The presence of witnesses in the evidence is the keyword in disclosing the facts of criminal cases. The crown witness is often present at court. However, there are many differences of opinion in the Jurisprudence regarding the use of crown witnesses in court because there is no legal regulation that explicitly regulates the use of crown witnesses in criminal justice. Based on these problems, this study described how the protection of the rights of defendants as crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence and how the position of crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence. This research was designed using a normative legal research method and a conceptual approach. In the Criminal Procedure Code, there is no prohibition for a defendant to provide information for other defendants as far as using a splitsing system so that defendants who are crown witnesses still receive legal protection. The decision of the Supreme Court Number 1942 K / PID / 2012 which in its verification process used a crown witness. In this case, the public prosecutor presented the crown witness due to the lack of evidence especially witness testimony evidence. The role of the crown witness is very important to uncover criminal events because the defendant knows, sees, and commits criminal theft with violence. The result of this study showed that the protection of the rights of the defendant as a crown witness is equated with the rights of the defendant in general, which is regulated in Article 50 to Article 68 of the Criminal Procedure Code and witness rights set out in Article 5 of Law Number 31 of 2014. The position of the crown witness is justified in proof-based on the Circular Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia Number B-69 / E / 02/1997 of 1997 concerning Proof Law in Criminal Cases.

The research issue focuses on the examination of crown witnesses in the process of establishing criminal cases in Indonesia. The examination of the crown witnesses is necessary because law enforcement officers find it difficult to find evidence, other than the testimony of witnesses of the perpetrators themselves in order to find material truth that can be justified. The result of the research shows that the role of the crown witness in the criminal prosecution process is very significant, that is to find the material truth, so that the fast and simple proof process fulfills the minimum standard of proof, upholds public justice against the perpetrators and determines the demands of each actor in accordance with its role. The need for legal protection against the crown witness and the need for a policy of reform of criminal procedure law through the refinement of the Criminal Procedure Code relating to the content of witness material of the crown firmly and limitatively in the future.

The crown witness in the narcotics crime case is the main witness to reveal the crime. The use of crown witnesses is very important because in this criminal act it is very difficult to find witnesses who can explain the chronology of a case because there are no victims and more than one perpetrator. The application of the Penalty in the Decision is a violation of Article 114 of the Narcotics Law. both defendants were guilty of violating Article 114 paragraph (1) of Law Jo, Article 132 paragraph (1) of Law no. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

This research discusses the issue of Legal Protection for Crown Witnesses in the Criminal Case Investigation Process.The results showed that the implementation of protection for crown witnesses was considered to have been implemented. This can be seen from the many forms of protection that can be provided to witnesses, especially crown witnesses, in the form of physical, psychological and legal protection. Physical and psychological protection is in the form of protection for personal safety and freedom from threats and pressure from other parties. Meanwhile, the form of legal protection in the form of witnesses cannot be prosecuted legally, either criminal or civil, for their testimony and special handling for witnesses who are also perpetrators of the same crime (crown witness). This shows that there is an effort to realize the legal rules regarding legal protection for crown witnesses. In order to achieve better legal protection for crown witnesses, it is necessary to increase the socialization of legal rules related to witness protection to the public so that the public will better understand that there is a mechanism of legal rules regulating the protection of a crown witness. Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas masalah Perlindungan Hukum terhadap Saksi Mahkota dalam Proses Pemeriksaan Perkara Pidana. Selanjutnya data yang diperoleh baik melalui studi kepustakaan maupun hasil wawancara dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, pelaksanaan perlindungan terhadap saksi mahkota dinilai telah terlaksana hal ini dapat di lihat dari banyaknya bentuk perlindungan yang dapat diberikan kepada saksi khususnya saksi mahkota, baik dalam bentuk perlindungan fisik, psikis maupun hukum. Bentuk perlindungan fisik dan psikis berupa Perlindungan atas keamanan diri serta bebas dari ancaman dan tekanan pihak lain. Sedangkan bentuk perlindungan hukum berupa Saksi tidak dapat dituntut secara hukum baik pidana maupun perdata atas kesaksiannya dan Penanganan secara khusus bagi saksi yang juga pelaku tindak pidana yang sama (saksi mahkota). Hal ini menunjukkan adanya upaya realisasi dari aturan-aturan hukum tentang perlindungan hukum terhadap saksi mahkota. Untuk mewujutkan perlindungan hukum terhadap saksi mahkota yang lebih baik perlu adanya upaya peningkatan sosialisasi aturan-aturan hukum terkait perlindungan saksi kepada masyarakat dengan demikian masyarakat akan lebih memahami bahwa ada suatu mekanisme aturan hukum yang mengatur perlindungan terhadap seorang saksi mahkota.

