INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW AND PHILOSOPHY
This volume brings together some of the best recent work by philosophers and legal theorists on the conceptual and normative grounding of international criminal law. Philosophers and other theorists are only just beginning to write about the emerging field of international criminal law. International law has taken a significant turn in recent years. Rather than being primarily concerned with the relations of states, one significant branch of international law – namely, international criminal law – now concerns the relations of individuals, specifically, the responsibility of individuals for mass atrocities....

LEGAL COUNSEL
People write books for many reasons. Some write for money, while others have stories to tell. Some write to fill personal or social needs. I wrote as a result of a number of factors that seemed to coalesce at one time. The first factor was a client who didn't pay me. I thought at the time that the advice I had given was good. Since I had done the research for the opinion, why not put the information I had gleaned from various sources to good use?

Criminal law, tradition and legal order
In the all too lengthy process of writing and re-writing I have incurred an enormous number of debts, intellectual, emotional and (more often than I would have wished) financial. I cannot easily repay these, but by their acknowledgement I can formally record my gratitude to some of the people who have responded to my many requests for assistance.

EU Criminal Law and Justice
Following the signing of the Lisbon Treaty the authors took a strategic decision to ring-fence discussions of the relevant changes in the book. If you read the ‘boxed text’ throughout this book, you will realise that the changes affecting the field of criminal law contained in the Lisbon Treaty are particularly important. The value of this ring-fencing approach was demonstrated when on Friday 13 June 2008 the legislation necessary to ratify the Lisbon Treaty by Ireland was rejected in a referendum. At present, the EU and Member State leadership are unsure whether and (if so) how to salvage at least some of the reforms contained in the Lisbon Treaty....

ENGLISH-RUSSIAN DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN CRIMINAL LAW
This book is a unique reference, aimed at filling in the existing void and bridging a linguistic, as well as a cultural, gap between Americans and Russians in the legal sphere. It is the first English-Russian Dictionary of American Criminal Law to be published in this country. The demand for this kind of materials in the United States has been growing steadily over the past few years. Since the end of the Cold War thousands of Russians have come to the United States including political and religious refugees, immigrants, scientists, tourists, business people, and, regrettably, criminals. The Russian Mafia terrorizes American cities on the East Coast and is spreading...

Principles of German Criminal Law
This book is meant as a companion to my translation of the German Criminal Code, recently published by Hart. Despite the fact that there are many publications that deal with individual comparative aspects of German criminal law, a coherent presentation of the main principles in English has been missing so far. I hope that the book together with the Criminal Code translation will give readers a reliable first impression of the German law

Briefcase on Criminal Law Second Edition
D stabbed a pregnant woman with the intention of harming her alone. She then went into premature labour, her child being born alive. D pleaded guilty to wounding the woman with intent. Subsequently, her child died owing to its prematurity, and D was charged with murder Held D could be guilty of manslaughter but not murder. The requisite intent to be proved in the case of murder was an intention to kill or cause really serious bodily injury to the mother, the foetus before birth being viewed as an integral part of the mother. Such intention was appropriately modified in the case of manslaughter....

The Theory and Practice of International Criminal Law
Few among us can claim to have shaped the course of world history. M. Cherif Bassiouni, however, is just such a man. Often referred to as the “father” of modern international criminal law, his fingerprints are upon every major international criminal law instrument of the past 45 years including the Apartheid Convention, the Torture Convention, and the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court. An extraordinarily prolific scholar, Bassiouni has written and edited 72 books on Extradition Law, International and Comparative Criminal Law, International Human Rights, and U.S. Criminal Law....

SOURCEBOOK ON CRIMINAL LAW
This Sourcebook seeks to provide a handy set of reference materials for students studying criminal law on undergraduate or CPE programmes. As such it offers coverage of the mainstream criminal offences through statutory and case law materials. Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1997 there have been many significant developments in the field of substantive criminal law, primarily through the endeavours of the judiciary. Included in this second edition are comprehensive extracts from key House of Lords decisions such as B v DPP (mistake of fact/strict liability); R v Hinks (theft); R v Smith (provocation); and R v Powell and Daniels; R v English (accessorial liability),...

