Zusatztext Dubbers and Hörnles book is unique in its approach; Criminal Law - A Comparative Approach looks behind the scenes of two of the most influential criminal law systems. It provides a highly instructive account of their conceptual foundations and offers an illuminating juxtaposition and analysis of their specific approaches towards a vast array of modern-day criminal law's most important subjects. In so doing, the authors not only foster mutual understanding, but also surprise their readers with numerous insights into the inner workings of their own legal systems.
