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.

Attempts at trans-jurisdictional debate and agreement are often beset by mutual misunderstanding. Professionals and academics engaged in comparative criminal law sometimes use the same terms with different meanings or different terms which mean the same thing. Although English is the new lingua franca in international and comparative criminal law, there are many ambiguities and uncertainties with regard to foundational criminal law and criminal justice concepts. However, there exists greater similarities among diverse systems of criminal law and justice than is commonly realised. This book explores the foundational principles and concepts that underpin the different domestic systems. It focuses on the Germanic and several principal Anglo-American jurisdictions, which are employed as examples of the wider common law-civil law divide.

Attempts at trans-jurisdictional debate and agreement are often beset by mutual misunderstandings. And while English is the new lingua franca in international and comparative criminal law, there are many ambiguities and uncertainties with regard to foundational criminal law and justice concepts. Professionals and academics engaged in collaborative comparative criminal law projects often do not understand each other, using the same terms with different meanings or different terms meaning the same thing. However, there exists greater similarity among diverse systems of criminal law and justice than is commonly realised. This third volume of Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice explores the principles and concepts that underpin the different domestic systems and rules. It will focus on the Germanic and several principal Anglo-American jurisdictions, which are employed as examples of the wider common law-civil law divide.

Band 1 widmet sich den "Grundlagen des Strafrechts" aus rechtsphilosophischer, rechtssoziologischer und geistesgeschichtlicher Sicht. Auch verfassungsrechtliche Vorgaben, Fragen der juristischen Methodenlehre und neue dogmatische Herausforderungen werden eingehend diskutiert. Zur Klärung der empirischen Grundlagen sind Kriminologie und Kriminalstatistik prominent vertreten. Den bestehenden Entwicklungen des deutschen Strafrechts wird ebenso Rechnung getragen wie neueren Diskussionsfeldern, z.B. der strafrechtlichen Compliance und der zunehmenden Interkulturalität.Konzeption:Das auf neun Bände angelegte "Handbuch des Strafrechts" ist eine Gesamtdarstellung des deutschen Strafrechts und Strafverfahrensrechts, das nicht über Kommentierungen einzelner Vorschriften, sondern in Form themenspezifischer Abhandlungen erschlossen wird.Es besteht aus drei Sektionen, von denen die erste die Grundlagen sowie den Allgemeinen Teil des Strafrechts behandelt, die zweite den Besonderen Teil mit ausgesuchten Teildisziplinen des Strafrechts und die dritte das Strafverfahrensrecht.Das Handbuch des Strafrechts stellt dezidiert die Dogmatik in den Mittelpunkt. Es berücksichtigt vor allem die Grundlagen und deren Fortentwicklung. Losgelöst von den Herausforderungen des Augenblicks und des Einzelfalls begleitet es die Entwicklung des deutschen Strafrechts beständig und dauerhaft aus einer kritischen Distanz. Es trägt dazu bei, andere strafrechtswissenschaftliche Untersuchungen auf ein solides Fundament zu stellen. Aufgrund von Interdisziplinarität und Einbeziehung europäischer und internationaler Tendenzen ist das Werk über die nationalen Grenzen hinaus für die gesamte strafrechtliche Forschung und Praxis von Interesse.
