En Teoría del Delito en el Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales, Rubén Quintino Zepeda, investigador del INACIPE, indaga si, conforme al Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales (CNPP), es posible estructurar una teoría jurídica de la imputación y una teoría de los fines de las consecuencias jurídicas aplicables. Este libro da cuenta de la capacidad del autor para conceptualizar, problematizar e interpretar una ley a la luz de aspectos teóricos de las ciencias penales. Así, el lector puede conocer, de manera práctica y didáctica, el desarrollo histórico de la teoría del delito, así como un marco conceptual de sus elementos (como conducta, tipicidad, antijuridicidad y culpabilidad, entre otros). Al final, se responde a la pregunta de si las normas contenidas en el CNPP son sustantivas con las normas procesales a través del planteamiento y la solución de casos concretos.

La aportación más fina del derecho Penal está en su concepto de imputación. La imputación obedece a una determinada clasificación jurídica que la ley señale como delito. Sólo las conductas típicas, aquellas que la ley señala como delitos, son susceptibles de imputarse. Los elementos para la clasificación jurídica que la ley señale como delito están debidamente determinados en el Código Nacional de Procedimientos penales. En esta obra el autor llevó acabo la clasificación jurídica en 500 casos.

Following the USA, in many Western countries over the last decade, prison rates have increased while crime rates have declined. This key book examines the role played by penal populism on this and other trends in contemporary penal policy.

Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
