Sexual Self-Determination and the German Law of Sexual Offenses

The law of sexual offenses plays only a marginal role in German law school curricula, largely because the subject is not tested on the state law exams. As a result, there is as yet no comprehensive account of German sexual offenses law that both provides a clear, concise overview of the material and meets the standards of legal scholarship. This project aims to fill that gap. The monograph will also emphasize foundational questions, including the historical development of the right to sexual self-determination, and will critically assess shortcomings of current German law.
