The book sketches out how the criminological lens could be used in the climate change debate around possible human extinction It explores the extent to which the human species can be considered deviant in relation to other species of the contemporary biosphere as humans seem to be the only species on Earth that does not live in natural balance with their environment anymore It discusses several unsettling topics in the public debate on climate change specifically the taboo of how humans may not survive the ongoing climate change It includes chapters on the Earth s history of mass extinctions the global state of denial including toward the possibility that the human species could go extinct and it considers humans future as a deviant fatal species outside of Earth in outer space possibly on other planets It puts forward and enriches the critical criminological tradition by conceptualizing and setting an unsettling tone within criminology and criminological research on the human species and our extinction by daring criminologists and victimologists to ponder and seek empirical answers to controversial imaginations and questions about our possible extinction

La monografía realiza un análisis del desarrollo histórico de lo que en terminología alemana se conoce como el Bestandsschutz del arrendatario, es decir, la protección de su derecho a la permanencia en el arrendamiento. El punto de partida es el Derecho romano clásico. (...) Examina la doctrina de Klaus Genius y Udo Wolter, en la que la existencia de una protección del arrendatario se expresa en cuatro puntos fundamentales: el régimen de la realización coactiva de la prestación del arrendador; la tutela posesoria del arrendatario; el elenco cerrado de causas de extinción del contrato por el arrendador; y la posición del arrendatario ante la transmisión del derecho del arrendatario. El A. recurre a la dogmática moderna en el análisis de las fuentes romanas, lo que manifiesta una preocupación de conexión con la realidad y el pensamiento actuales, siempre con respeto del significado genuino de los fragmentos analizados. Así, su consulta bibliográfica abarca obras de autores portugueses, españoles, italianos, alemanes, británicos, franceses y neerlandeses. (...) La segunda parte del trabajo refiere la evolución de la protección del arrendatario en la supervivencia del Derecho romano justinianeo. El A. procede al estudio de la tradición romanista en el desarrollo del ius commune por la doctrina europea medieval y moderna. Analiza la contribución de glosadores, comentaristas y sostenedores del mos italicus. Así estudia la doctrina, en el tema objeto de su análisis, de juristas portugueses y españoles de los siglos XVI y XVII, de la escuela culta, de la recepción alemana y neerlandesa, de la jurisprudencia elegante, de iusracionalistas, del usus modernus pandectarum, y de la pandectística.

Raising a Serial KillerFathers Search for AnswersIn July of 1991 the country was shocked by the unfathomable crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. But no one was more shocked than his parents. In A Fathers Story, the reader is witness to the incremental unraveling of a parents image of their child, and the thousand different reactions that follow. In his attempt to understand the nature of his sons psychosis, Lionel Dahmer methodically scrutinizes every possible contributing factor to his sons madness. His desperation is palpable as he searches for clues in the emotional, psychological, and genetic landscape of his sons life. Riveting and soul-wrenching, this unprecedented memoir is the confession of a father who must confront the saddest truth a human can know-that his child has somehow crossed the line that separates the human from the monstrous.

"[The authors] present a tour de force critique of past research and offer nothing less than a theory that ''explains all crime, at all times.'' . . . The intellectual weight of Gottfredson and Hirschi''s efforts is . . . a ''must read'' . . . provocative, brilliantly argued, and always challenging."--Robert J. Sampson, University of Chicago "Most researchers who formulate theories of crime are timid, seeking to explain a small piece of the puzzle (e.g., gangs, female delinquency) at a specific point in time. Not so with Michael Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi. In A General Theory of Crime they present a tour de force critique of the past research and offer nothing less than a theory that "explains all crime, at all times." Normally such a claim would be dimissed by criminologists as wishful thinking, perhaps worse. But the intellectual weight of Gottfredson and Hirschi''s efforts is forcing criminologists to take notice and rethink some cherished assumptions. Indeed, this book is a "must read" that is provocative, brilliantly argued, and always challenging."--University of Chicago By articulating a general theory of crime and related behavior, the authors present a new and comprehensive statement of what the criminological enterprise should be about. They argue that prevalent academic criminology--whether sociological, psychological, biological, or economic--has been unable to provide believable explanations of criminal behavior. The long-discarded classical tradition in criminology was based on choice and free will, and saw crime as the natural consequence of unrestrained human tendencies to seek pleasure and to avoid pain. It concerned itself with the nature of crime and paid little attention to the criminal. The scientific, or disciplinary, tradition is based on causation and determinism, and has dominated twentieth-century criminology. It concerns itself with the nature of the criminal and pays little attention to the crime itself. Though the two traditions are considered incompatible, this book brings classical and modern criminology together by requiring that their conceptions be consistent with each other and with the results of research. The authors explore the essential nature of crime, finding that scientific and popular conceptions of crime are misleading, and they assess th

Institutions and their history matter; and not only because they are crucial elements in explaining a countrys socio-political evolution, but also as determinant factors of economic development, wealth and prosperity.Usually, the history of institutions has been taught the point of view of legal science, an approach that made the topic little attractive and often difficult to assimilate for students of other fields such as Economics, Business Studies, Marketing and others.And precisely these groups are the ones that this book addresses. It presents, in a rigorous yet entertaining way the evolution of Spanish institutions the first human settlements in the peninsula to date and does so explaining the main points in a succinct, but well-contextualised form. For this purpose, each chapter combines the exposition of a given periods historic facts with the description of its most characteristic institutions. Each chapter then complements its content by explaining the history of one notable symbol of Spain (its flag, the different coat of arms, feasts, orders, etcetera). This modular structure, together with the presentation of the information according to its degree of relevance, allows readersdepending on their specific interests and needs, to adapt and combine the texts that compose this book as to optimise t...

In A History of Spanish Institutions the evolution of Spanish institutions from the first human settlements on the Peninsula to the present day is offered in a succinct and appropriately contextualised manner. To this end, each chapter combines a descript

The International community has expressed, with a growing consensus, that education in human rights contributes positively to their implementation. Consistent with this objective, on the 10th of December 2004, the United Nations General Assembly announced the World Programme for Human Rights Education. Higher education represents one of the two priority areas within the second phase of this global programme. Through its basic functions (research, teaching and the provision of community services), higher education institutions carry out the social responsibility of providing ethical education to citizens committed to peace building and defending human rights and democratic values. In addition, they are also committed to generating global knowledge to face the current challenges of human rights, such as eradicating poverty and discrimination, post-conflict reconstruction, sustainable development and multi-cultural understanding. However, most university institutions pay little attention to this issue and in very few cases are these objectives included in the concept of quality education. This work is the result of a European Project TEMPUS Approche basee sur des droits dans l'enseignement superieur au Maghreb (Human rights-based approach to higher education in the Maghreb - ABDEM). The project intends to contribute to enrich higher education programmes in the Maghreb region by introducing a human rights-based approach. This perspective, which is very new in all the countries, introduces considerable progress in the university institution as it intends to generate new impetus in society, that can promote democratisation and the adoption of human rights within cultural and social-political contexts in the Maghreb, from the standpoint of training, management and governance of the university institutions. This work addresses a balance of the twelve European and Maghreb institutions that participate in the project, using a new tool that consists of the construction and selection of a group of indicators. Regarding the assessment tool, indicators are devised as an input to provide knowledge and evidence in matters such as performance and good practices for decision makers in the field of Higher Education, both at the corresponding national and individual university level. As such, the indicators should contribute, not just to assess interventions, but also to provide an aggregate value so the processes leading to decisions that contribute to improving current and future activities, projects, programmes, strategies and politics linked to the integration of the Human Rights-based Approach in Higher Education.
