This Element aims to explore how the relation between societal organisation and legal orders - the question of materiality - has been investigated in philosophy of law. The starting point of the Element is that such relation has often been left invisible or thematised in poor and reductive terms. After having explained the main reasons behind this neglect, the Element provides an overview of the three main approaches to legal philosophy whose contributions, though not always effective, can still provide some insights for a contemporary analysis of legal orders' materiality: materialism, legal institutionalism, and the new materialism. The last section of the Element suggests looking for a footing for the study of materiality in two fields: the metaphysics of relations and the political economy of legal orders.

"Crime, Criminal Justice & Religion: A Critical Appraisal seeks to bridge a gap in the examination of crime and criminal justice by taking both a historical and contemporary lens to explore the influence of religion. Offering unique perspectives that consider the impact on modern day policy and practice, the book scrutinizes a range of issues such as abortion, hate crime and desistance as well as reflecting upon the influence religion can have on criminal justice professions. The book acts to renew the importance of, and recognise, the influence and impact religion has in terms of how we view and ultimately address crime and deliver criminal justice. One of the first books to cover the area of crime, criminal justice and religion, the book is split into three parts, with part 1 - Contextualising Crime, Criminal Justice & Religion providing an introduction to crime, criminal justice & religion and reflections on the role religion has had, and continues to have, in how crime is understood and how we respond to it. Part 2 - Appraisal of Institutions & Professional Practice considers the issue of religion through institutions and professions of criminal justice, such as the police and legal profession, while part 3 - Appraisal of Contemporary Issues explores a range of crime and criminal justice issues in on which religion has impacted, such as the death penalty and terrorism. Crime, Criminal Justice & Religion will be of primary interest to academics, researchers and students in criminology, law, sociology, psychology, social policy and related HASS disciplines. It will also be of interest to theologians, both as scholars and practitioners. The book is a body of work that will appeal at an international level and will also be a key resource for a range of practitioners across the globe working on issues concerning crime and criminal justice"--

Within the EGP Project "The Capacity Building of Environmental Justice and Guarding Environmental Rights in Western China", the scholars of the University of Bologna, partner of the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL) and its Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims (CLAPV), have worked on an Environmental Law Survey so as to provide to the interested public –in particular, Chinese judges, lawyers, academics, and civil society as a whole – with the most interesting and recent judicial decisions or pieces of Environmental Law legislations developed in the most relevant legal fields. The choice has fallen on the scientific juridical disciplines of Administrative Law, Comparative Law, Criminal Law, EU Law and International Law (the latter with a particular focus on the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg), since these express highly relevant perspectives for the promotion of an effective environmental protection within the European Union, European Countries, and the International Community. We hope that the carefully selected rulings and pieces of legislation may provide the Chinese interpreter, practitioner or judge involved in Environmental Law issues in China or concerning China with legal reasoning and innovative juridical solutions which may inspire their extremely demanding daily activities, constantly involving a balance between the right to a clean and healthy environment of the citizens and the rights of economic operators and undertakings.

Through the method of reviewing scientific documentation, the objective of the study is to determine international legal standards for the implementation of criminal prosecution and its implementation in legislation in Russia and Germany. International standards in the field of criminal procedure are analyzed, from which the category "international standards of criminal prosecution" has been developed. To form a unified concept for the implementation of criminal prosecution and create an effective mechanism to protect the rights of the accused, the need for further investigation of international standards is argued. Within the framework of this investigation, an attempt was made to draw attention to the issues of the regulation of the implementation of criminal prosecution in international documents, as well as the national legislation of the Russian Federation and the Federal Republic of Germany. It is concluded that international standards for the application of criminal prosecution play an important role in consolidating the rule of law and improving criminal procedure legislation, as they contribute to the formation of a unified concept of criminal prosecution and set the permissible limits for restricting the rights of the accused.