Full textAbstract:
The absence of a clear normative interpretation related to witnesses who are also criminal perpetrators in the Indonesian court has controversy on the theoretical level. In practice, the practitioners adopt a concept known in other countries. However, in adopting ideas from other countries, practitioners are often trapped in practitioners’ paradigms. Translating the perpetrators’ witnesses such as crown witnesses, justice collaborators (JC), and whistleblowers (wb,) are not the concepts comprehensively. In the end, the witness being denied the rights of the perpetrators, namely right non-self-incrimination. The paper offers a concept for finding solutions in the use of witnesses who are also as criminal perpetrators in epistemological basis. These considerations are used to provide a coherent way based on the principle to justify the use of witness evidence from the criminal perpetrators. The purpose is to accord with the principle of due process of law, not to clash the principle of non-self-incrimination in proving the search of material truth.

Full textAbstract:
Kronvittnessystem har vid ett flertal tillfällen diskuterats i svensk politik som en möjlig åtgärd i arbetet mot organiserad brottslighet. Ett kronvittne är en person som vittnar om sin egen eller andras brottslighet och på grund av detta erhåller ett mildare straff för sina brott. Flera andra länder använder sig av kronvittnessystem på grund av de nyttor som finns med det, men forskning visar att det även finns problem med systemet. Syftet med denna studie är att besvara frågan vad kriminella personer har för uppfattning om att kronvittna i ett kronvittnessystem. Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med före detta kriminella med erfarenhet av organiserad brottslighet. Resultaten visade att det fanns många aspekter av att kronvittna som skulle leda till problem. Det mest framträdande resultatet var bilden av det hot och våld som blir en effekt mot den person som kronvittnar, samt mot denna persons familj och vänner. Det rådde stor konsensus om att ett kronvittnessystem är farligt för människor och för med sig svåra konsekvenser. Resultaten pekar på att kriminella personer inte vill se ett kronvittnessystem införas i Sverige.Crown witness systems have previously been discussed in Swedish politics as a possible way to fight organized crime. A crown witness, or supergrass, is a person who in return for giving information about his or her own crime or another person’s crime, is rewarded with a penalty discount. Many other countries use crown witness methods because of the positive things with doing so, but studies also show that there are problems with such a procedure. The purpose of this study is to answer the question what opinions criminals have about being a crown witness/accomplice witness within a crown witness system. The method that was used was interviews with former criminals who had experience regarding organized crime. The results showed that there are many aspects of testifying as a crown witness that would lead to problems. The most important result was that the crown witness and its family and friends would as an affect of the testimony be subjects of threats and violence against them. It was agreed that a crown witness system is dangerous for people and lead to severe consequences. The results indicate that criminals do not want to see a crown witness system be incorporated in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
Le témoignage oral, depuis toujours, occupe, en tant qu'élément de preuve, une place au sein de la procédure pénale française. Pourtant, il n'a cessé de faire l'objet de critiques, ravivées par l'émergence de la preuve scientifique dans le procès pénal contemporain, car considéré comme faillible en raison de sa nature humaine. Cette affirmation repose, notamment, sur un postulat anachronique consistant à considérer le témoignage oral comme unitaire, au travers du seul prisme de sa source, l'homme, cantonné au seul témoin, tel que défini par les règles de procédure, alors qu'il présente en réalité un caractère dual. Or, c'est de cette méconnaissance, conduisant à une appréhension attentatoire à la valeur probatoire du témoignage oral, qu'émergent les objections à son encontre et qui soulèvent la question de sa nécessité dans le procès pénal, quand cette dernière ne devrait souffrir aucune hésitation, non seulement parce que le témoignage oral s'avère un élément de preuve utile à la recherche et à l'établissement de la vérité judiciaire mais également parce qu'il illustre et renforce les principes directeurs du procès pénal, tels qu'édictés par le législateur français et la Convention européenne des Droits de l'HommeOral testimony has always been taken up as an element of evidence in the French criminal proceedings. However considered as unreliable because human, it hasn't ceased to be the subject of critics, lately revived with the emergence of scientific proof within contemporary penal trial. This statement is based on the anachronistic postulate that oral testimony, considered through the only view of the witness as defined by the procedural rules, is unity, whereas indeed it does present a dual character. The probationary value of oral testimony is suffering from this lack or recognition and its necessity within criminal procedure is also being questioned when there should be no hesitation whatsoever with regard to its use. In fact, oral testimony is not just a useful element of proof when trying to establish the truth, it does also illustrate and strengthen the governing principles of penal trial such as promulgated by the French legislator and the European convention of Human Rights

