German and United States law have long been the competing lodestars of criminal justice. Drawing upon well-annotated cases and statutes, Dubbers and Hörnle's Criminal Law: A Comparative Approach provides an indispensable cartography of both legal systems and especially their points of departure. It is hard to imagine how we previously operated without such a well-plotted map of comparative criminal law.
Steven Wilf, Anthony J. Smits Professor of Global Commerce, University of Connecticut
For the first time, the wealth of German legal thinking in criminal law has been made accessible to English-speaking jurists. Two leading experts of comparative legal thinking present the great cases of German and U.S. criminal law and masterfully analyze their meaning and impact. Anyone interested in criminal law will vastly profit from the novel perspectives that this volume offers.
Professor Dr. Thomas Weigend, University of Cologne
Dubber and Hörnle have teamed up to produce a richly stimulating volume, one that doubles as an innovative teaching tool and a valuable reference work on comparative criminal law. By comparing American and German law to each other, the authors reveal much about the underlying structure of criminal law that readers might miss by looking at either system on its own.
Stuart P. Green, Distinguished Professor of Law and Nathan L. Jacobs Scholar, Rutgers School of Law
Dubber and Hörnle Criminal Law is a pioneering piece of comparative law scholarship. Avoiding the kaleidoscope of multiple systems description, this innovative book offers a profound and detailed analysis of two major criminal law traditions: the US and the German one. Taking so seriously the comparative approach, Dubber and Hörnle allow the reader to understand not only the essential features of the examined systems, but also the very nature of fundamental principles, doctrines, and critical decisions that shape the criminal law almost everywhere today.
Professor Michele Papa, University of Florence
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.
Frank Meyer, Professor at the University of Zurich
