Abstract:
The reentry of sentenced perpetrators of atrocity crimes is part and parcel of the pursuit of international and transitional justice. As men and women sentenced for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the other tribunals return from prisons into society and communities questions arise as to the impact their reentry has on deeply divided postconflict societies, in particular on victim groups. Contemporary international tribunals and courts mostly do not have penal or correctional policies of their own, and the legacy of early release, commuting of sentences and amnesties that Nuremberg and other post-World War II tribunals have left, is a particularly problematic one. Germany’s historical experience provides an analytic blueprint for understanding in which ways contemporary perpetrators return into changed and still fragile societies. This comparative analysis between Nuremberg and the ICTY is based on two data sets including information on returning war criminals sentenced in both tribunals. The comparative analysis focuses on four themes: politics of reentry, admission of guilt and justification, memoirs, and political activism.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article seeks to demonstrate that the figures used to describe the size and scope of cultural property crimes—that it is a $6 billion illicit industry and that it ranks among the third or fourth largest criminal enterprise annually—are without statistical merit. It underscores the ambiguities inherent in the figures and uses the 2003 theft of the Duke of Buccleuch's painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Madonna of the Yarnwinder, to illustrate the difficulties related to establishing monetary estimates for cultural property crimes. It calls for a more empirical approach to measuring the magnitude of the problem on the part of cultural property crime experts. Finally, it examines the reporting methods of the world's largest cultural property crimes law enforcement agency, the Comando Carabinieri per la Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale, in order to provide a model for others to follow in the effort to communicate the severity of the problem and to increase its financial, social, and political support.

Abstract:
The author investigates the problem of a criminal biography establishment as a form of event history interpretation. On the example of the famous London criminal Jonathan Wilde’s biography by D. Defoe we show how a real historical character life was being transformed into a myth that gained independent life in the collective consciousness and reflected in different spheres of artistic culture over the next centuries. Throughout the paper the writer structures the facts, leading the reader to the logical conclusion about the hero’s tragic fate. This text began to serve as a resource for subsequent discourses and representations of Wild’s image, who firmly entered the archive of London criminal mythology.

Abstract:
This article examines the birth and growth of criminal anthropology in France. French physicians and anthropologists took an interest in criminals and theorized their behaviors before the famous Italian positivist school. French theorizing in this area developped in the early beginnning of the XIXth century with the concept of Esquirol's "monomanie homicide" and phrenology, the later gaining wide acceptance under the July Monarchy. Paul Rroca, leader of anthropology in France, was interested incidentally in the pathology of crime but it is Lombroso's Uomo delin-quente, which through the reactions it provoked, led to the development of this type of studies in France. In opposition to Lombroso, the forensic physician Lacassagne created in Lyon in 1885 a review of criminal anthropology which will continue to appear until 1915. His school of "Milieu social", took a very different viewpoint from Durkheimian sociology. In fact, Lacassagne wasn't so far from Lombroso than he said, and his approach was also in a medical frame. Morel's theory of degeneration deserves mention for the importance it gained at the end of the century with Magnan, a psychiatrist who "regenerated" the concept of "monomanie homicide" in an "impulsion morbide". This presentation of the most important trends of criminal anthropology in France distinguishes two uses of the terms "criminal anthropology" and "criminology" in the past and today. An attempt is also made to unterstand how the medicalization of deviance was possible and it's historical conditions of emergence.

Abstract:
Sharing the opinion of Academician V.N. Kudryavtsev and the famous criminologist Professor V.V. Luneev that crime is an inevitable product of society, which modern human society can only keep at a socially tolerable level, the author of the article proceeds from the fact that such retention requires the presence of certain socio-economic means. Based on the analysis of legal doctrine, criminal and criminal-procedural legislation and law enforcement practice, it is concluded that the essence of the resolution of a criminal case is only the accusation formulated in the case for its substantive content. Such permission is possible only in cases in which the investigation was carried out in the form of a preliminary investigation, as well as in the context of the implementation of the criminal procedure function of administering justice in the courts of first, appeal, cassation and supervisory instances.

