The first part of Dual Penal State investigated various ways in which criminal law doctrine and scholarship (or “science”) have failed to address the challenge of legitimating penal power in a modern liberal democratic state. This, second, part explores an alternative approach to criminal law discourse that puts the legitimacy challenge of modern penal law front and center: critical analysis of criminal law in a dual penal state. Dual penal state analysis differentiates between penal law and penal police, two conceptions of penal power, and state power more generally, rooted in autonomy, equality, and interpersonal respect, on one hand, and in heteronomy, hierarchy, and patriarchal power, on the other. Chapter 4 applies the distinction between law and police as fundamental modes of governance set out in Chapter 3 to the penal realm and explores the tension between penal law and penal police as constituting the dual penal state.

The difference between intent (dolus) and negligence (culpa) was rarely emphasized in codified medieval laws and regulations. When compared to the legal statements related to intent, negligence was mentioned even more rarely. However, there are some laws that distinguished between the two concepts in terms of some specific crimes, such as arson. This paper draws attention to three medieval Slavic legal documents – the Zakon Sudnyj LJudem (ZSLJ), the Vinodol Law and the Statute of Senj. They are compared with reference to regulations regarding arson, with the focus being on arson as a crime committed intentionally or out of negligence. The ZSLJ as the oldest known Slavic law in the world shows some similarities with other medieval Slavic legal codes, especially in the field of criminal law, since most of the ZSLJ’s articles are related to criminal law. On the other hand, the Vinodol Law is the oldest preserved Croatian law and it is among the oldest Slavic codes in the world. It was written in 1288 in the Croatian Glagolitic script and in the Croatian Chakavian dialect. The third document – the Statute of Senj – regulated legal matters in the Croatian littoral town of Senj. It was written in 1388 – exactly a century after the Vinodol Law was proclaimed. When comparing the Vinodol Law and the Statute of Senj with the Zakon Sudnyj LJudem, there are clear differences and similarities, particularly in the field of criminal law. Within the framework of criminal offenses, the act of arson is important for making a distinction between intent and negligence. While the ZSLJ regulates different levels of guilt, the Vinodol Law makes no difference between dolus and culpa. On the other hand, the Statute of Senj strictly refers to negligence as a punishable crime. Even though the ZSLJ is almost half a millennium older than the Statute of Senj and around 400 years older than the Vinodol Law, this paper proves that the ZSLJ defines the guilt and the punishment for arson much better than the other two laws.

This study discusses the forms of crime in the context of criminal acts or the comparison of criminal acts (same loop) that occur in society. This happens where one person commits a crime, but it is not uncommon for one person to commit several functional crimes at the same time in the same place. On the other hand, there is also one person who determines the number of crimes at different times in different locations which in criminal law is known as the term of criminal acts or sharing criminal acts (same loop) or in Dutch is same loop van Strafbare Feiten. This study uses a normative method using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are three forms of criminal acts namely Concursus Idialis, continuing actions and realist Concursus while the penal system in the proportion of criminal acts can be applied to three methods, namely Stelsel absorption, cumulative Stelsel, and limited cumulative Stelsel.Keywords: criminal code; criminal system; joint crime. AbstrakPenelitian ini membahas tentang bentuk-bentuk kejahatan perbarengan perbuatan pidana atau perbarengan tindak pidana (samenloop) yang terjadi di dalam masyarakat. Hal tersebut bisa terjadi dimana satu orang melakukan satu kejahatan tapi tidak jarang terjadi satu orang melakukan beberapa kejahatan baik dalam waktu yang sama di tempat yang sama. Disisi lain, ada juga satu orang yang melakukan beberapa kejahatan pada waktu yang berbeda di tempat yang berbeda pula yang dalam hukum pidana dikenal dengan istilah perbarengan perbuatan pidana atau perbarengan tindak pidana (samenloop) atau dalam bahasa belanda ialah sameloop van strafbare feiten. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif, dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga bentuk perbarengan tindak pidana yaitu concursus idialis, perbuatan berlanjut dan concursus realis sedangkan sistem pemidanaan dalam perbarengan tindak pidana dapat diterapkan tiga stelsel yaitu stelsel absorpsi, stelsel kumulasi dan stelsel kumulasi terbatas.Kata kunci: KUHP; sistem pemidanaan; perbarengan tindak pidana.

