Criminal Law And The European Communities: Defining The Issues, Christine Van Den Wyngaert Jan 1983

Criminal Law And The European Communities: Defining The Issues, Christine Van Den Wyngaert

Michigan Journal of International Law

While the development of a common criminal justice policy lies more within the general objectives of the Council of Europe, of which all states composing the European Communities are members, there are nevertheless a number of problems which are specific to the Communities and which may call for a special response on their part. This article makes a short tour d'horizon of the different issues at stake and briefly describes the efforts which have been or are being undertaken to resolve them.

The Contours Of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In Drug Smuggling Cases, Stephen E. Chelberg Jan 1983

The Contours Of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In Drug Smuggling Cases, Stephen E. Chelberg

Michigan Journal of International Law

This note examines the contours of U.S. jurisdiction over drug smugglers on the high seas. After a brief discussion of the two principal U.S. drug statutes, the note considers the territorial and protective principles of jurisdiction as defined by U.S. courts. Controversy currently centers around whether U.S. drug laws apply to foreign ships, carrying controlled substances on the high seas, where there has been no showing of an intent to import the drugs into the United States.


Reflections On The Creation Of A Unified Criminal Law, Theo Vogler Jan 1983

Reflections On The Creation Of A Unified Criminal Law, Theo Vogler

Michigan Journal of International Law

Many commentators have pointed to the goal of creating a unified criminal law, accepted in all countries and accompanied by an international penal authority to secure its enforcement. It is easy to recognize the great advantages of a unified, global law. In the field of criminal law in particular, the compelling authority of a penal code would be much more persuasive to the individual citizen than today's criminal law, the proscriptions of which vary from state to state. The law appears arbitrary, generating exterior compliance but not true consent.

Extraordinary Writ Practice In Criminal Cases: Analogies For The Military Courts, Edward H. Cooper Jan 1983

Extraordinary Writ Practice In Criminal Cases: Analogies For The Military Courts, Edward H. Cooper

Articles

Extraordinary writs have two central functions in the hands of appellate courts. One is to enforce the court's mandate; there is no particular difficulty with this use of the writs, and no more need be said about it. The other function is to circumvent the ordinary channels of appellate review. In this function, writs operate as appeals in all but name. As this use has become more and more routine, it would be more appropriate to speak of them as "appeals writs" rather than extraordinary writs. My assignment is to speak of the experience with appeals writs in criminal cases …


The Impact Of Executions On Homicides: A New Look In An Old Light, Richard Lempert Jan 1983

The Impact Of Executions On Homicides: A New Look In An Old Light, Richard Lempert

Articles

Ehrlich's first point is that if one is searching for deterrence it is the law in action (i.e., the actual incidence of executions) rather than the law on the books (i.e., the presence or absence of the death penalty) which is crucial. His second point is that in order to spot deterrent effects other factors which might affect homicide rates, such as conviction rates and unemployment rates, must be held constant. Many of those who believe that Ehrlich's work is fundamentally flawed nevertheless accept these criticisms. This article follows Sellin's approach but takes account of Ehrlich's criticisms. Instead of comparing …
