Описание: This comprehensive study examines the development and changing characteristics of the judicial system and reform process over the past three decades in China. As the role of courts in society has increased so too has the amount of public complaints about the judiciary. At the same time, political control over the judiciary has retained its tight-grip. The shortcomings of the contemporary system, such as institutional deficiencies, shocking cases of injustice and cases of serious judicial corruption, are deemed quite appalling by an international audience. Using a combination of traditional modes of legal analysis, case studies, and empirical research, this study reflects upon the complex progress that China has made, and continues to make, towards the modernisation of its judicial system. Li offers a better understanding on how the judicial system has transformed and what challenges lay ahead for further enhancement. This book is unique in providing both the breadth of coverage and yet the substantive details of the most fundamental as well as controversial subjects concerning the operation of the courts in China.

Описание: Criminal Courts in Theory, Research, and Practice: A Reader features high-interest readings that focus on three specific aspects of the court system: organizational pressures, actor decision-making, and outside demands. Unlike conventional textbooks on the subject matter, this anthology emphasizes the courts as a social system and recognizes this system's influence on case processing.The readings are organized into seven sections which cover criminal court ideology, trial courts as organizations, courtroom workgroups, the early phases of case processing, sentencing, the appeals process, and the impact of appellate courts. Each section features multiple readings on the topic, thoughtfully framed by original introductions and questions that engage students in critical thinking and discussion. Of special note is the Stat Help! feature, which helps students interpret empirical findings related to the topics.With a variety of readings that includes foundational theoretical pieces, empirical research, and seminal Supreme Court cases, Criminal Courts in Theory, Research, and Practice: A Reader is well-suited to function as a primary text or reader for undergraduate courses, and a supplemental reader for those at the graduate level.

Описание: Indigenous women continue to be overrepresented in Canadian prisons; research demonstrates how their overincarceration and often extensive experiences of victimization are interconnected with and through ongoing processes of colonization. Implicating the System: Judicial Discourses in the Sentencing of Indigenous Women explores how judges navigate these issuesin sentencing by examining related discourses in selected judgments from a review of 175 decisions.The feminist theory of the victimization-criminalization continuum informs Elspeth Kaiser-Derrick's work. She examines its overlap with the Gladue analysis, foregrounding decisions that effectively integrate gendered understandings of Indigenous women's victimization histories, and problematizing those with less contextualized reasoning. Ultimately, she contends that judicial usage of the victimization-criminalization continuum deepens the Gladue analysis and augments its capacity to further its objectives of alternatives to incarceration. Kaiser-Derrick discusses how judicial discourses about victimization intersect with those about rehabilitation and treatment, and suggests associated problems, particularly where prison is characterized as a place of healing. Finally, she shows how recent incursions into judicial discretion, through legislative changes to the conditional sentencing regime that restrict the availability of alternatives to incarceration, are particularly concerning for Indigenous women in the system.
