Abstract:
In the monograph, taking into account the scientific and legal analysis, the experience of practical and social activities, a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the problems associated with the destructive impact on the behavior of minors in the Russian Federation is carried out. The research was aimed at developing one of the first scientific definitions and signs of an information destructive psychological environment, which is the basis for committing crimes against life and health against minors, as well as scientific and practical proposals for improving state measures to counteract destructive effects in the youth environment. It is addressed to students (cadets) studying in legal areas of training and specialties, graduate students (adjuncts), teaching staff, law enforcement officers.

Abstract:
The author explores the associations between alcohol and drug use and crime. First, general theoretical models of the substance use–crime connection, including substance use causing crime, crime leading to substance use, and a common cause model, are presented. Next, the empirical research that examines situational and global associations between substance use and crime is reviewed, and this research is tied to the explanatory models. The review indicates that the substance-using/crime-committing population is heterogeneous and there are multiple paths that lead to substance use and crime. For some individuals, acute intoxication increases the risks of violent crime; for some, the need for expensive and addictive drugs increases the risks for income-generating crime; for some, exposure to drug cultures and the drug market increases all types of crime, especially violent crime; for some, the criminal lifestyle increases substance use; and, finally, for others, common underlying characteristics (e.g., family, personality, genetics, neighborhoods) increase the risks for both substance use and crime. The author concludes with a discussion of implications for treatment and prevention and suggestions for future research.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at corrupt professionals who facilitate crimes involving laundered money. Against a background where global law enforcement is targeting money laundering in order to seek to reduce organised crime, corruption, drug dealing, and terrorist finance, it is obvious that professionals, acting either as unwitting enablers, or as criminal conspirators, are under scrutiny as never before. They must therefore be aware of the extent to which they might be targeted by criminals to assist them in money laundering schemes. The chapter looks at several reasons that professionals might be targeted in this way. Some professionals are open to persuasion, and may knowingly lend themselves to such money laundering schemes or schemes of terrorist finance. In doing so, these professionals will be committing breaches both of the criminal law and of their own professional guidelines. The vast majority of professionals, however, will not knowingly participate in such schemes. The chapter examines the various issues that need to be considered here.

Full text
Abstract:
“You can’t be convicted of a crime without a guilty act and a guilty mind.” A lawyer might express the same idea using Latin: “You can’t be convicted of a crime without actus reus and mens rea.” Guilty Acts, Guilty Minds proposes an interpretation of mens rea and actus reus as limits on the authority of a democratic state to ascribe guilt through positive law to those accused of crime. Actus reus and mens rea are portrayed as necessary conditions for the legitimacy of state punishment. The actus reus requirement disables a democratic state from using its authority to ascribe guilt to those who didn’t realize they were committing a crime, provided they lacked the capacity to realize they were committing a crime, or to those who realized they were committing a crime, but who lacked the capacity to conform their conduct to the requirements of law. The mens rea requirement disables a democratic state from using its authority to ascribe guilt to those who didn’t realize they were committing a crime, provided their ignorance manifested no lack of law-abiding concern for the law, or to those who realized they were committing a crime, but whose failure to conform to the law nonetheless manifested no lack of law-abiding concern for the law. Ascriptions of guilt are illegitimate, and not merely unjust, when a defendant’s choice fails to satisfy the requirements of actus reus and mens rea.

Full text
Abstract:
Transnational criminal organisations and human rights are in a dialectical relationship. Organisations can be subjected to criminal investigations and criminalization, while at the same time be protected by such rights as the right to association and free speech. While successful criminal prosecution of organisations is rare, as demonstrated by the war-crime tribunals since the Second World War, the criminalizing of organisations such as biker gangs and armed opposition groups is a more common, however questionable, option for governments. To the extent that criminal organisations are considered, first of all, to commit crimes and are investigated and prosecuted within that legal framework, the question what the concept of criminal organisations committing human rights violations would bring is a pertinent one. Crimes and human rights are different legal conceptions and should not be confused in the ‘war against organised crime’.

