&lt;p&gt;Aufgaben und Struktur des Fachs.- Thanatologie.- Traumatologie und gewaltsamer Tod.- plötzliche und unerwartete Todesfälle aus innerer Ursache.- Klinische Rechtsmedizin und forensisch-klinische Untersuchungen.- Forensische Psychopathologie.- Toxikologie.- Verkehrsmedizin (einschliesslich Alkohol).- Serologie und Hämogenetik.- Ärztliche Rechts- und Berufskunde - Arztrecht.- Versicherungsmedizin, Begutachtungskunde.- besondere Rechtsvorschriften in der Schweiz und Österreich.&lt;/p&gt;

Verfahren wegen Kinder- und Jugendpornografie zählen zu den komplexesten Feldern der Strafverteidigung. Digitale Beweismittel, internationale Meldesysteme, KI-gestützte Auswertung und erheblicher öffentlicher Druck verlangen Fachwissen, das weit über die klassische Strafrechtsdogmatik hinausgeht. Dieses Werk liefert es – erstmals als geschlossene, praxisorientierte Gesamtdarstellung.
Behandelt werden die materiellen Grundlagen der §§ 184, 184a, 184b, 184c StGB einschließlich der Reform 2024, der nach wie vor umstrittene Pornografiebegriff sowie die zentralen Tathandlungen. Einen Schwerpunkt bildet die Besitzstrafbarkeit: Die strafrechtliche Einordnung von Dateien in Arbeitsspeicher, Cache, Thumbnails und gelöschten Bereichen wird technisch wie dogmatisch aufbereitet und unmittelbar in Verteidigungsansätze überführt.
Von der NCMEC-Meldung über Durchsuchung und Beschlagnahme bis zur Hauptverhandlung begleitet das Werk den gesamten Verfahrensgang. Es zeigt, wie digitale Beweismittel gesichert, ausgewertet und angegriffen werden können, und erörtert Beweisverwertungsverbote, die Problematik der IP-Zuordnung, den unreflektierten Besitz durch Messengerdienste sowie die Blackbox KI-gestützter Massendatenauswertung.
Für die Hauptverhandlung stellt es ein differenziertes Repertoire an Verteidigungsstrategien bereit – Freispruch-, Geständnis-, Strafmaß-, Absprachen- und Beweiswürdigungsverteidigung –, jeweils zugeschnitten auf die typischen Fallkonstellationen dieses Deliktsfelds. Abgerundet wird das Werk durch die Darstellung psychologischer Aspekte, den Umgang mit Medienöffentlichkeit und Stigmatisierung sowie praxisnahe Hinweise zu Prävention und Resozialisierung.
Es verbindet damit Rechtsdogmatik, technisches Fachwissen und Verteidigungsperspektive in einer geschlossenen Konzeption, die in dieser Form bislang nicht vorlag.

Strafverteidigung in Verfahren wegen Kinder- und Jugendpornografie

Knight's Forensic Pathology has become a standard reference book worldwide. The unambiguous style, practical orientation, and an approach based strictly on scientific evidence together with the experience of the authors have contributed to this success. A cautious and self-critical interpretation of autopsy findings is required for a correct diagnosis, and these findings become the cornerstone for investigating unexplained fatalities. Whenever possible, macroscopic evaluation should be complemented by visiting the scene of death, pre-autoptic imaging, biochemical and toxicological analyses as well as histological examinations.This latest edition represents a comprehensive revision, incorporating cutting-edge research and contemporary scientific literature in the field. The text has been significantly enriched with an extensive collection of new full-colour photographic documentation, primarily sourced from recent forensic autopsies conducted at the prestigious Freiburg Institute of Forensic Medicine. The commitment to case-based learning is maintained by presenting meticulously documented cases that highlight crucial morphological findings-an approach that remains invaluable in developing the forensic pathologist's critical diagnostic acumen and observational expertise. Reviews of the previous edition."This remains one of the most important books in this field of pathology. It is comprehensive and well written. The images and drawings are carefully chosen and nicely depict common and uncommon problems encountered in forensic pathology. This book is highly recommended for everyone who performs medicolegal autopsies and should be in all pathology and general hospital libraries." Doody's Book Review Service"This book is, and will remain for some time, the international benchmark for general forensic pathology and should be on the shelves of every forensic department and library. It is a joy to read and never fails to yield pertinent information and details on cases, conditions and issues" - Roger W. Byard, School of Medicine, The University of Adelaide, Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, Springer

Das Nebenstrafrecht ist keineswegs Nebensache: Betäubungsmittelstrafrecht, Ausländerstrafrecht, Verkehrsstrafrecht, Waffenstrafrecht und Wehrstrafrecht haben in der Strafrechtspraxis eine wichtige Bedeutung. Seit einigen Jahren wird Nebenstrafrecht an Universitäten gelehrt, bisher fehlte es aber an Ausbildungsliteratur. Der Band füllt diese Lücke und stellt das Nebenstrafrecht systematisch anhand vieler Beispiele dar: im 1. Teil die übergreifenden Fragen wie etwa Irrtumsfragen, im 2. Teil die praktisch bedeutsamsten Gebiete des Nebenstrafrechts.

