Abstract:

Crime prevention became an important Union issue when the Treaty of Amsterdam came into force and created an area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). In 1999 the Tampere Conclusions declared the first crime preventive priorities along with the Union’s obligation to protect its citizens. Two years later the European Crime Prevention Network (EUCPN) was established and it was then stated that crime prevention should be based on knowledge and carried out through cooperation and an increased inter-state exchange of information. The Member States have the main responsibility and the work should be carried out by a multidisciplinary approach specialising on certain selected priorities. Successful practices need to be exchanged within the network and evaluation of the preventive work must be done. Despite these and other guidelines, crime preventive work has proven to be problematic. The practical problems are that proven theories are not used in the actual work, the lack of resources and evaluation methods, and too broad priorities which reflects the politicians’ unrealistic ambitions. The theoretical problems, in contrast, are the increased importance for security that collides with basic human rights and the concept of freedom, the lack of consideration for the States’ differences and the idea that States’ providence of security is a source of legitimacy.

Abstract:

This project examines correctional officer misconduct in the United States and how to detect and prevent it from occurring. The author did a content analysis of available literature regarding misconduct incidents in attempt to narrow the causation factor(s) to its existence. With the lack of empirical data regarding misconduct, the author was able to reference other criminal justice entities to provide educational knowledge on prevention, detection and to determine the causation factor(s). The author provides several examples of prevention and detection techniques. With prevention and detection techniques at the fore front of this project, the author was able to determine that ineffective supervision is the causation factor to correctional officer misconduct in United States jails and prisons.

Abstract:

In the dissertation the concept and attributes of cheating in sports are analyzed from the context of various legal and criminological paradigms; also the legal liability for illegal possession of doping and match-fixing is studied and how such liability might be applied in Lithuania and abroad. Moreover, the concept of prevention of cheating in sports is unfolded and the levels of prevention are introduced. The prevalence of two most dangerous forms of cheating in sports is analyzed; accordingly the data of empirical research are compared with foreign empirical data and scientific literature. The factors that contribute to cheating in sports are explained on the basis of various criminological-sociological theories and concrete recommendations that curb such factors are offered. The last part of dissertation is devoted for criminalization problems – in the end of thesis it is offered to criminalize illegal possession of prohibited substances and methods and manipulations of sports results.

Large, Shirley Anne. "HIV and hepatitis prevention in prisons." Thesis, University of Southampton, 1999. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/345596/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis comprises three studies that explore the attitudes and beliefs of prison staff and prisoners towards HIV and hepatitis B and C prevention policy in prisons. Analysis of the factors that influence the way prisoners and prison staff view prevention strategies highlighted some important issues from the perspective of the people most closely involved with implementation of prevention policy. The exploration of these issues was complex due to the security, legal, cultural and ethical issues that had to be considered. A case study approach incorporating qualitative and quantitative methods was used to try to embrace the complexity of the research aim. A qualitative foundation for staff and prisoner interviews was used for two reasons; firstly, so that the views of the researcher were not imposed and secondly because there were few prior research studies to base the current study on. In addition, as prisons differ in security category and in the types of prisoners held, it was presumed that developing the research to give a wider representation of the issues would be valuable; this overview was achieved by questionnaire. Data were collected from ten prisons, there were fortyone in-depth staff interviews from three types of prisons; data from 182 questionnaires from 7 prisons and 18 in-depth interviews with prisoners from the three prisons where staff were interviewed. The results show that the predominant concern of staff is that the prevention policies discussed in the study are to do with sex and drug misuse; activities considered illegal within the prison environment. Staff believed that some of the prevention measures concerned with reducing the risk associated with injecting drug use conflict with their discipline and security role and also conflict with the drug strategy policies that focus on eradicating drug use in prisons. Opiate detoxification programmes, abstinence based therapeutic programmes and drug-free areas were viewed most positively by staff and were portrayed as most closely aligned to their security and discipline role and the role of prisons in society. Most staff believed that providing condoms in prisons would also act against their discipline and security role. This is principally because of the potential to conceal or smuggle drugs using condoms and also because the stigma of same sex relationships in prisons may lead to aggression and bullying from other prisoners. Prisoners described a hidden culture of same sex relationships in prisons and generally did not completely welcome policies concerned with improved access to condoms. However, some of the prisoners highlighted a moral imperative to distribute condoms in prisons. Prisoners stated that they would view suspiciously any change in prevention policy concerned with injecting drug use, which ran counter to the current policies of intolerance to illicit drug use in prisons.