Abstract:
Women appear as white-collar offenders with far less frequency than do men, despite a contemporary workplace that offers more opportunities for female crime. High-level corporate positions for women that are conducive to elite deviance, however, remain relatively rare. Research on whether women are committing more white-collar crimes is inconclusive. On the victimization side of the equation, evidence is less equivocal. Both women and men are victimized by white-collar crime, but the nature of victimization is gendered. For some types of fraud, particularly reproductive medicine, women are more likely to be targets for illegal or unethical behavior. Occupational segregation increases the relative victimization risks for men and women in unique ways. This essay provides an in-depth exploration of female offending and victimization in occupational and corporate crime.

Full text
Abstract:
The strength of ethnography is that it combines the insights of what people say about crime with what they do when they make the decision to commit crime. Participant observation has played a key role in ethnographic research on crime, but it has become rare in criminology. This chapter argues that despite this development, new types of camera-based observations are emerging that can potentially bring new life into ethnographic research on crime. The chapter distinguishes between three types of observational methods (participant, researcher, and camera), and it discusses insights that have been gained from each method. Camera observations offer exciting possibilities of gaining insights into what offenders do as criminal events unfold. Although these types of observations may replace researcher observations because of higher detail and reliability, participant observations remain most suitable for the study of the socioeconomic circumstances of offenders and their experiences with committing crimes.

Full text
Abstract:
Although not well supported by empirical evidence, there exists a long tradition of beliefs suggesting that sex offenders suffer from mental disorders and are mainly driven by an uncontrollable impulse to sexually offend. Despite accumulating evidence showing the versatility of sex offenders, researchers have yet to examine their decision making similar to what has been done with other types of criminals (e.g., robbers, burglars, shoplifters, and car thieves). This chapter presents a review of the literature on the decision making involved in sexual crimes, specifically focusing on the decision making involved at the different crime stages—that is, before, during, and following the crime. Therefore, the goal is to take the reader through the different decision points an offender has to go through when committing a sexual crime. By doing so, this chapter aims to show that sex offenders are “reasoning” offenders similar to other types of criminals.

Abstract:
This article is divided into three roughly chronological sections, each dealing with an important stage in the chequered history of the legalist paradigm. Despite the real innovations of the nineteenth century, people take the Nuremberg trials as starting point because the legal developments of the immediate post-war period served as the crucible for most subsequent developments in international legalism. Criminal trials are intended to punish crime. Such punishment has classically been justified in one of three ways, as retribution, as a means for preventing the perpetrator from committing similar crimes again in future, and as a way of deterring other potential offenders from engaging in similar crimes themselves. In addition, trials for genocide and crimes against humanity have often been justified as forms of political and moral pedagogy. In the end, though, none of these justifications make much sense when applied to genocide.

Full text
Abstract:
The Dutch prosecuted commanders for the war crimes committed by their subordinates, even though these commanders had not personally participated in the criminal acts and perhaps did not even know that a particular individual under his command had violated the law of war. Such prosecutions were justified by the legal doctrine of “command responsibility,” in which a commander is guilty of a war crime when, having actual or constructive knowledge that his subordinates are committing war crimes, he either fails to prevent these violations of the law of war or else fails to punish the responsible subordinates after learning of their misconduct. The three trials examined in this chapter are important because Generals Maruyama, Imamura, and Okazaki were found not guilty by the temporary court-martial sitting in Batavia, despite sufficient evidence to support guilty verdicts.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 outlines the emergence of new national and local strategies designed to try to reduce or at least contain child poverty and crime. It offers an overview of key moments in the emergence of the Victorian and Edwardian youth justice and care systems, and locates these within wider ‘child saving’ initiatives of the period. Industrial schools admitted those under the age of 12 found guilty of committing an offence, and those aged under 14 judged to be in need of protection. Reformatories admitted offenders up to the age of 16. Although certified by the state, almost all of these institutions were run by charities. They offered basic education and training in a trade and most offered post-custodial supervised employment on release.