The Principle of Complementarity in International Criminal Law: Origin, Development and Practice
As the International Criminal Court is gathering momentum and facing a growing case-load, it appears necessary to revisit the fundamental concept underpinning the Rome Statute: complementarity. Despite its apparent simplicity, this notion is extremely complex and the Court is now faced with pressing questions regarding its interpretation. Yet, no comprehensive study has hitherto been undertaken regarding the multiple facets, historical and contemporary, legal, philosophical and practical of the notion of complementarity...

GUILTY PLEAS IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Fift y years aft er the victorious allies brought Axis war criminals to justice at the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals, the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council established an ad hoc tribunal to prosecute those accused of international crimes in the former Yugoslavia. Th e years that had elapsed between the creation of the World War II tribunals and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) saw thousands of atrocities that resulted in millions of deaths but that were followed by virtually no prosecutions....

CRIMINAL LAW 2002 - 2003 Fourth edition
The purpose of this book is to assist students in their study of criminal law and it is aimed primarily at those who are studying on degree courses and courses leading to professional examinations. It is not intended to replace standard textbooks, law reports and academic journals but to complement them by providing illustrations of answers to typical examination and course assessment questions. It is anticipated that it will be of most use to the student who has acquired a good knowledge of the relevant rules and principles of criminal law but who still experiences difficulty in expressing that knowledge....

LAW WITHOUT JUSTICE
Paul Robinson thanks the participants of faculty workshops at Northwestern University School of Law and University of Minnesota Law School, and the Fordham University School of Law Advanced Criminal Law Seminar. The first presentation of these materials was as the Sackler Professorship Lecture at Tel Aviv University in December 2000. Research into the case facts and the collection of the many photographs was done through the unstinting efforts of several generations of research assistants, including, most ably, Michael Areinoff, Joseph Wheatley, Lindsay Suttenberg, and Steven Valdes, of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Alex Paul, Megan Bell, and Stephen Haedicke of the Northwestern University School of Law....

IMMIGRATION AND CRIMINAL LAW IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
By 2003 an explosion in political, legislative and academic interest in the field of trafficking and smuggling of human beings in Europe was well underway. It was in part a reflection of the international concern regarding smuggling and trafficking which was expressed in the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime and two draft protocols, one to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children and the other to combating smuggling of persons which supplement the convention adopted in 2000....

CRIMINAL LAW AND COLONIAL SUBJECT NEW SOUTH WALES, 1810-1830
The Clerk for Public Prosecutions allowed me access to the criminal records which provide the basis for this book. Dawn Troy of the New South Wales Archives Office made records awaiting restoration available for my research; she also provided me with lists of cases. Di Rhodes of the Dixson Library assisted me in locating police bench records for Sydney. The staff of the New South Wales Archives Office were also most helpful in locating records, advising copying procedures and tolerating my requests. Though I spent less time in the Mitchell Library, staff there were similarly helpful....

PERSONAL AUTONOMY, THE PRIVATE SPHERE AND THE CRIMINAL LAW
This book is the result of long-standing collaboration between Cardiff Law School, University of Wales, and the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology of the University of Utrecht. It is the fifth book to appear since our first research contacts in 1986.1 Since those early days, our field of collaborators has broadened considerably. Some of the original group have moved on to work elsewhere, but have nevertheless remained sufficiently involved to want to contribute to this volume. We have also sought to interest researchers from other universities and institutes, both in and outside the United Kingdom and The Netherlands, in our continuing and widening comparative studies....

