The fifth edition of this established work on criminal law now
includes detailed discussion of major judicial pronouncements on
dolus eventualis (Pistorius), the limits of common purpose
liability in its active association form (Dewnath), robbery with
aggravating circumstances (Masingili), treason (the Boeremag
Treason trial), racketeering/retrospectivity (Savoi) and consensual
child sexual experimentation (Teddy Bear Clinic). With the
important entry into force on 9 August 2015 of the Prevention and
Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act 7 of 2013, definitions of
human trafficking and related offences have now become an integral
part of our criminal law. Moreover, the transitional provisions on
human trafficking in the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related
Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007 have been replaced with more
detailed provisions under this Prevention and Combating of
Trafficking in Persons Act 7 of 2013. A significant amendment to
abortion law has been effected by the Choice on Termination of
Pregnancy Amendment Act 1 of 2008 (assented to 12 February and
promulgated18 February 2008), following the Constitutional Court's
judgment in Doctors for Life International v Speaker of the
National Assembly 2006 (6) SA 416 (CC). Judgments of the Supreme
Court of Appeal, the Constitutional Court and legislative
amendments relevant to criminal law up until the end of 2015 have
been included in this fifth edition of Principles of Criminal Law.
This sixth edition of the established work Principles of Criminal Law, now Burchell’s Principles of Criminal Law, includes a number of compelling new features.
Written by three specialist authors – Emeritus Professor Jonathan Burchell, Professor P J Schwikkard and Dr Tshepo Bogosi Mosaka – it contains substantially improved chapters on corruption, substance abuse and organized crime, as well as fuller debate on consent to die with dignity.
It places greater emphasis on customary law and submissions on mistaken belief in consent in rape cases. There are also new chapters on witchcraft and hate crimes (incorporating hate speech).
Born the son of a farm labourer in Wiltshire, young Ernest Burchell
grew up as the reign of Queen Victoria was coming to an end at the
turn of the 20th Century. This young ambitious man left his family
and started a business in a little village in South Derbyshire.
It’s here that he met and fell in love with a beautiful
farmer’s daughter, but their future plans were scuppered by
events in the small independent Balkan state of Bosnia. At
the outbreak of the First World War Ernest returned to Wiltshire
where he volunteered to join a cavalry regiment – the Wiltshire
Yeomanry. The regiment embarked from Southampton to Le Havre in
1916.
These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society,' delivered at the
College de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the
way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern
modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the
emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates
contemporary society.
The Courage of the Truth is the last course that Michel Foucault
delivered at the College de France before his death in 1984. In
this course, he continues the theme of the previous year's lectures
in exploring the notion of "truth-telling" in politics to establish
a number of ethically irreducible conditionsbased on courage and
conviction.
This volume gives us the transcription of the first of Michel
Foucault's annual courses at the CollA]ge de France. Its
publication marks a milestone in Foucault's reception and it will
no longer be possible to read him in the same way as before.
In these lectures the reader will find the deep unity of Foucault's
project from "Discipline and Punish" (1975), dominated by the
themes of power and the norm, to "The Use of Pleasure" and "The
Care of the Self" (1984), devoted to the ethics of
subjectivity.
"Lectures on the Will to Know" remind us that Michel Foucault's
work only ever had one object: truth. "Discipline and Punish"
completed an investigation of the role of juridical forms in the
formation of truth-telling, the preparatory groundwork for which is
found here in these lectures. Truth arises in conflicts, in rival
claims for which the rituals of judicial judgment provide the
possibility of deciding between who is right and who is
wrong.
At the heart of ancient Greece there is a succession of different
and opposing juridical forms and ways of dividing true and false
into which the disputes between sophists and philosophers are soon
inserted. In "Oedipus the King," Sophocles stages the peculiar
force of forms of truth-telling: they establish power just as they
depose it. Against Freud, who will make "Oedipus" the drama of a
shameful sexual desire, Michel Foucault shows that the tragedy
articulates the relations between truth, power, and law. The
history of truth is that of the tragedy.
