Enlightened paternalism: the prohibition of corporal punishment in Spanish public schools in the nineteenth century
2014
In order to analyse the cultural values of Spanish liberalism, this paper describes the prohibition of corporal punishment in secondary education. The evolution of education laws and codes during the nineteenth century reveals great hope and confidence in building up an academic authority based exclusively on the power of reason and capable of ruling an ordered society. However, the study of documents found in the Instituto de Valencia historical archives highlights the difficulty of maintaining discipline as well as managing the political motivations of rebellious students, who demanded more autonomy from the academic authority.
Sonia ou le sens retrouvé. Notes sur la rédemption et le salut dans Crime et châtiment
2013
Este artículo propone un nuevo acercamiento a los temas de la redención y de la salvación en Crimen y castigo a través del análisis del personaje de Sonia. Destacaremos que la novela de Dostoïevski está estructurada por una serie de interrogaciones sobre el bien y la salvación terrestre y divina a los cuales Sonia da nuevas respuestas y nuevo sentido. Estas interrogaciones son las siguientes: ¿en qué medida los hombres deben ser buenos? ¿cuáles son las condiciones de la salvación terrestre? Y, finalmente, ¿hay una salvación divina universal para todos los hombres, incluso los peores?
Carry a big stick, or no stick at all
2016
We investigate the effect of costly punishment in a trust game with endowment heterogeneity. Our findings indicate that the difference between the investor and the allocator’s initial endowments determines the effect of punishment on trust and trustworthiness. Punishment fosters trust only when the investor is wealthier than the allocator. Otherwise, punishment fails to promote trusting behavior. As for trustworthiness, the effect is just the opposite. The higher the difference between the investor and the allocator’s initial endowments, the less willing allocators are to pay back. We discuss the consistency of our findings with social preference models (like inequality aversion, reciprocit…
Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro
2020
Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…
Il potere della parola. Gli Inferni di Anton Francesco Doni
2022
Ad alimentare gli Inferni, edito da Anton Francesco Doni nel 1553, è la coscienza infelice della condizione umana e il desiderio di rivalsa dalle ingiustizie patite. Evidente, dunque, è l’intento polemico dell’opera, rappresentazione trasfigurata dei vizi terreni e ‘prefigurazione’ dei castighi riservati a chi ha smarrito un’etica del vivere. Ma a connotare gli Inferni è altresì la sua natura duplice e contraddittoria, evidente nell’immagine della ruota del supplizio eterno: pur veicolando immagini di fiera crudeltà, questo simbolo ambivalente rivela la sua affinità col cerchio, emblema di perfezione, nell’oscillazione fra mondo del divenire e dell’eterno ritorno e nel moto che ora eleva, o…
Parenting dimensions in relation to pre-schoolers’ behaviour problems in Latvia and Lithuania
2014
The aim of the present study was to examine associations between parenting and child behaviour problems in two neighbouring countries with subtle, yet apparent cultural differences. Participants were mothers and fathers of preschool-age children from Latvia and Lithuania. Parents completed a measure of child-rearing attitudes and reported on their child’s internalizing and externalizing behaviours. In both countries, parental warmth was negatively associated with child behaviour problems, and punishment orientation was positively associated. There were differences by country in the association of paternal psychological control and behaviour problems, and in the interactions of parenting di…
Principios que rigen la responsabilidad internacional penal por crímenes internacionales
2012
La responsabilidad internacional penal de los individuos se inscribe en el marco de la lucha contra la impunidad de los crímenes más graves y tiene por objeto la persecución y sanción de los criminales que se encuentran a la cabeza de la empresa criminal. Por lo tanto, responde a una serie de principios generales de derecho penal y de derecho internacional que han sido sometidos a una evolución constante por parte de la jurisprudencia internacional. El artículo que se presenta a continuación muestra tal evolución y el estado actual de la discusión en el marco del Estatuto de Roma.
Understanding University Library Users' Mistreatment of Books
2009
This paper analyses university library users' attitudes towards book vandalism in order to develop a basis for intervention. Using a customer oriented approach data was collected from users who attended an academic library exhibition on vandalized books at a University campus. Respondants were asked both for their reactions to the vandalism as well as to suggest measures to solve this problem. Punishment and surveillance were most frequently mentioned as preventative measures although users also recognized the utility of the exhibition in increasing awareness of book mutilation. Further implications of social marketing for libraries are also discussed.
Punishment as Defiance: Deterrence and Perverse Effects in the Case of Expressive Crime
2013
Expressive crime contrasts with instrumental crime in that delinquents do not seek material benefits. Law-breakers are motivated by the desire to “make a statement”, possibly against majority attitudes in the society. Fighting expressive crime is complicated by this fact in that increasing intervention may have counter-effects. In this paper, I present a model of expressive crime. Delinquents are motivated to perform the illegal action because it transmits a signal. If the punishment associated with the crime affects the value of this signal positively, an increase in punishment may serve as defiance, and not as deterrence. Accordingly, the number of law violations may increase if those def…
The whip and the Bible : punishment versus internalization
2021
First published online: 27 August 2021 A variety of experimental and empirical research indicate that prosocial behavior is important for economic success. There are two sources of prosocial behavior: incentives and preferences. The latter, the willingness of individuals to “do their bit” for the group, we refer to as internalization, because we view it as something that a group can influence by appropriate investment. This implies that there is a trade-off between using incentives and internalization to encourage prosocial behavior. By examining this trade-off we shed light on the connection between social norms observed inside the laboratory and those observed outside in the field. For ex…