Cooperating defendant Abstract The cooperating defendant represents a relatively new instrument of Czech criminal law, it was introduced into the Czech legal system with effect from 1 January 2010. The main purpose of this legal instrument is to fight organized crime, which is characterized by its high social danger and is extremely difficult to combat for law enforcement agencies due to the considerable sophistication of the internal hierarchy of organized criminal groups. The legal instrument consists of the cooperation of the defendant with a public prosecutor, who designates them as a cooperating defendant in the indictment in exchange for information capable of making a significant contribution to the uncovering of organized criminal groups. The cooperating defendant is rewarded for their cooperation with a mitigation of their sentence and the sentence may even be dropped altogether. The first chapter of this thesis analyzes the terms of cooperating defendant and crown witness, describes the process of introducing the legal instrument of cooperating defendant into the Czech legal system and also mentions some similar legal instruments. The second chapter deals with the current legislation, some of its shortcomings and their possible solutions. The third chapter lists some of the most important benefits...

Full textAbstract:
W art. 60 § 3 i 4 k.k. z 1997 roku ustawodawca do porządku prawnego wprowadził instytucję tzw. małego świadka koronnego. Jej celem było skuteczniejsze oraz bardziej efektywne ujawnianie i zwalczanie przestępczości zorganizowanej. Poprzez współpracę sprawców tej kategorii przestępczej działalności z organami ścigania regulacja stworzyła jeden z wyjątkowych i optymalnych instrumentów prawnych umożliwiających zwalczanie przestępczości grupowej. Regulacja nierzadko prezentowana byłą jako „zło”, ale zło „konieczne”. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje fakt, iż instytucja tzw. małego świadka koronnego ma współcześnie zarówno wielu oponentów jak i zwolenników. Sprawcy przestępstwa uzyskują określone przywileje (nadzwyczajne złagodzenie kary) w zamian za informacje dotyczące osób uczestniczących w popełnieniu przestępstwa i jego okoliczności. Na przestrzeni lat poświęcono tej tematyce wiele publikacji, aczkolwiek większość jedynie w sposób fragmentaryczny lub uboczny. Niewątpliwie nadal brak jest w literaturze opracowań omawiających kompleksowo tę problematykę. Wybór obszaru badawczego uzasadniony jest wiec dążeniem do uzupełnienia istniejącej w polskiej literaturze prawniczej luki, po części spowodowanej zarówno specyfiką i kontrowersyjnością analizowanych norm prawnych, jak i marginalizowaniem tej instytucji na płaszczyźnie wyjątkowości tego źródła pozyskiwania przestępczej wiedzy.In the article 60 § 3 and 4 of Polish penal code from year 1997 the legislator has implemented into legal order the institution of minor crown witness. Its purpose was efficient and more effective revealing and eradication of organised crime. Through the cooperation of violators from this category of criminal activity with the pursuers it has became one of the extraordinary and optimal instruments of jurisdiction allowing the fight against organised crime. The regulation has been presented as "evil" but "necessary" evil. For particular attention deserves fact that the institution of minor crown witness has simultaneously as many supporters as opponents. The violators regain certain benefits (extraordinary alleviation of punishment) in exchange for informations about people