“…La sentencia condenatoria y el establecimiento de la culpabilidad, confirmaría lo que Carnelutti (1997) señaló como una actividad estatal exitosa, pues absolver al imputado supondría el quiebre del proceso penal. Esta expresión es reforzada por Simons (1997), cuando señala que, a mayor dimensión del daño, en referencia a los delitos penales más graves, mayor es la reactividad pública aumentando la probabilidad de condenar a los victimarios, lo cual ocurriría con los homicidios. Dentro de esta perspectiva, el proceso penal constituye un canal de encauzamiento de la actividad de control y reprobación de la delincuencia utilizado por el Estado, independientemente que apunte preferentemente a la individualización y castigo del delincuente o a la preservación de los derechos de los justiciables.…”

“…De allí se extrae la construcción del castigo penal, mediante los escritos que se refieren a la acusación y a la condena, como etapas articuladas con los propósitos del sistema de justicia penal. En ese contexto, se ha señalado que la interpretación de fiscales y jueces para llegar a sus propias conclusiones abarca la revisión de medios probatorios contenidos en los expedientes y desde ese punto de vista son razonamientos deliberados, registrados formalmente como actividad estatal (FERRAJOLI, 1995;RIED-UNDURRAGA, 2017;SIMONS, 1997;GONZÁLEZ-LAGIER, 2003). Se esperaba que la narración judicial congregara en cada expediente la secuencia continua entre acusación y condena, que sirviera como una unidad de información.…”

Acusação e sentença como expressão do julgamento moral diante do homicídio aborda o significado moral do homicídio no sistema de justiça criminal, especificamente por meio das acusações e sentenças que refletem a prática dos promotores e juízes na definição do tipo legal de homicídio, suas modalidades, fatores agravantes e penalidades. Com base na revisão de dez processos judiciais de assassinos condenados, foram analisadas as acusações e condenações, a fim de identificar os argumentos para a inculpação moral e a graduação da punição, que coincidem enormemente entre promotores e juízes e permitem prever, desde o início do procedimento e independentemente da negociação do pleito, o resultado da sentença. Prosecution and Sentencing as an Expression of Moral Judgment in the Face of Homicideaddresses moral meaning of homicide within the criminal justice system, specifically through the procedural acts that reflect the practice of prosecutors and judges in defining homicide, ways for its consummation, circumstances and quantum of punishment. Based on the review of ten judicial files for convicted killers, indictments and convictions were analyzed in order to select arguments for moral inculpation and grading punishment, which overwhelmingly match between prosecutors and judges and allow to predict, from the beginning of the procedure and despite plea bargaining, the final outcome of the convicting sentence.

“…The judiciary maintain that they are engaged in an exercise which protects the blameless from social stigma and punishment by imposing mens rea requirements to 'truly criminal' acts. Yet the blameless are routinely being convicted of 'quasi-criminal' acts, and punished for them, on the assumption that little stigma attaches to such a conviction (Simons, 1997).…”

Nine individual NCB employees and officials were identified and singled for particular criticism. The report made clear, however, that it was a tale 'not of wickedness but of ignorance, ineptitude and a failure of communications'. There were no criminal proceedings following the disaster. On the day of the disaster itself the chairman of the National Coal Board, Lord Robbens of Woldingham chose to attend his investiture as Chancellor of the University of Surrey rather

The term strict liability refers to a legal rule or regime in which liability is imposed in the absence of proof that the defendant was at fault in causing the alleged harm or injury. Strict liability is imposed in order to prevent or limit conduct that is harmful or dangerous even when performed by one who is using due care. It is common in both tort law and criminal law ( see Criminal Law; Torts), though its use is more controversial in the latter because criminal law in general is more concerned with the blameworthiness of the defendant's conduct.
