DETERMINATION CULPABILITE [3 records]

Record 1 2024-08-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Clinical Psychology
CONT

In constrast to traditional approaches, the TCE suggests that each experienced emotion emerges not from a specific, dedicated anatomical circuit, but from an interplay of broad networks in the brain that are involved in general operations of the mind. Instances of each emotion category (i.e., fear, anger, happiness, etc.) are represented by a pattern within these networks that is situation specific and individually different.

CONT

Il peut s’agir de la faim, la colère, l'irritation, la détermination, l'hyperthermie, l'abandon, le rejet, la culpabilité, les couleurs, les vêtements trop serrés, la dette de sommeil, les émotions, la monnaie, etc. [...] Ces concepts ne sont pas réellement engrangés dans une zone du cerveau, ils sont construits à chaque instant pour un objectif précis(selon la théorie de l'émotion construite).

Record 2 2017-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Legal Actions
  • Courts
DEF

A trial that is divided into two stages, such as for guilt and punishment or for liability and damages.

CONT

A common example of a "bifurcated trial" is one in which the question of liability in a personal injury case is tried separately from and prior to a trial on the amount of damages to be awarded if liability is found. A "bifurcated trial" in such a case is advantageous because if the defendant is not found liable, there is no need to spend the money or time in the presentation of proof and witnesses on the issue of damages.

Record 3 2011-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sentencing
CONT

As regards the accused’s sentences, the principle of proportionality is central to the sentencing process set out in the Criminal Code and requires that a sentence must speak out against the offence but may not exceed what is just and appropriate given the moral blameworthiness of the offender and the gravity of the offence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Peines
CONT

Quant aux peines infligées à l'accusé, le principe de proportionnalité constitue un élément central du processus de détermination de la peine établi au Code criminel et exigeant une peine qui dénonce l'infraction sans excéder ce qui est juste et approprié compte tenu de la culpabilité morale du délinquant et de la gravité de l'infraction.
