Recent international literature has demonstrated that the public stigma suffered by women victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) makes them less likely to disclose the abuse and to seek help and has a negative influence on third-party responses, with professionals working in the judicial system and law enforcement agencies being particularly susceptible to its impact. The absence of theories explaining how this stigma works and the legal and cultural differences that exist between countries prompted us to explore the process by which professionals working in law enforcement and the judicial system in Spain stigmatize this specific group of victims. Constructivist grounded theory was used to establish meanings and relationships between the components and processes involved in stigmatization, based on the data collected from individual, semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 11 professionals working in the aforementioned fields. In addition to the stigmatization that the interviewees claimed to have observed in coworkers, we also analyzed the conscious and/or unconscious stigmatization that they themselves exercised, which became evident during the course of the interview. The results confirmed the existence of stigma among professionals, with the said stigma often being unintentional and implicit in nature. The theoretical model that emerged from the data comprised four broad categories linked to the origin of the stigma, stigmatizing myths about victims and IPV, stigmatizing responses to victims who are seeking help, and the consequences of the stigma for the victims. In the study, we outline the associations observed between these factors and the subcategories included in each, and highlight the need to design training programs for professionals who are designed to fight against the stigma and which include self-analysis exercises as well as theoretical contents. We also discuss other implications of the results for both research and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The objectives of this study was to conduct an updated comparative audit involving a larger and more representative group of accredited chiropractic programs in order to determine if (i) if there has been any changes in the delivery of JEB curricula since the first audit was conducted in 2010, and (ii) provide recommendations that could lead toward a standardized or model JEB curriculum worldwide. Methods: This study was approved by the ERB of the University of South Wales. Twenty-one chiropractic programs agreed to provide JEB course outlines for review. Results: A total of 88 different course outlines, which listed 83 different topics pertaining to JEB course content, were submitted for review. Conclusion: The results of this comparative audit revealed there has been an increase in the variability of JEB course content taught to students over time. Recommendations are provided for the next steps that could lead toward a standardized or model JEB curriculum curricula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our legal system recognizes in Article 125 of the Constitution the right of citizens to exercise the popular action. Unlike what happens in the majority of States in the world, the Public Prosecutor's Office in Spain does not have a monopoly on prosecution. The question lies in determining whether it should really be admitted that citizens can promote the action of justice, since this same function is already entrusted to the Public Prosecutor's Office. That is why this paper aims to review the alleged purposes pursued by the popular action in criminal proceedings and which have been pointed out by our jurisprudence and doctrine. In this way it will be possible to determine if they are legitimate and if they really achieve the intended purpose. If not, it may be necessary to adopt the appropriate legislative decisions in this regard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reviewability of the permanent prison introduced as a new sentence in the modification of the Penal Code in 2015, has been questioned since its incorporation. The pronouncement of the Spanish TC on viability and constitutionality has not been an obstacle to arousing broad debates and positions in relation to certain constitutionally enshrined principles such as dignity, resocialization or equality and for having been used as a social stabilizing tool before certain social pressures. In this work, through an inductive-deductive method, I will analyze some of the pronouncements made by the scientific doctrine and the existing jurisprudence, as well as other statistical documents found in monographs, specialized magazines, among others. This is intended to study the social circumstances that decisively influenced a criminal policy of great populist and propagandistic skills. We will reach the conclusion of the inadmissibility and unnecessaryness of an excessively rogorist sentence that should be expelled from the criminal system, in light of the decreasing criminal data existing both at the time of its adoption and later, resulting in a model of life imprisonment with greater hardness of those existing in neighboring countries. Likewise, we can conclude that we are faced with an unnecessary and vaguely justified sentence, the result of a repressive, radical and inflexible criminal policy that, used as an expansive tool of criminal law, aims to achieve a climate of citizen security.

Krausist's philosophy of law is one of its main contributions and, at the same time, one of the least known. In this sense, Canalejas biography, a krausist lawyer and philosopher, is a privileged historiographic reference because of his participation in several key moments of the history of Spain and of the spanish law. Thus, the reconstruction of his implication in relevant legal, philosophical and political forums not only permits us to understand better his own role and krausism's contribution but also it provides important datas to study in more detail in the analysis of the spanish society in the second half of the 19th century.

The completion of the death certificate is indispensable in Spain for a death to be recorded in the civil registry. Occasionally, doctors may be reluctant to sign a death certificate due to possible legal consequences. This study seeks to analyse the possible judicial consequences doctors may face upon filling out this medico-legal document. Sentences published on the Judicial Power's website between 2009 and 2019 containing the term "death certificate" were analysed. From a total of 2100 sentences examined, only 15 were found to contain the term "death certificate" as part of the claim. In only 7 of these cases the claim was made against the physician, and in 5 the physician was found guilty. Three of them concluded falsity via criminal proceedings, one via administrative proceedings for refusing to sign the certificate and one through civil proceedings for filling out an erroneous antecedent cause of death. In view of the above, it can be inferred that the completion of the death certificate poses few judicial consequences for physicians. In addition, this study reveals the importance of the death certificate document as evidence in judicial proceedings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the existing jurisprudence in Spain regarding the validity of different procedures known as lie detectors and their acceptance in judicial proceedings. It addresses the psychology of testimony as a background that assesses the credibility of the declarants, not their statements' veracity. It establishes that this evidence, mainly requested by the accused to prove innocence based on the testimony's credibility, is devoid of any other types of evidence. The analysis rejects using these tools in judicial processes, based on the lack of greater experimentation to obtain accurate statements and a lack of knowledge of these processes, concluding that other types of valid evidence must always bolster these methods.
