Misure cautelari 'ad personam' in un triennio di riforme
Da molti anni, e da più parti, si sottolinea il problema, ormai di entità non più tollerabile, del sovraffollamento carcerario la cui soluzione richiede interventi strutturali rispetto ai ciclici provvedimenti di clemenza.È un dato di fatto che alla causazione del fenomeno contribuisca in maniera certamente non indifferente anche luso smodato della custodia cautelare.A venticinque anni dalla entrata in vigore del nuovo codice di procedura penale, in poco più di ventiquattro mesi, il legislatore, ricorrendo anche alla decretazione durgenza, nel cercare di porre in qualche modo rimedio allennesima \"emergenza carceri\", si è ancora una volta affidato ad interventi \"tampone\", volti ad incidere in vario modo su singoli profili della disciplina delle misure cautelari personali. Si è, così, assistito al susseguirsi di ben otto provvedimenti legislativi settoriali (cinque decreti e tre leggi) che, lungi dal realizzare una meditata riforma sistemica della materia, hanno invece apportato - con risultati, invero, non sempre armonici e coerenti - ritocchi sparsi e frammentari.La sensazione netta è che si sia perduta una grande occasione per concretizzare i venti riformistici che, anche sulla scorta delle sollecitazioni provenienti da organismi internazionali, si sono sviluppati negli ultimi tempi.ALESSANDRO DIDDI, è ricercatore confermato di Procedura Penale nellUniversità degli Studi di Roma \"Tor Vergata\", Professore a contratto di Procedura penale nellUniversità della Calabria e svolge lattività di avvocato.

American terrorism trials : prosecutorial and defense strategies
Since 1980, prosecutors and defense attorneys handling federal terrorism trials have developed politicized strategies and counter strategies unique to terrorism trials, and those strategies have had a significant impact on case outcomes. Moreover, case outcomes were positively impacted by proactive policy changes implemented in the wake of 9/11. Building on structural contextual theory and the hydraulic effect, Shields finds that when prosecutors rely less heavily on highly politicized prosecution strategies, conviction rates increased. In fact, his findings indicate that the more prosecutors politicize a case, the more likely the case goes to trial, increasing the odds of acquittal.

The Cost of Plea Bargains
From its early days in New England townships to its rise to dominance in the 20th century, plea bargaining has always presented both benefits and challenges. But how does a system obtain the benefits of these bargains without jeopardizing the fundamental rights at the center of the criminal justice system?The Cost of Plea Bargains contains the complete task force report, including the 14 Principles that have now been adopted as the official policy of the ABA. These 14 Principles, which cover a host of topics such as the use of impermissibly coercive incentives, the use of pretrial detention in plea bargaining, the provision of adequate discovery before a defendant pleads guilty, and the collection of plea bargaining data by the courts, offer a vision for a fairer, more transparent, and more just plea bargain system. In addition, readers are offered deeper insights into many of the concepts, concerns, and proposals raised in the task force's findings through chapters authored by task force members representing various corners of the criminal justice system.The Cost of Plea Bargains is an insightful read for anyone with an interest in our legal system. From the casual reader interested in learning more about plea bargaining to practitioners, courts, and policy makers interested in furthering their understanding of the challenges to reform. The Cost of Plea Bargains offers a wealth of knowledge, insight, and inspiration.

Defending the jury : crime, community, and the Constitution
\"This book sets forth a new approach to twenty-first-century criminal justice and punishment, an approach that fully involves the community and provides a better way to make our criminal process more transparent and inclusive. Using the prism of the Sixth Amendment community jury trial, this book offers fresh and much-needed ways to incorporate the citizenry into the procedures of criminal justice, thereby resulting in greater investment and satisfaction in the system. It exposes the various challenges the American criminal justice system faces because of its ongoing failure to integrate the community's voice.Ultimately, the people's right to participate in the criminal justice system through the criminal law -- a right that is all too often overlooked -- is essential to truly legitimizing the criminal process and ensuring its democratic nature\"-- Back cover.

Not Guilty
A brilliant book that masterfully debunks the conventional wisdom that those who are charged with crimes in our criminal justice system, even when they are acquitted at trial, are almost certainly guilty. It is a data-driven tour de force. --Richard A. Leo, author of Police Interrogation and American Justice. Givelber and Farrell make a persuasive case that most jury acquittals are based on evidence not emotion, and that acquittals should be taken to mean what they say: that the defendant is Not Guilty. --Samuel Gross, co-author of A Modern Approach to Evidence: Text, Problems, Transcripts, and Cases. As scores of death row inmates are exonerated by DNA evidence and innocence commissions are set up across the country, conviction of the innocent has become a well-recognized problem. But our justice system makes both kinds of errors - we acquit the guilty and convict the innocent - and exploring the reasons why people are acquitted can help us to evaluate the efficiency and fairness of our criminal justice system. Not Guilty provides a sustained examination and analysis of the factors that lead juries to find defendants not guilty, as well as the connection between those factors and the possibility of factual innocence, examining why some criminal trials result in not guilty verdicts and what those verdicts suggest about the accuracy of our criminal process.
