Transformative reparations: changing the game or more of the same?

2026-04-09T15:25:46+00:00

Academics and practitioners have criticised this traditional approach to reparations for serious crimes and human rights violations as failing to address socio-economic disparities and unequal power structures. The recent transformative reparations theories grew out of the belief that it is ineffectual to place marginalised victims back in positions of marginalisation[...]

The autopsy surgeon plays a vital role in the investigation of a crime. His work importance mainly increases in the bodies which are brought dead, with no witnesses and no proper history.

Gender, crime and discretion in the English criminal justice system, 1780s to 1830s

2026-04-02T04:04:32+00:00

Historians of English crime and criminal justice agree that females are more leniently treated by the criminal justice system. Fewer females are prosecuted for unlawful activities, and, when they are, they are more readily acquitted, or receive lighter sentences than males. However, reasons for this remain elusive. References to the paternalism of those involved in the system, together with notions about masculinity and femininity in a patriarchally ordered society, have been offered in the abse[...]

Заштита узбуњивача је добила на значају након светски познатих случајева који су допринели да се она прошири из својих темеља радног права на кривично право.

Universal jurisdiction : the unthinkable becomes thinkable (Podcast)

2026-04-02T17:02:50+00:00

Bringing perpetrators of crimes against humanity, war crimes, or genocide to justice is a complex task, and it tends to be extremely difficult to find courts willing to prosecute perpetrators within the territories where crimes have been committed. However, when domestic trials or referrals to an international court are not possible, universal jurisdiction offers a way to prosecute perpetrators of these crimes in other states. Universal jurisdiction has thus made the unthinkable thinkable: allow[...]

Normal pediatric postmortem CT appearances

2026-04-02T16:38:39+00:00

Postmortem radiology is a rapidly developing specialty that is increasingly used as an adjunct to or substitute for conventional autopsy. The goal is to find patterns of disease and possibly the cause of death. Postmortem CT images bring to light processes of decomposition most radiologists are unfamiliar with. These postmortem changes, such as the formation of gas and edema, should not be mistaken for pathological processes that occur in living persons. In this review we discuss the normal post[...]

Male captus bene detentus : how human rights law influenced the evolution of this practice

Truth versus impunity: Post-transitional justice in Argentina and the ‘human rights turn'

2026-03-27T06:11:41+00:00

The juridical treatment of the crimes committed by the Argentine dictatorship can be divided into two stages – the transitional phase proper (from 1983 to the 1990s) and the post-transitional phase (from the 1990s to the present day) – constituting a return trip from punishment to pardon, and back again.
