The current health care crisis in the United States has prompted wide interest in how medical systems around the world regulate themselves. This comprehensive book considers whether or not Britain's General Medical Council of professional conduct jurisdiction acts fairly and justly when dealing both with doctors whose conduct it controls, and members of the public whose interests it was established to protect. By looking at the legal history of the Council since its inception to the present, it is possible to see how the system of medical discipline in Britain developed, to reveal its present anomalies and problems, and to see how best to improve the system, if, indeed, such a system is worthy of preservation. Questions such as the role of lay members on the Council, the use of lawyers and Legal Assessors in hearings, how medical issues are resolved and how standards of conduct are set for the profession, are all considered. Over 2,000 disciplinary cases are then surveyed in terms of the type of allegations made, what sort of doctors are involved, and how they are dealt with. Detailed suggestions are finally made for improving the system.

Computer Science

This book comprises an international study of the manner in which cyber criminals are currently handled by the judicial system. As computer-related crime becomes more important globally, both scholarly and journalistic accounts tend to focus on the ways in which the crime has been committed and how it could have been prevented. Very little has been written about the capture, possible extradition, prosecution, sentencing and incarceration of the cyber criminal--until now.

Crime in the Digital Age: Controlling Telecommunications and Cyberspace Illegalities

The authors detail a number of criminal opportunities which accompany the new technologies, including electronic vandalism and terrorism and the transmission of pornography or other offensive material. They suggest however, that technology also provides the means to prevent and detect such crimes.
