"Words hurt for life" – legal aspects of verbal punishment of children

Author(s): Sylwia Różycka-Jaroś / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

This paper is dedicated to the issues of verbal punishment of children during the upbringing process. Statistics show that this is the most common type of punishment of children used by parents. Unfortunately, it often takes the form of a humiliating criticism, shouts or intimidation. All this affects negatively the child’s psyche. Taking into consideration the amendments which introduced a total prohibition on using corporal punishment towards children to Polish legislation, the issue of the limits of verbal punishments permitted by law still remains unsolved. Apart from a short definition and the description of the scale of this phenomenon, this paper is mainly dedicated to a legal analysis, which takes into account the stances of the doctrines of criminal and civil law. This paper attempts to give a straight answer to the doubts concerning this matter.

#18 Corruption in Public Procurement: Risks and Reform Policies

#18 Corruption in Public Procurement: Risks and Reform Policies

Author(s): Konstantin Pashev,Assen Dyulgerov,Georgi Kaschiev / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2006

Public procurement is among those spheres in the management of the public sector in Bulgaria which are characterized by the highest corruption risk. Generally speaking, the abuses in this sphere relate to the awarding of the public procurement contract to a pre-selected supplier to the detriment of the public interest through violation of the principles of competition for the purpose of gaining personal benefit. The report examines the corruption in public procurement and assesses the losses from it. It also focuses on big corruption in public procurement with a view to the fine-tuning of the policy tools. This type of corruption covers all transactions and procedures which fall or should fall within the scope of the public procurement legislation. These are most of the supplies whose price or qualitative parameters are subject to negotiation between the contracting authorities in the public sector and the suppliers from the private sector.

Author(s): Maria Yordanova,Dimitar Markov / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2012

#33 Extortion racketeering in the EU: vulnerability factors

#33 Extortion racketeering in the EU: vulnerability factors

Author(s): Atanas Rusev,Lorella Garofalo,Elena Sciandra,Andrea Gimenez-Salinas,Carmen Jorda,Manuel de Juan Espinosa,Tihomir Bezlov,Margarita Gasparinatou,Irene Stamouli,Sofia Vidali,Marina Marchiaro,Valentina Giampietri,Radu Nicolae / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2016

Extortion racketeering has been long pointed out as the defining activity of organised crime. Although in recent years this crime has not been among the top listed organised crime threats in the strategic EU policy documents, it still remains ever present in European countries. The seriousness of the phenomenon has been recognised at the EU level and the crime has been listed in a number of EU legal acts in the field of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The report Extortion racketeering in the EU: vulnerability factors analyses extortion racketeering forms and practices in six EU member states. The analysis disentangles the risk and the vulnerability factors for enterprises in two business sectors – agriculture and hospitality – as well as in the Chinese communities. Drawing on the results of the analysis, the report suggests new policies for tackling extortion racketeering in the EU. This report has been produced with the joint efforts of the Center for the Study of Democracy, Instituto de Ciencias Forenses y de la Seguridad – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Transcrime – Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano and Vitosha Research and with the support of Guardia Civil in Spain.

(Nad)reprezentacja interesów w procesie kształtowania polityki publicznej na przykładzie obszaru prawno-autorskiego w Polsce

Author(s): Agnieszka Vetulani-Cęgiel / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 2/2020

The article is focused on the issue of the representation of interests in the process of shapingpublic policies. In particular, it addresses issues related to regulatory management regardingrelations with interest groups and strategies used by stakeholders in consultationprocesses. In addition, we aim to discuss the role that interest groups play in public policies.The analysis concerns the activities of Polish interest groups in the area of copyright,which deserves attention due to the diversity of actors and the asymmetry of interests.The analysis makes it possible to state that the actions taken by stakeholders in strengtheningthe representation of their interests lead to “overrepresentation” of these interests,which – in the absence of appropriate regulatory management mechanisms for the participationof parties in consultations – increases the risk of the phenomenon of “regulatorycapture” by entities. The data was collected as part of the legislative monitoring of draftsof legal-copyright laws proceeded in 2013–2019, as well as semi-structured interviewsconducted in 2015–2018. In order to illustrate lobbying strategies, a method of analyzingsocial networks was used.

(Ne)morální advokáti: problém ospravedlnění norem profesní etiky

(Ne)morální advokáti: problém ospravedlnění norem profesní etiky

Author(s): Martin Hapla / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 4/2019

The norms of professional ethics often impose different standards of conduct on lawyers in the practicing of their profession than they would apply to an ordinary person in the same situation. The article analyzes how we can justify these differences through various ethical theories. The author describes the legal ethics as a set of legal and moral norms. He then analyzes the problem of its justification. Attention is first dedicated to various deontological approaches (eg Charles Fried, David Luban). The author analyzes their disadvantages and concludes that they must primarily emphasize the importance of moral and rational agency if they are to be credible. He evaluates utilitarian justification as appropriate. It is also this justification, combined with some pragmatic aspects, that is able to credibly justify the legal ethics. Both groups of approaches can be considered relevant and therefore it is not appropriate to exclude any of them from the professional ethics debate.

