A modern history of German Criminal Law / Edited by Thomas Vormbaum, Michael Bohlander ; translated by Margaret Hiley
Heidelberg : Springer, 2014
xxiii, 304 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Increasingly, international governmental networks and organisations make it necessary to master the legal principles of other jurisdictions. 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 systems 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 laws provenance, in other words its historical DNA.

A rage to punish : the unintended consequences of mandatory sentencing / Lois G. Forer
New York : Norton, 1994
204 p. ; 24 cm.
For the past two centuries, the United States has relied on prison as the punishment of choice for law violators although it has not deterred crime or rehabilitated offenders. Since the 1970s increasingly severe sentencing laws, both mandatory sentences and sentencing guidelines, have been adopted by the federal government and the states. The results have been massive prison overcrowding, the expenditure of millions of tax dollars on prisons, crowded court dockets, and incredible hardship on the offenders and their families. Crime has not been decreased. Streets are no safer. Respect for law has diminished. Judges, prison wardens, and concerned citizens demand a change in this costly and futile program of punishment
