Full textAbstract:
The principle that legal entities can be held criminally liable was first introduced into
Belgian law in 1999. Some 20 years later, Belgian Parliament reviewed the rules, and
adopted a number of significant changes. The present article offers a high-level overview of
the currently applicable legal regime.

Full textAbstract:
The Act on criminal liability of legal entities and proceedings against them became effective on 1 January 2012. Although it is a highly controversial law disrupting the established criminal law principles, the Czech Republic was one of the few European Union member states whose laws did not embed criminal liability of legal entities in its laws. An effort concerning solving this problem appeared as far back as 2004, the Chamber of Deputies, however, rejected the original bill. Perhaps due to the international pressure or due to the increase in crimes committed by legal entities, in 2011, the second bill was already approved. This thesis deals with the arguments and process of discourse, from which emerged the valid enactment, as well as an explanation of some of the principal provisions of the Act and also the international scheme of criminal liability of legal entities. It is difficult to anticipate the specific impact of the Act due to its short effect and therefore the thesis on criminal liability of legal entities is more of a theoretical than practical.

Full textAbstract:
First, this work proposes a study of the origin, elements and application of the Compliance Program or, also named, Regulatory Compliance Program. The aforementioned program is understood as an internal device that corporations use not only to comply with the current legislation but also to prevent and detect legal violations they could be found in or as part of the activities they carry out.Second, it tries to explain and develop the connection between, on one hand, the new risks in the financial and technological development and, on the other hand, Criminal Law as a protective body of important legal assets for society. The aim is to analyze Criminal Compliance to get the corporationto manage its activities under current legislation, especially Criminal Law.In this regard, it enlarges the sectoral developments based on the Peruvian Government’s implementation of the the Compliance Program in the legal framework.Finally, it analyzes the impact of Criminal Compliance in the criminal legal framework. For that end, it refers to the criminal liability system in Peru and in what way it impacts on the application of Criminal Compliance.El trabajo propone, en primer lugar, un estudio del origen, los elementos y la aplicación del Compliance Program o, también llamado, Programa de Cumplimiento Normativo, entendido como un dispositivo interno que las empresas implementan para cumplir con la normatividad vigente, así como para prevenir y detectar las infracciones legales que se produzcan dentro de las mismas o como parte de las actividades que estas realizan. Asimismo, se intenta explicar y desarrollar la relación entre los nuevos riesgos, debido al desarrollo económico y tecnológico, y el derecho penal como ente protector de bienes jurídicos de importancia para la sociedad. Esto último tiene como finalidad analizar el Criminal Compliance, destinado a que la empresa ordene su actividad conforme a la normativa aplicable, en especial la ley penal. En tal sentido, se desarrolla la aplicación que el Estado peruano ha realizado del referido Programa de Cumplimiento Normativo en el ordenamiento jurídico, en concreto los avances sectoriales. Finalmente, se analiza el impacto del Criminal Compliance en el ordenamiento jurídico penal. Para ello, se hace una referencia al sistema de responsabilidad penal adoptado en el Perú y de qué manera esto impacta en la aplicación del Criminal Compliance.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)Bite mark evidence has been admitted into US courts since the 1870s. It quickly gained popularity after the conviction of W.E. Marx in 1974 for manslaughter using primarily bite mark evidence. However, since the development of DNA typing and testing in forensic science, the emergence of wrongful convictions has placed the validity of bite mark evidence admissibility into severe dispute. This mini-thesis is a condensation of the past ten years’ worth of literature on the latest researches regarding bite mark evidence. The theory of the uniqueness of the human dentition is analysed. The accurate reproducibility of bite mark on skin with regard to distortion is discussed. Some bite mark court cases, including wrongful convictions are explored. Inconsistent expert opinions and the lack of standards amongst practitioners are also examined. The aim of this study is to summarize the validity of bite mark evidence in the courts of law.

Full textAbstract:
This paper studies the criminal liability of legal persons, which has suffered a deep reform with the organic law 1/2015, after being introduced in Spain in 2010. This reform has brought important modifications and news, as the creation of an exemption of liability through the adoption of compliance programs, which supposes a change in the so called model of transfer of liability, that existed before. Parallel to this transformation in the Spanish criminal code, in Peru recently the law 30424 has come into forth, which contents a corporate liability model, very similar to the one foreseen in Spain. Both models of liability and the possibility of its exemption raise doubts about if they really tried to penalize legal persons or not.El presente trabajo estudia la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas en España, la cual, después de haberse introducido en el año 2010, ha sufrido una reforma de hondo calado con la ley orgánica 1/2015. Esta ha conllevado importantes modificaciones y novedades, como la creación de una eximente de responsabilidad mediante la adopción de programas de cumplimiento, que ha supuesto un cambio en el antes existente modelo de transferencia de responsabilidad. Paralelamente a esta transformación que ha tenido lugar en el Código Penal español, en el Perú recientemente se ha aprobado la ley 30424, que crea un modelo de responsabilidad para las personas jurídicas muy similar al previsto en España. Ambos modelos de responsabilidad y la posibilidad de su exención plantean la duda de si realmente se pretende responsabilizar penalmente a las personas jurídicas o no.

