    Toward an integrated approach to domestic violence: Trans-Atlantic insights and a pilot in Rotterdam

    No full text
    Huiselijk geweld is een veelvoorkomend probleem met schadelijke gevolgen. Niet alleen strafrechtelijke, maar ook familierechtelijke aspecten kunnen een rol spelen, zoals een echtscheiding en/of een ondertoezichtstelling. In Rotterdam vindt sinds afgelopen najaar een pilot plaats waarbij dit soort zaken, in navolging van integrated domestic violence courts in New York, op een geïntegreerde manier worden behandeld. Men streeft ernaar dat één rechter zich buigt over zowel de strafrechtelijke als de familierechtelijke aspecten. Dit artikel beschrijft de Rotterdamse pilot en een eerste indruk van de ervaringen daarmee tegen de achtergrond van een in 2016 uitgevoerd rechtsvergelijkend en empirisch onderzoek. De Rotterdamse pilot is onder meer interessant, doordat deze deel uitmaakt van een bredere opkomst van maatschappelijk effectieve rechtspraak. Ook hier kan een trans-Atlantische voorloper worden ontwaard, namelijk in de vorm van problem-solving justice. Het artikel beoogt deze ontwikkelingen in de Nederlandse rechtspraak, en in het bijzonder de geïntegreerde aanpak van huiselijkgeweldzaken, in een breder perspectief te plaatsen

    Targeted Financial Sanctions: Criminal in Nature?: An Analysis of the Case Law of the ECtHR and the ECJ on the Nature of Targeted Financial Sanctions

    No full text
    Several rights guaranteed by the ECHR and the CFR are applicable only in case of a ‘criminal charge’. Therefore, it is important to know whether, or not, a certain sanction is criminal in nature. It is equally important that the CJEU qualifies the same sanctions as criminal in nature as the ECtHR does, since Article 52(3) CFR states that the meaning and scope of the rights provided by the CFR must be at least the same as the meaning and scope of corresponding rights provided by the ECHR. This article provides an analysis of both Courts’ case law on the qualification of targeted financial sanctions (criminal in nature or not?) and examines whether significant differences can be identified. One of the conclusions is that the Courts might differ on the qualification of administrative fines, but that future case law will have to elucidate whether this is indeed the case

    It Takes Two to Tango: Offenders’ Involvement in Decisions Regarding Sanctions, Measures and Conditions in Light of the ERCSM and ERProb. A Dutch Case Study

    This article examines the question to what extent offenders are involved in decisions regarding the sanction, measure and/or conditions that have been imposed upon them. More specifically, the article focuses on the offender’s involvement in the stage of implementation (or enforcement) of a conditional sentence or measure. It analyses Dutch legislation and practice on this point and evaluates them in light of the relevant provisions of the European Rules on Community Sanctions and Measures and the European Probation Rules. The research shows that Dutch legislation and practice are generally in conformity with these European instruments; all interviewed probation officers realise the importance of involving offenders and act upon this belief. However, on some points a higher level of offender involvement could be reached, and promoting the European rules amongst probation workers – who are mostly unaware of the existence of these rules – might contribute to this

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