participating in commiting a crime and its circumstances. Over the years many publications were dedicated to this problem, yet in a marginal or fragmentary manner. Undoubtedly, in the literature it is impossible to find a complex elaboration on this subject. The choice of the scientific area is then justified by the pursuance to complete the existing in polish juridical literature gap, partially caused by the specificity and controversial nature of analysed legal standards, as well as marginalising this institution on the behalf of uniqueness of this source of gathering criminal knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA plea bargaining system is a novelty and originally a legal transplant in Northern European countries. It exists—in some form—for instance in Finland, Norway and Denmark, whereas in Sweden only the system of crown witnesses is likely to be introduced. In this chapter plea bargaining is put into the East-Nordic—Finnish and Swedish—contexts. How does plea bargaining fit into the East-Nordic court culture? Which ingredients does the contemporary legal culture consist of? In which way is court culture changing due to the new values in the society? Or are the amendments made primarily to reduce the costs of the state? Fairness, procedural justice, conflict resolution, negotiated law, pragmatically acceptable compromise, procedural truth, court service, communication and interaction are examples of the topics that are currently discussed in Finland and Sweden. At the same time, the use of written proceedings and proceedings in the absence of an accused are increasing. Is the plea bargaining system a step towards a more effective and economic criminal procedural system or is it mirroring new type of thinking concerning criminal proceedings? In this chapter, these elements are discussed. Finland is used as a main example. The Finnish situation is also compared with Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter recounts the second chronological moment of danger that emerged from witness testimony, in which thousands of mercenaries entered Provence, captured towns, and laid siege to Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. It describes the moment as a continuation of political wrangling for the Crown of Naples and the strained relationship of Queen Johanna and King Louis with the lords of Provence. It also explains how Countess Delphine’s witnesses viewed the moment as an event of danger and confusion as they did not have a consistent way to refer to the new kind of warfare. The chapter examines how several witnesses refer to the second chronological moment as “the war with the Gascons,” as the invasion was led by the Gascon mercenary leader Arnau de Cervole. It investigates how the phrase “war with the Gascons” explains how witnesses tried to put a new kind of violence into a familiar frame of reference.

The introductory chapter fulfils three objectives. First, it locates this study within the existing, somewhat disparate, historiography relating to sexuality and sexual practices in twentieth-century Scotland and summarises the aims of the book. Secondly, it explores the strengths and weaknesses of Scottish High Court and Crown Office records as a source for the social historian. In particular, it examines the importance of precognitions − witness statements, including testimony from medicsl experts and the police compiled by the Procurator Fiscal prior to any prosecution. Thirdly, it provides an overview of the structure and contents of the study.