Full textAbstract:
A crise global do capitalismo eclodida no ano de 2008 evidenciou o risco sistêmico a que a atividade econômica ficou exposta a partir da sua desregulamentação, implementada, a partir dos anos 1980, pelo chamado neoliberalismo, e do desenvolvimento dos meios de comunicação e informáticos, que a interligou em nível planetário. Seus efeitos devastadores somente puderam ser contidos por meio de intervenção estatal, com a injeção de muito dinheiro público na atividade econômica privada, o que trouxe à tona a discussão quanto ao real papel regulatório do Estado sobre a economia nesse contexto. No panorama atual do desenvolvimento da sociedade capitalista e contemporânea, há, muitas vezes, verdadeiro divórcio entre os interesses do real proprietário da empresa (ausente ou passivo) e o corpo de gestores contratados da companhia, impondo a necessidade de maior confiabilidade e transparência na apuração e nos demonstrativos dos resultados empresariais. Surge daí o conceito de boas práticas de governança corporativa, do qual um dos pilares de sustentação é o denominado compliance, que funciona como uma estrutura verificadora e validadora do bom funcionamento, da correção e da confiabilidade da administração, prevenindo riscos imanentes à atividade empresarial. Surge, nesse cenário, uma concepção de autorregulação regulada ou forçada da atividade econômica, pela qual o Estado supera uma postura meramente repressora de desvios encontrados, que relegava ao particular sua própria organização, passando a impor uma pauta mínima de obrigações organizacionais, que necessita ser cumprida e implementada para prevenir riscos de condutas antiéticas ou mesmo criminosas. O papel do direito penal, sempre mais modesto do que dele se espera, acaba ganhando muita importância por atuar como norma de reforço à tutela de deveres organizacionais e de autofiscalização da atividade econômica. Os meios eleitos para atingir esses objetivos são a utilização de tipos penais de perigo abstrato, omissivos ou comissivos por omissão; a incriminação da corrupção privada; a promulgação de leis extraterritoriais que preveem a colaboração entre Estados no combate à criminalidade; a adoção de sistemas legais autodenominados administrativos, mas que são penais em sua essência; a crescente aceitação e utilização da responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica. Partindo de constatações criminológicas e proposições político-criminais, a presente tese visa a propor a criação de um sistema de imputação penal das pessoas jurídicas baseado na ideia de fato próprio culpável, com a culpabilidade atrelada ao conceito de defeito de organização, visando a superar o déficit na aplicação do modelo adotado pela Lei nº 9.605/1998, na qual não há o estabelecimento de quaisquer critérios para delimitar o âmbito das ações corporativas culpáveis. Para tanto, buscaram-se, em modelos jurídicos alienígenas (italiano, chileno e espanhol), experiências e exemplos que pudessem auxiliar na proposição de critérios reitores de um novo modelo adaptado à realidade brasileira, pelos quais se almeja a maximização das possibilidades de aplicação do instituto, de um lado, e a maior amplitude possível das garantias penais, de outro.The global crisis of capitalism, which emerged in 2008, displayed the systemic risk that economic activity was exposed to. This risk occurs due to the deregulation implemented from 1980 by the so-called neoliberalism as well as due to the development of both the media and IT which have globally interconnected economic activity. The devastating effects of neoliberalism could only be restrained through state intervention, with the injection of great amounts of public money into private economic activity. In this context, this practice brought up the discussion on the actual regulatory role of the state in economy. In the current scenario of the development of contemporary capitalist society, there is often an actual separation between the interests of the real owner of the company (who is absent or passive) and the board of hired managers of the company. This fact generates the need for increased reliability and transparency in the calculation and statements of business results. The concept of good corporate governance practices is thus generated, which has compliance as one of its supporting pillars. Compliance works as a testing and validating structure of managerial functioning, correctness and reliability, thus, preventing risks that are inherent to business activity. In this scenario, the concept of regulated or forced self-regulation of economic activity was created. By this concept, the state goes beyond the previous position of merely repressing identified deviations, which meant that the organization could regulate itself. Now the state imposes an agenda of organizational duties, which need to be fulfilled and implemented to prevent risks of unethical or even criminal behavior. The role of criminal law, which has had a more modest scope than expected, ends up gaining importance because it acts as reinforcement rule for the protection of organizational duties and self-inspection of economic activity. The means chosen to achieve these goals are the use of criminal types of abstract danger, which may be either omissive or comissive by omission; incrimination of private corruption; enactment of extraterritorial laws that provide for collaboration among States in combating crime; adoption of legal systems in the administrative scope that are criminal in their essence; the increased acceptance and use of the criminal liability of legal entities. Starting from criminological findings and political-criminal propositions, this thesis aims at proposing the creation of a criminal imputation system of legal entities, based on the idea of a fact itself that can be considered as liable. The guilt is attached to the concept of organization defect in order to overcome the deficit in the implementation of the model adopted by Law No. 9.605/1998, which has not established any criteria to specify the scope of corporate actions that may be considered as liable to penalty for law offence. Therefore, we researched experiences and examples in foreign legal models (Italian, Chilean and Spanish legal models) that could help to propose criteria that lead to a new model adapted to the Brazilian reality, in which we aim, on the one hand, to maximize the possibilities of this new legal model, and, on the other hand, reach penal guarantees as widely as possible.