Abstract:
In the broad spectrum of criminological theories on the causes of deviant behavior, sociological theories of criminality involve particular importance. These theories, the causes of such behaviors are only seen in the conditions and social interactions of the individual in their environment. However, with scientific explanations about the causes of criminal behavior, special place has the theory who gives a special importance to the delinquent's interaction with its environment. This is known as theory of various associations or more commonly known as the theory of differential association. The creator of this theory is the famous American sociologist and criminologist Edwin Sutherland, who has left indelible imprints on the relatively short but very important tradition of American criminological theories of criminality. The famous creator's lessons have been taken and modified by many prominent criminologists in their reviews of criminal etiology. As a result this lesson has also been the basis for numerous subsequent empirical research on criminal behavior. In this paper, using the comparative, theoretical, and meta-analysis methods, will be presented the views of some criminology authors and their interpretation of Sutherland's lessons on differential association. Due to this, a brief section of some empirical studies of delinquent behaviors based on E. Sutherland's lessons will be presented, and also the final discussion on these issues will be discussed.

This chapter describes the index and control group respondents. It describes their demographics: IQ, sex, age, ethnicity/race, nationality, religion, education, occupation, income, marital status, and sexual orientation. It relates these variables to self-reported offending. The characteristics of the most criminal 20 percent (using measures that include crime frequency and crime seriousness) are compared with those of the least criminal 20 percent (including abstainers, who claim to have committed no offenses). The chapter also describes respondents’ personality traits (as measured by the revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire) and their experiences with mental illness and mental health treatment, as well as the books, movies, and famous figures that shaped the respondents’ thinking and influenced their behavior.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses Fergus Hume’s The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, which is famous as one of Australia’s first bestsellers, its first crime novel and a celebration of Melbourne society at the end of the nineteenth century. It demonstrates how the novel’s physical mobility, on which much of its fame is predicated, and the readability of the modern city, of which it is often considered exemplary, are in fact surprisingly lacking. In their place, and around the focal points of their absence, not least of which is the eponymous cab itself, rich veins of metaphorical mobility are seen to spread out, leading to an alternative mapping of the novel’s signs, including the potential for an alternative solution in line with the detective criticism of French scholar Pierre Bayard.

Abstract:
At the height of the Cold War, spies were more likely to be required to live secret lives in deep undercover. The same held true for corporate and industry spies. Even though government and industry spies may still be required to go out in the field, the digital and big data ages have offered the relative comfort of executing spy operations within one's home or office, offering challenges to detecting, investigating, and controlling espionage. Due to various network means, spies never have to “go out into the cold” – code for going deep undercover. Some of the network conduits discussed are the dark web and deep web and their roles in making covert operations even more secretive than when spies were required to go in the field. Methods of obtaining sensitive information and disabling computer systems are explored as well, including phishing and various means to deliver malware, presented in layman's terms. Once the stuff of science fiction and Hollywood movies, life is very much imitating art, with examples given from famous cyber espionage cases.

Abstract:
Paul Magnarella describes his legal work with the UN Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and his travel to Arusha, Tanzania, to work with the UN Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. He describes meeting the O’Neals and agreeing to become Pete O’Neal’s attorney. After examining Pete’s court records and trial transcript, Magnarella concludes that the presiding judge, Arthur J. Stanley, made a number of crucial errors that resulted in Pete’s wrongful conviction. Magnarella examines Judge Stanley’s previous famous case involving George John Gessner, a private first-class nuclear weapons specialist. Judge Stanley’s court found Gessner guilty of communicating restrictive data to a foreign nation. Federal appellate judges overturned the conviction, ruling that the U.S. military had coerced Gessner’s confession and the Stanley court had suspended Gessner’s constitutional protections to satisfy the needs of government.