Abstract:

Drug control has important connotations in the field of civil aviation. In the first place, substance consumption by aviation personnel may have disastrous effects given the level of alertness required in the performance of their duties. Furthermore, a significant portion of the illicit traffic in drugs is performed by air. Hence, the International Civil Aviation Organization has been called upon to participate actively in the international campaign against traffic in drugs. This paper explores ICAO's response to the international call for action.
The first chapter presents ICAO within the context of the international system of drug control and provides background information on the drug control activity performed by the international community during the present century.
The second chapter reviews in detail ICAO's role and activity, which have touched three main subject areas: air transport aspects, technical aspects and legal aspects of the prevention and suppression of drug abuse and illicit traffic in international civil aviation.
The conclusions contain the author's personal assessment of the issues reviewed and make reference to the future challenges of the international community in the subject.

Lou, Jianbo. "China state commercial banks' non-performing loans : workout and prevention." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2001. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/25125.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the very significant problem of State bank nonperforming loan (NPL) in China. NPLs undermine the stability of China's banking system and the efficient operation of its markets. This thesis will make recommendations for developing better workout procedures to deal with existing NPLs and explore the role of banking regulation and supervision in NPL prevention, as well as in avoiding impacts of NPLs on the stability of banking system, drawing on experiences at national, regional and international levels. The accumulation of NPLs in China has been caused by the dominant role of State banks in China's financial markets, policy loans to state owned enterprises (SOEs), unnecessary administrative controls on banks' lending activities, weak internal controls within State banks and inappropriate banking regulation and supervision. All these have seriously ruined the conditions of market discipline in China and resulted not only in large amount of NPL stock, but also the constant creation of new NPLs on State banks' balance sheets. The NPL problem in China is not limited to individual banks. It is a systemic problem closely connected to the SOE problem. The existing bank NPLs cannot be worked out without debt and enterprise restructuring. The balance sheets of banks and firms must be cleaned up by, first, recapitalizing banks to write off and make provision for existing NPLs, and, second, setting up independent asset management companies to purchase and manage bank NPLs. To prevent the increasing accumulation of new NPLs, unnecessary administrative controls on banks must be removed; prudential banking regulation and supervision much be enhanced; appropriate internal control systems must be promoted within banks, especially with regard to the proper risk evaluation systems and internal decision-taking structures. To avoid the damaging impacts of NPL problem on the stability of the banking system, ' an explicit limited deposit insurance system should be introduced; the central bank's lender of last resort facilities must be properly defined; bank insolvency resolution mechanisms must be put in place. In a word, the proper functioning of market discipline must be restored in China.

Abstract:

Economic crime and corruption has been an issue throughout Chinese history. While there may be scope for discussion as to the significance of public confidence in the integrity of a government, in practical terms the government of China has had to focus attention on maintaining confidence in its integrity as an issue for stability. Since the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its assumption of power and in particular after the ‘Opening’ of the Chinese economy, abusive conduct on the part of those in positions of privilege, primarily in governmental organisations, has arguably reached an unprecedented level. In turn, this is impeding development as far as it undermines public confidence, accelerates jealousy and forges an even wider gap between rich and poor, thereby threatening the stability and security of civil societies. More importantly, these abuses undermine the reputation of the CCP and the government. China naturally consider this as of key significance in attracting foreign investment and assuming its leading role in the world economy. While there have been many attempts to curb economic crime, the traditional capabilities of the law and particularly the criminal justice system have in general terms been found to be inadequate. This thesis examines the existing law relating to fraud and corruption, as a mechanism for reducing the incidence and impact of such abuses and offers appropriate recommendations for rendering it more efficient and efficacious. The author discusses the legal history of economic crime control, followed by the various initiatives that have been undertaken at different levels of government to curb economic crime and corruption since the foundation of the People’s Republic of China. This thesis also assesses the existing legal and institutional regime for the protection of victims of economic crime. China’s stand against corruption is then placed in the context of various international initiatives, in particular those involving the United Nations. The primary objective of this thesis is to assess the law and its administration in China in the fight against economic crime and corruption and to facilitate a better understanding and control of the issues relating to the prevention of this phenomenon, in the promotion of China’s economic and political stability.

