Das Unternehmensstrafrecht Und Seine Alternativen Matthias Jahn

Corporations are no object of german criminal law and therefore the legislative proposal to implement a corporate criminal liability in Germany led to a variety of strategic positioning. This volume provides an alternative to this "pro-con debate" and instead chooses a panoptic approach to the complexity of the problem "corporate crime". It further raises the question of whether or not the paradigm shift towards a corporate criminal liability can be justified or useful. This book covers the topics "dogmatic foundations of corporate responsibility", "the legislative proposal of North Rhine-Westphalia" and "alternatives to a Corporate Criminal Liability". Bringing together the different perspecitves of practitioners, the academic community and the business community, this volume represents no unified line of opinions but a compilation of differentiated considerations and high quality contributions to one of the most current issues of criminal law in Germany.
