There have been attempts, all over the world, to address bribery with recourse to criminal law. As many other countries, Vietnam has been doing activities that show the determination of combating and controlling corruption, including strengthening penal provisions in terms of bribery. However, the situation of bribery in Vietnam is still alarming. For Vietnamese law enforcement authorities, criminal provisions concerning bribery are neither adequate nor clear. Analysis starts with both theoretical and practical issues relating to such offences. The understanding of bribery offences in the light of criminal law is addressed in the idea that the concept of bribery should be perceived in a modern and broad approach to include bribery in the private sector, bribery of foreign public officials; and the criminalization of different types of bribery is dependent on social attitude towards the phenomenon and the need of protecting values concerning not only government system but also private interests. Relevant international standards are analyzed respectively. The research then examines the existing criminal law of Vietnam regarding bribery offences in comparison with that of Swedish and Australia. Domestic laws on bribery indicate the considerable consistency with relevant criminal law theories. However, bribery provisions in Vietnamese Penal Code exist gaps relating to relevant Convention, including lacks of bribery in the private sector and bribery of foreign public officials. Consequently, recommendations both in building comprehensive elements of crimes and setting proportionate sanctions for crimes are made for the amendments of Vietnamese Penal Code.

This book examines core issues related to legal insanity, integrating perspectives from psychiatry, law, and ethics. Various criteria for insanity are analyzed and recommendations for forensic psychiatric and legal practice are offered. Many legal systems have an insanity defense, in one form or another. Still, it remains unclear exactly when and why mental disorders affect a person's moral or criminal responsibility. Questions addressed in this book include: Why should insanity be a component of our legal system? What should be the criteria for an insanity defense? What would be the reasons for abolishing it? Who should bear the burden of proof? Furthermore, the book discusses the impact neurosciences may have on psychiatric and psychological evaluations of defendants as well as on legal decisions about insanity

"Fascism has been described as 'the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain'. Brutal, repressive and in some cases totalitarian, the fascist and authoritarian regimes of the early twentieth century, in Europe and beyond, sought to create revolutionary new orders that crushed their opponents. A central component of such regimes' exertion of control was criminal law, a focal point and key instrument of State punitive and repressive power. This collection brings together a range of original essays by international experts in the field to explore questions of criminal law under Italian Fascism and other similar regimes, including Franco's Spain and inter-war Romania and Japan. Addressing issues of substantive criminal law, the form and function of criminal justice institutions, and the role and perception of criminal law in processes of transition, the collection casts new light on fascism's criminal legal history, and related questions of theoretical interpretation and historiography. At the heart of the collection is the problematic issue of continuity and similarity among fascist systems and preceding, contemporaneous and subsequent legal orders, an issue that goes to the heart of fascist regimes' historical identity and the complex relationship between them and the legal orders constructed in their aftermath. The collection thus makes an innovative contribution both to the comparative understanding of fascism, and to critical engagement with the foundations and modalities of criminal law across systems."--Bloomsbury Publishing
