  • The Relationship Between Debt and Crime: a Systematic and Scoping

However, the relationship between debt and crime is still unclear and little is known about the causality of this relationship and the factors that influence it. To obtain more insight into this relationship, a systematic and scoping literature review was conducted. Five articles were analyzed in the systematic review, and 24 articles in the scoping review. The results of the systematic review show a strong association between debt and crime whereby debt is a risk factor for crime, especially for recidivism and regardless of the type of crime, and crime is a risk factor for debt. The scoping review provided additional and in-depth insight, and placed the results of the systematic review in a broader perspective. Moreover, it emphasized the prevalence of debt among offenders, regardless of age, and identified the factors that influence the relationship between debt and crime. Keywords Crime, criminal behavior, debt, debts, financial problems Introduction The relationship between socioeconomic factors and crime is a classic theme in crimino- logical literature (Dunaway et al., 2000; Ellis and McDonald, 2000; Tittle et al., 1978).

  • 'Transnational Criminal Law'?
    MFK-Mendip Job ID: 9924BK--0085-3 3 - 953 Rev: 27-11-2003 PAGE: 1 TIME: 11:20 SIZE: 61,11 Area: JNLS OP: PB ᭧ EJIL 2003 ............................................................................................. ‘Transnational Criminal Law’? Neil Boister* Abstract International criminal law is currently subdivided into international criminal law stricto sensu — the so-called core crimes — and crimes of international concern — the so-called treaty crimes. This article suggests that the latter category can be appropriately relabelled transnational criminal law to find a doctrinal match for the criminological term transnational crime. The article argues that such a relabelling is justified because of the need to focus attention on this relatively neglected system, because of concerns about the process of criminalization of transnational conduct, legitimacy in the development of the system, doctrinal weaknesses, human rights considerations, legitimacy in the control of the system, and enforcement issues. The article argues that the distinction between international criminal law and transnational criminal law is sustainable on four grounds: the direct as opposed to indirect nature of the two systems, the application of absolute universality as opposed to more limited forms of extraterritorial jurisdiction, the protection of international interests and values as opposed to more limited transnational values and interests, and the differently constituted international societies that project these penal norms. Finally, the article argues that the term transnational criminal law is apposite because it is functional and because it points to a legal order that attenuates the distinction between national and international. 1 Introduction The term ‘transnational crime’ is commonly used by criminologists, criminal justice officials and policymakers,1 but its complementary term, ‘transnational criminal law’ (TCL), is unknown to international lawyers.

  • Holistic Retributivism
    Holistic Retributivism Douglas Husakt I INTRODUCTION Many contemporary liberals make relatively little use of the concept of desert in their conceptions of distributive justice. By contrast, the con- cept of desert is absolutely central to their views about the justification of criminal punishment. Are they consistent? Samuel Scheffler hopes to find a plausible rationale for the asymmetric role played by desert in theories of distributive and retributive justice.' According to Scheffler, good reasons can be found to "de-emphasize desert in relation to distributive justice while retaining it as an element of our thinking about ... retributive justice and the function of the criminal law. 2 Why do contemporary liberals "de-emphasize" desert in their theories of distributive justice?3 The key to Scheffler's answer is that "there is a fundamental difference between the justificatory bases for claims of desert and claims of distributive justice, respectively."4 The justificatory basis for a valid desert claim must be individualistic, whereas distributive justice is holistic. In describing the basis for a desert claim as individualistic, Scheffier means that the fact that provides the basis for the desert claim must be about the person who is the subject of that claim. In describing distributive justice as holistic, Scheffler means that the justice of any assignment of benefits to particular persons always depends on the justice of the larger distribution of benefits in society.

  • The Political Construction of Collective Insecurity: from Moral Panic To
    Center for European Studies Working Paper Series 126 (October 2005) The Political Construction of Collective Insecurity: From Moral Panic to Blame Avoidance and Organized Irresponsibility by Daniel Béland Department of Sociology University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4 Fax: (403) 282-9298 E-mail: [email protected]; web page: http://www.danielbeland.org/ Abstract This theoretical contribution explores the role of political actors in the social construction of collective insecurity. Two parts comprise the article. The first one briefly defines the concept of collective insecurity and the second one bridges existing sociological and political science literatures relevant for the analysis of the politics of insecurity. This theoretical framework articulates five main claims. First, although interesting, the concept of moral panic applies only to a limited range of insecurity episodes. Second, citizens of contemporary societies exhibit acute risk awareness and, when new collective threats emerge, the logic of “organized irresponsibility” often leads citizens and interest groups alike to blame elected officials. Third, political actors mobilize credit claiming and blame avoidance strategies to respond to these threats in a way that enhances their position within the political field. Fourth, powerful interests and institutional forces as well as the “threat infrastructure” specific to a policy area create constraints and opportunities for these strategic actors. Finally, their behavior is proactive or reactive, as political actors can either help push a threat onto the agenda early, or, at a later stage, simply attempt to shape the perception of this threat after other forces have transformed it into a major political issue.

    Revealing the true cost of financial crime What’s hiding in the shadows? Focus on Latin America and the Caribbean Refinitiv | Revealing the true cost of financial crime In March 2018, Refinitiv commissioned a global survey to better understand the true cost of financial crime and to raise awareness of its wider impact on business, individuals and society as a whole. In total, over 2,300 senior managers from large organizations across 19 countries participated. We also supplemented the survey findings by conducting in-depth research and holding interviews with leading NGOs (Education Endowment Foundation, Transparency International UK and Walk Free Foundation) and the European Union’s law enforcement agency to gain perspective on the human cost of financial crime. This report specifically examines the findings in Latin America and the Caribbean. 2 Refinitiv | Revealing the true cost of financial crime About the survey For purposes of this report we have based on first-hand experience and used a wide definition of financial knowledge.

    Introduction to the Laws of Kurdistan, Iraq Working Paper Series Transnational Criminal Law Pub. 2016 Iraq Legal Education Initiative (ILEI) American University of Iraq, Sulaimani Stanford Law School Kirkuk Main Road Crown Quadrangle Raparin 559 Nathan Abbott Way Sulaimani, Iraq Stanford, CA 94305-8610 www.auis.ed.iq www.law.stanford.edu 1 Preface to the Series: Introduction to the Laws of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan Iraq and Iraq's Kurdistan Region is at a compelling juncture in their histories. In the wake of the transition to a democratic state, the country and region economy has prospered and its institutions have grown more complex. As institutional capacity has grown, so too has the need for a robust rule of law. An established rule of law can provide assurances to investors and businesses, while keeping checks on government and private powers and protecting citizens’ fundamental rights. Institutions of higher learning, such as universities and professional training centers, can and should play a key role in stimulating and sustaining this dynamic. Indeed, education is foundational. This paper is part of the Introduction to the Laws of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, a series of working papers produced by the Iraqi Legal Education Initiative (ILEI) of Stanford Law School. This series seeks to engage Iraqi students and practitioners in thinking critically about the laws and legal institutions of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Founded in 2012, ILEI is a partnership between the American University of Iraq in Sulaimani (AUIS) and Stanford Law School (SLS). The project’ seeks to positively contribute to the development of legal education and training in Iraq.

At that time, there was no Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Information-Sharing Environment, or Fusion Centers. Since the advent of these new agencies to help fight the war on terror, emphasis has been placed on cooperation and on sharing information among local, state, tribal, and federal agencies.
