Entangled Emancipation
In 1900, German legislators passed the Civil Code, a controversial law that designated women as second-class citizens with regard to marriage, parental rights, and marital property. Despite the upheavals in early twentieth-century Germany – the fall of the German Empire after the First World War, the tumultuous Weimar Republic, and the destructive Third Reich – the Civil Code remained the law of the land. After Nazi Germany’s defeat in 1945 and the founding of East and West Germany, legislators in both states finally replaced the old law with new versions that expanded women’s rights in marriage and the family. Entangled Emancipation reveals how the complex relationship between the d...

This open access publication discusses exclusionary rules in different criminal justice systems. It is based on the findings of a research project in comparative law with a focus on the question of whether or not a fair trial can be secured through evidence exclusion. Part I explains the legal framework in which exclusionary rules function in six legal systems: Germany, Switzerland, People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the United States. Part II is dedicated to selected issues identified as crucial for the assessment of exclusionary rules.

Die "neutrale Handlung" im Strafrecht
Die "neutrale" Beihilfe beschäftigt seit einigen Jahrzehnten den strafrechtswissenschaftlichen Diskurs. In der jüngeren Vergangenheit stellt sich insbesondere im Bereich des Wirtschafts- und Steuerstrafrechts die Frage, inwieweit alltägliche oder berufsmäßige Handlungen von § 27 StGB erfasst werden. Gerade im Hinblick auf neue Erscheinungsformen der Internet- und Wirtschaftskriminalität ist hier das Strafbarkeitsrisiko für bestimmte Berufsgruppen deutlich gestiegen. Die Arbeit setzt sich mit den dogmatischen Grundlagen des § 27 StGB sowie den verschiedenen Theorien zum Umgang mit neutralen Beihilfehandlungen auseinander. Dabei berücksichtigt der Autor auch die aus dem Verfassungsre...
