Opis

This book provides an accessible introduction to the theoretical frameworks of the dual penal state. Taking an issue-led approach, the study locates criminal law in its analytic, comparative, historical, and doctrinal contexts, and aims to stimulate critical reflection beyond the constraints of a particular jurisdiction.

Recenzje

Markus Dubber illuminates paradoxes of state power and challenges for the project of liberal criminal law. The book must attract the attention of a wide readership across legal systems and legal traditions. The concept of a dual penal state proves a useful instrument to shed a critical light on historical developments in criminal law and criminal law science, both in Germany and the United States.
