Die Verteilung von Kompetenzen, also auch das Verhältnis von Festlegung und Spielraum, von Gebundenheit und Entscheidungsfreiheit, ist von elementarer Bedeutung für Macht und Ohnmacht der am Strafrecht Beteiligten. Und „Beteiligte“ sind hier, auf die eine oder andere Art, alle: Der Bürger als Souverän und Rechtsunterworfener ebenso wie die Akteure im konkreten Strafverfahren. Kompetenzverlagerungen weg vom Souverän hin zu den anderen Beteiligten werfen schwierige Legitimationsfragen auf und betreffen das Verständnis von Recht und Strafe in seinem Kern. Die anlässlich eines Kolloquiums des Instituts für Kriminalwissenschaften der Juristischen Fakultät der Universität Göttingen entstandenen Beiträge nehmen sich der Aufgabe an, den gegenwärtigen Stand des Strafrechts in Hinblick auf Gesetzesbindung und Verfahrensförmlichkeit zu analysieren und zu bewerten.

The study presented in this book is a direct response to the needs for defining and registering criminal and judicial data on the European level. Based upon work done in creating the European Sourcebook of Crime and Criminal Justice Statistics (ESB), the project results will improve and complement the standards developed so far for definitions and statistical registration in four fields (police, prosecution, courts, prison), in order to contribute to the picture of criminal justice in Europe. Possibilities to optimize the offence definitions used so far in the ESB context were explored. Also, further crime types, especially those subject to EU-harmonized definition, were tested and introduced. Apart from this, the prosecution chapter of the ESB questionnaire was changed and expanded. Data collection possibilities regarding compulsory measures in the investigatory stage were tested, and a more sophisticated approach for recording sanctions and measures as well as prison data was developed. The study explored how far national statistics can provide such data and developed a concept for collation on European level. It was funded by the European Commission under the AGIS 2006 program.

This work examines the nature of criminal responsibility, and thereby the very heart of criminal law theory. The analysis exposes the relevance of criminal law and punishment for the stabilization of norms within society. This allows to determine the function of placing blame and of the principle of culpability. Thus, this thesis offers in-depth insights into the mechanism and elements of the attribution of individual responsibility. The main finding is that only culpability and the consideration of its elements, which are defined in this work, are capable of functionally determining punishment (i.e., in accordance with the necessity of punishment for the stabilization of norms).
