The Greek Quadricodex

O'Shea J: The Greek Penal Code

The Greek Penal Code

Law 4619/2019

The Greek Code of Civil Procedure, an unprecedented translation of Greek Presidential Decree 503/1985, was painstakingly translated and edited over a period of several years.


The purpose of this publication is to clarify the Greek legal system for an international audience, ranging from investors and entrepreneurs to scholars, academics, and students of law and translation, as well as legal practitioners, providing them with the entire text of the law on procedure before Greek civil courts, rather than piecemeal Articles or the gist and main points. The translation of the law is accompanied by Greek-to-English and English-to-Greek glossaries of the terms encountered in the Code.


The book includes:An introduction by Dr. Panayiotis Yiannopoulos, LL.B., LL.M., J.D.
A detailed foreword by the translators on their approach, methodology and the translational issues faced and resolved.
A side-by-side translation of Presidential Decree 503/1985, including all amendments and updates until February 2023.
Two useful glossaries of the key terminology used in the above texts (Greek-English and English-Greek).




This volume is an indispensable bilingual aid for:Legal practitioners consulting clients involved in civil proceedings in Greece;
Legal departments of companies already set up in Greece;
Investors and entrepreneurs intending to incorporate a company in Greece, so that they remain abreast of developments in the field of their legal obligations;
Translators translating from and into Greek who require a high-quality reference when consulting either this specific Code or other laws citing it, as well as dependable glossaries;
Law and translation students interested in seeing a real-life application of their studies and requiring a reference volume for purposes of terminology and English legal drafting.

Hart Studies in European Criminal Law

Law Enforcement Access and Data Protection in EU Law

This book analyses the theorisation and application of proportionality of criminal offences and penalties in EU law, shedding light on its hybrid nature. In the EU legal order, proportionality amounts to a general principle playing a crucial role in limiting the exercise of EU powers, assessing domestic measures' compatibility with internal market freedoms, and adjudicating fundamental rights. The EU concept of proportionality has a precise theorisation, but the principle assumes a distinct physiognomy in EU criminal law. Indeed, proportionality has a different meaning in criminal law, linked to theories of punishment. Not only do the two understandings of proportionality coexist in EU criminal law, but they are also intertwined, thus giving rise to a hybrid principle. However, their uneasy relationship remains unexplored. To understand this unique interaction, the book deepens theorisation and applications of the hybrid principle of proportionality of criminal offences and penalties in the EU legislative practice on the harmonisation of substantive criminal law and ECJ case law on the review of domestic criminal measures. This analysis gives fresh insights into the relationship between the EU and criminal law concepts of proportionality within the EU legal order.

A Hybrid Principle

Proportionality of Criminal Offences and Penalties in EU Law

Key Ideas in Law

This book explores the law, philosophy, and wider implications of that brief but highly consequential moment when a judge imposes sentence on a convicted offender. Sentencing is one of the most contested aspects of contemporary criminal justice. It is an important field of study, both as an instance of coercive state power over the citizen and as the point at which the statutory purposes of punishment are given public expression. Focusing on England and Wales, with occasional comparative reference to sentencing practice around the world, topics include the legal and ethical implications of pleading guilty, the origin and development of sentencing guidelines, and the 'ordinary' language in which the sentence itself must be pronounced in open court. Tensions arise over the appropriate treatment of cohorts including the young, racialised, mentally disordered, and dangerous, and the disparate outcomes such treatment can generate. At a time of unprecedented crisis - from the phenomenon of 'sentence inflation' 50 years in the making, to the criminal court backlog, to an overcrowded prison estate - the book concludes with an appraisal and critique of the Sentencing Act 2026. The Act was pitched as a once-in-a-generation attempt at substantive justice reform, but its precise impact remains to be seen. Key Features · Offers an original account of a field in transition, equipping readers with a rich and robust evidence base · Reconciles classical theories of punishment with modern case law and sentencing practice · Comparative insights provide perspective and distance, enabling readers to form their own views on a complex field

Key Ideas in Sentencing

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

Does parole have a future? If it does, can we begin to imagine a different path? Is progressive penal reform possible, or has the time come to consider more radical alternatives in a context where there is little, if any, consensus on the underlying aims and techniques of contemporary prison release? What does this all mean for the prisoners, families, victims and publics upon whose confidence the parole system ultimately depends? This book brings together a world-leading panel of 27 experts who draw upon insights from law, sociology, criminology and political science to explore these pressing questions. At a time when many parole systems are experiencing considerable strain, the aims of this collection are twofold: first, to encourage systematic and critical reflection on the rationalities, institutions and practices of parole. Second, to think big, and pose ambitious 'what if' questions about the possible futures of parole and prison release. Offering novel insights from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, this collection builds the case for, and then showcases, a 'way of doing' parole research that is global in outlook, interdisciplinary in approach and unapologetically normative in character.