Abstract:

First, the nature, ambit and effect of the director’s fiduciary duty to prevent conflict of interest (“the fiduciary duty”) as it is statutorily set out in the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the “Companies Act” or “Act”) will be canvassed. Secondly, it will be demonstrated that a proper understanding of the common law concepts underpinning the Act is essential for both a proper understanding and effective application of the fiduciary duty as found in the Act. Thereafter, the paper will set out and consider the distinction between the “no profit” and the “corporate opportunity” rules. Further, the paper will examine whether and to what extent the distinction is applied and maintained by our courts. Also, this paper will explore the operation of the fiduciary duty post-resignation of directors and senior company officials. Next, consideration will be given to liability for breach of the fiduciary duty and the relevant remedies flowing therefrom. The research methodology employed throughout will be a non-empirical comparative analysis of existing case law, legislation, and academic writings on the topic to contextualize the fiduciary duty and attempt to capture its essential elements at the legislated and common law levels. The choice of English and Canadian Law for a comparative study is motivated by the fact that common law origins of the duty and subsequent approach to the continued application thereof by the aforementioned jurisdictions.

CHDS State/Local
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited
In the wake of September 11, 2001, local law enforcement agencies throughout the country find themselves struggling to identify their responsibilities and define their future role in the effort against terrorism in our homeland. At a time when law enforcement organizations are competing for limited funds and resources, agencies will have to look at how to adapt existing policing philosophies and strategies, such as community-oriented policing, to address the issue of homeland security. The goal of terrorism is centered in creating an atmosphere of fear in society to achieve a philosophical goal. Terrorism is about the impact of its violence on society. This requires the application of the basic concepts of law enforcement: protection and prevention to terrorism. As a result of the events of September 11, 2001, law enforcement agencies have had to assimilate homeland security strategies into their existing responsibilities for combating crime and maintaining social order. This thesis will identify how homeland security prevention and deterrence responsibilities efforts can be effectively integrated into local law enforcement's existing community policing framework. This thesis will also study attempt to identify the extent to which local law enforcement agencies in the state of Florida have adopted community-policing efforts into their homeland security strategy.

Full text

Abstract:

This social learning analysis of Community Safety Partnerships in Scotland will develop two sets of arguments – one empirical and one epistemological. The empirical argument is that the well-documented difficulties in partnership working (largely a result of the very different occupational cultures, structures, roles and functions of the agencies generally brought on board) are not only very much in evidence but that current ways of organising and structuring partnership working in Scotland are also very often not conducive to overcoming them. It will be argued that viewing partnership working through the lens of a relational social learning perspective (Etienne Wenger’s theory of communities of practice) provides a clear set of recommendations for resolving these problems. These empirical arguments shall form the main focus of the thesis but, given the theoretical perspective employed, a related epistemological argument also emerged and shall be developed. It is generally accepted in theoretical criminology (and elsewhere in the social sciences) that the ideas and mentalities of the discipline have been shaped by the institutional contexts in which actors were doing criminology or criminal justice work (whether as practitioners or as scholars). Therefore, it will be argued that Community Safety Partnerships are important not only as sites of criminal justice practice but also as new institutional spaces in which ways of thinking about crime and community safety have the potential to be transformed. The empirical and epistemological arguments are interrelated because it will only be where the problems of conflict and communication within partnerships can be positively resolved that their potential to become sites of thinking that transcend traditional criminal justice mentalities will be fulfilled.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis assesses the current legal regime of State Responsibility in the exploration and use of outer space as it concerns space debris prevention. It argues that the proliferation of space debris is attributable to a lack of clarity in the current regime regarding the duty imposed on state and non-state actors for its prevention. It is contended that this concern must be addressed through regulation in order to be meaningful. In support, it interrogates the current status quo of state responsibility for the space activities of non-state entities and how this differs from state responsibility in international environmental law. The objective is to show that the vicarious responsibility of states for non-state actors under current international space law and the disharmony between international space law and environmental law reinforces irresponsible conduct in space activity. As a preventive measure, it advocates for a return to the jurisprudence on "Mankind" that was the basis of the Outer Space Treaty. It suggests that concern for "all mankind" can be used to impose a duty of due regard on all space actors. In this regard, it advances a case for collective responsibility of all space actors by recommending a "Protocol on Collective Responsibility in the Prevention of Space Debris" to be executed by all space actors as a mandatory mechanism to compel the pursuit of uniform space debris prevention measures.
La présente thèse décrit le régime légal de responsabilité des Etats dans l'exploration et l'utilisation de l'espace en ce qui concerne la lutte contre les débris spatiaux. Un régime obscur quant aux devoirs des Etats et autres acteurs est à l'origine de la prolifération de ces débris. Ce problème doit être réglé par la voie réglementaire, afin d'avoir un impact efficace. Pour ce faire, le présent statu quo dans la responsabilité des Etats pour les activités de leurs nationaux dans l'espace est étudié. L'objectif est de démontrer que la responsabilité du fait d'autrui des Etats dans le cadre du présent droit international de l'espace ainsi que la discorde qui existe entre ce dernier et le droit environnemental encourage les comportements irresponsables dans les activités spatiales. Comme mesure préventive, la présente thèse propose un retour à la doctrine de « l'humanité » qui était à la base du Traité de l'espace. La prise en compte de « toute l'humanité » peut permettre d'imposer un devoir de respect à tous les acteurs de l'espace. A cette fin, cette thèse propose un régime de responsabilité collective de tous ces acteurs au travers d'un « Protocole sur la responsabilité collective pour la limitation des débris spatiaux » qui serait signé par ceux-ci. Ce mécanisme obligatoire imposerait l'adoption de mesures uniformes de lutte contre les débris spatiaux.

