Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Leben und Werk des Juristen Friedrich Karl von Strombeck, der im 18. Jahrhundert überwiegend als Jurist im braunschweigischen Raum tätig war. Neben seiner juristischen Tätigkeit so fungierte Strombeck etwa als Justitiar der braunschweigischen Prinzessin Auguste Dorothea, und als Richter machte er sich vor allem als Übersetzer klassischer Autoren einen Namen. Seinen Karrierehöhepunkt erreichte Strombeck in den Jahren der französischen Besatzung. Nach dem Zusammenbruch des Königreichs Westfalen musste er sich zunächst in den Privatstand zurückziehen. Im Jahre 1816 kehrte er in das politische Geschehen zurück und rehabilitierte sich so weit, dass er 1830, im Jahre der braunschweigischen Revolution, als Vertreter des Adels die Verhandlungen mit Herzog Karl II. führte. Strombeck starb 1848 im Jahr der gesamtdeutschen Revolution.Innerhalb der analysierten Werke von Strombecks findet der Strombeck'sche Strafgesetzentwurf aus dem Jahre 1829 besondere Berücksichtigung, der im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit einer eingehenden Analyse unterzogen wurde. Als besonders herausragend gilt in diesem Zusammenhang Strombecks Einsatz für die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe sowie in Anlehnung an die Leopoldina aus dem Jahre 1792 die Anbringung milder Strafen.

Peint en 1808 pour une salle d’audience du Palais de Justice de Paris, le tableau de Pierre-Paul Prud’hon, La Justice et la Vengeance divine poursuivant le Crime, a toujours été considéré comme un chef-d’œuvre du romantisme français, mais a rarement été étudié sous l’angle de l’histoire du droit pénal. Pourtant, les débats contemporains autour de la question du libre arbitre jouèrent un rôle fondamental dans le choix de son iconographie. Selon la conception invoquée par Prud’hon, l’homme agissant librement est pleinement responsable de ses actes, y compris de ses crimes – responsabilité qui confère au législateur le droit moral de fixer des sanctions, même sévères. Les réflexions d’Emmanuel Kant revêtent dans ce contexte une importance majeure. Prud’hon en eut probablement connaissance par l’intermédiaire du commanditaire du tableau, Nicolas-Thérèse-Benoît Frochot, préfet du département de la Seine, auquel est attribuée ici la paternité du programme iconographique. À travers la présente monographie, Thomas Kirchner montre combien cette célèbre peinture est l’exact reflet des discussions juridiques et philosophiques qui animèrent la France révolutionnaire, et donnèrent naissance au nouveau Code pénal et à un nouveau Code d’instruction criminelle. Das von Pierre-Paul Prud’hon 1808 für einen Gerichtssaal des Pariser Palais de Justice angefertigte Gemälde La Justice et la Vengeance divine poursuivant le Crime wurde schon immer als ein Hauptwerk der französischen Romantik betrachtet, selten jedoch auf seinen rechtsgeschichtlichen Kontext befragt. Dabei spielten die zur Zeit seiner Entstehung geführten Diskussionen um den freien Willen des Menschen eine grundlegende Rolle für seine ikonografische Wahl. Prud’hon setzt sich darin mit der Auffassung auseinander, dass der frei handelnde Mensch voll für seine Taten, auch die Verbrechen, verantwortlich ist, was wiederum dem Gesetzgeber das moralische Recht einer selbst harten Bestrafung gibt. In diesem Zusammenhang waren die…

'Disaffected' examines the effects of antisedition law on the overlapping public spheres of India and Britain under empire. After 1857, the British government began censoring the press in India, culminating in 1870 with the passage of Section 124a, a law that used the term 'disaffection' to target the emotional tenor of writing deemed threatening to imperial rule. As a result, Tanya Agathocleous shows, Indian journalists adopted modes of writing that appeared to mimic properly British styles of prose even as they wrote against empire. Agathocleous argues that Section 124a, which is still used to quell political dissent in present-day India, both irrevocably shaped conversations and critiques in the colonial public sphere and continues to influence anticolonialism and postcolonial relationships between the state and the public.

We are often told that the Victorians were far less violent than their forbears: over the course of the nineteenth century, violent sports were mostly outlawed, violent crime, including homicide, notably declined, and punishments were hidden from public view within prison walls. They were also much more respectable, and actively sought orderly, uplifting, domestic and refined pastimes. Yet these were the very same people who celebrated the exceptionally violent careers of anti-heroes such as the brutal puppet Punch and the murderous barber Sweeney Todd. By drawing attention to the wide range of gruesome, bloody and confronting amusements patronised by ordinary Londoners this book challenges our understanding of Victorian society and culture. From the turn of the nineteenth century, graphic, yet orderly, 're-enactments' of high level violence flourished in travelling entertainments, penny broadsides, popular theatres, cheap instalment fiction and Sunday newspapers.
