Fundamental Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice
Fundamental Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice
Description
The first volume of a three-volume series which presents a set of common foundational concepts in criminal law and criminal justice. The series focuses on a comparison between Anglo-American and German concepts, doctrines, principles and structures.
Criminal law and criminal justice are becoming increasingly globalised. There is a growing desire to develop common approaches to common problems and to learn from the diversity of current practice in different countries. This development has been reinforced by the internationalisation of criminal justice in international and mixed criminal tribunals. However, attempts at trans-jurisdictional discourse are often hampered by mutual misunderstandings. Professionals and academics engaged in comparative criminal law sometimes use the same terms with different meanings or different terms which mean the same thing.
This volume looks for a set of common foundational concepts that could provide the basis for productive trans-jurisdictional exchanges. It includes contributions from distinguished scholars from a diversity of backgrounds and includes theoretical and normative as well as empirical focuses.