Abstract:

This study examined how restorative justice programs impact the probability of recidivism among juvenile offenders. It compared juveniles who completed restorative justice programs versus juveniles who were released with warning from the courts. Both groups were compared to determine if restorative justice juveniles outcomes differed based on recidivism. Logistic regression showed that restorative justice programs had statistically significant increased odds of recidivating when compared to juveniles released with a warning. However, when the groups of restorative justice were disaggregated, only the adjudicated juveniles were statistically significant. Survival time analysis showed that restorative justice juveniles have longer survival times of recidivism when compared to juveniles released with a warning. Suggestions for further research and analysis are discussed with respect to the current results.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to assess the justifications for various extensions of the criminal law introduced to combat terrorism, in particular those extensions that go beyond the existing remit of inchoate offences and extend liability to earlier acts and intentions. Its method is to begin by exploring the principles of criminal law theory that ought to apply to such extensions; to interrogate the definition of terrorism; and then to examine four recent classes of offence in counter-terrorism legislation that extend the criminal law beyond its legitimate boundaries. These offences are collectively referred to in this thesis as 'preventive terrorism offences' to reflect the fact that the primary rationale for their enactment is to prevent terrorism. The thesis concludes by assessing the place of these offences within the government's overall counter-terrorism strategy, focusing in particular on the Prevent leg of the strategy, which aims to reduce extremism and tackle the root causes of terrorism. The preventive terrorism offences display several very troubling features, most notably that they have the potential to criminalise non-wrongful conduct. It is argued that by virtue of their ability to criminalise non-wrongful conduct the offences under examination diminish the legitimacy and moral force of the criminal law. Furthermore, by extending inchoate liability to very remote acts of preparation, possession, encouragement, and association, the criminal law occupies the same operational space as measures under the Prevent strategy that are intended to be reintegrative. This overlap has the potential to render the offences counterproductive to the larger counter-terrorism endeavour by creating the perception that the Prevent strategy is in fact a covert surveillance mechanism to gather intelligence for future prosecutions. This perception leads to further mistrust and alienation of individuals and communities who feel disproportionately targeted by these measures. Thus, the offences not only offend criminal law principles and values, but also have the potential to offend the very preventive justification that is given for their enactment.

Full text

Abstract:

