Definition Of

Generally speaking, the definition of the mental element in crime does not even strive to encompass all the varieties of the psychological processes which accompany the commission of an offence, but sorts out only such components of it which legal policy dictates to be useful and workable. For instance, generally speaking, no notice is taken of the motive or of the intensity of passion, or whether the mental element was spontaneous or premeditated. In sorting out what parts of the psychological process should form part of the definition of the mental element, many considerations come into play, such as the ability to verbalize and define such processes, difficulties of proof, etc. One of the components of the psychological processes which is disregarded in the definition of the mental element is knowledge of the existence and scope of the criminal norm, and the existence and scope of “defences” (as they were called in the old Penal Law, 1977) or “limitations to penal liability” as they are now called in the new Preliminary Part and General Part of Penal Law (hereinafter the New Code).

So far, the science of penal law has not looked closely into the term “doctrine”, and, in particular, “penal and legal doctrine” from the theoretical point of view. Thus we find it necessary to eliminate this gap, since the use of these terms and their synonyms varies greatly in the scientific and educational activities of penal institutions. Understanding the doctrinal grounds is also important for assessing the current situation and prospects for development of the science of penal law. The article analyzes the usage of the terms “penal and legal doctrine”, “criminal-executive doctrine” “doctrine of criminal-executive law”, “penal doctrine”, “correctional doctrine”; penal and legal doctrine is considered as part of legal doctrine; we study the notion of “legal doctrine” in its relations with adjacent categories (science, concept, position); we also investigate the effects of penal and legal doctrine on the penal and legal policy. We conclude that the term “penal and legal doctrine” is the core one and acts as a necessary prerequisite for scientific analysis. We also provide recommendations for the use of the term “doctrine” in the penal law sphere and put forward our own definition of the term “penal and legal doctrine”. In the course of our research we used general scientific, sectoral (social narrative) and level methodology (methods of theoretical and metatheoretical levels of cognition in science).

Slave Women and Their Descendants among the Upper Classes in Tetouan, Morocco (1859–1956): Between Recognition and Conflict

Determinant Factor

In the Arab world, the recognized children of elite men and slave women could adopt the status of their father, ignoring the slave origin of the mother, owing to a system of patrilineal transmission. This regime co-existed with negative stereotypes toward slaves and blackness, despite the very fact that—as this study of notable families in Tetouan between 1859 and 1956 demonstrates—skin color was not the determinant factor to form part of this group. Rather, it was based on the social definition of filiation, leading to legal disputes between family members to delineate the boundaries of kinship.

To analyse or experience history, to argue or narrate it, two approaches define and explain the phenomenon of thinking about history. In recent decades, thinking about history has become especially relevant because of its relationship with citizenship, either to evaluate evidence of the past or to guide present and future action. The contributions of psychology are diverse and come from traditions that refer to apparently antagonistic psychological processes, such as narrative and argumentation. The objective of this article is to address this discussion from a cultural–historical approach, specifically Vygotskian. We propose that argumentation and narrative are psychological processes that can be developed separately in ontogeny. Both processes, under certain conditions and socially mediated action, are stressed and articulated to give way to historical thinking, a higher psychological process.

Definition Of

The article provides a theoretical analysis of Part 1 of Article 82 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which defines the regime in correctional institutions of the Russian penal system. It is noted that this definition does not correspond to the achievements of modern penitentiary scientific thought about the regime. In particular, it is emphasized that the regime cannot provide conditions for serving a sentence, since it includes these conditions. Also, the regime cannot ensure the protection of convicts, supervision over them and separate maintenance of different categories of convicts, since, on the contrary, the latter are the means of ensuring the regime. According to the authors of the article, the legislator incorrectly uses the phrase regime of detention of convicts, meaning regime of serving a sentence, since they are different legal phenomena. It is noted that the most optimal definition of the regime is presented in the theoretical model of the general part of the new Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, prepared by a group of authors, but the authors also subjected this definition to some adjustments.

Goal. The purpose of the work is a comprehensive theoretical and methodological analysis of the definition of the concept and content of modern legal policy of the state. Method. The methodology of the study involves the use of a number of general and special methods of cognition, in particular: terminological analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, structural-functional and comparative law. Results. In the course of the research it is proved that in modern conditions the legal policy of the state is determined in theoretical and practical aspects. Thus, in the theoretical aspect, the legal policy of the state is the legal ideology of the state, which includes ideas, theories, concepts, doctrines, strategies, programs, etc., enshrined mostly in the form of regulations. In the practical aspect, the legal policy of the state means the activities of the state to exercise effective legal influence on all spheres of public life. In all the considered approaches to the definition of the category of "legal policy" there is one common feature - the state-will character, which forms its power-imperative content. The features of legal policy include: based on law; implementation by legal methods; coverage mainly of the legal sphere of activity; reinforcement, when necessary, by force, coercion; publicity, formality; it has an external expression in the form of legal and organizational forms of its implementation. Scientific novelty. According to the results of the study, the legal policy of the state is designed primarily to manage the legal development of the state, to be aimed at improving legal means and mechanisms of legal tools to ensure the most optimal development of relations in various spheres of society. Practical significance. The results of the study can be useful in the process of formation and implementation of the general theoretical concept of legal policy of the modern state.

This chapter discusses the law on offences involving intoxication. It distinguishes between voluntary and involuntary intoxication, and between ‘specific’ and ‘basic’ intent. Cases are presented to show that state of mind is both a necessary element in the definition of an offence as well as in some defences. Just as intoxication may cause a person to lack the mens rea of an offence so it may cause him to have the necessary mental element of a defence.
