By focusing attention on individuals rather than on aggregates, this book takes a novel approach to studying criminal behavior.

In addition, an agenda for future research on criminal careers is presented.

Reward Governance for Senior Executives (Law Practitioner Series)

Publisher:Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages:256
Publication Date:2008-09-22
ISBN-10 / ASIN:052187159X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521871594
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
In areas such as dispute resolution, visibility and investor interest, the relationship between a senior executive employee and his or her employer differs materially from the relationship that most employees have with their employer. Executives are tools which help create shareholder value. A company's decision to employ one executive over another should be based on the ability of the potential employees to create shareholder value for the organisation. It is therefore essential to get both the appointment and contract right. Negotiating and agreeing the right contract requires an understanding of areas as diverse as valuation, employment law, tax and accounting. Covering the appointment of UK executives under contracts governed by UK law, this volume of essays is intended to help anyone involved in the appointment and termination process.

Canon Law, Careers and Conquest: Episcopal Elections in Normandy and Greater Anjou, c.1140-c.1230 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series)

Publication Date:2007-10-29
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0521880629
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521880626
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
A study of the politics of episcopal elections in twelfth and thirteenth-century Normandy and Greater Anjou. This was a crucial period in the development of canon law and J枚rg Peltzer offers the first analysis to bring together legal theory and practice, local custom, and politics. He explores the development of electoral theories and examines each election in context, offering insights into the varying balance of royal, papal and regional baronial power and the various career paths leading to an episcopal see. He shows how different systems of patronage worked, to what extent they were vehicles of social mobility, and how aristocratic families were structured. By comparing electoral practices in Normandy and Greater Anjou before and after the Capetian conquest the book significantly enhances our understanding of the theory and practice of canon law, local politics in Normandy and Anjou, and the high politics at the Capetian and Angevin courts.

Constitutional Politics in the Middle East: With Special Reference to Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan (Onati International Series in Law & Society)
By Said Amir Arjomand
Publisher:Hart Publishing (UK)
Number Of Pages:210
Publication Date:2008-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN:184113774X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841137742
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This is the first comparative and interdisciplinary study of constitutional politics and constitution-making in the Middle East. This innovative study provides an up-to-date analysis of the political and constitutional struggles in the Middle East. It is an important and topical issue that will be of interest to Middle East and policy specialists, political scientists and those concerned with constitutional studies. The publication of this book comes at an important time and the contributions, from leading specialists, add valuable insight into how political systems are constructed and reformed.The historical background and setting are fully explored in two substantial essays by Linda Darling and Said Amir Arjomand, placing the contemporary experience in the contexts, respectively, of the ancient Middle Eastern legal and political tradition and of the nineteenth and twentieth century legal codification and political modernization. These are followed by Ann Mayer's general analysis of the treatment of human rights in relation to Islam in Middle Eastern constitutions, and Nathan Brown's comparative scrutiny of the process of constitution-making in Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq with reference to the available constitutional theories which are shown to throw little or no light on it. The remaining essays are country by country case studies of Turkey, Afghanistan and Iraq, the case of Iran having been covered by Arjomand as the special point of reference.Mehmet Fevzi Bilgin examines the making and subsequent transformation of the Turkish Constitution of 1982 against current theories of constitutional and deliberative democracy, while Hootan Shambayati examines the institutional mechanism for protecting the ideological foundations of the Turkish Republic, most notably the Turkish Constitutional Court which offers a surprising parallel to the Iranian Council of Guardians. Arjomand's introduction brings together the bumpy experience of the Middle East along the long road to political reconstruction through constitution-making and constitutional reform, drawing some general analytical lessons from it and showing the consequences of the origins of the constitutions of Turkey and Iran in revolutions, and of Afghanistan and Iraq in war and foreign invasion.