(Ni)kakav osvrt? Period 1933-1945. iz ugla jednog notara

Author(s): Oliver Vossius / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3-4/2016

Author puts forth view that after 1945. the Third Reich became a topic to be reviewed not merely by historians. In the 1960’s lawyers also begin to analyse their own past. Professor Ilse Staff (born in 1928) is at the forefront of this movement. Her book „Judiciary in the Third Reich: A Documentation“, published in 1964, encouraged numerous German lawyers to face the evils of country’s authoritarian past. In his text, Vossius presents results of years of analysing the abuse of German law during Nazi rule. One of the main topics of his research is the role of notaries in the forced appropriation of property from the Jews. He closes his presentation in the following way: „We probably owe gratituted to total defeat of 1945 and the subsequent regime of occupation zones for being at all able to discuss this topic in Germany today. After the initial hesitation, this still lead to the regaining of conscience. I don’t know if world will necessary become a better place in this manner. Fritz Bauer once said „We cannot make Heaven on Earth, but each one of us is capable of contributing to making it Hell“. In this regard, casting a look backwards seems a better option than to overlook or repress such a problem“.

3P, un „virus” reactivat, care amenință sănătatea justiției penale

3P, un „virus” reactivat, care amenință sănătatea justiției penale

Author(s): Valerian Cioclei / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2020

Populist penal policy (in short 3P), this is the "virus" subject to this analysis. There are some "clinical signs" that suggest that we are in a period of reactivation of this virus. This is the hypothesis that needs to be verified. As such, in the good medical methodological tradition (because we are talking about a virus) it is necessary, firstly, a short “epidemiological anamnesis” (I), after which, an evaluation of the “current pathological condition” (II).

A Comparative Assessment On Same-Sex Relations Ship Regulation Freedom In The European Area

A Comparative Assessment On Same-Sex Relations Ship Regulation Freedom In The European Area

Author(s): Oana Răvaş / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

It may be noted that some legislation assimilates the same legal status as marriages between persons of the opposite sex and for people of different sex, while in other countries, the legal system is different, trying some similarities, while others prohibit any formalization of home these bonds and hence the economic effects driven by them. Similarly, regulated and free union of opposite-sex outside marriage officially recognized. Also, given the fact that in Europe some states allowed gay marriage and others do not, the question of the effects of such marriages in states that do not recognize. In other words, it can make a major debate to what extent non-recognition of such marriages can be considered as a breach of Art. 12 (right to marry) and even art. 8 (right to private and family life) and even art. 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

A DUAL PERSPECTIVE IN LEGAL TRANSLATION

A DUAL PERSPECTIVE IN LEGAL TRANSLATION

Author(s): Radegundis STOLZE / Language(s): English / Issue: 7/2014

The article describes, on the basis of hermeneutics, the specific perspective from which a translator may approach legal texts, as translation is seen as a personalized activity. Different text types are rooted in a specific legal system and fulfil their function within a special field of law, and the cultural and legal background is evident in linguistic aspects on a textual level. Comparative law carries out research on the differences in legal concepts, whereas translation studies and practice use this knowledge as a basis for work. Legal terminology has various levels of abstraction and appears in texts along with general language words. Fields of orientation for the translator are presented here, such as legal contexts, genre, concepts and style. This should be combined with proficiency in writing according to the text function, terminology and standard formulae. The translator tries to make source cultural and legal aspects transparent for target readers, as translation is always a means of comprehension that furthers communication.

A hybrid version of well-being: An attempt at operationalisation

Author(s): Tomasz Kwarciński,Paweł Ulman / Language(s): English / Issue: 46/2018

Objectives: This paper aims to investigate the possibility of constructing a hybrid version of well-being and making an attempt at its operationalisation.Research Design & Methods: The theoretical framework is based on the capability approach of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, while the empirical part of the paper refers to a fuzzy set theory.Findings: We propose three measures of hybrid well-being, referring to (1) the minimum formula, (2) a mobility index, and (3) the concept of internalities. Implications / Recommendations: We are convinced that it is not only possible to create a philosophically informed measure of well-being, but also that this kind of measure can be crucial in the context of public policy due to its sensitivity to autonomy and adaptation problems.Contribution / Value Added: Findings of this research can be seen as an attempt to merge philosophical investigation with economics theories and applications. Article Classification: Conceptual articleKeywords: well-being, hybrid well-being, capability approach, autonomy, adaptationJEL classification: I31, I39

