The purpose of the article is to find the best ways to resolve conflicts in the criminal law of Ukraine. Methods. Methodological tools are selected in accordance with the purpose, specifics of the object and subject of research. The main one is general dialectical method of scientific knowledge of real legal phenomena. Special research methods used in the study are: the method of systematic analysis, formal legal, interpretation of law, comparative law, modeling. The theoretical basis of the study is the latest scientific works in the chosen field of research. Results. As proved during the analysis of the legal literature, there is the following list of effective ways to resolve and prevent conflicts in law, which can be extrapolated to the field of criminal law: 1) unification of law; 2) harmonization of law; 3) approximation of law; 4) clear delineation of powers of public authorities; 5) monitoring of normative legal acts; 6) creation of model laws; 7) interpretation of law; 8) improvement of legislation. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it is proposed to apply different principles to overcome conflicts depending on their type (in particular, "a special law repeals a general law", "a later law cancels an earlier one", "the next general law does not cancel an earlier special law of similar legal force"). Types of "conflict rules" in the sources of criminal law are presented primarily depending on the specific type of such sources. Modern legislation, including criminal, contains virtually no rules aimed at overcoming intersectoral conflicts, but conflicts of law in various areas of Ukrainian law create significant problems in law enforcement.

Considerable scholarly attention has been paid to a range of criminal behaviours that are perpetrated with the aid of digital technologies. Much of this focus, however, has been on high-tech computer crimes, such as hacking, online fraud and identity theft, or child exploitation material and cyberbullying. Less attention has been paid to 'technology-facilitated sexual violence', where new technologies are used as tools to perpetrate or extend the harm of a sexual assault, extend control and abuse in a domestic violence situation, or distribute sexual or intimate images of another without their consent. In this article, we focus on the scope and limitations of criminal legislation for responding to these varied but interconnected gendered harms. We argue that although there have been some developments in a range of international jurisdictions, particularly relating to the phenomenon of 'revenge pornography', much more needs to be done both within and beyond the law. Whilst we support the intervention of the criminal law, we argue that equal attention must be given to policies and practices of educators, law enforcement agencies, service providers, online communities and social media networks to fulfil the promise of equal and ethical digital citizenship.

In the past twenty years, international criminal law has become one of the main areas of international legal scholarship and practice. Most textbooks in the field describe the evolution of international criminal tribunals, the elements of the core international crimes, the applicable modes of liability and defences, and the role of states in prosecuting international crimes. The Oxford Handbook of International Criminal Law, however, takes a theoretically informed and refreshingly critical look at the most controversial issues in international criminal law, challenging prevailing practices, orthodoxies, and received wisdoms. Some of the contributions to the Handbook come from scholars within the field, but many come from outside of international criminal law, or indeed from outside law itself. The chapters are grounded in history, geography, philosophy, and international relations. The result is a Handbook that expands the discipline and should fundamentally alter how international criminal law is understood.

Die Arbeit liefert Erkenntnisse über die bisher kaum untersuchte Perspektive der betroffenen Frauen und setzt sich auf der Basis der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse mit dem jüngst eingeführten Straftatbestand des § 237 StGB auseinander. Die qualitative Studie mit Interviews betroffener Frauen vermittelt perspektivische Erkenntnisse über die Hintergründe und Bedingungen von Zwangsehen. Die hieraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden dazu genutzt, einen Präventions-und Opferschutzmaßnahmenkatalog zu erarbeiten und den Straftatbestand des § 237 StGB auf seine Erfolgsgeeignetheit im Hinblick auf die Verhinderung von Zwangsehen zu überprüfen. Dabei werden mehrere Defizite der Strafnorm herausgestellt

Die Autorin geht der Frage nach, ob §§ 66a und 66b StGB rechtsstaatlichen Anforderungen genügen. Ausgehend von der Untersuchung der gesetzlichen Regelungen werden die vorbehaltene und nachträgliche Sicherungsverwahrung auf ihre Vereinbarkeit mit der Verfassung und der EMRK überprüft. Hierbei wird insbesondere auf die Sonderstellung der Sicherungsverwahrung im Maßregelrecht eingegangen, welche im Ergebnis zu einer Verneinung der Rechtmäßigkeit der nachträglichen Sicherungsverwahrung führt. Im Anschluss wird der Umgang mit (gefährlichen) Rückfalltätern in den Niederlanden dargestellt und mit dem deutschen verglichen, wobei auch die neue niederländische Maßregel ISD untersucht wird
