Patient Autonomy and Criminal Law
This book shows how the legal systems of individual European countries protect patient autonomy. In particular, it explains the role of criminal law, that is, what criminal law protection of patient autonomy looks like on a European scale in both legal and social dimensions. Despite EU integration processes, the work illustrates that the legal orders of individual European countries are far from uniform in this area. The concept of patient autonomy here is generally in the context of the patient's freedom from unwanted medical activities: the so-called negative freedom. At the same time, in countries where there are no regulations clearly criminalising the performance of a therapeutic activity without the patient's consent, the so-called positive freedom is also discussed. The book will be a valuable reference work for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in Health Law, Medical Ethics, Applied Ethics and Criminal Law.
The Due Diligence in Maritime Transportation in the Technological Era
This book discusses the problem of sea carriers’ liability, with a particular focus on role of the technologies that have been employed to support maritime transport in recent decades. It examines the Hague Rules, providing an overview of the precedent standard of liability, its historical development up until its application, and its construction at the current time. To do so, it presents two exemplary studies from English and American case law, and analyzes the situations in which the courts have required the application of new technologies as part of the duties set in the current governing liability regime. Written in an easy-to-follow style, the book offers not only an unique overview of the applications of technologies in making ships both seaworthy and cargo-worthy, but also a practice-oriented guide to understanding and making decisions about sea carriers’ liability. It is intended for law practitioners as well as advanced graduate students and researchers in the field of maritime shipping, transport and insurance law
Criminal Law Without Punishment
How can criminal punishment be morally justified? Zisman addresses this classical question in legal philosophy. He provides two maybe surprising answers to the question. First, as for a methodological claim, it argues that this question cannot be answered by philosophers and legal scholars alone. Rather, we need to take into account research from social psychology, economy, anthropology, and so on in order to properly analyze the arguments in defense of criminal punishment. Second, the book argues that when such research is properly accounted for, none of the current attempts to justify criminal punishment succeed. But that does not imply that the state should do nothing about criminal wrongdoing. Rather, the arguments that were supposed to justify criminal punishment actually speak in favor of an alternative approach to criminal law: restitution to the victim and restorative justice. That is to say, the state should coerce offenders to provide restitution for the harm inflicted on victims, and whenever possible restorative approaches should be taken to address criminal wrongdoing.
Europe in Law and Literature
Europe is a broad and multifaceted construct, variously understood as a geographical, political, legal, institutional, social, or cultural formation. It is characterized by numerous conflicts and processes of negotiation that have accompanied or sustained the development of normative orders and divergent conceptions of law, both in relation to individual states and to Europe as a whole. The same applies to the field of literature, language, and aesthetics; numerous myths and ideologies have shaped today’s understanding of Europe and still support it today. This volume examines how such processes were legally structured, and literarily addressed, criticized, and complemented. Its interdisci...
Price of a Princess
After young James the Third's accession to the Scottish throne, the ambitious Boyd family of Kilmarnock seized power in a bloodless coup. Mary Stewart, James' eldest sister, was at first unwilling to marry Thomas Boyd, future Earl of Arran - but she had no choice. Eventually, however, she learned to love him, and when he was sent to the Danish court to negotiate with King Christian, she discovered a unique talent for diplomacy. In exchange for Princess Margaret of Denmark marrying her brother, Princess Mary at length persuaded the Danes to hand over the islands of Orkney and Shetland to Scottish dominion. But when the fortunes of the all-powerful Boyd family took a turn for the worse, Mary was to find herself in an extremely awkward and dangerous position... A riveting tale of romance, treachery and heartbreak, set in 15th century Scotland: the story of Mary Stewart, eldest sister of James III of Scotland and her part in making Orkney and Shetland part of Scotland.

Patientenautonomie im Strafrecht
English summary: The autonomy of patients is of existential significance in criminal law, as well as in medical practice - it determines whether or not a medical intervention is prosecutable. Dorothea Magnus develops her own concept of patient autonomy which is ethically viable, workable for the medical practice and applicable in criminal law. German description: Die Patientenautonomie hat sowohl im Strafrecht als auch in der medizinischen Praxis eine existenzielle Bedeutung. An ihr bemisst sich, ob ein arztlicher Eingriff erlaubt oder rechtswidrig ist. Die Patientenautonomie entscheidet bei arztlichen Heileingriffen, in Situationen am Ende des Lebens, in Fallen der Zwangsbehandlungen, der n...

Der Subsumtionsirrtum und seine Stellung in der strafrechtlichen Irrtumslehre
Was ist mit dem Wort "Subsumtionsirrtum" begrifflich gemeint? Innerhalb welchen Feldes des Strafrechts taucht er als Problem auf, und wie ist er strafrechtlich zu qualifizieren? Dies sind die größeren Herausforderungen, die den Subsumtionsirrtum komplexer gestalten und auch seine begriffliche Existenz und Tragweite betreffen. Bislang wurde der Subsumtionsirrtum unterschiedlich definiert und qualifiziert - mit mehr oder weniger Anhängern. Ausgehend von der Vielfältigkeit der Kontroversen kann der Subsumtionsirrtum als eigenständiges Problem anerkannt werden. Was im strafrechtlichen Sinn unter dem Subsumtionsirrtum begrifflich sowie rechtlich zu verstehen ist, bedarf einer dogmatischen Klärung. Ohne diese würde mit einer auf Vorurteilen beruhenden Analyse den schon vorliegenden Kontroversen eine neue hinzugefügt werden. Der Autor liefert durch eine dogmatisch-begriffliche Untersuchung des Subsumtionsirrtums einen wichtigen Beitrag zur strafrechtlichen Irrtumlehre.
