All sentencing systems allow courts discretion to consider mitigating and aggravating factors, and many legislatures have placed a number of such factors on a statutory footing. Yet many questions remain regarding the theory and practice of mitigation and aggravation. Drawing on legal and sociological perspectives and examining mitigation and aggravation in various jurisdictions, the essays provide practical illustrations of specific factors as well as theoretical justifications. After the foreword by Andrew von Hirsch, a number of contributors address broad conceptual issues raised at sentencing. These contributions are followed by several empirical chapters including an exploration of personal mitigation in English courts. The authors are leading scholars from a range of common law jurisdictions including England and Wales, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46154131439793,"sku":"9781107659988","price":55.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46154131472561,"sku":"9780521197809","price":166.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_9547be84-70dc-4150-8bec-70b16a9a311f.jpg?v=1763719226"},{"product_id":"pulled-over","title":"Pulled Over: How Police Stops Define Race And Citizenship","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn sheer numbers, no form of government control comes close to the police stop.

Drawing on the richest study of police stops to date, the authors show that who is stopped and how they are treated convey powerful messages about citizenship and racial disparity in the United States. For African Americans, for instance, the experience of investigatory stops erodes the perceived legitimacy of police stops and of the police generally, leading to decreased trust in the police and less willingness to solicit police assistance or to self-censor in terms of clothing or where they drive. This holds true even when police are courteous and respectful throughout the encounters and follow seemingly colorblind institutional protocols.

He also argues that murder’s exclusion from the duress defence is inconsistent with the principle prohibiting conviction for morally involuntary conduct. From that principle, Fehr develops a broader constitutional structure for substantive defences implicated by homicide offences.

These eleven essays examine the composition of the criminal trial jury in England, the behavior of those who sat as jurors, and popular and official attitudes toward the institution of jury trial from its almost accidental emergence in the early thirteenth century until 1800. The essays have important implications for three problems central to the history of criminal justice administration in England: the way in which the medieval jury was informed and reached its verdict; the degree and form of independence enjoyed by juries during the early modern period when the powers of the bench were very great; and the role of the eighteenth-century trial jury, which, although clearly independent, was, by virtue of the status and experience of its members, arguably a mere extension of the bench.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis extensive collection marks the first occasion on which scholars working in several different time periods have focused their attention on the history of a single legal institution.

Shutting Down the Streets is the first book to conceptualize the social control of dissent in the era of alterglobalization.

The retributive justification of legal punishment maintains that wrongdoers are morally responsible for their actions and deserve to be punished in proportion to their wrongdoing. This book argues against retributivism and develops a viable alternative that is both ethically defensible and practical. Introducing six distinct reasons for rejecting retributivism, Gregg D. Caruso contends that it is unclear that agents possess the kind of free will and moral responsibility needed to justify this view of punishment. While a number of alternatives to retributivism exist - including consequentialist deterrence, educational, and communicative theories - they have ethical problems of their own. Moving beyond existing theories, Caruso presents a new non-retributive approach called the public health-quarantine model. In stark contrast to retributivism, the public health-quarantine model provides a more human, holistic, and effective approach to dealing with criminal behavior.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46177607745713,"sku":"9781108723480","price":60.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46177607778481,"sku":"9781108484701","price":166.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_dd7e6a71-cb62-45ae-949f-83b64ea86d20.jpg?v=1763228746"},{"product_id":"feminist-judgments-rewritten-criminal-law-opinions","title":"Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Criminal Law Opinions","description":"'Is it possible to be both a judge and a feminist?'

Right now, one in three Americans has a criminal record, mass incarceration and over-criminalization are the norm, and our jails cycle through about ten million people each year.  At the same time, sexual assaults are rarely prosecuted at all, domestic violence remains pervasive, and the distribution of punishment, and by extension justice, seems not only raced and classed, but also gendered.

Based on extensive original research, legal scholar Alexandra Natapoff reveals the inner workings of a massive petty offense system that produces over thirteen million criminal cases each year, over 80 percent of the national total. People arrested for minor crimes are swept through courts where defendants often lack lawyers, judges process cases in mere minutes, and nearly everyone pleads guilty. This misdemeanor machine starts punishing people long before they are convicted, it punishes the innocent, and it punishes conduct that never should have been a crime. As a result, vast numbers of Americans—most of them poor and disproportionately people of color—are stigmatized as criminals, impoverished through fines and fees, and stripped of driver’s licenses, jobs, and housing.