Criminal Law

This book argues that corporate harms can and should be conceptualised as horrific because they are novel forms of damage on an unprecedented scale.There is long-term recognition of widespread, systemic harms caused by corporations and the relative dearth of response by the criminal legal system. This book argues that the harms caused by corporations generate a category crisis for criminal law. Leaving aside the difficulties that criminal law has in conceptualising the corporation as a criminal legal subject, corporate harms in and of themselves raise categorical challenges because they are beyond the imagination of the criminal law in terms of magnitude, size, type, and quality. Corporate harms tend not to be the subject of criminal law because they are too vast, too diffuse, and too disturbing for existing legal categories. Drawing on criminal law, criminology, cultural legal studies, and horror as both genre and affect, this book reconceptualises corporate harm through the lens of horror. It argues that corporate violence is structurally horrific in its scale, temporality, spatial reach, ordinariness, and institutional betrayal.This book will appeal to scholars and students with relevant interests in legal theory, law and literature, criminal law, criminology, and cultural studies.

Corporate Harms

Ziel des Buches ist die Vermittlung gründlicher Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet des Vermögensstrafrechts. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in der Gesetzesauslegung. Historische und kriminologische Bezüge kommen nur zur Sprache, wenn dies für das Verständnis einer Norm oder eines Lehrsatzes unumgänglich erscheint. Die dogmatischen Teile sind knapp gehalten, wenn sich hinter einem Lehrsatz keine Streitfrage mit nennenswerten Konsequenzen für die Normanwendung verbirgt. Dagegen sind diejenigen Teile umfangreich erläutert, in denen mehr oder minder umstrittene Lehrsätze mit praktischen Auswirkungen dargestellt werden. Die Neuauflage berücksichtigt u.a. die neuere Rechtsprechung zum gefährlichen Werkzeug (KO-Tropfen und Fahrzeuge als gefährliche Werkzeuge), "Diebstahl" von Kryptowerten, Computerbetrug und Betrug bei der kontaktlosen Kartenzahlung ohne PIN-Eingabe; überarbeitet wurden die Abschnitte zur Rechtswidrigkeit der Zueignung.

Strafrecht Besonderer Teil II

This book showcases original work with practical implementation and comprehensive reviews for future developments. This book, titled, 'Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology: Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century', the first of two volumes brings together eighteen original contributions that examine criminal justice from the complementary vantage points of forensic science, law, and criminology. It offers readers from all three communities a substantive yet accessible engagement with the questions that define the pursuit of justice in 21st century, and deliberately builds bridges across disciplinary boundaries that too often remain separate. This book explores its themes along two closely intertwined lines of inquiry. On the scientific and technological front, it examines machine learning in document forensics, nuclear and metabolomic techniques in toxicological analysis, three-dimensional crime scene reconstruction, the deepfake challenge in the Indian context, and digital forensics in financial cybercrime. On the legal and criminological front, it addresses rape perpetration, domestic violence against men, prisoner mental health and suicidality, post-incarceration social reintegration, probation theory, capital punishment, euthanasia attitudes, and the role of forensic and medical evidence in Supreme Court proceedings, together painting a picture of a justice system navigating profound human and procedural challenges. The readers who find important learnings in this volume include forensic scientists, legal professionals, law enforcement practitioners, criminologists, policymakers, academicians, and students who seek a holistic and interdisciplinary understanding of how science, law, and society converge in the administration of criminal justice.

Empowering Criminal Justice in 21st Century

Trends in Forensics, Law and Criminology

Current Issues in Corrections explores a variety of the most timely and salient challenges facing the correctional system today. The text is comprised of chapters written by experts in the field who have experience as both academic and criminal justice practitioners.

The book begins with an exploration of issues in private corrections and then moves forward to discuss the rights of individuals in correctional institutions and under community supervision, the Criminal Justice Reform Act of 2018, jails and immigration, the role of drug courts in reducing recidivism, institutional programming, inmate reentry, educational trajectories of post-incarcerated youth, and more. The text concludes by considering the future of capital punishment. Each chapter includes opening questions, key terms, and discussion questions to stimulate reflection and critical thinking.

For the second edition, updates have been made throughout the chapters to reflect the most current information and statistics. The book also features two new chapters on the experiences of women and juveniles in the correctional system. Finally, the chapters on correctional history, civil commitments, and comparative corrections have been removed, allowing the volume to focus more directly on contemporary issues and remain brief enough to use in a single semester course.

Featuring a unique balance of theory and practice, Current Issues in Corrections is an exemplary textbook for courses in criminal justice and corrections.