Consumer Protection and the Criminal Law Law, Theory, and Policy in the UK
Consumer protection law and criminal law have both received considerable analysis from academic lawyers. The role of legal intervention with the aim of protecting the consumer has come in for scrutiny in a number of seminal works, many of which concentrate upon the role of consumer law in the marketplace. The role of criminal law has also been discussed by a large number of leading commentators, with particular attention being paid to the boundaries of criminal sanctions, and particular concern being addressed to increasing criminalisation. Against this background, it is surprising that so little has been written about the role of criminal sanctions in the protection of the consumer....

Criminal Attempts
This book reflects the belief that a careful study of the Law of Attempts should be both interesting in itself, as well as being a productive route into a number of larger and deeper issues in criminal law theory and in the philosophy of action. By identifying the legal doctrines which courts and legislatures have developed or adopted, the author goes on to ask whether and how they can be rationalized or rendered persuasive. Such an approach involves paying detailed attention to cases. The book is also unusual in that it grapples with English, Scots and US law, showing great...

Mental Condition Defences in the Criminal Law
Mental condition defences have been used in several high-profile and controversial criminal trials in recent years. indeed, mental abnormality is increasingly an important yet complex source of defence within the criminal trial process. The author offers a detailed critical analysis of those defences within the Criminal Law where the accused relies on some form of mental abnormality as a source of defence.

THE CRIMINAL LAW OF GENOCIDE
When knowledge of the atrocities of the National Socialist regime spread, there was a feeling among contemporary observers that they were faced with a phenomenon that was poorly addressed by the existing rules of international law. In those days, Winston Churchill felt that the world was in the presence of a ‘crime without a name’. And in those days, Raphael Lemkin, a Polish lawyer who had lost 49 members of his family in the Holocaust, gave a name to the crime. It was in his seminal book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1943/1944) that the term ‘genocide’ made its first appearance; the root of a concept on...

This book addresses psycholegal issues from both law (e.g., statutes, case law, and legal theory) and clinical-forensic (e.g., empirically based knowledge and specialized methods) perspectives.Within the criminal justice system, it considers the major legal, empirical, and forensic issues found in the law–mental health interface.

Prosecuting International Crimes
This project is the outcropping of work undertaken at two universities, Nottingham and Manchester: first at Nottingham, as a research student, next at Manchester as a lecturer and, finally, back at Nottingham as an academic. From my early days at Nottingham, I owe a debt of gratitude to my supervisors Nigel D. White and Dino Kritsiotis, and to David Harris and the School of Law for granting me a scholarship to pursue my interest in international criminal law.

An Introduction to INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW AND PROCEDURE
With the start of the first prosecutions by the International Criminal Court and the closing phases of the work of the ad hoc Tribunals, this is a good time for a new book on international criminal law and its institutions. This book is intended as an accessible yet challenging explanation and appraisal of international criminal law and procedure for students, academics and practitioners. We focus on the crimes which are within the jurisdiction of international courts or tribunals – genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression – and the means of prosecuting them. We also briefly discuss terrorist offences, torture, and other crimes which are not...

Our intention for this second edition is the same as it was for the first: to provide an accessible yet challenging explanation and appraisal of international criminal law and procedure for students, academics and practitioners. We focus on the crimes which are within the jurisdiction of international courts or tribunals – genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression – and the means of prosecuting them. We also briefly discuss terrorist offences, torture, and other crimes which are not (yet) within the jurisdiction of an international court or tribunal....

Mental Disorder and Criminal Law
Recent Supreme Court decisions categorically preclude the application of capital punishment to convicted offenders who were below the age of eighteen or mentally retarded at the time they committed the crimes for which they were sentenced.1 Neither opinion suggests that offenders in these categories cannot be criminally responsible for their offenses, and the Atkins opinion explicitly recognizes that some mentally retarded offenders can qualify as criminally responsible for their offenses.2 In each case, part of the reasoning in support of the exemption from capital sentences purports to show that capital punishment of these offenders would serve neither the retributive nor the deterrent functions of criminal punishment.3 Both opinions...
