Depuis une trentaine d'années, dans le sillage de travaux sur l'histoire de la criminalité puis de la justice pénale, l'histoire des peines suscite un intérêt renouvelé. Les discours critiques de la fin du XVIIIe siècle comme les innovations pénales qu'ils engendrent ont fait l'objet de multiples recherches. Le moment semble venu pour un essai de structuration et de comparaison sur le temps long. Il s'agit dans cet ouvrage de reprendre l'histoire des peines dans une perspective intégrée et comparatiste. Cette approche, attentive aux travaux sur les peines médiévales, modernes et contemporaines s'appuie principalement sur les pratiques. Une première partie étudie l'évolution chronologique des systèmes de peines sur la longue durée. Un deuxième volet concerne la fonction du système de peines. Enfin, l'étude de ce système permet de comprendre selon quels mécanismes un type de peine parvient à s'imposer et à remplacer un autre type comme modèle punitif dans une société donnée.

Winner, 2017 Oliver Cromwell Cox Book AwardA thorough and captivating exploration of how mass incarceration and law and order policies of the past forty years have transformed immigration and border enforcementCriminal prosecutions for immigration offenses have more than doubled over the last two decades, as national debates about immigration and criminal justice reforms became headline topics. What lies behind this unprecedented increase? From Deportation to Prison unpacks how the incarceration of over two million people in the United States gave impetus to a federal immigration initiative—The Criminal Alien Program (CAP)—designed to purge non-citizens from dangerously overcrowded jails and prisons. Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic and archival research, the findings in this book reveal how the Criminal Alien Program quietly set off a punitive turn in immigration enforcement that has fundamentally altered detention, deportation, and criminal prosecutions for immigration offenses.Patrisia Macías-Rojas presents a “street-level” perspective on how this new regime has serious lived implications for the day-to-day actions of Border Patrol agents, local law enforcement, civil and human rights advocates, and for migrants and residents of predominantly Latina/o border communities.

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la grâce a pris une place de choix dans le paysage de l'histoire de la justice à la fin du Moyen Âge et aux débuts de l'époque moderne. Tirant parti de sources d'une grande richesse, les historiens ont montré que la clémence est le complément indispensable de la sévérité dans l'exercice de la justice du XIIIe au XVIIe siècle. Ils ont ainsi nuancé l'image d'une justice médiévale expéditive et sanguinaire. Mieux, ils ont montré que si l'intransigeance des juges est affirmée dans les textes normatifs, la pratique judiciaire se fonde plus sur l'exercice du pardon que sur la force du bourreau. Par ailleurs, l'historiographie récente a mis en avant la manière dont les pratiques de grâce sont un instrument politique de la croissance de l'État et de l'affirmation de sa souveraineté. À travers les huit contributions de ce volume, de jeunes chercheurs en histoire analysent cette place déterminante de la grâce dans la justice médiévale et moderne.

This book examines the activities of a broad array of police officers in Ptolemaic Egypt (323-30 BC) and argues that Ptolemaic police officials enjoyed great autonomy, providing assistance to even the lowest levels of society when crimes were committed. Throughout the nearly 300 years of Ptolemaic rule, victims of crime in all areas of the Egyptian countryside called on local police officials to investigate crimes; hold trials; and arrest, question and sometimes even imprison wrongdoers. Drawing on a large body of textual evidence for the cultural, social and economic interactions between state and citizen, John Bauschatz demonstrates that the police system was efficient, effective, and largely independent of central government controls. No other law enforcement organization exhibiting such a degree of autonomy and flexibility appears in extant evidence from the rest of the Greco-Roman world.

Où s'achève le délit ? Où commence le crime ? Avant d'appréhender la question de la criminalité, ce phénomène inhérent à toute société humaine, les détenteurs de l'autorité, au cours du Moyen Âge, cherchent à qualifier le crime plus précisément, à partir des données juridiques - coutumières, canoniques et civiles dont ils disposent. Le crime désigné, des mesures de prévention tentent de réduire le nombre des criminels potentiels. Grande confiance est faite à l'éducation, celle des parents, dès la première enfance, celle des hommes d'Église auprès de leurs ouailles? celle que déploient aux yeux des citoyens les diverses pénalités publiquement infligées. Des contraintes policières visent à désarmer les populations et à réduire les déplacements ou les rassemblements suspects. L'ensemble de cette prévention comporte toutefois des lacunes liées aux manques de moyens ou aux principes qui l'inspirent. Quand la prévention a échoué, la justice s'abat sur les criminels. Une gamme très ouverte de pénalités, privilégiant les peines corporelles, gradue finement la signification de sanctions, de la simple compensation d'un dol à la marque d'infamie qui exclut définitivement le coupable, de la fustigation à la mutilation, voire à la peine capitale. Les variantes observées dans l'application de ces peines sont motivées par des considérations philosophiques, religieuses et politiques où entrent des débats sur l'intention, le niveau de conscience et de responsabilité, de caractère dangereux et pervers du criminel et même - avant l'ère de la toute puissance médiatique - des réflexions sur l'aspect scandaleux du crime. Plus l'Etat s'organise comme le garant de la paix, de l'ordre, du Bien Commun, plus les pénalités véhiculent un message à la fois politique et théologique. Assimilé au pécheur, au rebelle contre Dieu, le criminel ne doit pas seulement payer une dette, il doit demander son pardon, se purger d'une faute majeure contre la souveraineté du prince et contre son Créateur.

"Uncivil Disobedience examines the roles violence and terrorism have played in the exercise of democratic ideals in America. Jennet Kirkpatrick explores how crowds, rallying behind the principle of popular sovereignty and desiring to make law conform to justice, can disdain law and engage in violence. She exposes the hazards of democracy that arise when citizens seek to control government directly, and demonstrates the importance of laws and institutions as limitations on the will of the people." "Kirkpatrick looks at some of the most explosive instances of uncivil disobedience in American history: the contemporary militia movement, Southern lynch mobs, frontier vigilantism, and militant abolitionism. She argues that the groups behind these violent episodes are often motivated by admirable democratic ideas of popular power and autonomy. Kirkpatrick shows how, in this respect, they are not so unlike the much-admired adherents of nonviolent civil disobedience, yet she reveals how those who engage in violent disobedience use these admirable democratic principles as a justification for terrorism and killing. She uses a "bottom-up" analysis of events to explain how this transformation takes place, paying close attention to what members of these groups do and how they think about the relationship between citizens and the law." "Uncivil Disobedience calls for a new vision of liberal democracy where the rule of the people and the rule of law are recognized as fundamental ideals, and where neither is triumphant or transcendent."--BOOK JACKET.
