About the Authors
  • The trans-jurisdictional discourse on criminal justice is often hampered by mutual misunderstandings. The translation of legal concepts from English into other languages and vice versa is subject to ambiguity and potential error: the same term may assume different meanings in different legal contexts. More importantly, legal systems may choose differing theoretical or policy approaches to resolving the same issues, which sometimes – but not always – lead to similar outcomes. This book is the second volume of a series in which eminent scholars from German-speaking and Anglo-American jurisdictions work together on comparative essays that explore foundational concepts of criminal law and procedure. Each topic is illuminated from German and Anglo-American perspectives, and differences and similarities are analysed.

    • Compares Anglo-American with German concepts, doctrines, principles, and structures
    • Chapters are conceptual, transparent, and explicit as to their methodology and research questions, including factual scenarios to illustrate the concepts being discussed
    • All contributors are distinguished scholars with international reputations, from a diversity of backgrounds with either a more theoretical/normative or a more empirical focus
