Description
THE PRAGMATICS OF CRIMINAL IMPUTATION
Book Summary
This work offers a philosophical and practical reflection on the penal system, focusing on the principle of imputation as the fundamental axis of the process. The author, Hesbert Benavente Chorres, analyzes how imputation defines the object of litigation from its earliest stages, drawing on comparative law to demonstrate that the litis is fixed upon formulating the imputation or formalizing the investigation, not upon presenting the indictment. An essential study for understanding the foundations of contemporary criminal procedural law.
What is it about?
The book develops an original theory called the "pragmatics of criminal imputation," which examines the procedural moment when the legal conflict is established. Through a comparative analysis of various legislations, the author maintains that the fixing of the litis occurs in the initial phase of the process, when the imputation is formulated or the investigation is formalized, rather than at the close of this phase with the indictment. The work delves into the practical implications of this thesis, offering a renewed vision of the principles that govern the criminal process and their concrete application.
