Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Justice

Welcome to the Website of the multi-year international project ‘Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice’. Our aim is to explore the foundational principles and concepts that underpin different domestic legal systems, and different traditions of criminal law theorising, in particular the common law, Anglo-American, and the German traditions.
