Book Description
Practical Global Criminal Procedure contextualizes criminal procedural law by analyzing police investigation in a homicide case under the law of the United States, Argentina, and the Netherlands. The book discusses the fictional case of Nico Jansen, an 18-year-old high school student who, after a series of events, is charged with murder. The initial police investigation of Nico and his co-defendant becomes the vehicle for an in-depth examination of seizures, searches, interrogations, identifications, and remedies for procedural violations under the law of each country. This book is designed as a student reader, and it can be used to provide a comparative experience to students in a basic criminal procedure course, to supplement a comparative law survey course, or to serve as primary text in a comparative criminal procedure course. The initial chapters provide a basic overview of life, crime, the legal system, and the criminal system in each country, and sets forth the facts of Nico''s case. The remaining chapters discuss the relevant criminal procedural law in each country and apply that law to the specific circumstances of Nico''s case. Comparison charts appear at the end of each substantive chapter to highlight and summarize the similarities and differences between each country''s laws. This book is part of the Contextual Approach Series, edited by Andrew J. McClurg, Professor and Herff Chair of Excellence in Law, The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. "This is comparative law as we dreamed it could be. The authors meticulously take us through the ins and outs of criminal procedure in three different countries. They provide the detail and continuity largely missing from individual works of comparative law, consisting only of disconnected snapshots of a foreign legal regime. From the comprehensive perspective of this work, and the clear collaboration among all three authors, the reader is offered a coherent comparative account of the detailed workings of the criminal justice systems in the U.S., Argentina, and the Netherlands." --Jorge Esquirol, Professor of Law, Florida International University College of Law "Because it uses a single hypothetical case as a springboard, this casebook allows students to compare in a rich factual context the nuances of the law regulating searches and seizures, interrogation, and identification in the United States, Argentina and the Netherlands. The three authors, each experts about their own countries, provide a compact, yet informed and comprehensive account of the fundamental differences between the investigative phases of these three archetypical criminal justice systems." --Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School "This book is an extremely useful introduction to comparative criminal procedure. It takes a rather complicated murder case and shows readers how the case with its pretrial issues including search issues, issues surrounding the questioning of suspects, and identification issues would be resolved under the law in three very different legal systems. It will prove an excellent teaching tool for law students in comparative law courses, but because it is such a readable book, it will also serve as an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding different legal cultures." --William Pizzi, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado Law School "Practical Global Criminal Procedure is a great resource and teaching tool. It offers readers the opportunity to challenge unknowing assumptions they have about criminal investigation and prosecution in different legal systems. The comparison between U.S., Argentine, and Netherlands law permits the authors to offer insight into contrasting perspectives on criminal law and criminal investigation: common law versus civil law frameworks, adversarial versus inquisitive processes, the judge as a neutral party versus the judge as a director of the case, and all points in between. The comparison also allows the reader to consider, in the case of The Netherlands, the overlay of a strong regional international human rights tradition. All of this is accomplished by following a single factual scenario through investigation, arrest, and trial. The reader is left with a deeper understanding of the law in these three jurisdictions, as well as an appreciation of not only how to undertake a comparative analysis of the law, but why more of us should do so." --Marcella David, Professor of Law & International Studies, Associate Dean for International & Comparative Law, University of Iowa College of Law

Global Perspectives on People, Process, and Practice in Criminal Justice
Author: Leonard, Liam J.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799866483
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The United States incarcerates nearly one quarter of the world’s prison population with only five percent of its total inhabitants, in addition to a history of using internment camps and reservations. An overreliance on incarceration has emphasized long-standing and systemic racism in criminal justice systems and reveals a need to critically examine current processes in an effort to reform modern systems and provide the best practices for successfully responding to deviance. Global Perspectives on People, Process, and Practice in Criminal Justice is an essential scholarly reference that focuses on incarceration and imprisonment and reflects on the differences and alternatives to these policies in various parts of the world. Covering subjects from criminology and criminal justice to penology and prison studies, this book presents chapters that examine processes and responses to deviance in regions around the world including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Uniquely, this book presents chapters that give a voice to those who are not always heard in debates about incarceration and justice such as those who have been incarcerated, family members of those incarcerated, and those who work within the walls of the prison system. Investigating significant topics that include carceral trauma, prisoner rights, recidivism, and desistance, this book is critical for academicians, researchers, policymakers, advocacy groups, students, government officials, criminologists, and other practitioners interested in criminal justice, penology, human rights, courts and law, victimology, and criminology.

A Practical Guide to Using International Human Rights and Criminal Law Procedures
Author: Connie de la Vega
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 178811972X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
This book is a practical, experience-based guide for advocates seeking remedies for human rights violations through the use of international institutions. Since 1948, when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, mechanisms for addressing human rights violations have multiplied to include UN Charter based bodies, treaty-based organizations including the international criminal court, and regional institutions. Each mechanism has its own admissibility requirements: accreditation, timeliness of claims, and exhaustion of remedies. For practitioners, the maze of rules and institutions can be difficult to navigate. This book offers step-by-step approaches for maximizing the institutions’ intended effect–promotion of human rights at all levels.
