There and back again
In this article, I demonstrate how changes to Spanish criminal law produced a highly contradictory outcome, which constitutes the most astonishing volte-face in the recent history of the Spanish criminal justice system. I explain how a 2023 law reform, which changes the consent standard in rape cases, was a counter-reform, a backlash due to the political confluence between a disgruntled part of the feminist movement and the anti-gender conservati…
The Wolf-Pack Case and the Reform of Sex Crimes in Spain
The controversial trial of five men accused of gang-raping a young woman during the 2016 San Fermín festival and their conviction not for rape, but for a lesser crime of sexual abuse in 2018, known as La Manada (the Wolf-Pack) case, brought the Spanish law under intense public scrutiny. The case led to an outpouring of protests across the country and called for the urgent reform of rape laws, which then led to the drafting of new provisions to ad…
Del hurto de hallazgo al expolio de yacimientos arqueológicos. ¿Una oportunidad perdida
En este trabajo se analizan los problemas que suscita el tratamiento penal del apoderamiento de bienes encontrados en yacimientos arqueológicos por parte del descubridor. El objetivo es valorar qué aporta a estos efectos el nuevo delito de expolio, introducido por la reforma de 2015, a la hora de afrontar esos problemas. El estudio tiene en cuenta la larga tradición de incardinación de esta conducta entre los delitos contra el patrimonio y los pr…

On the political economy of fines. Rusche and Kirchheimer’s Punishment and Social Structure revisited
This paper addresses the evolution of socio-legal theories concerning the use of monetary sanctions from a specific theoretical perspective – the “political economy of punishment” originally developed by Rusche and Kirchheimer. In particular, the paper explores the often-overlooked chapter on fines in Rusche and Kirchheimer’s work. Their reflections on the rise of monetary fines provide some premonitory guesses regarding the role of fines in cons…
Fracaso del reconocimiento mutuo de resoluciones de libertad vigilada en España? Una reflexión de la situación de los condenados extranjeros de nacionalidad comunitaria
En este trabajo se analiza el nivel de aplicación del reconocimiento mutuo de resoluciones de libertad vigilada en España, hasta el momento muy escaso pese a que el número de beneficiarios potenciales de la medida (condenados extranjeros de nacionalidad comunitaria) es significativo. Para valorar las razones de esta falta de aplicación, se estudian, en primer lugar, los objetivos tanto de la Decisión Marco 2008/947/JAI como de la Ley 23/2014. A c…
Money and the Governance of Punishment
Money is the most frequently means used in the legal system to punish and regulate. Monetary penalties outnumber all other sanctions delivered by criminal justice in many jurisdictions, imprisonment included. More people pay fines than go to prison and in some jurisdictions many of those in prison are there because of failure to pay their fines. Therefore, it is surprising how little has been written in the Anglophone academic world about the nat…
Who Dares Fine a Murderer? The Changing Meaning of Money and Fines in Western European Criminal Systems
This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of the penal fine as a sanction from the point of view that the changing meaning of money influences the perceived appropriateness of fines as a punishment for every type of offence, or only certain offences. As it is shown here, a series of associations based on the idea of money, its essence and its capabilities had a profound impact on modern European legal culture. The…
Improving the Recovery of Assets Resulting from Organised Crime
Over the last few years, the international community as well as States have committed themselves to improving mechanisms for preventing and repressing money-laundering and for confiscation, in particular in the context of organised crime. In spite of this standardising effort, in several national systems the level of application of the offence of money laundering by judges and courts is less than satisfactory. Existing legal mechanisms aimed at c…
