Crime, Prevention & Victims
Situational crime prevention focuses on reducing criminal opportunities by managing the environment. It is based on a rational choice theory of crime. Critics argue it may displace rather than reduce crime, and ignores root causes. "Broken windows theory" argues disorder sends a signal that no one cares, attracting more crime. Evidence from NYC found reducing graffiti and targeting minor offenses reduced crime. However, other factors like increased police may have contributed. Social prevention targets potential offenders' social contexts to remove predisposing conditions. The Perry Preschool project found early childhood programs reduced lifetime arrests. Punishment is justified as retribution or crime reduction. Retribution expresses social outrage, while reduction deters, rehabilitates or incapacitates offenders. Marx

What Is Homicide?
Homicide is the killing of another human being. The definition of homicide includes intentional killings, such as murder, and non-intentional killings, such as manslaughter. Homicides, especially culpable homicides, are violent felonies and carry very severe punishments.
The two most common types of homicide:
· Murder
· Manslaughter
Other types of homicide include:
· Deaths from Shaken Baby Syndrome
· Serial Killing
· Assisted Suicide
What Are the Differences between the Types of Homicides?
The exact distinctions between the types of homicide will vary from state to state. In general though, there are two classes of homicide, murder and manslaughter, with two different degrees for each.
Murder:
1. First-degree murder is the intentional, malicious, premeditated, and deliberate killing of another. Murder committed during an inherently dangerous felony is also considered first-degree murder.
2. Second-degree murder is killing of another with the intent to cause death but without premeditation or deliberation. Second-degree murder covers “accidental” killings where someone other than the intended target is killed. Second-degree murder is often a catch-all for murders which cannot be classified as manslaughter.
Manslaughter:
1. Voluntary manslaughter is killing as a result of “passion” or where an individual was “provoked.” Note that “passion” doesn’t mean anger, but any extreme emotion that suspends a person’s judgment. “Provoked” means the defendant is often confronted physically and responds by into committing the murder. Note that the provocation must be adequate enough that a reasonable person of sound mind would likely respond in a similar way. Provocation also includes an imperfect self-defense, where the killer uses more force than necessary or initiates the attack.
2. Involuntary manslaughter is the killing of another person not through intentional actions, but through reckless or negligent conduct. Vehicular manslaughter was once a significant portion of involuntary manslaughter and may still be in some states. However, many states have chosen to have vehicular manslaughter as a third type of manslaughter rather than group it with other forms of involuntary manslaughter.
What Are the Consequences of a Homicide Conviction?
There are severe consequences the come from a murder conviction:
· Capital Punishment (for first-degree murder only)
· Imprisonment
· Loss of the right to possess deadly weapons
· Inability to get occupational licenses
· Subject to civil suit for wrongful death
Likelihood of any of the above consequences depends on the following factors:
· Mitigating/aggravating circumstances (with regard to death penalty cases)
· Prior Convictions
· Currently on probation or parole
· Degree of media attention on the case
· Type of weapon used

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
