Misguided Effort with Elusive Implications
2016
Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, and less susceptibility to crime and addictions. In contrast, self-control failure is linked to maladaptive outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms by which self-control predicts behavior may assist in promoting better regulation and outcomes. A popular approach to understanding self-control is the strength or resource depletion model. Self-control is conceptualized as a limited resource that becomes depleted after a period of exertion resulting in self-control failure. The model has typically been tested using a sequential-task experimental p…
Panel — Assessing Critical Social Theory Research in Information Systems
1997
The Critical Social Theory (CST) program of information systems research is now just over a decade old. Although the number of researchers associated with the CST program are few, they have had a disproportionately larger impact on the field than other research communities. The main reason for this disproportionate impact can be found in the intense and incisive radical critiques of the foundational assumptions of our field that CST researchers have conducted. These radical critiques have helped to open up the theoretical debate on IS research and point out new directions for future inquiry. But as we turn the century, new challenges are emerging. New information technologies (IT) are rapid…

Neorepublicans like Philip Pettit and Frank Lovett claim that neorepublicanism provides a superior normative research program compared to egalitarian-liberalism. Particularly, they argue that neore...

El significado de la crítica y de la responsabilidad política en Iris Marion Young
2013
Este artículo tiene el objetivo de mostrar cómo la concepción de la crítica en Iris Marion Young consiste en articular la teoría crítica de la sociedad con el análisis fenomenológico. Ello es fundamental para que considere que la injusticia se basa en la opresión y defender la responsabilidad política para luchar contra las injusticias. Esa articulación entre teoría crítica y análisis fenomenológico se puede apreciar en su descripción de las tensiones entre lo estructural y lo inmediato en las formas de conseguir justicia. Si la opresión es la forma fundamental de injusticia, la responsabilidad política es la clave para entender su propuesta de buscar en lo político una forma de atenuar las…
Criminal Mediation as a Restorative Instrument for Victim: In All Cases and for All Victims?
2012
Insofar as the intention is to provide legal protection, to speak of victims and of certain victims in particular, implies recalling the obscure past that enveloped them with regard to their invisibility in the criminal system as a whole. Society assumed the burden of the criminal response, through the expropriation of the victims’ rights by the State in the interests of that social safeguard. We have for centuries accepted that it was what society required –it was the conquest of civilization, ending “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” and the lex talionis. That was the best solution, although the outcome of these responses to that situation, owing to frustration, disenchantment an…
MANIFESTACIONES DE JUSTICIA TERAPÉUTICA DERIVADAS DEL PRINCIPIO DE OPORTUNIDAD (II): MEDIACIÓN (Manifestations of Therapeutic Justice Arising Out of …
2019
Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual vive un momento complejo, inquietante y paradojicamente contradictorio, en el que concurre una abracadabrante expansion masiva del Derecho Penal, que abandono su consideracion de ultima ratio hace ya algunas decadas para convertirse en la prima ratio. Una sociedad que sostiene una tension entre la tutela de la ciudadania y una sobredimensionada busqueda de la “seguridad”. Y es esa idea de la seguridad la que ha gestado enormes cambios en las normas penales, propulsando una imparable metamorfosis en la legislacion. Normas que se suceden a alta velocidad, germinando una suerte de anomia legislativa en muchos casos; normas que han incorporado nuevas modalid…
Criminal Mediation, an Instrument for Victim Visibility, a Component of Criminal Access to Justice
2018
Insofar as the intention is to provide legal protection, to speak of victims and of certain victims in particular, implies recalling the obscure past that enveloped them with regard to their invisibility in the criminal system as a whole.

INFLUENCIA DE LA UNION EUROPEA E INSTANCIAS SUPRANACIONALES EN LA TUTELA PENAL DE LA VÍCTIMA, EN LA JUSTICIA RESTAURATIVA Y LA MEDIACION PENAL (Influ…
2019
Spanish Abstract: La larga historia del derecho penal y del proceso penal arrastra una palmaria ausencia de la victima, fruto de una concepcion ideologica politica, y en gran medida religiosa, que impregno siglos y siglos el significado mismo de la respuesta social penal. El transcurso del tiempo y muy probablemente los movimientos gestados en favor de las victimas han propiciado un cambio timido en sus origenes, sobre la decada de los anos setenta, si bien poco a poco consolidado, en gran medida fruto de los impulsos que desde instancias supranacionales se han efectuado, dando lugar a la adopcion de medidas que favorecen la incorporacion de la victima en el modelo de justicia penal moderno…
MEDIACIÓN POST SENTENTIAM EN DELITOS DE TERRORISMO. DE LA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE A LA RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE (Especial referencia a los encuentros entre…
2016
Spanish Abstract: En la ya larga historia del Derecho Penal se ha venido anudando la ideologia politica y la concepcion de Estado con los postulados politicos y juridicos que conformaron en el Siglo XIX el denominado Derecho Penal clasico. Desde esos postulados el Derecho Penal asumia un papel retributivo, primero, y preventivo, despues, si bien la evolucion politica, juridica y social, e incluso economica, ha modulado algunos de aquellos postulados, incorporando, desde finales del Siglo XX, algunas practicas restaurativas. Asi, aun conservando respuestas preventivas mas o menos represiva, con ciertos tintes utilitaristas de la pena, la justicia restaurativa ha ido adentrandose en la mayor …
