Criminal Justice and the Pursuit of Truth by Hillier, Tim,Dingwall, Gavin Pdf

Can the criminal justice system achieve justice based on its ability to determine the truth? Drawing on a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, this book investigates the concept of truth – its complexities and nuances – and scrutinizes how well the criminal justice process facilitates truth-finding. From allegation to sentencing, the chapters take the reader on a journey through the criminal justice system, exposing the marginalization of truth-finding in favour of other jurisprudential or systemic values, such as expediency, procedural fairness and the presumption of innocence. This important work bridges the gap between what people expect from the criminal justice system and what it can legitimately deliver.

Victims' Rights, Human Rights and Criminal Justice by Jonathan Doak Pdf

In recent times, the idea of 'victims' rights' has come to feature prominently in political, criminological and legal discourse, as well as being subject to regular media comment. The concept nevertheless remains inherently elusive, and there is still considerable ambiguity as to the origin and substance of such rights. This monograph deconstructs the nature and scope of the rights of victims of crime against the backdrop of an emerging international consensus on how victims ought to be treated and the role they ought to play. The essence of such rights is ascertained not only by surveying the plethora of international standards which deal specifically with crime victims, but also by considering the potential cross-applicability of standards relating to victims of abuse of power, with whom they have much in common. In this book Jonathan Doak considers the parameters of a number of key rights which international standards suggest victims ought to be entitled to. He then proceeds to ask whether victims are able to rely upon such rights within a domestic criminal justice system characterised by structures, processes and values which are inherently exclusionary, adversarial and punitive in nature.

The Right to The Truth in International Law by Melanie Klinkner,Howard Davis Pdf

The United Nations has established a right to the truth to be enjoyed by victims of gross violations of human rights. The origins of the right stem from the need to provide victims and relatives of the missing with a right to know what happened. It encompasses the verification and full public disclosure of the facts associated with the crimes from which they or their relatives suffered. The importance of the right to the truth is based on the belief that, by disclosing the truth, the suffering of victims is alleviated. This book analyses the emergence of this right, as a response to an understanding of the needs of victims, through to its development and application in two particular legal contexts: international human rights law and international criminal justice. The book examines in detail the application of the right through the case law and jurisprudence of international tribunals in the human rights and also the criminal justice context, as well as looking at its place in transitional justice. The theoretical foundations of the right to the truth are considered as well as the various objectives appropriate for different truth-seeking mechanisms. The book then goes on to discuss to what extent it can be understood, constructed and applied as a hard, legally enforceable right with correlating duties on various people and institutions including state agencies, prosecutors and judges.

Truth Commissions by Greg Grandin,Thomas Miller Klubock Pdf

This special issue of Radical History Review looks at the different kinds of history produced by truth commissions organized to investigate political violence, state terror, and human rights violations around the globe and examines how these histories elide or confront social inequality and political violence. The essays consider the tensions implicit in the multiple mandates of truth commissions: to establish historical truths, to recognize the experiences of victims, to effect social and political reconciliation, and to reestablish the legitimacy of the nation-state at a time of market-driven globalization. The issue also addresses difficulties faced by the commissions, such as limitations on the use and nature of evidence, oral testimony, and archival documentation. Comparative in nature, this collection includes essays on Chile's long history of amnesties, pardons, and commissions organized to uncover past episodes of political violence; the dissemination and use of the historical findings of the Guatemalan Commission for Historical Clarification; and internal tensions in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which sought to recover the memories of the victims of apartheid. Several shorter essays offer reflections on U.S. commissions related to the country's history of racial violence, Cold War imperialism, and Vietnam War atrocities and on the findings of the 9/11 Commission report.

In a world where the scales of justice teeter on the delicate balance of truth and perception, "Criminal Justice: Prosecution, Research, and the Flaws in an Imperfect System" embarks on a riveting exploration of the intricate web that defines our legal landscape. Brace yourself for a journey through the corridors of prosecution, where the pursuit of truth collides with the inherent imperfections of a system designed to mete out justice.

As the scales tip and tremble, the reader is invited to question, challenge, and confront the very essence of a system that wields the power to shape lives.

In a society that yearns for justice, this book serves as a compass, guiding readers through the shadows cast by an imperfect system.

Introduction to Trial of Alex Murdaugh by Gilad James, PhD Pdf

The trial of Alex Murdaugh, a prominent South Carolina attorney, began on October 4th, 2021. Murdaugh is facing three charges related to an alleged scheme to have himself killed in order to collect $10 million in life insurance proceeds for his son. The scheme backfired when the hired hitman instead shot Murdaugh in the head, but he survived and later confessed to the authorities. The trial is set to take place in Hampton County, where the shooting occurred in September 2018. The trial is expected to draw national attention due to the high-profile nature of the case and the involvement of a prominent legal family in South Carolina. Murdaugh comes from a family of attorneys and was a partner at a prestigious law firm before being forced to resign following allegations of embezzlement. The trial is also notable for the role of Mallory Beach, a young woman who was killed in a boating accident while in the company of Murdaugh's son, Paul. The death of Beach has led to speculation about possible links to the alleged insurance fraud scheme, although no charges have been filed in relation to her death.