The following thesis investigates the MACR in African Legal Systems. The MACR is the youngest age at which children in conflict with the law find themselves caught up in the harsh realities of the criminal justice system. Up until recently, debates around fixing a MACR had been successfully side-stepped since the adoption of the UNCRC in 1989. The UNCRC has provided for human rights for children on a global scale while the ACRWC provides for such rights regionally. Contracting States Parties to these treaties agree that there needs to be a MACR in place and have adopted a childrens rights-based framework for reviewing their current child laws, policies and practices in accordance with the minimum standards provided. They do not however, agree on what the fixed minimum age should be..."

Full textAbstract:
A sociedade de risco mundial caracteriza-se por sua dimensão negativa de igualdade, uma vez que os cidadãos não são mais iguais em razão dos direitos ou benefícios que compartilham, mas, sim, pelos riscos comuns que a se encontram expostos. O desenvolvimento tecnológico, bem como o conhecimento científico, remeteu o homem a um contexto de modernidade, prometendo cumprir na integralidade com inúmeros e incontáveis benefícios ao bem viver. Porém, junto aos ganhos qualitativos de vida, o que se viu foram acidentes nucleares, guerras atômicas, danos ambientais e outros efeitos decorrentes da radicalização do modelo produtivo empregado. Esses fatos imergiram a sociedade num mar de dúvidas e incertezas, resultando em uma redemocratização forçada, que colocou todos os indivíduos do globo terrestre em uma mesma condição: vítimas de uma possível aniquilação. Nesse viés, a ambivalência decorrente dos riscos permeia os mais diversos segmentos da realidade social, sendo que nenhum saber apresenta mais o mesmo significado que detinha há pouco tempo atrás. Os próprios conceitos, paradigmas e instituições da contemporaneidade precisam, agora, ser repensados. A magnitude dos riscos obriga, assim, a uma nova forma de engajamento político e social em âmbito mundial: participação ativa e cidadã dos indivíduos, adoção de políticas globais calcadas em bases educacionais preventivas aos danos ambientais, inserção de empresas como agentes morais, melhoria na produção, alternativas ao consumo, debate crítico às descobertas da ciência, inclusão e valorização do outro, entre outras. Esta dura realidade que nos atemoriza é, ao mesmo tempo, o combustível que nos motiva em busca de melhores soluções e alternativas para a reconstrução dos modelos até então empregados de produção, consumo e convivência. A crise ambiental pode se tornar uma oportunidade. Nesse sentido, o saber científico e o conhecimento tecnológico, por mais contraditórios que possam parecer, detêm caráter central para a continuidade da vida humana no planeta, pois servem como meios para o reconhecimento dos novos riscos, criticando e aprimorando tanto em campo ambiental quanto em campo empresarial o desenvolver das novas políticas de produção. No mesmo contexto, as pessoas jurídicas sejam pequenas empresas ou grandes corporações abandonam o antigo estigma de culpadas pela degradação das condições da vida no planeta e passam a ocupar a posição de protagonistas nas questões socioambientais. Trata-se da adoção de uma política de duplo ganho (win X win). As empresas ganham em imagem corporativa positiva, expandem sua clientela, abordam novos nichos de mercado, melhoram e reduzem custos de produção e, ainda, incrementam seu lucro. Por sua vez, a sociedade ganha com a melhoria da produção, uso racional dos recursos naturais, alternativas às formas de consumo, bem como uma importante aliada aos projetos humanitários, sociais e ambientais. Agir ético, participação ativa e cidadã dos indivíduos, inclusão do outro e conduta fraterna são apenas alguns dos fatores que comprovam que a vida humana em sociedade pode ainda ter futuro.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-30T17:26:34Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Diogo Petry.pdf: 1242603 bytes, checksum: f70e91c632cedd21604d79cf37825dfd (MD5)

The world risk society is characterized for its negative dimension of equality, since citizens are not equal anymore for their rights or benefits that they share, but in detriment, for the common risks which they are exposed. The technological development as well as the scientific knowledge addressed the man to a modernity context promising to integrally accomplish the many and uncountable benefits to the well living. However, and with the qualitative life winnings, what we have seen are nuclear accidents, atomic wars, environmental damages and other effects caused by the radicalization of the inserted pattern. This fact filled the society with doubts and uncertainness, resulting on a forced redemocratization, which put all the terrestrial globe individuals in the same condition: victims of a possible annihilation. In this idea, the ambivalence that comes from the risks infiltrates the various segments of the social reality, not any knowledge has the same meaning as it had a few years ago. Concepts, paradigms and contemporaneity institutions need to be now rethought. Thus, the magnitude of the risks requires a new way of social and political engagement in a worldwide ambit: active participation of the individuals as citizens, adoption of global policies modeled in educational bases preventing environmental damages, insertion of companies as moral agents, production improvement, alternatives instead of consumption, critical debate about the science discoveries, inclusion and valorization of the other individuals, among others. This hard reality that terrorizes us is, at the same time, the fuel that gives us motivation in search of better solutions and alternatives for the reconstruction of the production, consume and living patters applied so far. The environmental crises may become an opportunity. In this idea, the scientific knowhow and the technological knowledge, although sometimes seem to be contradictory, detain central character for the human life continuity in the planet because they are used as means for the recognition of the new risks, criticizing and improving either in the environmental field or in the entrepreneurial field , in the development of new production policies. In the same context small companies or big corporations abandon the old label as responsible for the planet life condition degradation and thus, taking the position of protagonist in the socio-environmental issues. It´s about the adoption of a double winning policy (win x win). Companies win positive corporative image, expand customers, approach new market niche, improve and reduce production costs and also increase profits. The society, wins with the production improvement, rational natural resources use, alternative instead of consumption ways as well as wins an important support to humanitarian social and environmental projects. Ethical action, active individual´s participation as citizens, inclusion of the others and fraternal conduct, are just some of the factors that prove human life in society may still be have a future.

