Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the oil that greases the wheels of one of Africa's best criminal justice systems. Principles of Namibian Criminal Law distils the major principles that help people answer this one big, life-defining question: Is the accused guilty? In 14 chapters, this book discusses principles that govern matters such as punishment, criminal liability, causation, unlawfulness, culpability, participation in crimes, and incomplete crimes. Largely inherited from South Africa, the principles of Namibian criminal law emanate mostly from common law and case law. Particularly, case law has been the channel through which lawyers in Namibia have, since Independence on 21 March 1990, molded their own criminal law doctrines. For that reason, this book heavily relies on the court cases that Namibian courts have forged since then. It showcases Namibia's South African heritage while giving pride of place to Namibia's homegrown jurisprudence - from the rules concerning corporate liability to the very definition of an 'accused'. Principles of Namibian Criminal Law will prove especially useful to law students who need to grasp the first principles of Namibian criminal law and to learn to think like lawyers, and to the seasoned practitioners (judges, attorneys, prosecutors, and police officers) who need to refresh their memories. The book should also serve the researchers and the comparatists looking for a window into how criminal justice actors think and resolve issues to make Namibia one of the continent's safest countries.

This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Namibian Constitution entrenches fundamental rights and freedoms, and provides for their vertical and horizontal application in any criminal process. However, since Independence in 1990, Namibia has developed its own criminal jurisprudence. Criminal procedure and law are taking new shape. Namibian courts have pronounced on criminal issues, and legislation has been passed to keep up with the demands, aspirations, spirit, and vision of the Namibian Constitution and its people. CLEVER MAPAURE, NDJODI NDEUNYEMA, PILISANO MASAKE, FESTUS WEYULU and LOIDE SHAPARARA have written an invaluable book that deals with these developments. It explains the rights of individuals, the duties of law enforcement officers, and the procedures of the courts in criminal cases. The Law of Pre-Trial Criminal Procedure in Namibia introduces readers to the fundamental principles and values underlying Namibian criminal law, through a systematic examination of the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977) as amended, which was originally passed by the legislature of South Africa, and still regulates criminal procedure in Namibia, the amendments to it since 1990, and relevant Namibian Case Law. The book captures and discusses the law relating to the pre-trial criminal process in Namibia in detail, from the roles of the prosecutor and the police, search, seizure and forfeiture, interrogation, notices and summons, arrest, court appearance, bail, criminal charges, disclosure, diminished capacity, right to assistance, to pleas and plea-bargaining.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book, Prof. S.K. Amor, is Acting Director of the Justice Training Centre and lecturer at the University of Namibia. The writing of this book was inspired mainly by the fact that, despite Namibia's independence in 1990, Namibian legal practitioners, academics and students lecturing and studying law at the University of Namibia (UNAM) still do not have a truly Namibian reference book. Instead, they rely heavily on legal literature from South Africa and other countries. An Introduction to Namibian Law is an attempt to bridge this gap by introducing law academics, lecturers and students to the most important aspects of Namibian law. It explains the origin of the country's law and looks at the various influences over the years. The book contains material covered in various UNAM courses, such as Jurisprudence, Introduction to Cases, Comparative Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law, Interpretation of Statutes, and Civil and Criminal Procedure. It also contains various extracts in support of legal arguments, in which legal concepts are illustrated and thoroughly explained, as well as sample legal forms. Full accounts of certain cases are included to give students of Namibian law a depth of understanding of how Namibian law has been applied over the years.