One of the NYU campus’s key participant-administrators explains, from first-hand experience, the process of building a new university in the UAE. Through her account, we can witness the coming together of architectural practice with unusual climactic, economic, and social conditions. The challenge was to establish a contemporary and ambitious university in a mixed Arab-US milieu. Financed by the Abu Dhabi government with patronage of the country’s Crown Prince, linkages were carefully tended across multiple fronts, including at the highest levels among NYU administrators and trustees. In both academic and architectural terms, there was effort to enact a synthesis of US and Gulf traditions and aspirations.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter details the journey of abjurers to their ports of embarkation. Abjurations of the realm occurred throughout the kingdom, and residents of some populous localities, such as London or Bristol, could expect to see them and to hear of them far more often than elsewhere. But in most towns, even county seats, and in any and every village, to witness an abjuration was unusual; it was an event. The abjurer received a public shaming, and at the rarest times this rite even included the torching of an abjurer's home. The evidence is ambivalent on whether abjurers chose their place of departure, had it imposed on them by crown authorities, or were, either by choice or assignment, encouraged to accept the port.

Full textAbstract:
Fortified architecture between preservation and reuse strategies: the twentieth century restoration projects of Castelfranco in Finale LigureThe town of Finale Ligure, situated on the western coast of Liguria, was the site of the Del Carretto Marquisate until the sixteenth century. After that, it was under the control of the Spanish Crown (seventeenth century) and it has been an independent territory of the Republic of Genoa for a long time. The three castles were built on the top of Finale hills and they were the symbol of its independence. Gavone castle, established on the top of the historical town, has been the site of the Marquisate since the twelfth century. S. Giovanni castle was built by the Spanish in order to improve the town defensive system in the second half of the seventeenth century. Castelfranco, built by the Genoese in the fourteenth century, was rehashed many times by the Spanish and in the nineteenth century by the Savoia family. The three castles still recall these historical events and are therefore witnesses of the Finale present and past history. They are the result of the different transformations occurred over the centuries. In recent times, Castelfranco has been opened to the public and today it houses art exhibitions and cultural events. The restoration of the castle is the last step of a long-lasting rehabilitation project history that has been developed since the 1900s, when the Municipality suggested to turn it into a hotel. The article analyses the restoration projects of Castelfranco that have been carried out in the first half of the twentieth century, which had different methodologies and approaches. Though this study the article highlights the perception that the town had about the castle, identifying the changes in the balance between reuse and conservation strategies after the first Italian preservation laws.

Thurston, Leanne. "How Staged Head-On Collisions Changed Public Perception of Railroads." In 2019 Joint Rail Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/jrc2019-1329.
Full textAbstract:
With any new mode of transportation comes new fears for both the public and those involved in the industry. The advent of the transcontinental railroad was no different. When the transcontinental railroad was complete and trains became more commonplace for travel, the biggest fear became the worst case scenario: a head on collision between two trains. The idea of the head on collision remained the biggest fear of the public because it happened and was based on reality, but was rarely witnessed, which made the idea even more lofty. But with the standardization of time in the 1880’s, there were fewer crashes and collisions of railroads, but people were still afraid. Railroad companies began to brainstorm the best way to change public perception, and began to stage head on collisions open to public viewing for a small fee. Naturally, the idea took off, and head on collisions between trains became the next source of entertainment. For $2, spectators could watch two locomotives crash into each other at speeds of 58 miles an hour in Crush Texas, or even cheaper in Ohio. But this was more than just entertainment. William Crush, the most famous locomotive smasher had actually worked on the railroad known as the Katy. When asked by the executives of the railroad to boost sales, head on collision was his solution. Despite multiple injuries suffered in the crowd from shrapnel and an exploded boiler, this showcase worked, and ridership of the Katy increased dramatically. Crush’s display was not the first, or last time this took place around the country, but it was the most deadly, which makes it the most memorable and begs the question “what role do these staged collisions play in railroad history?” Ridership in the decades leading up to these staged collisions was steadily declining, and safety measures were not taken into consideration. But with these staged collisions that turned around. People, not just the public were able to see and study the different collisions and put minds at ease. But it also tells about the United States population at the time. These staged collisions could not have happened in any other era because of the industrial revolution which allowed railroad companies to begin to replace old locomotives and iron tracks with steel.