Drawing attention to how the neoliberal state outsources the labour of punishment to private corporations and the punished themselves, he also rejects the idea that “soft” punishment is in any way related to the movement for decarceration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering an original contribution to our understanding of the geography of incarceration, \u003ci\u003ePortable Prisons\u003c\/i\u003e is a sophisticated account of electronic monitoring, underlining the growing significance of this field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46179255713969,"sku":"9780228008286","price":43.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46179255746737,"sku":"9780228008279","price":120.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46179255779505,"sku":"68410be4-dcc8-3d85-a035-e568c9d4c2b6","price":30.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_6cc5cf87-eb2f-4797-842a-a66b4aeab3ea.jpg?v=1762358796"},{"product_id":"unwanted-sex","title":"Unwanted Sex: The Culture of Intimidation and the Failure of Law","description":"Despite three decades of intense scrutiny and repeated attempts at ambitious reform, our laws against rape and sexual harassment still fail to protect women from sexual overreaching and abuse. What went wrong? In this original, provocative, and enlightening work, Stephen Schulhofer, a distinguished scholar in criminal law, shows the need to refocus our laws against rape and to create a new system of legal safeguards against interference with sexual autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur laws provide comprehensive protection for property rights, labor, and other important interests, but sexual autonomy—the right to choose freely whether and when to be sexually intimate with another person—is devalued and ignored. With vivid examples, including stranger assaults, date rapes, and sexual encounters between job supervisors and subordinates, teachers and students, doctors and patients, lawyers and clients, Schulhofer shows that recent reforms of rape and sexual harassment law are overrated and inadequate. From the excessive degree of force necessary for an aggressive action to be defined as rape, to the gray areas in which coercion and exploitation can be used to elicit a false but legally valid “consent,” Schulhofer offers a clear analysis of the limits of current standards. His proposals for a radically different approach hold the promise of genuine respect and effective protection for the sexual autonomy of both women and men. It is an ambitious yet sensible vision, committed to allowing willing partners to seek consensual relationships, while fully protecting each person’s right to refuse sexual encounters that are not genuinely desired.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46180162961585,"sku":"9780674002036","price":51.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_d79d2aed-246f-48e3-ad25-c3a118f5ba49.jpg?v=1764392866"},{"product_id":"plea-bargaining","title":"Plea Bargaining: The Experiences of Prosecutors, Judges, and Defense Attorneys","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\"That relatively few criminal cases in this country are resolved by full Perry Mason-style strials is fairly common knowledge. Most cases are settled by a guilty plea after some form of negotiation over the charge or sentence. But why? The standard explanation is case pressure: the enormous volume of criminal cases, to be processed with limited staff, time and resources. . . . But a large body of new empirical research now demands that we re-examine plea negotiation. Milton Heumann's book,\u003ci\u003e Plea Bargaining,\u003c\/i\u003e strongly and explicitly attacks the case-pressure argument and suggests an alternative explanation for plea bargaining based on the adaptation of attorneys and judges to the local criminal court.

His execution passed unnoticed for years until a team of Columbia Law School faculty and students almost accidentally chose to investigate his case and found that DeLuna almost certainly was innocent. They discovered that no one had cared enough about either the defendant or the victim to make sure the real perpetrator was found. Everything that could go wrong in a criminal case did. This book documents DeLuna's conviction, which was based on a single, nighttime, cross-ethnic eyewitness identification with no corroborating forensic evidence. At his trial, DeLuna's defense, that another man named Carlos had committed the crime, was not taken seriously. The lead prosecutor told the jury that the other Carlos, Carlos Hernandez, was a \"phantom\" of DeLuna's imagination. In upholding the death penalty on appeal, both the state and federal courts concluded the same thing: Carlos Hernandez did not exist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe evidence the Columbia team uncovered reveals that Hernandez not only existed but was well known to the police and prosecutors. He had a long history of violent crimes similar to the one for which DeLuna was executed. Families of both Carloses mistook photos of each for the other, and Hernandez's violence continued after DeLuna was put to death. This book and its website (thewrongcarlos.net) reproduce law-enforcement, crime lab, lawyer, court, social service, media, and witness records, as well as court transcripts, photographs, radio traffic, and audio and videotaped interviews, documenting one of the most comprehensive investigations into a criminal case in U.S. history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is eye-opening yet may not be unusual. Faulty eyewitness testimony, shoddy legal representation, and prosecutorial misfeasance continue to put innocent people at risk of execution. The principal investigators conclude with novel suggestions for improving accuracy among the police, prosecutors, forensic scientists, and judges.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46179298377905,"sku":"9780231167239","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46179298410673,"sku":"9780231167222","price":156.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46179298443441,"sku":"d305e803-015e-383f-983f-4542c97dec72","price":19.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_5bf7f657-7582-49b0-a84d-13dbf69f18b4.jpg?v=1763635929"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/collections\/criminal-law.oembed","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