The thesis deals with the legal institution of the criminal responsibility of legal entities and a feasibility of its implementation in the Czech law. The main objective of the thesis is to find an answer to the question if the implementation of the institution is neccessary in the Czech republic and eventually in which form and parameters. The first part of the paper describes the current state of legal regulation in the Czech republic and contains a comparative analysis of legal regulation in France, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia, Great Britain and United States. In the end of the theoretical part the paper discusses relevant liabilities of the Czech republic arising from international treaties and european law. In the second part the paper focuses on scolarly debate on the possible implementation, its advantages and disadvantages. The core of the paper lies in the critical reflection of existing drafts of the law on criminal responsibility of legal entities and author's own speculation about a possible legal regulation in the Czech republic

In the paper Legal Liability from the Point of View of Normativist and Democratic Law Concepts concept of liability is briefly described. Social liability and its kinds are analysed. Legal liability is distinguished like a separate kind from the social liability, featuring a unique obligatory legal definition sign. Its application is assured by the state. Kinds of legal liability analysed: positive and tortious (negative) legal liability. Basis for occurrence of legal liability are described. Dependence of the legal liability upon the legal system of a state is described in the paper. In the non-democratic states, where the laws become a tool for the rulers to give law to the masses, other kinds of social liability, e.g. moral liability, contradict with the legal liability. All kinds of the social liability, except the legal liability, feature no forced measures applicable upon the violator. It is stressed that the non-democratic legal systems fail to accept the positive legal liability. Unsuccessful efforts of the Soviet law theoreticians to introduce the concept of positive legal liability into the law science are mentioned. Tortious legal liability is a sequel and guarantee of the positive liability. Therefore it is the secondary and the positive liability is the primary (main) form of the legal liability. It becomes especially vivid in the democratic society, when its right ceases being repressive and implementation of the positive law is first of all assured by the... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
L’internationalisation des échanges économiques inscrit les économies nationales dans un ordre mondialisé. Ce contexte de la mondialisation intensifie les échanges commerciaux et la concurrence des entreprises. Celles-ci doivent perpétuellement lutter pour survivre sur le marché. Pour ne pas disparaître, elles doivent devenir plus fortes, et plus grandes. Elles sont dès lors contraintes à un développement externe. Ce mode de croissance externe se matérialise par des opérations de concentration : fusion, scission, apports partiels d’actifs, cession de contrôle, offres publiques. Il s’agit d’étudier les fusions-acquisitions. Depuis quelques années, ces opérations sont devenues une réalité de la vie des affaires. Relayées à chaque réalisation - du moins les plus significatives - par les médias, elles sont le plus souvent connues pour la synergie qu’elles réalisent et/ou les conséquences sociales qu’elles emportent. Traitées dans les manuels de sciences économiques et de sciences juridiques de manière générale, les fusions-acquisitions sont rarement envisagées sous l’angle exclusif du droit pénal. C’est précisément l’objet de cette étude. Néanmoins, seules les opérations de fusions, scissions, et offres publiques, en droit pénal sont envisagées. Les risques juridiques liés à ces opérations, en particulier les risques pénaux, se situent à tous les étages. Dans le cadre de ces opérations, le droit pénal a vocation à protéger les différents intérêts en jeu, c’est-à-dire les divers intérêts des acteurs, personnes physiques ou morales. Mais certains obstacles obligent à une application mesurée du droit pénal en la matière. Le premier est la notion de personnalité juridique, fondement de plusieurs principes de droit pénal ; le second est une conjugaison de plusieurs difficultés : La diversité et/ou la spécificité des réglementations applicables à ces opérations, le caractère souvent international de ces dernières et la portée limitée du droit pénal accessoire. Cette étude se propose de concilier ces obstacles avec la nécessité et les exigences d’une vraie, juste et meilleure répression lors de la réalisation de ces opérations de ces opérations de fusions-acquisitions. En ce sens, notre contribution insiste sur un renouvellement de l’application du droit pénal lors de la réalisation de ces opérations. Deux principales pistes sont envisagées : considérer le caractère économique de l’opération pour consacrer une pénalisation – entendue ici comme l’action de sanctionner et de renforcer la sanction - des fusions-acquisitions eu égard au droit pénal économique ; prendre appui sur la notion d’entreprise pour apporter une réponse pénale adaptée à la répression. C’est à cette double condition que le droit pénal aura un réel intérêt dans le cadre de ces opérationsThe Internationalization of economical exchanges inscribes national’s economies in a globalized order. This globalized context intensifies the business’s trades and the competition between companies. These have to perpetually struggle to survive on the market. To avoid disappearance, they have to become stronger and bigger. Thenceforth, they are constrained to an external growth. This type of external growth materializes itself by concentrations: such as mergers, scissions, acquisitions, partial transfers of assets, transfers of control, takeovers. We talk about mergers and acquisitions. For some years now, these transactions had become a reality in a business’s life. Relay at each realization – at least the most significant ones – by the media, they are most known for the synergy they realized and/or social consequencies they cary. Generally studied in economics sciences and legal sciences manuals, mergers and acquisitions are rarely considered exclusively by criminal approach. This is precisely the purpose of this study. Nevertheless, only concentrations such as mergers scissions and takeovers will be considered in this study. Legal risks tied to such transactions, in particular criminal ones, are found at all stages. In the context of those concentrations, criminal Law is intended to protect all different interests in presence, meaning actors, natural persons as well as legal persons. But some certain obstacles call for a measured or moderated application of criminal Law. The first one is the legal personality, the basis of multiples criminal Law principles. The second is a combination of many or multiples difficulties: the diversity and/or the specificity of the applicable rules to those transactions, usually the international character of the latter ones and the limited scope of the Law on secondary penalties. This study is proposing to conciliate those obstacles with the necessity of and the requirements of a true, just and better criminal repression during these transactions realization. For this purpose, our contribution lay stress on renewal of the criminal Law application during the mergers and acquisitions. Two mains avenues will be considered: consider the economic character of the transactions to apply a penalization; intended here as the act of sanctioning and re-enforce the penalty of mergers and acquisitions in view of economic criminal Law; laying on the notion of enterprise to bring a penal answer adapted to the penalty. It will be at this double condition that the criminal Law will have a real interest in the frame, limit of those transactions