A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE ON MULTICULTURALISM AS A FACTOR OF INFLUENCE IN THE NEGOCIATION OF CONTRACTS

A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE ON MULTICULTURALISM AS A FACTOR OF INFLUENCE IN THE NEGOCIATION OF CONTRACTS

Author(s): Maria Magdalena Bârsan,Maria-Magdalena Cardis / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

Nowadays, the impact of the cultural factor seems to be restricted, based on the globalization tendency which exists. However, in regard to the negotiation of contracts between partners from different states, this impact presents significant importance. The present study aims to describe some aspects of the way in which the multiculturalism of parties influences the process of negotiation, as well as the legal provisions, without claiming to exhaust the subject. We have also considered the unified regulations which govern this matter.

A Socratic Contribution to Culture of Lawfulness for Teaching Criminology

Author(s): Sławomir Redo,Emil W. Pływaczewski,Agnieszka Langowska,Przemysław Alkowski / Language(s): English / Issue: 23/2018

A Study on Assertivness, Efficiency and the Quality of Judicial Work

Author(s): Aleksandar Mojašević,Sandra Mojašević / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

A Study on Assertivness, Efficiency and the Quality of Judicial WorkThe subject matter of this research is the correlation between the judges’ assertiveness and the efficiency and quality of judicial work. The primary aim is to examine whether there is a correlation between the judges’ assertiveness, on the one hand, and the efficiency and quality of their work, on the other hand. The second aim is to explore the correlation between the efficiency and quality of judicial work. The starting premise is that there is a correlation between particular indicators of these variables. Judges’ assertiveness is a conditionally independent variable used as a referential point for measuring two conditionally dependent variables: the efficiency and the work quality of the judiciary. The assertiveness was measured by a standardized questionnaire which was distributed to a research sample including 40 judges from the Criminal Department and the Civil Department of the Basic Court in Niš in May 2015. The efficiency of judicial work was measured by employing four indicators: the clearance rate (CR), the disposition time (DT), the clearance coefficient (CC) and the percentage of solved cases as related to the total number of cases (PS), whereas the quality of judicial work was assessed by measuring the overall work quality (WQ). The data on the efficiency and quality of judicial work were collected from the 2014 Report on the work of the judges in the Civil Department and the Criminal Department of the Basic Court in Niš. Contrary to our expectation, the most important finding is that there is no correlation between assertiveness and the efficiency and quality of judicial work; however, there are various correlations between the aforementioned indicators of efficiency and quality of judicial work.

Abandonment of Family. Issues of Legal Practice

Abandonment of Family. Issues of Legal Practice

Author(s): Mihaela Laura Pamfil / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2Special/2020

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the crime of abandonment of family and the legal issues that this crime poses, starting from a concrete deed that represented the object of file no. 1637/333/2018 consecutively pending before Vaslui District Court, the Iași Court of Appeal and, again, the Vaslui District Court. The object of the case was represented by the most common form found in the judicial practice of the crime of abandonment of family, respectively the one provided by S.378 (1) (c) Criminal Code, according to which the failure to pay, in bad faith, for 3 months, of the child support established by court, by the person who has the legal obligation of support, to the one entitled to support, is punished by imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years or by a fine. In case of this form of the crime of abandonment of family, the factual element referring to the moment of committing the crime is vital as the existence of the crime is conditioned by the failure to pay the child support for 3 months. Moreover, in case of the crime of abandonment of family, the criminal action is initiated upon the prior complaint of the injured person, so that the establishment of the initial moment of the deed is important in terms of checking compliance with the condition of filing a prior complaint within the legal deadline.

About Security in Contemporary World

About Security in Contemporary World

Author(s): Ladislav Hofreiter / Language(s): English / Issue: 21/2015

The task to ensure security in contemporary world is a complicated political, scientific-technological and socio-economic problem. As the security itself is complicated, multifactor and hierarchized phenomen also its investigation has to be of an interdisciplinary character. The character of security environment, the character of security risks and threats and also the character of tools for their elimination are essentially changing. The basis to security of social subject consisted in arrangement of the conditions for their existence, to surviving in the present time and advancement into the future. Assurance of this condition means it provided ability to the social subjects to eliminated threats that are defined. In situations of asymmetrical security, the threats are not always clearly defined. They often consist of their own structure systems, in relationships and status the subjects of internationals relations. Asymmetrical of security, by our opinion, presents a discrepancy, unbalance, non-parity between subjects of the international security environment. The unbalance, discrepancy, non-parity has political, military, economic, law, social and societal dimensions.
