Since the advent of international criminal tribunals this need has fully reached criminal law. A large part of their work is based on comparative research. The legal systems which contribute most to this systemic discussion are common law and civil law, sometimes called continental law. So far this dialogue appears to have been dominated by the former. While there are many reasons for this, one stands out very clearly: Language. English has become the lingua franca of international legal research. The present book addresses this issue. Thomas Vormbaum is one of the foremost German legal historians and the book's original has become a cornerstone of research into the history of German criminal law beyond doctrinal expositions; it allows a look at the system’s genesis, its ideological, political and cultural roots. In the field of comparative research, it is of the utmost importance to have an understanding of the law’s provenance, in other words its historical DNA.LawPhilosophyLawHistoryPrivate international lawConflict of lawsInternational lawComparative lawCriminal lawCriminologyTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative LawCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure LawCriminologyLawPhilosophy.LawHistory.Private international law.Conflict of laws.International law.Comparative law.Criminal law.Criminology.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.Private International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law.Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law.Criminology.345.43009Vormbaum Thomasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut511458Bohlander Michaeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484647803321A Modern History of German Criminal Law2846664UNINA
