Increasingly, international governmental networks and
organisations make it necessary to master the legal principles of
other jurisdictions. Since the advent of international criminal
tribunals this need has fully reached criminal law. A large part of
their work is based on comparative research. The legal systems
which contribute most to this systemic discussion are common law
and civil law, sometimes called continental law. So far this
dialogue appears to have been dominated by the former. While there
are many reasons for this, one stands out very clearly: Language.
English has become the lingua franca of international legal
research. The present book addresses this issue. Thomas Vormbaum is
one of the foremost German legal historians and the book's original
has become a cornerstone of research into the history of German
criminal law beyond doctrinal expositions; it allows a look at the
system s genesis, its ideological, political and cultural roots. In
the field of comparative research, it is of the utmost importance
to have an understanding of the law s provenance, in other words
its historical DNA."