The current study aims to discuss and investigate one of the most prominent and important issues that has been in constant debate in all the previous researches and studies dine in the scope of criminal law ; especially those regarding the juridical construction relating to the terrorism cases. The main attempt of this research is to evaluate the criminal policy of the Libyan Legislation issuing law no.3 for the year 2014 concerning Terrorism combating. Disregarding the recent issuing of the law in subject, the above-mentioned law is of great importance due to its high concern of the juridical apparatus of combating terrorism. However, what makes a wonder herewith is the Libyan legislation has been taking a step backwards when the law (4) was issued in 2017 in regarding of the amendment of the provisions of both the Military Penal Code and the Code of Military Procedures which has already mandated the judiciary of offenders of terrorism according to the terms identified in Article 3. Herewith, the perception of the effectiveness and functionality of the above-mentioned law is not possible without paying the attention to reviewing the jurisdiction from one hand and the working conditions of the judges from the other hand. However, the good conduct of the judges’ work depends heavily on doing several improvements for these apparatus, in addition to promoting the juridical capabilities by supporting these apparatus with the modern facilities, utilizing the experience of the developed countries in this regard. Therefore, the prospects are addressed to developing the juridical construction properly according to the principles of the defense rights and the fair trial as these principles are the constitution fundamentals and the traits of the criminal-justice system.

The article substantiates the view that approved on the 9th of January 2009 by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Latvian Republic, the concept of policy of criminal penalties and adopted on the 13th of December 2013 by the Saeima, the numerous changes in the Criminal Law (CL), should be considered as the beginning of the reform of criminal law of Latvia. In particular, in CL, now is written the principle non bis in idem, the prohibited analogy in the criminal law, from the criminal law is excluded the institute of repetition of criminal acts in all its forms and thereby the scope of application of real set of acts. The author of the article points out that were developed also the other draft amendments and supplements in the CL, for example, regarding the special confiscation of property, the expansion of the content of the estimating concept of essential damage, the other interpretation of criminal acts in the road traffic is suggested, as well as the other forms of guilt in the criminal acts with the complex composition.

The Relationship

Abstract This chapter explores the relationship between tort law and criminal law. In particular it tracks one line of developments in the procedural co-ordination of criminal and civil law: the ability of criminal courts to award compensation for harm. It is a study of legal change or development: how and why law has evolved from the middle of the nineteenth century through to the present day. The chapter is also comparative, looking at the English and Spanish legal systems. The history of powers to compensate has highlighted two fundamentally different ways to resolve claims based on a concurrently tortious and criminal wrong. The English system has slowly moved from disparate and piecemeal provisions to a general if under-theorised system. On the other hand, Spain created a novel and complete system of liability to be administered by the criminal courts. This chapter seeks to trace and explain this development with a view to understanding how much civil and criminal law can perform the same function: compensation.

AbstractAfter some introductory remarks on the German legal system and German legal politics, the main forms of datanet crime on the Internet are sketched. After that, one of the most important Internet-cases of the last decade, the CompuServe case, is discussed in some detail. One of the main problems of datanet crime is its global reach. The world-spanning nature of the cyberspace significantly enlarges the ability of offenders to commit crimes that will affect people in a variety of other countries. On the other hand, the jurisdiction of national criminal law cannot be expanded at will by any single nation. A transnational criminal law for the Internet is possible but should be restricted to the defence of universally (or nearly universally) accepted interests and values. In effect, it seems that the problems of computer-related crime on the Internet cannot be solved by criminal law alone.

Speech Events

Abstract Over the years, linguists have borrowed from other allied fields, including speech events from cultural anthropology, schema theory from psychology, speech acts from philosophy, and conversational strategies from rhetoric. In analyzing large and continuous chunks of conversational data, the first and most important of these borrowings is the speech event, for it sets the stage in which the other language elements are embedded and provides a useful sequence for analyzing everything else, including the conventional linguistic tools of the grammar and lexicon. The present paper represents the optimal sequence of analysis as an Inverted Pyramid, starting with the speech event and then moving down the order to schemas, agendas, speech acts, conversational strategies, and finally to the grammar and lexicon that are embedded within each other. Two prominent criminal law investigations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Inverted Pyramid approach for understanding this evidence.
