Hardback. Zustand: New. Life imprisonment has replaced capital punishment as the most common sentence imposed for heinous crimes worldwide. As a consequence, it has become the leading issue in international criminal justice reform. In the first global survey of prisoners serving life terms, Dirk van Zyl Smit and Catherine Appleton argue for a human rights-based reappraisal of this exceptionally harsh punishment. The authors estimate that nearly half a million people face life behind bars, and the number is growing as jurisdictions both abolish death sentences and impose life sentences more freely for crimes that would never have attracted capital punishment. Life Imprisonment explores this trend through systematic data collection and legal analysis, persuasively illustrated by detailed maps, charts, tables, and comprehensive statistical appendices.The central question-can life sentences be just?-is straightforward, but the answer is complicated by the vast range of penal practices that fall under the umbrella of life imprisonment. Van Zyl Smit and Appleton contend that life imprisonment without possibility of parole can never be just. While they have some sympathy for the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, they conclude that life imprisonment, in many of the ways it is implemented worldwide, infringes on the requirements of justice. They also examine the outliers-states that have no life imprisonment-to highlight the possibility of abolishing life sentences entirely.Life Imprisonment is an incomparable resource for lawyers, lawmakers, criminologists, policy scholars, and penal-reform advocates concerned with balancing justice and public safety.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. In many jurisdictions today, life imprisonment is the most severe penalty that can be imposed. Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La cadena perpetua ha reemplazado a la pena de muerte y, actualmente, es la pena más común a nivel global para los delitos más graves. Como consecuencia, la cadena perpetua se ha convertido en un asunto de primera importancia en la reforma de la justicia penal a nivel internacional. En la primera encuesta a internos condenados a cadena perpetua que se ha llevado a nivel global, Dirk van Zyl Smit y Catherine Appleton apuestan por un reformulación de este castigo extraordinariamente duro desde la perspectiva de los derechos humanos. Se estima que cerca de medio millón de personas se enfrentan a toda una vida detrás de unos barrotes y ese n?mero se incrementará en la medida en que se contin?e aboliendo la pena de muerte y la cadena perpetua se imponga cada vez más ampliamente a delitos que nunca han sido castigados con pena de muerte. Este libro explora esta tendencia a través de un sistemático análisis legal y de datos cuantitativos, convenientemente representados en el libro a través de diversos mapas, cuadros, tablas y apéndices estadísticos. La cuestión central que ha de abordarse puede ser justa la pena de cadena perpetua? es clara pero la respuesta es compleja debido a la heterogeneidad de prácticas que pueden englobarse dentro del paraguas de la cadena perpetua. Van Zyl Smit y Appleton consideran que la cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional nunca puede ser una pena justa y sus argumentos son próximos a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Sin embargo, los autores concluyen que teniendo en cuenta cómo se implementa la cadena perpetua se están infringiendo las garantías más básicas de justicia en numerosos lugares del mundo. Por otro lado, también se presta atención a los países que no prevén la pena de cadena perpetua para subrayar que existe la posibilidad de eliminar esta pena de manera completa. El libro Cadena perpetua constituye una fuente de información incomparable para académicos, juristas, abogados, criminólogos, legisladores, y todo operador jurídico dedicado a la gran cuestión de la reforma penal en la que es necesario ponderar la justicia y la seguridad pública. Del mismo modo, esta edición cuenta con una nota introductoria, escrita por la Profesora de Derecho Penal Beatriz López Lorca, que profundiza en la situación de la cadena perpetua en España y América Latina. En 2020, la versión original en inglés de este libro, Life Imprisonment: a global human rights analysis, fue galardonada con el Premio al Libro del Año de la Sociedad Europea de Criminología y con el Premio al Mejor Libro de la Sección de Criminología Internacional de la Sociedad Americana de Criminología. Actualmente, Van Zyl Smit y Appleton continúan su investigación en el ámbito de la cadena perpetua. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
