo capitolo analizza gli ostacoli e le sfide giuridiche che limitano la capacità delle donne vittime di violenza di avere accesso alla giustizia e al sistema giuridico. Ciò viene approfondito attraverso un esame di pratiche guridiche negative come la detenzione amministrativa in 'luoghi sicuri', e le restrizioni giuridiche legate alla denuncia. Inoltre, questo capitolo analizza il sistema giuridico rispetto al problema della violenza contro le donne, il modo in cui affrontano casi di donne vittime di violenza, e la loro adesione alle leggi internazionali sui diritti umani. Le misure per il rafforzamento e la protezione giuridica dei diritti delle donne vittime di violenza sono discusse nel terzo ed ultimo capitolo. Questo tema viene analizzato attraverso l'adozione di mecchanismi per l'emancipazione giuridica delle donne al fine di creare un'armonia tra le leggi nazionali e gli standard internazionali sui diritti umani e la CEDAW. Il capitol la possibilità e gli ostacoli nell adottare un'apposita legge volta a contrastare la violenza contro le donne, tanto quanto le modalità di risarcimento per le vittime. La tesi non trascura altri aspetti dell'emancipazione femminile. In particolare, la ricerca analizza l'emancipazione politica delle donne attraverso la loro partecipazione al voto, tanto quanto alla loro partecipazione attiva in politica e al processo decisionale. Inoltre, l'emancipazione economica delle donne si ottiene garantendo loro il diritto all'eredità, al lavoro, e ai fondi comuni sulla base della parità con gli uomini, in modo tale da fornire alle donne le armi necessarie per affrontare ed eliminare la violenza. ; Abstract Palestinian women face enormous challenges in terms of enjoying and exercising human rights, as a result of the legal and cultural heritage prevailing in the region that permits the violation of women's rights, encourages violence against them, and deprives them of their right to access justice, especially in the absence of a homogeneous national legislative system that protects the rights of women as human rights. This constitutes a fundamental contradiction to the international obligations imposed on Palestine as a state party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women "CEDAW". Therefore, the present thesis aims to identify the deficiencies in the field of the substantive and procedural criminal protection of Palestinian women's rights in the face of violence, to inform the means of economic and political empowerment of women, to refer to international mechanisms in the face of violence against women, and to harmonize Palestinian legislation for these mechanisms. This is done in order to advance the status of Palestinian women and achieve justice and equality. Chapter One discusses the extent of the criminal protection of women's right to life, physical integrity, and sexual freedom, by analyzing and criticizing the legal provisions that protect these rights in order to show their deficiencies in discrimination against women on the basis of sex, and the deficiencies in ensuring the full protection of women against violence as required by international human rights conventions and charters. Chapter Two discusses the legal and factual obstacles and challenges that limit the abilities of women who are victims of violence to access justice. This is done by highlighting negative practices related to administrative arrest and detention in safe houses, and the legal restrictions and gaps related to the complaint. In addition, it focuses on the position of the criminal justice agencies on cases of violence against women, the way they deal with battered women and their complaints, and their adherence to the laws and respect for human rights standards. Measures to strengthen the criminal protection of women's rights in the face of violence are discussed in Chapter Three the last chapter. This is done by adopting mechanisms for the legal empowerment of women in order to achieve harmony with international human rights standards, and to achieve legislative harmonization with CEDAW, through discussing the rationale of enacting a law to combat violence against women and the obstacles to the adoption of the law to date, and ways to achieve redress for victims. Other aspects of women empowerment are not neglected. In particular, the political empowerment of women is discussed by focusing on ensuring their participation in voting, running in elections, and highlighting the importance of their participation in decision-making. In addition, the economic empowerment of women is achieved by ensuring their right to inheritance, work, and joint funds on an equal basis with men to equip women with the weapons necessary to confront and eliminate violence.