Full textAbstract:
Adoptée au lendemain de la Libération par le Gouvernement provisoire de la République française, l’ordonnance du 2 février 1945 établit toute une série de principes qui, encore aujourd’hui, forment le socle du droit pénal des mineurs. Ainsi, la responsabilité progressive par paliers calquée sur l’évolution du discernement, la primauté de l’éducation sur la répression, la mitigation des peines ou encore l’adaptation des procédures, sont autant de règles dérogatoires qui structurent et orientent le traitement juridique de l’enfance coupable. Cet ensemble forme, selon l’expression consacrée, les « principes directeurs » du droit pénal des mineurs. Le recours à une étude historique permet de mieux comprendre la construction progressive du droit pénal des mineurs contemporainThe order of February 2nd 1945 which was adopted in the aftermath of the Liberation by the Provisional Government of the French Republic establishes a series of principles which shape the base of juvenal criminal law. Thus the progressive liability in stages modelled on the development of discernment, the superiority of education on repression, the mitigation of sentences, but also the procedure adjustment, are as many derogating rules structuring and guiding the legal treatment of guilty childhood. To use the hallowed phrase, this combination constitutes the « guiding principles » of juvenal criminal law. The submission to a historical study allows a better understanding of the contemporary gradual building up of juvenal criminal law

Tabaraud, Émilie. "L'incivilité en droit privé." Thesis, Limoges, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LIMO0020.
Full textAbstract:
« Impolitesse », « manque de savoir-vivre », « petits désordres », voire même « infraction pénale », sont autant de qualificatifs utilisés pour dénoncer les effets néfastes de l’incivilité dans les relations sociales. Présentée comme « le » phénomène responsable des maux de la société, les mesures informelles pour endiguer l’incivilité se multiplient. Néanmoins, celles-ci se révélant insuffisantes à contenir son expansion, l’intervention de la matière juridique apparaît inéluctable. En effet, le droit, et plus spécialement le droit privé, qui a pour fonction de réguler les relations entre les particuliers, ne peut ignorer la pression exercée par le groupe social pour contraindre les citoyens à respecter les règles élémentaires de la vie en société. S’il faut alors saluer l’intervention du législateur pour dénoncer et cantonner les dangers de l’incivilité, la méthode utilisée pour ce faire est fortement contestable. Méconnaissant la logique qui préside à l’élaboration de toute règle de droit, il ne s’est effectivement pas interrogé sur ce que recouvre précisément l’incivilité, se contentant de reprendre à son compte les études sociologiques liant « incivilité » et « insécurité ». De la sorte, seul le droit pénal a été utilisé pour traiter un comportement par nature peu attentatoire à l’ordre public. Or, dans une perspective de véritable juridicisation de l’incivilité, cette méprise doit être corrigée. Pour cela, il convient de dégager les contours de la notion d’incivilité juridique, puis de l’assortir d’un régime juridique propre, susceptible de permettre aux citoyens de mieux « vivre ensemble », en préservant les conditions essentielles à une société démocratique« Rudeness », « want of mannerliness », « behaviour disturbances » or even « criminal offence » belong to numerous qualifiers used to name the harmful effects of incivility in social relations. Presented as « the » phenomenon responsible for evils afflicting our society, it more and more requires appropriate reprisals in order to avoid overwhelming increase. Nevertheless, as they are appearing insufficient to contain its expansion, the intervention of the lawmaker appears unavoidable. Indeed, the law, particularly private law meant for regulating relations between individuals cannot ignore the pressure exerted by the social group to compel individuals to respect basic rules of social life issues. If lawmaker’s interference has to be welcomed for incivilities containment, the method seems to be highly questionable. Considering the legislator’s lack of knowledge as far as law’s elaboration is concerned, it is advisable to precisely define what encompasses incivility and the borderline between incivility and insecurity. To these days, one has just affected to criminal law in order to cope with definitively barely offensive behaviour to public order. Considering the jurisdictionnal issues linked to incivility, correcting the initial misunderstanding is highly desirable. Henceforth, the concept and limits of incivility have to be properly identified. From which a specific system will be settled allowing citizens to better « living together » and as the same time preserving the essential conditions for a democratic society