Beyond the irenicism of Aristotle, who situated the will to truth
in the desire for knowledge, Michel Foucault deepens the tragic
vision of truth inaugurated by Nietzsche, who Foucault, in a secret
dialogue with Deleuze, rescues from Heidegger's reading.
After this course, who will dare speak of a skeptical
Foucault?
This lecture, given by Michel Foucault at the College de France,
launches an inquiry into the notion of parresia and continues his
rereading of ancient philosophy. Through the study of this notion
of truth-telling, of speaking out freely, Foucault re-examines
Greek citizenship, showing how the courage of the truth forms the
forgotten ethical basis of Athenian democracy. The figure of the
philosopher king, the condemnation of writing, and Socrates'
rejection of political involvement are some of the many topics of
ancient philosophy revisited here.
With a heritage dating back to the mid-seventeenth century, the
Royal Marines have accrued a rich history of rituals, artefacts and
material culture that is consciously deployed in order to define
and shape the institution both historically and going forward into
an uncertain future. Drawing upon this heritage, Mark Burchell
offers a unique method of understanding how the Royal Marines draw
upon this material culture in order to help transform ordinary
labour power to political agency comprising acts of controlled and
sustained violence. He demonstrates how a barrage of objects and
items - including uniforms, weapons, landscapes, architecture,
personal kit, drills, rituals, and iconography - are deployed in
order successfully to integrate the recruits into the Royal
Marines' culture. It is argued that this material culture is a
vital tool with which to imprint the military's own image on new
recruits as they embark on a process of de-individualisation.
Having been granted unprecedented access to the Commando Training
Centre at Lympstone as an anthropologist, Burchell observed an
intake of recruits throughout their demanding and exhausting
year-long training programme. The resulting book presents to the
academic community for the first time, a theorised in-depth account
of a relatively unexplored social community and how its material
culture creates and reifies new military identities. This
path-breaking interdisciplinary analysis provides fresh
understanding of the multiple processes of military enculturation
through a meticulous revision of the relationships that exist
between disciplinary and punishment practices; violence and
masculinity; narratives and personhood; and will explore how these
issues are understood by recruits through their practical
application of body to physical labour, and by the cues of their
surrounding material culture.
The inspiration for this book came from an American Carbon Society
Workshop entitled "Carbon Materials for Advanced Technologies"
which was hosted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1994.
Chapter 1 contains a review of carbon materials, and emphasizes the
structure and chemical bonding in the various forms of carbon,
including the four allotropes diamond, graphite, carbynes, and the
fullerenes. In addition, amorphous carbon and diamond films, carbon
nanoparticles, and engineered carbons are discussed. The most
recently discovered allotrope of carbon, "i.e.," the fullerenes,
along with carbon nanotubes, are more fully discussed in Chapter 2,
where their structure-property relations are reviewed in the
context of advanced technologies for carbon based materials. The
synthesis, structure, and properties of the fullerenes and
nanotubes, and modification of the structure and properties through
doping, are also reviewed. Potential applications of this new
family of carbon materials are considered. The manufacture and
applications of adsorbent carbon fibers are discussed in Chapter 3.
The manufacture, structure and properties of high performance
fibers are reviewed in Chapter 4, and the manufacture and
properties of vapor grown fibers and their composites are reported
in Chapter 5. The properties and applications of novel low density
composites developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are reported
in Chapter 6. Coal is an important source of energy and an abundant
source of carbon. The production of engineering carbons and
graphite from coal via a solvent extraction route is described in
Chapter 7. Applications of activated carbons are discussed in
Chapters 8-10, including their use in the automotive arena as
evaporative loss emission traps (Chapter 8), and in vehicle natural
gas storage tanks (Chapter 9). The application of activated carbons
in adsorption heat pumps and refrigerators is discussed in Chapter
10. Chapter 11 reports the use of carbon materials in the fast
growing consumer electronics application of lithium-ion batteries.