Full text
Abstract:
The second, between-group function of punishment asserts that people are motivated to protect their group from dangerous outsiders. Consistently, people assign severe punishment to offenders belonging to societal groups that are stereotypically associated with crime. Moreover, people are particularly punitive when an out-group offender harms an in-group victim. People are parochial altruists who sacrifice their self-interest to protect their own group, sometimes to the detriment of other groups. I then describe how parochial altruism evolved as a consequence of war and inter-group conflict, and that between-group punishment can function to deter out-groups from committing hostilities. These insights have implications for contemporary jihadi terrorism: suicide bombing essentially is an act of parochial altruism where a terrorist imposes collective punishment on an enemy out-group.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter provides an account of how, from the 1860s on, organilleros challenged some of the foundations of a middle-class lifestyle in Madrid, including comfort and aural hygiene. For that reason, city authorities intensified the legal and police persecution of these musicians toward the end of the nineteenth century. In 1889, the media orchestrated a campaign against organilleros in which they were accused of committing a crime that was never verified. This frame-up mobilized public opinion against organilleros and paved the way for the string of legal measures that targeted them from the 1890s on. While not all the media and residents in Madrid agreed that this persecution was fair, most of them celebrated it for bringing peace to Madrid, an attitude that illustrates how comfort prevailed over social justice.

Abstract:
A notable proportion of crime is committed in company, particularly during youth, but relatively little attention has been paid to the influence of co-offenders on criminal decision making. This chapter reviews current theory and research on co-offending as it relates to three aspects of offender decision making: the decision to (co)-offend, the selection of accomplices, and choices shaping the characteristics of the criminal event (planning, target selection, and seriousness). Both implicit and explicit decision making are considered, as well as situations in which the offense is premeditated and collaboration is explicitly sought after a plan has been made and situations in which the motivation to offend develops in a group of preformed individuals who become co-offenders by committing the act. The chapter concludes with a discussion of gaps in the current evidence base and directions for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter advances the proposition that while multiple offenders are more culpable than single-crime offenders and should thus be treated differently, multiple offenders should not be punished to such an extent that the state ends up treating an offender who has committed multiple offenses more harshly or in the same way as those who have committed more serious offenses, given the message each punishment communicates about the character defects about the recipient of the punishment. Following this principle would likely result in a presumption in favor of concurrent sentencing or at least “bulk discounts,” where even if an offender is guilty of committing multiple offenses, the punishment for each additional offense is smaller than that for the first offense. This chapter further argues that the practice of bulk discounts for multiple offenders is consistent with the practice of imposing the recidivist premium on those who, after having been convicted and punished, continue to reoffend.

Full text
Abstract:
Criminally Ignorant: Why the Law Pretends We Know What We Don’t is about the legal fiction that we know what we don’t. If you bury your head in the sand rather than learn you’re committing a crime, you can be punished as if you knew. How can that be justified? This book offers a framework to explain why it’s not as puzzling as it seems. When remaining ignorant of the facts is sufficiently culpable, the interests and values protected by the criminal law are served by punishing you as though you knew those facts. This idea—imputing mental states based on equal culpability—is what this book seeks to justify (at least within limits). The resulting theory shows that some legal fictions—like the willful ignorance doctrine—require reform. At the same time, it shows why we also need more legal fictions of this kind. Moreover, they should be extended to impose further accountability on corporations. Still, equal culpability imputation can be taken too far. We need to determine its limits to avoid injustice. Thus, the book seeks to place equal culpability imputation on a solid normative foundation, while demarcating its proper boundaries. The resulting theory of when and why the criminal law can pretend we know what we don’t has far-reaching implications for legal practice and reveals the pressing need for reform.