This chapter explores the production and reception history of a notable Cold War Soviet thriller, The Dead Season, directed by Savva Kulish, a former cameraman and collaborator of Mikhail Romm and Maiya Turovskaya on a famous documentary about life in the Third Reich, Ordinary Fascism. Kulish’s background and his own Jewish descent prompted him to adopt a highly serious approach to the story of a former Nazi war criminal who is now resident in “a certain Western country.” Rather than an exciting adventure story, the film became an exploration of psychological tension, as the discussion here makes clear.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the most famous excuses from responsibility and defenses to criminal liability is insanity. The doctrines of insanity are the royal road to grasping the nature of personhood presupposed by both morality and the criminal law. This is because the insane are thought to lack that which makes us accountable agents. The doctrines defining legal insanity are thus examined at some length, probing such doctrines for their suppositions about what psychological characteristics sane persons must possess to be responsible agents. Considerable stripping away from standard doctrines of insanity is needed to reveal the defense’s presuppositions about personhood and moral agency. For those standard doctrines treat insanity as if it were an ordinary excuse like mistake or coercion, just one incidentally limited to those offenders who are mentally ill. Whereas in fact insanity excuses independently of both the cognitive excuses of mistake and of the volitional excuses of coercion, and it does so because of the defense’s central focus on mental illness. Because of their mental illness those who are legally insane lack something more basic than the cognitive and volitional defects on which the defenses of mistake and coercion are based; those who are legally insane lack the moral agency possessed by sane adult persons. This is why this sui generis excuse of insanity affords such a unique opportunity to probe law and morality’s suppositions of what persons must be like to be responsible agents.

Full text
Abstract:
As international criminal law lives through an endless crisis, some commentators cast doubt on its suitability to confront episodes of mass atrocity. This chapter addresses the question of international criminal law’s necessity from a historical perspective, revisiting a moment in which the whole enterprise seemed on the verge of collapsing: Duško Tadić’s 1995 challenge to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Following out Susan Marks’s famous appeal, the analysis attempts to read both contingency and necessity into the reasoning which led the ICTY Trial and Appeals chambers to dismiss said challenge. It then claims that the judges’ approach can be interpreted through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus, internalised history orienting individuals towards certain choices and away from others. But even when the behaviour of specific agents is at stake, using the habitus as an explanatory tool keeps redirecting towards questions of structure. Accordingly, it appears that in instances of groundless adjudication like the Tadić challenge, where international law is called to pronounce on the foundations of the very practices it supports, structure determines outcomes much more than human agency does. Yet, noting that any analytical concept is an authorial construct—including contingency and necessity, agency and structure—the chapter concludes by problematising its own findings, and by reminding scholars of the political responsibility intrinsic to historical inquiry.

Abstract:
After and during discussions with Hawthorne, Melville apparently revised his unfinished whaling story through correcting two recurring weaknesses in his narratives cited by Howard P. Vincent: not having a central character to build around nor a similar sort of villain; repeating a tendency to limit dramatic conflict between two individuals only, usually an officer and a common sailor. The first difficulty he corrected by creating Ahab, a version of Balzac’s famous villain Vautrin from Le Père Goriot, a superior criminal genius of godlike intensity. The second he solved by the formula of Balzac’s Unité de composition and creating not one or two forceful characters but an entire range of mankind reflecting instinctive, abstractive, and genius forces. Examples of similar discourse, actions, and perceptions are reviewed through comparisons of characters between Moby-Dick and Balzacian types, particularly Vautrin.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at how the assemblages that characterise a society of control intervene at the level of speech and thought. It takes up Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange (1962), a meditation on control over language, expression, and thought, but also technoscientific control, namely, through the ‘Ludovico technique’ — an assemblage of cinematic technology and pharmaceutical innovation the State uses to resubjectivise the criminal class. The novel is as famous for its ultra-violent aesthete, Alex, as for its fabrication of Nadsat, a fictional argot spoken by delinquent youths. Though Deleuze never cited Burgess, he wrote at length about Stanley Kubrick, who adapted Burgess's novel in 1971. Hence, this chapter shows how Burgess and Kubrick illuminate Deleuze's thoughts on literature and language, cinema and control, and allows us to trace their affinities with SF criticism and the genre's linguistic creations.
