American and German legal cultures

  • Categories: Law

Die Beitrage des Bandes betrachten das Rechtssystem der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika als Teil der nationalen Gesamtkultur, vergleichen es mit den entsprechenden deutschen Vorstellungen und analysieren es hinsichtlich einer Reihe von zentralen Aspekten. Dabei bilden die jeweils gultigen Grundwerte, das heisst vor allem die jeweilige Gewichtung von Freiheit und Gleichheit, sowie die daraus entstandenen Verfassungsordnungen den Ausgangspunkt. Weitere Fragenkomplexe sind das Verhaltnis von nationalem, internationalem und globalem Recht; die Auswirkungen von Rassen- und Gender-Vorurteilen auf die Rechtsprechung, vor allem bei der Verhangung der Todesstrafe; das Jugendstrafrecht und die Konsequenzen einer Zero Tolerance-Politik; das Schadensersatzrecht sowie das Verhaltnis von Recht, Medien und Offentlichkeit. Gerade die mediale Vermittlung des Rechts erlaubt noch einmal einen Blick auf Grundstrukturen der Rechtskulturen beiderseits des Atlantiks.

Life Imprisonment

  • Categories: Law

Life imprisonment has replaced capital punishment as the most common sentence imposed for heinous crimes worldwide. As a consequence, it has become the leading issue in international criminal justice reform. In the first global survey of prisoners serving life terms, Dirk van Zyl Smit and Catherine Appleton argue for a human rights–based reappraisal of this exceptionally harsh punishment. The authors estimate that nearly half a million people face life behind bars, and the number is growing as jurisdictions both abolish death sentences and impose life sentences more freely for crimes that would never have attracted capital punishment. Life Imprisonment explores this trend through systemati...

Criminal Justice in the United States and Germany

Criminal Justice in the United States and Germany

Criminal justice is a salient and controversial political issue in both Germany and the United States. Public perception is often dominated by media sensationalism and dramatized images of popular culture, while experts tend to focus on institutions and procedures. This volume brings together contributions from German and American scholars representing various disciplines, including criminology, criminal law, political science, sociology, and history. The essays address both broader social issues, such as race, gender, and the death penalty, and specific problems of administering criminal justice, including sentencing, corrections, or electronic monitoring. Their unifying themes are the dynamics of legal and social change and the quest for reform to make the criminal justice system both fairer and more efficient. Some of the essays invoke a comparative perspective, while others focus on national case studies.
