The Limits of Criminal Law
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.
Confronting the Shadow State

The Right to Counsel and the Protection of Attorney-Client Privilege in Criminal Proceedings
The book provides an overview of the right to counsel and the attorney-client privilege in the following 12 jurisdictions: China, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, UK and USA. The right to counsel is a fundamental right providing the accused access to justice in criminal proceedings. Lawyers can only practice their profession properly if clients have complete trust in their lawyer’s discretion. This trust is safeguarded by the attorney-client privilege, which is an indispensable part of every constitutional state and one of the most important professional duties of a lawyer. It is of particular importance in criminal proceedings regarding...

Die Ermittler der Spezialeinheit des Bundes entdecken mehrere Scheinfirmen. Ein Karussell aus historischer Zeit vor der Wende beginnt sich im Dresden der Neuzeit weiterzudrehen.

Der Straftatbestand des Sportwettbetruges gemäß § 265c StGB
Angesichts des andauernden kriminalpolitischen Diskurses sowohl um die Legitimität des Straftatbestandes des Sportwettbetruges (§ 265c StGB) als auch um den – möglicherweise rein symbolischen – Aktionismus des Strafgesetzgebers allgemein setzt sich die Autorin kritisch mit dem Straftatbestand des Sportwettbetruges auseinander. Sie untersucht, ob er ein legitimes strafgesetzgeberisches Tätigwerden darstellt oder ob er schließlich – wie von Kritiker:innen behauptet – als Ausfluss eines rein symbolischen Strafrechts einzuordnen ist. Als Maßstab dient die Begründung des Gesetzentwurfes der Bundesregierung und damit die gesetzgeberischen Zielvorstellungen. Der Gesetzgeber wird an seinen selbst gesteckten Zielen gemessen.

The Prosecutor in Transnational Perspective
In this book, Erik Luna and Marianne Wade examine the considerable powers of the American prosecutor and look abroad in order to learn valuable lessons from a transnational examination of prosecutorial authority. They explore parallels and distinctions in the processes available to and decisions made by prosecutors in the United States and Europe. Through the varied topics covered by the contributors on both sides of the Atlantic, they demonstrate how the enhanced role of the prosecutor represents a crossroads for criminal justice with weighty legal and socio-economic consequences.

Liberal Criminal Theory
This book celebrates Andreas (Andrew) von Hirsch's pioneering contributions to liberal criminal theory. He is particularly noted for reinvigorating desert-based theories of punishment, for his development of principled normative constraints on the enactment of criminal laws, and for helping to bridge the gap between Anglo-American and German criminal law scholarship. Underpinning his work is a deep commitment to a liberal vision of the state. This collection brings together a distinguished group of international authors, who pay tribute to von Hirsch by engaging with topics on which he himself has focused. The essays range across sentencing theory, questions of criminalisation, and the relation between criminal law and the authority of the state. Together, they articulate and defend the ideal of a liberal criminal justice system, and present a fitting accolade to Andreas von Hirsch's scholarly life.
Criminal Liability of Managers in Europe
Every managerial decision is risky, at least to some extent. Conducting business is impossible without venturing into new territories and even the most ordinary daily choices could turn out to be failures. Excessive risk, however, can be very detrimental as was starkly illustrated by the most recent financial crisis. By criminalising managers' excessive risk-taking criminal law enters a sphere which is at the core of the activity it affects. At the same time it provides for criminal punishment for courses of conduct that, without doubt, can be extremely harmful. The objective of this book is to examine existing criminalisation of excessive risk-taking as well as to analyse whether such criminalisation is desirable and if yes, under which conditions.
