Pese a este esfuerzo normativo, e...

Dos hechos aparentemente independientes en la evolución de la producción científica socio-jurídica están vinculados, sin responder a un plan consciente: la expansión del inglés y las evaluaciones bibliométricas.

Money is the most frequently means used in the legal system to punish and regulate. Monetary penalties outnumber all other sanctions delivered by criminal justice in many jurisdictions, imprisonment included.