Das Nebenstrafrecht ist in der Strafrechtspraxis keineswegs Nebensache: Betäubungsmittelstrafrecht, Ausländerstrafrecht, Verkehrsstrafrecht, Waffenstrafrecht und Wehrstrafrecht haben als wichtigste Gebiete des Nebenstrafrechts eine eminent praktische Bedeutung. In der Ausbildung wurde dieses Thema hingegen lange vernachlässigt. Seit einigen Jahren wird Nebenstrafrecht an den Universitäten gelehrt und gelernt. Bislang fehlt es aber an Ausbildungsliteratur. Diese Lücke füllt das vorliegende Buch. Es richtet sich an Studenten, Referendare und Berufseinsteiger. Im ersten Teil des Buchs werden die übergreifenden allgemeinen Fragen des Nebenstrafrechts wie etwa Verwaltungsakzessorietät oder Irrtumsfragen dargestellt. Der zweite Teil des Buchs behandelt die praktisch bedeutsamsten Gebiete des Nebenstrafrechts. Anhand vieler Beispiele werden die Grundstrukturen der einzelnen Rechtsgebiete anschaulich erläutert. Literaturhinweise ermöglichen eine vertiefte Beschäftigung mit Einzelfragen.

Crime Prevention and Security Management

This edited book provides a comprehensive study of punitive practices in modern-day Lithuania, highlighting its significance as a democratic European state navigating the continuing consequences of its Soviet-era criminal justice system. Punitive attitudes and practices are explored through a thematic framework, examining their socio-political, cultural, and historical contexts. Part I traces the cultural, psychological, and historical origins of punishment, highlighting the influence of collective memory and transitional reforms on penal debates. Part II examines the uneven application of criminal justice, showing how it unfairly punishes marginalised and disadvantaged communities. Part III explores advancements in probation, imprisonment, crime prevention, and victim support, showing how reforms can become both symbolic and oppressive. The book offers various criminological viewpoints that contribute to policy discussions about reducing excessive punishment, exploring alternatives, and promoting meaningful justice reform. This vital resource supports the work of scholars in criminology, sociology, law, and related fields focused on social justice and democratic reform.

Diagnostic Pathology: Neoplastic Dermatopathology

An introduction to the study of crime, criminal conduct, and the judicial systems created to address aspects of the Foundations of Criminology: Crime, Theory, and Justice The main criminological theories that explain why crime happens are examined in this text, together with patterns and trends in crime in various communities and an analysis of the ethical, legal, and social aspects of justice.
 
 In addition to modern concerns including cybercrime, violent crime, white-collar crime, victimization, and policy reform, students are exposed to classical, biological, psychological, and sociological viewpoints. The book, which places a strong emphasis on critical thinking, links theory to practical application and challenges readers to consider how courts, corrections, and law enforcement function in larger social contexts.
 
 Foundations of Criminology, which is both academically demanding and easily accessible, gives individuals the conceptual skills they need to comprehend crime in contemporary society and gets them ready for further study or jobs in criminal justice and related subjects.

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

This book explores the path dependencies that have shaped the prison systems of the former communist countries of Europe following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Reflecting the varied ethno-religious populations of the region, the collection details how ethnic minority prisoners were managed under different communist regimes and how this changed after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In chapters written by authors from fifteen countries, it explores past and present aspects of penal governance, gang culture, Council of Europe leverage, geopolitics and prisoner experiences. The authors are drawn from across the disciplines of anthropology, criminology, geography, history, modern languages and literature, and sociology. The collection shines a light on prison systems that are often overlooked in discussions of European penalty. The collection addresses the question of whether ‘post-communist’ is an appropriate label to attach to these prison systems and, in line with the current imperative to decentre Russian and East European area studies, it brings together research from a diverse range of the former communist states of Europe. This book will be of interest to criminologists, historians, and social scientists and a general readership interested in Russia, and the countries of East Central Europe and the Balkans.Brendan Humphreys

Forensic Medicolegal Injury and Death Investigation

This essential book brings together leading criminology researchers from across the globe to explore the critical role of the 'evidence base' in crime and criminal justice. It began with a simple question: if experts were asked to write about the evidence base in their area of expertise, what would they say? Casting the net widely to ensure a diverse range of topics, contributors were given a straightforward brief: 5000 words on any aspect of the evidence base within their field. The result is a lively and accessible collection of papers offering critical assessments and insightful commentary on the state of research evidence.This book is designed for students, academics, policymakers, and practitioners in criminology, criminal justice, and related fields. It addresses the challenges of turning empirical evidence into effective policy and practice, while highlighting methodological, political, and practical issues faced by researchers. The chapters provide research-driven insights into the evidence base across various areas, making this an invaluable resource for understanding the intersection of research and public policy in criminal justice.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Evidence Base.

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.

Cambridge Bioethics and Law

The Human Embryo in vitro explores the ways in which UK law engages with embryonic processes under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (as amended), the intellectual basis of which has not been reconsidered for almost thirty years. McMillan argues that in regulating 'the embryo' - that is, a processual liminal entity in itself - the law is regulating for uncertainty. This book offers a fuller understanding of how complex biological processes of development and growth can be better aligned with a legal framework that purports to pay respect to the embryo while also allowing its destruction. To do so it employs an anthropological concept, liminality, which is itself concerned with revealing the dynamics of process. The implications of this for contemporary regulation of artificial reproduction are fully explored, and recommendations are offered for international regimes on how they can better align biological reality with social policy and law.