It is clear that every state has an obligation to prevent terrorist attacks emanating from its territory and injurious to another state. This proposition stems from various multilateral agreements on the suppression of terrorism and Security Council resolutions. It also originates from the fundamental principle of sovereignty, which entails both rights and obligations. However, the current state of knowledge does not exhaustively address the scope of this obligation of prevention and the legal consequences flowing from its violation. The present study attempts to define the contents and contours of such obligation whilst placing particular critical emphasis on the mechanics of state responsibility. Whether obscured by new technologies like the Internet, the sophisticated cellular structure of terrorist organizations or convoluted political realities, the level of governmental involvement in terrorist activities is no longer readily discernible in all instances. Furthermore, the prospect of governments waging surrogate warfare through proxies also poses intractable challenges to the mechanism of attribution under state responsibility. Therefore, it is argued that new rules are required or, alternatively, that a critical reassessment of the role of the law of state responsibility in the prevention and suppression of transnational terrorism should be engaged. In so doing, the dissertation sets out the shortcomings of the extant scheme of international responsibility whilst concurrently identifying a paradigm shift towards more indirect modes of responsibility under international law, a trend corroborated by recent state and institutional practice. This leads to the controversial question of the possible institutionalization of the implementation of state responsibility. In assessing the potential roles of United Nations organs in this setting, the study carves out a specific – but limited – role for the Security Council in ascertaining the commission of internationally wrongful acts. These considerations pave the way for the policy-oriented, context-sensitive reform of secondary rules of responsibility that follows. After drawing heavily on varied legal and theoretical influences, the study devises and prescriptively argues for the implementation of a strict liability-inspired model grounded in the logic of indirect responsibility with a view to enhancing state compliance with counterterrorism obligations, shifting the focus on prevention and promoting multilateralism and transnational cooperation.
Il est clair que le droit international oblige chaque État à prévenir les attentats terroristes provenant de son territoire et portant atteinte aux intérêts d'un autre État. Ce postulat découle de plusieurs conventions multilatérales et résolutions du Conseil de sécurité. Il se fonde également sur le principe de la souveraineté qui entraîne droits et obligations. Or, l'état actuel du savoir n'élucide pas la portée de cette obligation et n'apporte pas plus de précisions au sujet des conséquences juridiques résultant de sa violation. La présente étude vise à cerner le contenu et la portée de cette obligation tout en mettant un accent particulier – et critique – sur les mécanismes du droit de la responsabilité internationale. Possiblement obnubilé par l'avènement de nouvelles technologies comme Internet, la structure cellulaire de groupes terroristes ou des réalités politiques complexes, l'apport fourni par l'État originaire dans le cadre d'activités terroristes peut s'avérer imperceptible. La perspective qu'un État puisse procéder à des agressions indirectes par le biais de personnes ou groupes interposés soulève également d'importants défis au niveau de l'attribution. Par conséquent, ces situations requièrent de nouvelles règles ou, du moins, justifient un réexamen critique du rôle que le droit de la responsabilité peut jouer au niveau de la prévention et de la suppression du terrorisme. Dans cette optique, l'étude expose l'inadéquation du système actuel de responsabilité en identifiant toutefois un changement de paradigme vers des modes indirects de responsabilité en droit international, un phénomène étayé par la pratique étatique et institutionnelle récente. Voilà donc les bases jetées avant d'aborder l'épineuse question de la mise en œuvre de la responsabilité de l'État par le truchement d'institutions internationales. En évaluant le rôle des organes de l'ONU, l'étude taille un rôle spécifique – quoique modeste – pour le Conseil de sécurité au niveau du constat de l'illicite. Ces observations préparent le terrain pour le projet de réforme des règles secondaires qui suit. S'inspirant d'influences juridiques et théoriques variées dans une perspective de responsabilité indirecte, l'étude propose l'instauration d'un modèle informé par la responsabilité stricte afin d'augmenter la conformité étatique au droit international, d'encourager la prévention et de promouvoir le multilatéralisme et la coopération transnationale.

Full text

Abstract:

While the basic premise of precaution has been widely endorsed in environmental treaties since its inclusion in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, as a legal principle, it has been framed in such vastly dissimilar ways that it continues to generate significant disagreement over its precise nature, standing and legal effect. Despite the rich and extensive scholarship aimed at clarifying its normative content and operation, the ongoing lack of consensus on when the precautionary principle is applicable and what its application entails points to fundamental definitional challenges as well as its overall limitations as a regulatory tool. This thesis attempts to move beyond this impasse by reassessing the precautionary principle in light of the distinction traditionally made in formal scientific discourse between risk and uncertainty. While this technical distinction is fundamental to defining the proper scope of the principle’s application, the thesis finds that much of the existing legal discourse has either overlooked or marginalised the risk/uncertainty dichotomy, which in turn has blurred the distinction between the principles of precaution and prevention. The thesis sets out what is meant by these analytically distinct concepts in the legal context, focusing on their implications for the processes of legal reasoning and regulatory decision-making. Having examined the conceptual underpinnings of the precautionary principle, and of the principle of prevention, the thesis proceeds to address a central research question – if uncertainty, as opposed to risk, determines the operational scope of the precautionary principle, to what extent do the current applications of the precautionary principle actually fall within its proper domain? To answer this, the thesis embarks on a deconstruction of the precautionary principle in practice by analysing how precaution has been deployed as an operational principle in particular treaty contexts. The treaty regimes examined here include: international fisheries; persistent organic pollutants; ocean dumping; sanitary and phytosanitary threats under the WTO; and atmospheric pollution and climate change. In each case, the thesis scrutinises the extent to which assumptions, obligations and measures contained therein are consistent with the theoretical underpinnings of precaution. Despite the pervasive use of the precautionary rhetoric in treaty texts and practice, the thesis ultimately finds that, for the most part, these instruments are in fact aimed at specific, scientifically-determined risks, and thus what is often upheld in the name of precaution is actually the prevention principle. The thesis argues that it is better to frame risk regulation through prevention, and not precaution, by considering the implications of abandoning the precautionary principle in those areas where the prevention principle is clearly at play. The thesis completes the analysis by addressing what is actually left for the precautionary principle and discussing some of the distinct ways in which precaution functions within its specific, circumscribed domain.

