Drug Control and International Law

Drug Control and International Law

This book provides for an extensive legal analysis of the international drug control system in light of the growing challenges and criticism that this system faces. In the current debate on global drug policy the central pillars of the international drug control system – the UN Drug Conventions as well as its institutions – are portrayed as outdated suppressive and seen as an obstacle to necessary changes. The book’s objective is to provide an in-depth and positivist insight into drug control’s present legal framework and thus provide for a better understanding of the normative assumptions upon which drug control is currently based. This is attained by clarifying the objectives of the international drug control system and the premises by which these objectives are to be achieved. The objective of the current global framework of international drug control is the limitation of drugs to medical and scientific purposes. The meaning of this objective and its concrete implications for States’ parties as well as its problems from the perspective of other regimes of international law most notably international human rights law are extensively analysed. Additionally the book focuses on how the international drug control system attempts to reach the objective of confining drugs to medical and scientific purposes i. e. by setting up a universal system that exercises a rigid control on drug supply. The consequences of this heavy focus on the reduction of drug supply are outlined and the book concludes by making suggestions on how the international drug control system could be reformed in the near future in order to better meet the existing challenges. The analysis occurs from a general international law perspective. It aims to map the international drug control system within a wider context of international law and to understand whether the problems that the international drug control system faces are exemplary for the difficulties that institutionalized systems of global scope face in the twenty-first century. | Drug Control and International Law

Regulation and Social Control of Incivilities

Regulation and Social Control of Incivilities

The increasing trend and prevalence of incivilities-targeting punitive regulatory measures across Europe raises important issues regarding the legitimacy effectiveness and impact of such formal social control. Regulation and Social Control of Incivilities addresses the pertinent issues of current punitive regulation and the social control of incivilities their trends criminological explanations political spatial cultural representational and policing dimensions as well as the underlying behaviour it targets. Part I explores issues surrounding the regulation of incivilities drawing examples from several European countries including Spain Italy Great Britain Belgium Slovenia and Hungary. It inspects the legal form and content of the prohibition of incivilities and the social factors that can help explain it as well as the effectiveness and societal impact of various anti-nuisance measures. Part II focuses on social control and the representation of incivilities including the construction and control of public nuisance in Belgium the spatial and cultural aspects of incivilities and of law enforcement against them the media representations of incivilities in the British and Flemish press and the intersections between migration and control of incivilities when policing in the Netherlands. This book brings together international scholars to examine the ways in which understudied European countries approach the issue of anti-social behaviour.

Occupation and Control in International Humanitarian Law

Occupation and Control in International Humanitarian Law

This book presents a systematic analysis of the notion of control in the law of military occupation. The work demonstrates that in present-day occupations control as such occurs in different forms and variations. The polymorphic features of occupation can be seen in the way states establish control over territory either directly or indirectly and in the manner in which they retain relinquish or regain it. The question as to what level and type of control is needed to determine the existence and ending of military occupation is explored in great detail in light of various international humanitarian law instruments. The book provides an anatomy of the required tests of control in determining the existence of military occupation based on the law. It also discusses control in relation to occupation by proxy and when and how the end of control over territory occurs so that military occupation is considered terminated. The study is informed by relevant international jurisprudence. It draws on numerous pertinent case studies from all over the world various reports by different UN entities and other international organisations as well as legal doctrine. The book will be a valuable resource for academics researchers and practitioners working in the fields of international humanitarian law international public law and security studies | Occupation and Control in International Humanitarian Law

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a mongrel a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering the relatively young pup of computer science the energetic electrical engineering the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory. All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of ‘Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform’ rather than answering ‘What happens when your servomotor saturates?’ Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise. That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out far from it. The diet here includes matrices transforms eigenvectors differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins. The theme running throughout the book is simulation with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing such as a bicycle following a line and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed ‘for real’ with components purchased from the hobby market. | Control Basics for Mechatronics

Privacy and Healthcare Data 'Choice of Control' to 'Choice' and 'Control'

Privacy and Healthcare Data 'Choice of Control' to 'Choice' and 'Control'

In order for the information society to realise its full potential personal data has to be disclosed used and often shared. This book explores the disclosure and sharing of data within the area of healthcare. Including an overview of how health information is currently managed the authors argue that with changes in modern society the idea of personal relationships with a local GP who solely holds and controls your health records is becoming rapidly outdated. The authors aim to encourage and empower patients to make informed choices about sharing their health data. They do this by developing a three-stage theoretical model for change to the roles of the NHS and the individual. The study generates debate to stimulate and inspire new models and policy and to provoke new visions for the sharing of healthcare data. Such discussion is framed through an exploration of the changing concept of 'privacy' and 'patient control' in healthcare information management. The volume draws on best practices from Europe and the USA and combines these to form a suggested vision for the UK as an early adopter of change. The volume will be essential reading for academics in the field of privacy and data protection as well as healthcare and informatics professionals across different jurisdictions. | Privacy and Healthcare Data 'Choice of Control' to 'Choice' and 'Control'

Statistical Process Control

Statistical Process Control

The business commercial and public-sector world has changed dramatically since John Oakland wrote the first edition of Statistical Process Control – a practical guide in the mid-eighties. Then people were rediscovering statistical methods of ‘quality control’ and the book responded to an often desperate need to find out about the techniques and use them on data. Pressure over time from organizations supplying directly to the consumer typically in the automotive and high technology sectors forced those in charge of the supplying production and service operations to think more about preventing problems than how to find and fix them. Subsequent editions retained the ‘took kit’ approach of the first but included some of the ‘philosophy’ behind the techniques and their use. The theme which runs throughout the 7th edition is still processes - that require understanding have variation must be properly controlled have a capability and need improvement - the five sections of this new edition. SPC never has been and never will be simply a ‘took kit’ and in this book the authors provide not only the instructional guide for the tools but communicate the management practices which have become so vital to success in organizations throughout the world. The book is supported by the authors' extensive and latest consulting work within thousands of organisations worldwide. Fully updated to include real-life case studies new research based on client work from an array of industries and integration with the latest computer methods and Minitab software the book also retains its valued textbook quality through clear learning objectives and end of chapter discussion questions. It can still serve as a textbook for both student and practicing engineers scientists technologists managers and for anyone wishing to understand or implement modern statistical process control techniques.

Human Rights and Drug Control A New Perspective

Human Rights and Drug Control A New Perspective

This book uses a human rights perspective – developed philosophically politically and legally – to change the way in which we think about drug control issues. The prohibitionist approach towards tackling the ‘drugs problem’ is not working. The laws and mentality that see drugs as the problem and tries to fight them makes the ‘drugs problem’ worse. While the law is the best-placed mechanism to regulate our actions in relation to particular drugs this book argues against the stranglehold of the criminal law and instead presents a human rights perspective to change the way we think about drug control issues. Part I develops a conceptual framework for human rights in the context of drug control – philosophically politically and legally – and applies this to the domestic (UK) and international drug control system. Part II focuses on case law to illustrate both the potential and the limitations of successfully applying this unique perspective in practice. The conclusion points towards a bottom-up process for drug policy which is capable of reconfiguring the mentality of prohibition. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of human rights criminal law criminology politics and socio-legal studies. | Human Rights and Drug Control A New Perspective
