Law Pathways and Practice

Thomas M: Criminal Law

Criminal Law

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

Roma, Hungarian, and Muslim Minorities in Central and Southeastern Europe

Legal Mobilisation for Equality

This book explores the foundations of the principle of altruism and its relationship to the criminal law, examining the contrasting justifications for the duty of easy rescue and the duty of tolerance, both of which are based on altruism. Since the days of Lord Macaulay and James FitzJames Stephen, it has been said that English law does not usually punish omissions, and that altruistic duties are incompatible with the spirit of the common law. This book aims to show that this is not an accurate description of English criminal law, and that there is a strong case to be made for the opposite understanding, based on principles advanced by authors such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and others. By analysing the duty of easy rescue - which imposes on individuals a duty to take steps to rescue a person in danger if this can be done without risk to the rescuer, or at least a duty to call the emergency services - and by comparing it with the well-known duties arising in cases of extreme necessity, it can be shown that altruism has plenty to say in different parts of the criminal law. Having established the case for criminalising the failure to provide a simple rescue, a detailed analysis is made of the form that this criminalisation should take, bearing in mind the basic principles of English law and considering the strengths and weaknesses of the duty of easy rescue as it is formulated in various continental systems, including the German, French, Spanish and Italian criminal codes.

Duties of Rescue and Tolerance

Altruism and the Criminal Law

This book investigates measures to increase diversity in the legal profession of England and Wales and the impact of equality law on what has been done, focussing on how law enables organisations lawfully to take positive or affirmative action. The book combines a qualitative interview study of lawyers, legal regulators, recruitment consultants and other civil society actors, with analysis of developments in the legal profession, in equality law and in understanding of the role of law in society. The evidence paints a puzzling picture of the law on positive action being both very little known and seen as limiting what employers do to advance equality, much as significant positive action has been taken anyway, at least in this section of the legal profession. The glimpse into legal practice revealed complex attitudes, persistent barriers to fundamental change, and, in hindsight, that the larger forces driving inequality mean that liberalizing positive action laws was never likely to make much difference. This case study therefore cautions against overestimating equality law's power to deliver change while putting forward strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. At the broadest level, the book argues for frank acknowledgment of law's limitations, a stronger focus on understanding how legal interventions function in practice before deploying them, and for the full implications of law's limits to be traced through in politics and society. The urgent need is for renewed effort to discover and build other mechanisms for addressing inequality and the many other major challenges we currently face.

Diversity in the Legal Profession

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.

Covering Crime in the Safest State in the Nation

The Art Law Library

This open access book offers a unique perspective on the return of cultural objects by considering the aftermath of the handover processes. While calls for the repatriation of heritage have been made since the start of the decolonisation process, it is only in recent years that the debate on returning cultural objects has gained widespread prominence. This has been followed by ongoing efforts from several countries to change the legislation, adopt principles, and invest in provenance research to turn repatriation into a more proactive mechanism. The book tells the story of cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In addition to in-depth analysis of relevant laws and policies, each of the case studies integrates interviews with those who were directly involved in those return processes, as well as those who were impacted by them, including museum staff, government representatives and community members. The book presents previously unheard insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes. By doing so, it offers possible lessons to be learnt for future returns. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence at Sentencing

Punished by Algorithm

The first history of US federal law enforcement from the nation's founding to the creation of the Justice Department in 1870, showing how federal prosecutions have always been shaped by local institutions and interests. The public imagines the Department of Justice and its agencies as mighty juggernauts. The reality is strikingly different. The FBI is barely larger than the Chicago Police Department, federal courts handle far fewer cases than state courts do, and federal prosecutors rely heavily on state and municipal authorities. The feds cannot function without local support, which means that the projects on which DOJ intervention is most needed-the ones that local communities oppose or don't care about-are also those least likely to succeed. This is no accident. Fragile Authority shows that this weakness is built into the structure of federal enforcement. To understand why, Daniel Richman traces the present-day workings of the DOJ all the way back to the nation's founding. The system was so circumscribed at the start that districts went years without a single conviction; enforcement efforts were often just performances of sovereignty for foreign audiences. And while a stronger enforcement apparatus emerged from the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, its protection of Black civil rights during Reconstruction lasted only a few years before the federal retreat. After its creation in 1870, the Justice Department concealed its limitations by turning the agendas of local police-such as prosecuting gangsters, car thefts, and prostitution-into ostensibly national priorities. For better and for worse, federal law enforcement missions without local buy-in remain rare and difficult to sustain. The resistance to President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in sanctuary jurisdictions showed yet again that this norm is not easily broken.

Criminal Practice Series

This single volume explains the civil recovery regime under POCA 2002 in the magistrates' court for professionals. POCA 2002, Pt 5 contains the relevant primary legislation and includes the provisions that deal with the recovery of cash, listed assets, and bank accounts. There is considerable overlap in the principles and procedures that UK law enforcement must follow; from initial searches to the seizure and detention/freeze of assets before submitting an eventual forfeiture application. Providing expert commentary on POCA 2002, Pt 5 and the principles and procedures that must be followed this title ensures that practitioners can provide practical guidance to individuals and corporates and includes all the relevant statutory provisions, rules, codes and forms. It answers questions such as: - Why would a client's bank account be frozen? - If HMRC successfully applies to freeze a client's bank account, how can I get the court order discharged? - If my client's cash is seized, how can I practically advise a client to get the funds returned? - If my client is subject to a criminal investigation and a civil investigation, how should I advise them? - If my client's bank accounts are frozen, how can everyday expenses, including paying legal fees, be met? This is a must have title for Financial crime legal professionals, Accountants, Compliance officers, Fraud analysts, Cyber security experts, and Anti-bribery and corruption specialists.
