Which Moral Influences on European penal and prison policies?

Descripción del proyecto

¿Quién determina la política penitenciaria europea?

Las agendas morales o religiosas pueden entrar en los debates jurídicos, moldeando en silencio las políticas de maneras que el público puede no percibir. Los litigios son una de las estrategias utilizadas por los grupos de interés para defender su causa. El equipo del proyecto JUST PEN, financiado por el Consejo Europeo de Investigación, pretende estudiar cómo actúan estos grupos ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, y cómo sus intervenciones pueden reforzar o remodelar la aplicación de los derechos humanos. Desde un enfoque jurídico, sociojurídico y criminológico, en el proyecto se ofrecen ideas que podrían orientar futuros debates y reformas de la justicia y la política penal europeas.

Objetivo

The JUST_PEN Project aims to analyse the strategies private interest groups use to try to influence European penal and prison policies through notably litigation and judicial complaints lodged with the European Court of Human Courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union. In relying notably on a current national research grant on the European Human Rights Justice under Moral Influences?, the JUST_PEN project will analyse whether or not the moral and religious values promoted by these private interest groups have influenced and have even been taken account of or even been adopted by the European penal and prison policies. In this respect, the project will investigate the ways in which these private interest groups try to influence these policies using doctrinal, judicial (notably through litigation and monitoring efforts) and political tactics.
In terms of effects of these strategies, we will investigate how and to what extent these tactics are translated into penal and prison policies notably through a process of coercive human rights that refer to the coercive aspect (the enactement of criminal law and the use of criminal sanctions) of human rights protection. In doing so, we will propose a new theoretical model: the moral entrepreneur of jurisprudence that is all about powerful private actors who do not behave as philantropists but are driven by material interests taking creative initiatives which involve shaping or reshaping case law on penal and prison policies. In doing so, they can either reinforce or on the contrary moderate and even lenify the coercive dimension of human rights and contribute though this process to orient significantly penal and prison policies. The JUST_PEN project intends thus to achieve a significant paradigm shift within the existing literature on human rights, European law and penal and prison policies by combining all these domains that are ignored by the existing legal, socio-legal and criminological literature.
