This book compares the civil and common law approach to analyze the question - 'What sorts of conduct may the state legitimately make criminal?'. Through a comparative focus on an Australian and German context, this book utilizes interviews with Australian criminal law experts and contrasts them with the German model based on 'Rechtsgutstheorie'. By comparing the largely descriptive, criminology-based Australian approach with the more sophisticated German legal theory model the author finds the Australian approach to be suffering from a 'normative flaw', illustrated by the distinction of different approaches to the offences of incest, bestiality and possession of illicit drugs. Carl Constantin Lauterwein discovers that while there is strength in the common law approach of describing the possible reasons for criminalizing certain conduct, the approach could be significantly improved by scrutinizing the legitimacy of those reasons.
Following on from the earlier edited collection, Loss of Control and Diminished Responsibility, this book is the first volume in the Substantive Issues in Criminal Law series. It serves as a leading point of reference in the area relating to participation in crime and identifies the need for a consistent approach to the doctrinal and theoretical underpinnings of complicity liability. This book is a valuable reference resource for those in the criminal justice community in the UK and abroad and for academics, the judiciary and policy-makers.
An inter-disciplinary, international collection that examines the mutual influences between law and culture through a series of sophisticated case studies showing how cultural phenomena are brought under legal regulation, how laws are resisted through cultural practices, and how those practices shape the way in which law is understood and applied.
English summary: In the English legal system, subjective elements of the crime are traditionally summarized using the term mens rea . The German tradition of general principles of criminal law, however, differentiates between intention and culpability. Whereas intention is understood as consisting of knowledge and will towards the actus reus, i.e. the external elements of a crime, culpability pertains to the knowledge of the unlawfulness of the act and the ability to behave accordingly. In comparing the English and the German criminal law systems, the author reveals a great deal of similarities in spite of the differences in terminology but also a surprisingly large divergence in the basic q...
Os autores desta obra de homenagem ancoram o seu pensamento em uma linha comum: a defesa da Liberdade através do Direito; a defesa da Liberdade enquanto valor democrático constitucional por meio do Direito; a defesa da Liberdade enquanto valor intrínseco à dignidade da pessoa humana em consonância com o Direito; a defesa da Liberdade enquanto manifestação do Direito e da Justiça que se apresentam ao ser humano para substituir e afastar a vingança privada, a vingança coletiva e a violência. É uma obra que afirma a Liberdade como valor maior do ser humano, que se ama acima de tudo, que se edificou, edifica e edificará ao longo dos tempos com e pelo Direito enquanto instrumento de afirmação da justiça humana.
The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law reflects the continued transformation of criminal law into a global discipline, providing scholars with a comprehensive international resource, a common point of entry into cutting edge contemporary research and a snapshot of the state and scope of the field.

Long description: Unter Rückgriff auf die jüngsten Einsichten der analytischen Handlungstheorie zeigt Dennis Dold, dass ein Täter, der vom Versuch zurücktritt, keine eindeutige Stellungnahme zur Geltung von Verhaltensnormen abgibt. Damit entfällt die Notwendigkeit, auf sein Verhalten mit Strafe zu reagieren
Das vorliegende Werk stellt die Lehre von der strafrechtlichen Zurechnung in ihren historischen und systematischen Zusammenhängen dar, wie sie sich in der Schweiz bis zur Gegenwart entwickelt hat. Über ein Jahrzehnt nach Erscheinen der Vorauflage war eine Überarbeitung des vorliegenden Bandes mehr als dringlich; er ist auf den aktuellen Stand von Gesetzgebung, Rechtsprechung und Doktrin gebracht worden. Dabei liegt das Augenmerk auf der umfangreichen Praxis des Bundesgerichts. Die Literaturnachweise hingegen beschränken sich zur Hauptsache auf die gängigen Lehrbücher und Kommentare. Die Menge an Monografien, Beiträgen in Zeit- und Festschriften, von Urteilsanmerkungen ganz zu schweigen, lässt deren Berücksichtigung in einem Lehrbuch nicht mehr zu, ohne seine inhärenten Begrenzungen zu sprengen. Einzelfragen sind der Beantwortung durch die Kommentarliteratur anheimgestellt. In den Grundlinien entspricht das Werk der Vorauflage. Bedingt durch den Autorenwechsel sind indessen einzelne Positionen einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen und, wo nötig, revidiert worden. Ein Gesetzes- und ein ausführliches Sachregister sollen die Benutzung der Neuauflage erleichtern.
