»The Limits of Self-Defence in Germany and Selected Slavic Countries; A Legal Comparison with Special Regard to the Views of the Population Towards Self-Defence in Germany and Slovenia«: This thesis deals with the limits of self-defence and compares German self-defence law with the regulation in selected Slavic countries. In addition, the views of the Slovenian population on self-defence are empirically examined and contrasted with the views of Germans obtained in the Dresden self-defence study. The work confirms the comparatively sharp self-defence law in Germany and proposes a future regulation for Germany and the EU Model Penal Code.

»Corporate Criminal Liability as Punishment for someone else's Fault«: This comparative law thesis deals with a question regarding a possible introduction of a criminal liability for corporate entities in Germany: It examines the question of whether there is a dogmatic-theoretical or logical connection between the criminal liability of corporate entities and the non-acceptance of a principle of personal culpability, and whether this connection can also be demonstrated in dogmatic-historical or empirical terms.

»Medical Criminal Law in German-Georgian Comparison«: With 16 contributions by Georgian and German criminal law scholars, this conference volume discusses fundamental value conflicts of modern medical criminal law in an unprecedented scope. Ethical and legal basic questions of euthanasia as well as special liability questions concerning negligence, omission, doping, corruption in health care, abortion and transplantation law are discussed.

»Data Collection in the Investigative Process and Constitutional Restrictions«: Even under today's technology conditions authorization norms for data collection in criminal investigation should be designed according to the principles of clarity and proportionality. However, recent developments in Germany and South Korea have been overly skewed towards effective criminal investigation. New investigative measures should be actively accepted parallel to the change in reality, but at the same time, procedural controls to prevent excessive violation of character should also be secured.

»Perpetration and Participation in Intentional Collective Decisions in Commercial Enterprises«: The thesis deals with the comparative analysis of the theoretical and normative bases of the criminal involvement regulated in the German and Spanish criminal law systems. The theoretical foundations that have been developed are explained using epistemological and legal-philosophical principles. The forms of general participation, and therefore the involvement of company directors and unqualified outsiders jointly involved in unlawful decision-making, are argued from a normative criminal law doctrine and illustrated by numerous examples.

»The Judicial Protection against Interventions in Fundamental Rights. A Comparative Law Analysis«: This research deals with judicial protection against interference with fundamental rights during criminal investigations. Based on a comparison of the Colombian case and the German criminal procedure model, it examines the shortcomings of the normative and judicial treatment of the reasonable grounds (motivos fundados) for a criminal investigation in Colombia. The result offers a strict and systematic interpretation of the reasonable grounds as the main basis of the system of judicial protection.