Alors que l’on enseigne classiquement la distinction radicale du droit pénal et de la responsabilité civile, une étude approfondie du droit positif révèle une tendance générale et profonde à la confusion des deux disciplines. Face à ce paradoxe, le juriste s’interroge : comment articuler le droit civil et le droit pénal de la responsabilité ? Pour y répondre, cette thèse suggère d’abandonner l’approche traditionnelle de la matière, consistant à la tenir pour une simple catégorie de classement des différentes branches, civile et pénale, du droit de la responsabilité. La responsabilité juridique est présentée comme une institution autonome et générale organisant la réaction du système à la perturbation anormale de l’équilibre social. Quant au droit de la responsabilité civile et au droit criminel, ils ne sont plus conçus que comme les applications techniques de cette institution en droit positif.Sur le fondement de cette approche renouvelée et par le prisme de l’étude des conditions de la responsabilité en droit privé, la thèse propose un ordonnancement technique et rationnel du droit pénal et de la responsabilité civile susceptible de fournir les principes directeurs d’une véritable théorie générale de la responsabilité juridique. En tant qu’institution générale, celle-ci engendre à la fois un concept de responsabilité, composé des exigences de dégradation d’un intérêt juridiquement protégé, d’anormalité et de causalité juridique et qui fonde la convergence du droit pénal et du droit civil, et un système de responsabilité, qui en commande les divergences et pousse le premier vers la protection de l’intérêt général et le second vers celle des victimesWhile the radical distinction between criminal law and civil liability is classically taught, a thorough survey of positive law reveals a general and profound trend towards a confusion of these two disciplines. Faced with this paradox, the jurist wonders : how to articulate the civil and criminal laws of responsibility ? To answer this question, the thesis suggests abandoning the traditional approach of the subject, which consists in treating it as a mere category of classification of the different branches, civil and criminal, of responsibility/liability. Legal responsibility is presented as an autonomous and general institution organizing the response from the system to abnormal disturbance of social equilibrium. Civil liability law and criminal law are, as far as they are concerned, henceforth conceived as the mere technical applications of this institution in positive law.On the basis of this new approach and through the prism of the study of liability conditions in private law, the thesis proposes a technical and rational organization of criminal law and civil liability that may provide the guiding principles of a real general theory of legal responsibility. As a general institution, it gives not only a concept of responsibility, requiring degradation of a legally protected interest, abnormality and legal causation, and establishing the convergence of criminal law and civil law, but also a system of responsibility, determining the divergences of them and steering the first towards the protection of general interest and the second towards the protection of victims

Resumé Issues of Criminal Liability of Legal Entities This thesis deals with criminal liability of legal entities and with delictual liability of legal entities. Even though there is no Czech equivalent for the institution of criminal liability of legal entities, and consequently it cannot be part of Czech legal system, there have been many heated debates, conducted both by professionals, politicians and amateurs. Czech criminal law does not contain the term collective responsibility, as it is traditionally based on the individual criminal liability. It has adopted the principle societas delinquere non potest, and for this reason the introduction of criminal liability of legal entities would be perceived as massive change, change that could have profound impact on the Czech criminal law as such. The topic is controversial; it is manifested in the way the arguments pro and contra are submitted. The thesis consists of seven chapters. Basic definitions are followed by a short historical overview of delictual liability of legal entities in European continental law. Next chapter lists arguments pro and contra introduction of criminal liability of legal entities. Tendencies in international and in European continental law constitute one of the main arguments for introducing this institution into Czech legal...

The thesis concerns the questions related to the criminal liability of legal entities, with focus on their sanctioning. The criminal law is being traditionally linked to the criminal liability of an individual. The social environment has changed in the last decades in such a way that it was vital to reflect its negative consequences. In a number of EU countries, the action resulted in implementation of criminal lability of legal entities. The Czech Republic used to be a country where the criminal lability of legal entities was not complied with for many years. The change was brought by adopting the act of No. 418/2011 valid from 1st January 2012, dealing with criminal liability of legal entities and its related proceedings. The thesis is devided into four chapters. The opening chapter focuses on theoretical questions of criminal liability of legal entities. Different approaches to the matter are analysed here in detail, international and European commitments of the Czech Republic in relation to criminal liability of legal entities are also mentioned. The second chapter is related to the basic rules of sanctioning the legal entities. Theoretical definition of "sentence" and "preventive measure" terms can be found in the first part of the chapter.

