Mafia Methods, Extortion Dynamics and Social Responses

2016

This chapter is devoted to exploring both the empirical results and the policy proposals produced by the GLODERS project. Based on 631 cases of extortions, the Sicily and Calabria extortion database represents a relevant achievement in the field of the research on extortion racket and it is one of the main results of the GLODERS project. Gathering a great amount of information, our empirical analysis revealed the existence of several differences in the extortive conducts carried on within these two regions, which are presented. Moreover, the chapter introduces the legislation related to the crime of extortion. Social and legal responses to the phenomenon are then discussed.

In this article, we provide information on climate change based on precisely dated speleothems with the response evident in archaeological sites that have radiocarbon date ranges within the same time frame. A stalagmite recovered from within the catchment area for aquifer recharge of the Pre-Arawak site of Angostura in Barceloneta, Puerto Ric…

INTEGRACIÓN DE LA MEDIACION EN LA JUSTICIA PENAL. SUPUESTOS ESPECIALES (Integration of Criminal Mediation in Criminal Justice. Some Special Cases)

2014

Spanish Abstract: En el momento actual que vivimos hablar de mediacion penal es ya una realidad incuestionable. Una mirada al pasado nos lleva a afirmar que no siempre fue asi y que la evolucion de este devenir no ha sido un camino de rosas. Antes al contrario, su entendimiento, aceptacion e incorporacion a los ordenamientos juridicos fue mucho mas lenta que en el ambito de lo disponible -civil, mercantil, laboral etc- e incluso todavia hay determinados ordenamientos en los que existe una gran resistencia a su aceptacion, siendo especialmente significativo en alguno de ellos, como por ejemplo Japon, que viene arrastrando una larga historia cultural de mediacion civil, comercial, social, sie…