Abstract:
In coordination with the other Allies in the Pacific, the Dutch decided to prosecute war criminals in their custody at military tribunals. These “temporary courts-martial” were created by the colonial authorities in 1946 and were located in twelve different cities and towns in the East Indies. This chapter explains how these temporary courts-martial were organized, and how the Dutch decided on the thirty-eight war crimes that could be prosecuted at these tribunals. The chapter looks at the rules of evidence created for use at the military tribunals, and examines defences available to those persons accused of committing war crimes. It also looks at how the war crimes tribunals operated in practice between 1946 and 1949.

This introductory chapter sets in context criminal offences and defences, first by considering the basis upon which certain conduct is criminalised and other conduct is not. It then outlines the reasons why people commit crimes, which types of people commit them, and whether certain groups are over-represented in criminal statistics. It also discusses the role of evidence in assessing how well criminal offences can be proved in practice; the punishments for committing crimes; the difference between criminal and civil law; the process and procedure to obtain a criminal conviction; sources of the substantive criminal law; the internal structure of offences and defences; principles of the substantive criminal law and the subjects to which it applies; legal reform; and the application of the current law.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the role of the East Asian state in the decline of mass atrocities. It suggests that the decline of mass atrocities in East Asia was driven by two, sequential, processes. First, the consolidation of states’ authority across their territory and the management or resolution of disputes about the state’s boundaries and its identity. The process of consolidation was itself often extremely violent, as different groups struggled for control of the state, disputed its boundaries and form, and tried to impose their vision of the good on the rest of the community. The second process, which began in the late 1980s, was the emergence of a new social contract between states and their citizens evident in rising expectations that, in return for loyalty, states ought to protect their citizens from mass atrocities and refrain from committing these crimes.

Abstract:
Abusive leaders are now held accountable for their crimes in a way that was unimaginable just a few decades ago. What are the consequences of this recent push for international justice? This book explains why the “golden parachute” of exile is no longer an attractive retirement option for oppressive rulers. The book argues that this is both a blessing and a curse: leaders culpable for atrocity crimes fight longer civil wars because they lack good exit options, but the threat of international prosecution deters some leaders from committing atrocities in the first place. The book diagnoses an inherent tension between conflict resolution and atrocity prevention, two of the signature goals of the international community. It also sheds light on several important puzzles in world politics. Why do some rulers choose to fight until they are killed or captured? Why not simply save oneself by going into exile? Why do some civil conflicts last so much longer than others? Why has state-sponsored violence against civilians fallen in recent years? While exploring these questions, the book marshals statistical evidence on patterns of exile, civil war duration, and mass atrocity onset. It also reconstructs the decision-making processes of embattled leaders to show how contemporary international justice both deters atrocities and prolongs conflicts.

Full text
Abstract:
Oedipus Tyrannus by the great tragedian Sophocles is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek literature. The play has always been admired for the unity of its plot; every bit of every scene counts towards the dramatic effect. The action is concentrated into a single day in Oedipus’ life; his heinous crimes of unwittingly committing patricide and incest by marrying his mother all lie long ago in the past, and now, in the action of this one day, there awaits for him only the discovery of the truth. Oedipus is portrayed as a noble king, deeply devoted to his people and they to him. Proud of his earlier defeat of the Sphinx, he is determined to save his city once again, and he unflinchingly pursues the truth of who he is and what he has done, unaware that it will bring him to disaster. The spectators, familiar with Oedipus’ story, wait in horrified suspense for that terrible moment of realisation to arrive. And when it does, Oedipus survives it: he takes full responsibility for what he has done, accepts the grief and the pain, and carries on, remaining indomitable to the end. Sophocles gives no answer as to why Oedipus is made to suffer his tragic fate. Jenny March’s new facing-page translation brings alive the power and complexities of Sophocles’ writing, with a substantial introduction and a detailed commentary which is keyed to important words in the translation and aims to be accessible to readers with little or no Greek.