1 Selected Issues of the Criminal Liability of Legal Entities in the Czech Republic Summary This thesis focuses on the selected issues of the criminal liability of legal entities in the Czech Republic, concretely the Act No. 418/2011 Coll. on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceedings against them. The main purpose of the thesis is to pick the most unclear provisions as well as the ones that cause that the criminal proceedings are not really effective. The first chapter analyzes the circumstances of ratification of the Act into the Czech legal system and the discussions connected to the ratification. The second chapter describes the chosen conception of the criminal liability of legal entities. Following chapters deal with the chosen pitfalls related to the application of the Act. The third chapter covers the § 7 of the Act and the extent of the crimes which are listed in this provision. The main problem regarding this provision is the fact, that on one hand we can find some crimes that can be hardly committed by legal entities and on the other hand we cannot find several offenses that could be expected to be committed mainly by the legal entities, e.g. infringement of the competition rules under the § 248/2 of the Criminal Act No. 40/2009 Coll. The fourth chapter focuses on § 8, firstly how the...

Criminal lability of legal entities Abstract The diploma thesis is focused on criminal lability of legal entities, which was incorporated into Czech law by Act No. 418/2011 Coll, on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceeding Againts Them (hereinafter "the Act"), which came into effect on 1 January 2012. The phenomenon of criminal liability of legal entities is a controversial topic, because it conflicts with many traditional principles of criminal law in the continental legal culture, which also includes the Czech Republic. Even after eight years since the introduction of criminal liability of legal entities into the Czech legal order, this topic is given constant attention in the field of doctrine and practice. The aim of the diploma thesis is to present a complex issue of the rise and expiry of criminal liability of legal entities in the Czech Republic and to evaluate the practical and theoretical problems that this law institute brings.

Since its promulgation on May 14.1928, the Copyright Law has gone through sixteen amendments, eleven of which have involved criminal penalty clauses, with aims to increase the punitive scope and legal effect. Copyright is among intangible property right, which is part of the property law. Despite its nature of a domestic law, the Law has been astoundingly affected, when amended, by international factors—the U.S. Special 301 as well as the TRIPS. Criminal penalty is subject to rigorous principles and purposes because of its serious violation of people’s basic rights. Any action in punishment of copyright violation on the criminal penalty basis should have effects enough to meet purposes of the Law and criminal penalty. The infusion of criminal penalty clauses into the Law has been controversial. In addition to introducing protection measures in the international society, current stipulations in the Law and impacts on its penalty amendments from international factors, the thesis analyzes existing disputes about the Law’s penalty clause and proposes its decriminalization, as well as its alternative solution. It is my humble hope that such proposals would be taken into consideration in the Law’s future amendment.

Full textAbstract:
Given the overwhelming financial and human costs of crime committed through the incorporated entity, this thesis explores corporate criminal liability in criminal law as a mechanism of social control for corporate crime. First, this thesis traces the fundamental claims regarding corporate criminal liability in both the jurisprudential and sociological literatures in an effort to explore how law applies liability in a criminal context to the incorporated entity. Second, the contemporary corporate criminal liability landscape in Canada is examined. In particular, an examination of Bill C-45 as codified corporate criminal liability and as criminal law in action is empirically grounded in a detailed review of both the black letter law of corporate criminal liability and the judicial case documents on prosecutions against incorporated entities for corporate crimes. Finally, this thesis analyzes the socio-legal environment of corporate criminal liability through its construction and operation within Canadian criminal law. Overall, as a result of the legal, cultural, political, and economic privileges of the incorporated entity, corporate criminal liability is a product of a socio-legal environment that inhibits the ability of criminal law to be an effective mechanism of social control for corporate crime. Only when corporate criminal liability recognizes the complexities of the social, economic, and organizational structures and practices that are shaping corporate criminal activities can it become an effective mechanism for regulating the most harmful corporate misconduct. Otherwise, as this thesis demonstrates, corporate criminal liability will continue to be all bark and no bite.Thesis (Master, Sociology) -- Queen's University, 2014-06-17 16:56:40.627

It is more than 6 yeas as of the moment when Act No. 418/2011 Coll., on penal liability of legal entities and proceedings against them, entered into effect, however, in spite of it inland legal regulation still offers a number of key application and conceptional issues. The achieved objective of the dissertation work submitted was to provide comprehensive and detailed interpretation of the existing legal regulation of the conditions when criminal liability of legal entities is established and to point out, in that interpretation, to some of its particularities, deficiencies or ambiguities in the interpretation. In order to achieve that objective, the author dealt with not only Czech legal regulation as such, however, also with wider topics that clarify the origination of this form of penal liability but that can also help interpreting problematic legal institutes or be the basis for next amendments to the law, if any.

Thus the aim of this thesis is not only to analyse this legislation and provide a comprehensive and clear interpretation, including a critical evaluation of selected institutes, but also to introduce the process leading to its adoption, including a comparison of the arguments in favour of adopting such a decision with the arguments presented by the opponents of the criminal liability of legal entities. An equally important aim of the thesis is an analytical evaluation of application knowledge and the presentation of potential de lege ferenda proposals. However, such considerations require a sufficient command of terminology, as well as of the basic principles of criminal law, which is the content of Chapter One of the thesis. Chapter Two is dedicated to the fundamental change in the concept of legal entities brought about by the new Civil Code, which leans towards the theory of fiction, thereby causing considerable tension.

