Abstract

This book presents empirical analyses of the normative and ideological structures of courts' decisions to imprison in the daily handling of criminal cases. It explores the ways in which the courtroom decision-making process upholds decisions as legally valid, whilst at the same time also allows decision-making to reflect wider and more contextual factors.

Abstract

Das Werk widmet sich dem (Privat-)Wohnungseinbruchdiebstahl nach § 244 Abs. 1 Nr. 3, Abs. 4 StGB. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Rechtswirklichkeit der Strafzumessung bei dem Delikt. Auf Grundlage einer multiperspektivischen Betrachtung der Erscheinungsformen des Phänomens und seiner rechtlichen Bewertung untersucht die Arbeit die Reform des Tatbestandes und die Praxis der tatgerichtlichen Strafzumessung bei dem Delikt. Insbesondere werden Unterschiede im Strafmaß, die nicht hinreichend durch Sachverhaltsunterschiede der zugrundeliegenden Fälle erklärt werden können, sowie Defizite in der Begründung der Strafzumessungsentscheidungen aufgezeigt. Die Arbeit legt einen Handlungsbedarf im Strafzumessungsrecht offen. This study addresses the phenomenon of domestic burglary (§ 244 (1) No. 3, (4) German Criminal Code). Particular emphasis is placed on the realities of criminal sentencing for this offense. Based on a multi-perspective analysis of the various appearances of the phenomenon and its legal classification, the study examines the reform of § 244 GCC and the realities of sentencing in criminal courts for the offense. In particular, discrepancies in sentencing that cannot be adequately explained by differences in factual circumstances of the underlying cases, and deficits in the written reasons for sentencing decisions are highlighted. The study reveals a need for action in the field of criminal sentencing.

Abstract

In September 2018 the criminal law section of the 72nd Deutscher Juristentag (DJT, "German Assembly of Jurists") debated the question "Sentencing Guidelines vs. Free Judicial Discretion - Is German Sentencing Law in Need of Reform?" Despite the expert opinion provided by Johannes Kaspar and the accompanying scholarly commentaries, ensuing proposals for fundamental reform met with rejection. The comparative perspective was limited to the US Federal sentencing guidelines. The intention of this volume is therefore, on the one hand, to draw a more nuanced picture of Anglo-American sentencing law focusing on three legal systems (England/Wales, USA and Canada) accompanied by commentaries from a German perspective; on the other hand, we want to make the German perspective (better) known within the Anglo-American legal world by reproducing important DJT documents in English language. To ensure the widest possible distribution we opted for a bilingual open access publication.

Abstract

The 'Million Dollar Inmate' highlights the financial and social costs of America's incarceration of non-violent offenders. Basing her insight on extensive research into the origins of our correctional systems, the visible and non-visible costs incurred by the practice of incarcerating non-violent offenders, and the goals of our prison system, Heather Ahn-Redding dares to expose flaws in current correctional practices and suggest ways they can be not only changed, but re-envisioned as well.

Abstract

This latest volume in the Penal Theory and Penal Ethics series addresses one of the oldest and most contested questions in the field of criminal sentencing: should an offender's previous convictions affect the sentence? This question provokes a series of others: Is it possible to justify a discount for first offenders within a retributive sentencing framework? How should previous convictions enter into the sentencing equation? At what point should prior misconduct cease to count for the purposes of fresh sentencing? Should similar previous convictions count more than convictions unrelated to the current offence? Statutory sentencing regimes around the world incorporate provisions which mandate harsher treatment of repeat offenders. Although there is an extensive literature on the definition and use of criminal history information, the emphasis here, as befits a volume in the series, is on the theoretical and normative aspects of considering previous convictions at sentencing. Several authors explore the theory underlying the practice of mitigating the punishments for first offenders, while others put forth arguments for enhancing sentences for recidivists. The practice of sentencing repeat offenders in two jurisdictions (England and Wales, and Sweden) is also examined in detail
