The trans-jurisdictional discourse on criminal justice faces significant challenges due to mutual misunderstandings. The translation of legal concepts from English to other languages and vice versa is fraught with ambiguity and potential errors, as the same term can assume different meanings in different legal contexts. Moreover, legal systems may adopt divergent theoretical or policy approaches to addressing the same issues, resulting in varying outcomes, although this is not always the case.

This book represents the second volume in a series, where esteemed scholars from German-speaking and Anglo-American jurisdictions come together to write comparative essays that examine foundational concepts of criminal law and procedure. Each topic is explored from both German and Anglo-American perspectives, highlighting differences and similarities.

The trans-jurisdictional discourse on criminal justice is complex and multifaceted, requiring a nuanced understanding of legal systems and their approaches. By examining these concepts from both German and Anglo-American perspectives, this book aims to contribute to a better understanding of criminal law and procedure and promote cross-jurisdictional cooperation in the fight against crime.