Abstract:

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a concept which has developed over the past five decades through a range of fields. It is based on the premise that modifications to the built and natural environment can reduce both crime and fear, and improve the overall quality of life. CPTED relies on the cooperation of a variety of agencies; however, research has revealed important inherent difficulties regarding multi-agency working and that current practice is neither sustainable nor does it consider social characteristics which may impact upon crime and the effectiveness of CPTED initiatives. Criticisms of diverse factors relating to CPTED have been expressed but how robust such criticisms are and if suitable resolutions exist has not been explored. Using a mixed methods approach, this PhD seeks to improve and update the CPTED concept by addressing issues of communication and collaboration between CPTED stakeholders, and suggests robust ways of enhancing the social context within CPTED planning. The research answers the following fundamental questions: what are the underlying problems of the CPTED concept and how did they come to fruition; and can the approach to CPTED planning be re-examined and updated to reduce the inherent underlying difficulties and improve the transferability and practical application of CPTED initiatives. The research highlights language and definition inconsistencies in the CPTED framework, transferability and engagement issues between CPTED stakeholders and an unestablished but vital link between CPTED and social sustainability and context. The thesis delivers three major academic contributions to new knowledge. It firmly identifies failings in the CPTED concept since its inception to present; it proposes an updated framework which is theoretically driven, and represents a holistic catchment of all CPTED knowledge; and it makes a solid link between crime prevention and the sustainable development of communities highlighting its importance for context analysis.

Abstract:

This thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It will first focus on a contextual analysis of the problem of torture, examining the circumstances in which it has historically been used, philosophical and theoretical perspectives on the practice and the political aspects of torture, including its effect on international relations. This will illustrate the circumstances in which torture is used, the motivation behind it and the way in which it affects its victims. The argument will then be made that, in view of the uniquely grave nature of the practice of torture, it is insufficient for States to merely criminalise it and punish the offenders. They must actively seek to eradicate it from society and ultimately prevent it from occurring. It is against this aim that the thesis will examine the compliance of the United Kingdom with its obligations under the Convention. This examination will look first at the international regime for the prevention of torture, focusing on the work of the United Nations Committee Against Torture. The engagement of the United Kingdom with this body will be explored in detail and the argument made that more needs to be done in order to ensure that the Committee’s recommendations are put into effect and that treatment contrary to the Convention is prevented from taking place. The final part of the thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s State practice with a focus on key institutions of the State including the courts and the legislature. This part of the thesis will seek to explore the extent to which the practices of these institutions is consistent with an overall aim of preventing torture and the extent to which they show awareness of the Convention and its requirements of the Convention in the discharge of their functions. The conclusion will be drawn that, while the Human Rights Act has gone some way towards improving compliance, more needs to be done to insure a complete implementation by the United Kingdom of its obligations under the Convention and full prevention of torture. The State must actively engage with the Committee and the organs of the State must consider the Convention Against Torture in the discharge of all of their functions to ensure that these aims are achieved.

Abstract:

Magister Legum - LLM
In the field of international law three core crimes generally make up the jurisdiction of international criminal tribunals: war crimes; genocide; and crimes against humanity. Only two of these crimes (war crimes and genocide) are the subject of a global convention that requires States to prevent and punish such conduct and to cooperate among themselves toward those ends. By contrast, there is no such convention dedicated to preventing and punishing crimes against humanity. An international convention on prevention, punishment and inter-State cooperation with respect to crimes against humanity appears to be a key missing piece in the current framework of international law. The offence of crimes against humanity is a jus cogens and there is an erga omnes for states to prosecute and extradite offenders of crimes against humanity. This can be achieved by having international obligations founded on a specialised convention.

