Welche Chancen und Probleme bietet der Verweis auf Menschenrechte bei der Definition völkerstrafrechtlich relevanter Verbrechen? Unter welchen Voraussetzungen ist ein Verweis auf den Katalog des internationalen Menschenrechtsschutz dogmatisch angemessen und praktisch wahrscheinlich? Diese Fragen werden sowohl rechtstheoretisch, in der tatsächlichen Rechtsanwendung als auch empirisch durch Gespräche mit Richterinnen und Richtern an völkerstrafrechtlichen Gerichten ergründet.Durch das Aufzeigen der Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der beiden Rechtsgebiete, der vorherrschenden dogmatischen Unschärfen sowie Ansätzen zu deren Lösung, leistet der Band einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Debatte über Rechtssicherheit und Innovation im Bereich des Völkerstrafrechts
Article 83(2) TFEU, introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, confers a power on the EU to harmonise Member States' legislation to define criminal offences and criminal sanctions. Nonetheless, uncertainty persists as to whether this provision exhaustively determines the EU's power to adopt criminal law to enforce its policies. The article outlines the core case for viewing art.83(2) TFEU as a lex specialis. It argues that the post-Lisbon constitutional design, alongside principled and teleological considerations, support a Member State centred approach for criminal law competence. This is particularly the case with regard to the adoption of harmonisation measures.

This article explores the relationship between law and social work. It navigates the importance of the relationship and the similarities and differences between the objectives of legal and social work practitioners. It critically reviews transnational conventions and how individual countries have legislated to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk. It reflects on how far nation-states uphold human rights and the rule of law and evaluates how social work has been positioned and has performed in different legislative contexts.

The growing inter-relatedness between EC and EU law with national criminal law can be well illustrated with the example of enforcement of EU law. Criminal law is one of the latest examples of increasing European integration within the perimeters of explicit competences of EU/EC law which additionally is driven ahead by what functionalist theories of European integration might refer to as a spill-over of approaches. Necessities of crossborder crime and criminal enforcement make cooperation necessary. The latter takes place to a certain degree on the basis of positive law established on the basis of the Treaties. It also takes place in the context of evolutionary development of what one might refer to as 'administrative networks.'

"The legal position of convicted offenders is complex, as are the social consequences that can result from a criminal conviction. After they have served their sentences, custodial or not, convicted offenders often continue to be subject to numerous restrictions, in many cases indefinitely, due to their criminal conviction. In short, criminal convictions can have adverse legal consequences that may affect convicted offenders in several aspects of their lives. In turn, these legal consequences can have broader social consequences. Legal consequences are often not formally part of the criminal law, but are regulated by different areas of law, such as administrative law, constitutional law, labour law, civil law, and immigration law. For this reason, they are often obscured from judges as well as from defendants and their legal representatives in the courtroom. The breadth, severity and longevity and often hidden nature of these restrictions raises the question of whether offenders' fundamental rights are sufficiently protected. This book explores the nature and extent of the legal consequences of criminal convictions in Europe, Australia and the USA. It addresses the following questions: What legal consequences can a criminal conviction have? How do these consequences affect convicted offenders? And how can and should these consequences be limited by law?"--Bloomsbury Publishing
