Retreating From Vinter in Europe
In Vinter and Others v United Kingdom (2013) the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ruled that existing release mechanisms from a whole life prison sentence in England & Wales contravened Article 3 of the European Convention. Domestically, the defiant legal, and political, response declared the current law as sufficiently clear with no amendments to procedures, or the material governing those procedures, being necessary. In a rev…
Public, Politicians, and the Law
To understand the adamant defence of whole life orders by the British government to the perceived intrusion of the European Court of Human Rights, it is pertinent to re-examine the case which settled their appropriateness in domestic sentencing: that of Myra Hindley. Political defiance and public appetite for whole life sentences were born of Hindley's case, which settled any doubt as to the order's justifiability. European human rights proponent…
Myra Hindley
American politics, British policy
Since the abolition of the death penalty, life imprisonment in England and Wales has had a literal meaning with exceptional rarity. Now though, in the rejection of perceived interference by the European Court of Human Rights in domestic sentencing, the politics of whole of life imprisonment have become exposed, specifically, in the widening applicability of the tariff to those who kill police officers or prison guards. Borrowing from the politics…
Whole of Life Tariffs in the Shadow of E urope
This article explores the escalating conflict between E uropean judges and domestic politicians over the issue of whole of life tariffs. After the decision of the E uropean C ourt of H uman R ights ( ECtHR ) in V inter and O thers v. the U nited K ingdom and the subsequent decision of the C ourt of A ppeal in R v. M c L oughlin , there has been a very public tension between the two sides over reviewing prisoner sentences. When bids for release ha…
A Tale of Two Cities
The recent decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Hutchinson v United Kingdom (2015) is the latest twist in the political legal struggle between Westminster and Strasbourg. Whilst the British government has made several successions to the ECtHR regarding the role of the executive in the imprisonment of lifers, the thorny issue of the whole of life tariff, and prospect of prisoner release under that tariff, has been an ongoing d…
Fear and Loathing, Terror and Threat
As late modernity has re‐conceptualised criminal punishment, facilitating a rise in restorative justice ideology, community sentencing, and reformatory idealism, beneath the veneer of that progression is an increasing public yearning for corporality that underpins grass‐roots dissatisfaction, and a perceived perversity of victim identification in criminal interactions. Now, as the threat of street violence has been vigorously propagated and sensa…
The Decline of Courtly Patronage and the Appearance of New Genres in Arabic Literature
This article begins with a detailed structural analysis of "Zajal 90" by the Andalusī poet Ibn Quzmān (d. 555/1160). On the basis of this analysis, It is concluded that the poem employs irony to condemn the anti-Berber prejudice prevalent among native Andalusīs in Almoravid-ruled twelfth-century al-Andalus. It is also pointed out that the poem shares a number of key features with the maqāma genre, and may, in fact, be viewed as a maqāma in verse.…