Abstract:

Evaluation of an Early Intervention System at a Law Enforcement Agency. Robert Scott Russell, 2014: Applied Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Abraham S. Fischler School of Education. ERIC Descriptors: Computer Software Evaluation, Crime Prevention, Law Enforcement, Police Community Relationship, Program Evaluation. The problem addressed through this program evaluation was that no formal study had been conducted regarding the implementation and effectiveness of the BlueTeam Program (BTP) within the law enforcement agency (LEA) serving as the study site. The BTP is a program that utilizes a computer application to track officer behaviors and alert administrators to potential trends in officer misconduct and complaints against officers. The program evaluation was guided by the process and product segments of Stufflebeam's (2003) content, input, process, and product model. To conduct the evaluation, the researcher used a mixed methods approach for analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data. The perceptions of LEA stakeholders regarding the BTP, such as the sufficiency of staffing, budget, training, and ongoing support for effective implementation, were first collected. Quantitative data, consisting of archived, deidentified indicators of officer misconduct and complaints against officers acquired through the BTP, were then analyzed. Findings of the study were that the BTP was effective in reducing incidents of officer misconduct and complaints against officers and for use in identifying which alerts were valid indicators of misconduct and complaints against officers. The one concern of stakeholders involving the BTP was limited nighttime vision; the recommendation for program improvement is that this shortcoming be addressed to determine possible solutions. Recommendations for future research involve the need for initial determinations, as well as formative evaluations, pertaining to the following three areas: (a) ascertaining the way in which the early intervention system will be used, (b) identifying the indicators of misconduct that will be tracked, and (c) determining the threshold at which the system will issue an alert.

Full text

Abstract:

Safety and health is a basic human need and when not met, exacts costs that prevent societies from realizing development goals. Injury is increasing as a leading cause of death and disability. As the result of advances in public health knowledge and safety engineering technology, accidents and other injury events are often preventable. Injuries result from identifiable determinants and conditions that create exposure to identifiable hazards. By controlling hazards, the toll of injury can be reduced.
International trade and investment can create conditions that increase or diminish the global injury burden. International institutions and national governments face the question of how to protect safety and health rights and reduce the injury burden in a world of increasingly global business activity. International institutions do not yet provide comprehensive regulation for exported harms. In common law nations, liability through formal law plays an important role in regulating conditions that can lead to injury. In such nations, private law can play an important role in filling segments of the regulatory gap relating to exported harms.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to examine a selection of the standards identifiable in the published work of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment ("the CPT"). Part I commences with an examination of the mandate and modus operandi of the Committee, followed by an exposition of the two fundamental principles - of confidentiality and co-operation - which inform its work. The CPT's standard-setting work is introduced by means of an examination of its evolution and rationale, the purport of standards set and the ways in which such standards find expression. Part II concerns CPT precepts on police custody. It begins with an examination of the CPT's "three fundamental safeguards against ill-treatment": the rights to notify a third party of the fact of one's detention, of access to legal advice and to a medical examination by a doctor of one's own choosing. It then considers, in turn, the duty to inform a detainee of all his rights; the conduct of police interrogations; the electronic recording of interviews; the maintenance of custody records; and police complaints and inspection procedures. Part III is devoted to a number of matters considered under the umbrella term "imprisonment". It begins with a detailed examination of the phenomenon of prison overcrowding, its effects on detainees and the prison environment, and policies designed to eradicate it or at least mitigate its effects. There then follow two sections on recourse to and safeguards attending, the use of force and/or instruments of restraint and solitary confinement in places of detention (which places include, for the sake of completeness, police establishments, immigration detention centres, psychiatric establishments, etc.). Part IV attemptst o draw everything together, to assess the impact of CPT standards on national criminal justice and penal policy and to consider ways in which that impact might be enhanced.

Full text

Abstract:

