Abstract

Derivative criminal liability includes inchoate offenses (criminal attempt, conspiracy, preparatory offenses, etc.), complicity (joint perpetration, perpetration through another, incitement, solicitation, accessoryship, etc.), organized crime, natural and probable consequences liability, post-crime aid, enterprise liability, terrorism and terrorist infrastructure, and many more forms of criminal liability, clearly making it a major pillar of modern criminal law. Although derivative criminal liability affects countries worldwide, there is still no general legal theory that covers this issue. The objective of the present book is to develop a comprehensive, general, legally sophisticated, and at the same time practical theory of derivative criminal liability. The book emphasizes the practicality of the theory to enable courts, lawyers, legislators, attorneys, students, and academics to apply it in their daily professional occupations.

Abstract

Despite strenuous efforts from local, national, and international law enforcement, organized crime continues to thrive and prosper even centuries-old crime outfits are surviving the global forces of mass migration and multinational business and finance. From traditional gangland enterprises such as narcotics, gambling, and prostitution, the world's mafias have moved into new sources of illegal income, including high-tech arms smuggling, money laundering, and identity fraud. Traditional Crime in the Modern World tracks these organizations the Italian and Mexican mafias, Columbian drug cartels, Chinese triads, and others across five continents as they adapt to change, and assesses their prospects in the short and long term. World events such as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 terror attacks are discussed in the context of contributing to emerging markets for illicit goods and services, and to evolving partnerships among criminal entities. This timely volume: ¢ Provides a comprehensive overview of how mafia-like structures function today. ¢ Analyzes in depth national crime situations with global implications. ¢ Examines the migration of organized crime groups and their operations in their new countries. ¢ Gauges the influence of digital and other technologies on organized crime. ¢ Where applicable, notes the links between organized crime and national political institutions. ¢ Describes the impact of the global financial crisis on crime organizations. Concise, compelling, and deeply documented, Traditional Crime in the Modern World is an eye-opening resource for researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly with an interest in organized crime and trafficking, as well as related topics of Demography, Political Science, and International Relations.

Abstract

Recently  the Islamic world  is undergoing political crisis and social unrest, in no small measure due to conflict between traditionalism and modernism. At the center of this contention is the role of Sharia  in Muslim society and the keeping of order. With this global  discourse in mind, Policing  Muslim Communities: Comparative International Context examines Sharia  and  its compatability with modern law enforcement. Issues and challenges regarding policing in Sharia-based, secular, and blended Islamic communities, communities under authoritarian and military control, and Muslim communities in non-Muslim countries are discussed in the current contexts of the human rights movements and global technologies. Balancing the perspectives of policing, by Muslims, with Muslims, and of Muslims, the book:   Offers a concise summary of the normative foundations of Sharia  and its implications for policing and law enforcement. Discusses in depth policing practices in  Muslim-majority and mixed systems. Contrasts various approaches to policing, case processing, and training in today's socio-political context. Traces the effects of historical events such as the socio-political change in Muslim societies on modern law enforcement. Provides insights into the preventive/proactive role of the community as a basis for an international model of policing. Features case studies from across the Muslim world.   Timely reading that fills a major knowledge void, Policing Muslim Communities: Comparative International Context will find a wide audience among criminologists, political scientists, religious scholars,  scholars of Islam, and public policymakers.