The role of carbon materials in nuclear systems is discussed in
Chapters 12 and 13, where fusion device and fission reactor
applications, respectively, are reviewed. In Chapter 12 the major
technological issues for the utilization of carbon as a plasma
facing material are discussed in the context of current and future
fusion tokamak devices. The essential design features of graphite
moderated reactors, (including gas-, water- and molten salt-cooled
systems) are reviewed in Chapter 13, and reactor environmental
effects such as radiation damage and radiolytic corrosion are
discussed. The fracture behaviour of graphite is discussed in
qualitative and quantitative terms in Chapter 14. The applications
of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics and Elastic-Plastic Fracture
Mechanics to graphite are reviewed and a study of the role of small
flaws in nuclear graphites is reported.
Despite their global importance, little is known about the few
existing examples of impacts into marine environments and icy
targets. They are among the least understood and studied parts of
impact crater geology. The icy impacts are also of great importance
in understanding the developments of the outer planets and their
satellites such as Mars or Europa. Furthermore, the impact
mechanisms, crater formation and collapse, melt production and the
ejecta distribution are scarcely known for impact on targets other
than the "classical" solid silicates of the continental crust. The
reaction of water and ice to impacts clearly deserves a more
thorough study. The understanding of impact effects and
consequences in the case of aqueous hits, soft sediments and icy
targets has not been thoroughly explored and comprises the main
focus of this book.
A number of papers in the field of hypervelocity impacts on ice
are included. These cover a review of available literature in the
field of laboratory studies of such impacts, large impact
structures on Titan, predicting impact cratering on a comet
nucleus, and a novel report on the survival of bacteria fired at
hypervelocity into icy surfaces. This latter paper is concerned
with astrobiology and in particular Panspermia (natural migration
of life through space).
This new title in the College de France Lecture Series charts a new
development in Michel Foucault's thinking. Starting from the notion
of 'bio-power' developed in the previous 1976 course, Society Must
be Defended, Foucault explores the birth of the modern nation state
in the Eighteenth Century through an analysis of its adminstration
of institutionalized power relations, beginning with the
fundamental technologies of security.
In the age of global capitalism, shareholders and profits are not
the only concerns of modern business corporations. Debates
surrounding economic and environmental sustainability, and
increasing intense media scrutiny, mean that businesses have to
show ethical responsibility to stakeholders beyond the boardroom. A
commitment to corporate social responsibility may help the wider
community. It could also protect an organization's brand and
reputation. Including key articles and original perspectives from
academics, NGOs and companies themselves, The Corporate Social
Responsibility Reader is a welcome and insightful introduction to
the important issues and themes of this growing field of study.This
book addresses: the changing relationships between business, state
and civil society; the challenges to business practice; what
businesses should be responsible for, and why issues of engagement,
transparency and honesty; and, the boundaries of CSR - can
businesses ever be responsible? Case studies examine major
international corporations like Coca Cola and Starbucks, whilst
broader articles discuss thematic trends and issues within the
field. This comprehensive but eclectic collection provides a
wonderful overview of CSR and its place within the contemporary
social and economic landscape. It is essential reading for anyone
studying business and management, and its ethical dimensions.
In this new addition to the College de France Lecture Series Michel
Foucault explores the birth of psychiatry, examining Western
society's division of 'mad' and 'sane' and how medicine and law
influenced these attitudes. This seminal new work by a leading
thinker of the modern age opens new vistas within historical and
philosophical study.

This book critically examines the European UnionAEs developing
relationship with the green agenda, identifying links between the
emerging pattern of green politics and patterns of EU
policy-making. It examines why and how the environment has become
such a significant part of the EUAEs activities and assesses the
extent of the "greening" of the Union. In particular it examines to
what extent green politics have impacted upon the EU institutions,
its other policies and its progress towards sustainability. In
tackling these questions, the book questions whether these aims can
be effectively instigated given the underlying economic rationale
that has been the driving force behind the EUAEs development so
far.
"The Courage of the Truth" is the last course that Michel
Foucault delivered at the College de France. Here, he continues the
theme of the previous year's lectures in exploring the notion of
"truth-telling" in politics to establish a number of ethically
irreducible conditions based on courage and conviction. His death,
on June 25th, 1984, tempts us to detect the philosophical testament
in these lectures, especially in view of the prominence they give
to the themes of life and death.