Paragraphs 138 to 140 of the Outcome Document of the 2005 UN World Summit not only elevated the element of prevention to a prominent place within the principle of “responsibility to protect” (R2P), but also restricted the scope of R2P to four specific crimes under international law: genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. This thesis explores the conceptual and practical consequences of linking R2P to the concept of international crimes, with a particular focus on the preventive dimension of R2P, the socalled “responsibility to prevent”. To date, much of what has been written about the “responsibility to prevent” borrows primarily from conflict prevention theory and practice. Such conflict prevention inspired accounts of the “responsibility to prevent” tend to depict the principle as a long-term agenda that seeks to build societies resilient to atrocity crimes; that rests primarily on pillars one (state responsibility) and two (international assistance and capacity-building); that is supportive rather than undermining of state sovereignty; and that can largely adhere to the traditional conflict prevention principles of impartiality, consent, and minimal coercion should more direct prevention efforts become necessary. Drawing on literature from criminology, this thesis develops an international crimes framework for operationalizing the preventive dimension of R2P. The framework, combined with three case studies of international crime prevention (Bosnia 1991-1995; Kenya 2007-08; and Libya 2011), challenges key assumptions of the conflict prevention accounts, arguing that linking R2P to the concept of international crimes turns the “responsibility to prevent” into a principle that is more focused on the short-term, rather than on so-called root causes of atrocity crimes; more focused on individuals, rather than on state structures and capacity; more partial regarding perpetrators and victims; and more coercive, intrusive, and controversial than is commonly acknowledged in academic writing and policy debates on the subject. More broadly, the thesis concludes that taking R2P’s focus on the prevention of international crimes seriously requires re-rethinking the “responsibility to prevent” in important respects.

This paper will look at whether the legislation passed in South Africa aimed at preventing and prohibiting oil pollution, as well as current civil liability regimes for oil pollution accidents are adequate or if they fail to meet the standard required by international law. For instance, compensation for the damage and harm caused to the environment is vital in order to restore the sea and prevent further accidents. In terms of civil liability, South Africa ratified the Convention on Civil Liability, but failed to enact domestic legislation in terms of the Convention to regularly update current legislation so that the standards are high and enforceable in national law. The result was that South Africa was left financially unprepared to deal with future oil spills and prevention thereof.

In this academic article, the author analyzes the administrative simplification mechanisms implemented in the Law of General Administrative Procedure, 27444, as amended by Legislative Decree 1272, and in the recent Law of Prevention and Elimination of Bureaucratic Barriers, Legislative Decree 1256. Thus, it can be seen that both laws have taken into account the recommendations of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in order to (i) alleviate the burdens imposed on the citizens in the development of administrative procedures, (ii) empower the Office of the President of the Council of Ministers in order to implement administrative simplification measures and to monitor compliance by entities, and (iii) eliminate bureaucratic barriers in our legal framework.

Así, se podrá evidenciar que ambas normas han tomado en consideración las recomendaciones de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) para (i) alivianar las cargas impuestas a los administrados en el desarrollo de los procedimientos administrativos, (ii) empoderar a la Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros para que implemente medidas adicionales de simplificación administrativa y supervise el cumplimiento por parte de las entidades, y (iii) eliminar las barreras burocráticas en nuestro ordenamiento.

Abstract:

After the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, on American soil, a plethora of norms that enable military forces to shoot-down hijacked civil aircraft have been passed in several countries. Although these laws, decrees and executive orders are grounded on security reasons and they are allegedly aimed to protect people and vital interests on ground, this assertion does not emasculate the main difficulty they face in legal terms, which is the existence of an international provision that forbids the use of force against civilian aircraft. This thesis contains a detailed list of such domestic norms and conducts an analysis of their validity from the perspective of Article 3bis of the Chicago Convention and the right of self-defense granted to states by the Charter of the United Nations.

Kriminologinių-sociologinių teorijų kontekste atskleidžiami veiksniai, sąlygojantys sukčiavimą sporto srityje, ir pasiūlomos prevencinės strategijos, kuriomis būtų siekiama tokius veiksnius neutralizuoti. Disertacijos paskutinė dalis skirta sukčiavimo sporto srityje kriminalizavimo problemoms – jos pabaigoje siūloma kriminalizuoti neteisėtą disponavimą sporte draudžiamomis medžiagomis ir metodais bei manipuliacijas sporto varžybų rezultatais.
In the dissertation the concept and attributes of cheating in sports are analyzed from the context of various legal and criminological paradigms; also the legal liability for illegal possession of doping and match-fixing is studied and how such liability might be applied in Lithuania and abroad. Moreover, the concept of prevention of cheating in sports is unfolded and the levels of prevention are introduced. The prevalence of two most dangerous forms of cheating in sports is analyzed; accordingly the data of empirical research are compared with foreign empirical data and scientific literature. The factors that contribute to cheating in sports are explained on the basis of various criminological-sociological theories and concrete recommendations that curb such factors are offered. The last part of dissertation is devoted for criminalization problems – in the end of thesis it is offered to criminalize illegal possession of prohibited substances and methods and manipulations of sports results.