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis focuses on the topic of criminal liability of legal entities, particularly on the concept of exculpation within the meaning of Section 8 subsection 1 paragraph b) and subsection 5 of the Act No. 418/2011 Coll., Act on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceeding Against Them. The reason for our focus rests in fact that the legal rules regulating the concept of exculpation in this act are highly controversial among legal scholars and legal practitioners where there is usually no relevant case law providing answers for resolving such controversies so far. The aim of this thesis is to introduce to the domestic law a not very familiar instrument of a compliance program consisting of preventive, detective and reactive measures designed to prevent criminal behaviour within legal entities, to eventually detect such behaviour and to respond to such behaviour. Concurrently, an effective compliance program can fulfil conditions for the application of the exculpation provisions. Even though the focus of this thesis is on criminal liability of legal entities, it does not omit the context of administrative and civil liability. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the concept of criminal liability of legal entities in a broader historic, legal and...

Resume Criminal liability of legal entities is relatively new institute in continental legal culture and the Czech republic was one of the last countries in Europe that accepted this concept. In addition, this concept was introduced not by the conviction of its necessity, but for reasons of international policy. Criminal liability of legal entities, however, was introduced to Czech law by Act no. 418/2011 Sb., on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and their Prosecution. Therefore it is necessary to deal with this issue. The aim of this thesis is to make a comprehensive analysis of the Act on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and their Prosecution, to analyze its most important provisions, as well as to define the provisions which are considered problematic, together with proposals for amendments and further innovation of current legislation. The first chapter defines the concept of legal entity that the Act on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and their Prosecution doesn't define itself. The second chapter contains a summary of the events that led to the adoption of the Act, further consideration about the models of liability of legal entities and mentions the main arguments for and against adopting the Act.

The aim of the present thesis was to determine the problems of the current legislation of the criminal liability of legal persons and to consider whether it is possible to adopt the legislation as it is applied in England and Wales and use it into the legal order of the Czech Republic in compliance with the development of Czech legislation and England and Wales. Due to the extensiveness of the issue, only certain problematic parts of the legal order of the criminal liability of legal persons in the Czech Republic were selected. Attention was focused on the questionable parts selected only from the substantive part of the law. The approach to criminal liability of legal persons is diverse in the Anglo-American system. Variation can be seen at the level of individual states belonging to the system and at the federal and state levels. The first part of the thesis summarizes the development of the legal liability of legal persons in England and Wales, which were selected as the representatives of the Anglo-American system of legal culture. These countries were chosen because of the author's personal experience, which was gained during studies abroad, specifically in the United Kingdom. The first selected problem is the personal scope of the law, which is problematic due to the large range of persons to...

This thesis deals with selected issues in sanctioning of legal persons. In particular, it focuses on sanctions applicable to legal persons under the act on criminal liability of legal persons. I selected this topic since I am interested in criminal law, especially in criminal liability of legal persons. I decided to focus on sanctioning of legal persons, or more precisely on selected issues thereof, since there are many reasons why this topic is subject of passionate discussions about the act. Based on theoretical and practical findings, this thesis aims to analyze whether the current state of law in the area of sanctioning of legal persons in the act on criminal liability of legal persons is perfect and fully sufficient, or whether it requires amending.

The present study seeks to understand the outbreak of the worldwide phenomenon called criminal compliance. To this end, an initial comparative analysis of the instrument will be undertaken in the countries where it is already most developed, such as the United States, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Chile and Argentina. Trying to relate it to the present society in which we live, called "risk society", it will be demonstrated its relation with the increasingly frequent self-regulation, which now finally reaches the Criminal Law. In this sense, the work investigates the modalities of attribution of guilt of the legal entity and its relation with the compliance, discussing what is the true concept of this institute and what are its true elements, creating inquiries about its most controversial aspects. In the end, we will try to give some suggestions for the legal systems of Brazil and Portugal, with a view to the evolution of compliance in these countries. As this is a very new and relatively unexplored topic, this study is more interested in laying the groundwork for further discussion than in actually reaching conclusions that would certainly be unfinished.The present study seeks to understand the outbreak of the worldwide phenomenon called criminal compliance.

Full textAbstract:
Legal awareness is very low in general, not only among children but also among adults. However, increased attention should be paid to legal awareness among young people. This applies particularly to pupils leaving the basic schools. Most of them finish the mandatory school attendance at the age of fifteen. The moment is associated with the issue of awareness of their criminal liability and the related, at least elementary, awareness of some acts. I believe that this topic is generally very much neglected and this thesis should contribute to its better understanding. It should be noted that a newpenal code will come into effect on 1 January 2010. Some changes contained in the code will be described in my thesis. The objective of my thesis was to map the level of legal awareness among pupils attending the ninth grade of basic schools in the fields of penal, civil and labor laws. The thesis also sought to map the primary prevention implemented in this area at basic schools. I have used a qualitative approach in my thesis and to collect the data I have employed individual semi-standardized interviews. Based on materials I had studied, the interviews included questions concerning some basic knowledge of penal, labor and civil law, as well as questions dealing with drug issues and questions about the completed primary prevention at schools. The respondents were ninth-graders living in my neighborhood. The total number of approached respondents was 10 (5 girls and 5 boys). The qualitative research has shown that young people do not have sufficient legal awareness of basic issues in labor, civil and, last but not least, penal law. My research has also confirmed that the completed primary prevention fails to perform its function. In my opinion is it desirable to develop an integral overview of this issue.
