Heads of project: Matthew Fox, David R. Gibson
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees criminal defendants the right to have their guilt decided by an impartial jury. Yet, trials do not occur in a vacuum and prospective jurors bring with them to court various biases that cause them to be partial.

The Criminal Liability of Inadvertent Negligence from a German and Anglo-American Perspective

The Criminalization of Inadvertent Negligence from a German and an Anglo-American Perspective

Project

Head of project: Johannes Weigel
The criminalization of inadvertent negligence has long been deliberated in German criminal law scholarship, although the debate seems largely to have come to a standstill in recent decades. Today, most scholars defend the existing criminalization by means of a (purely) norm-based allocation of blame.

Shifts in Interests in European Extradition Law

Department of Public Law Project

Head of project: Thomas Wahl
The surrender of criminal suspects who flee to foreign countries has sparked controversy for centuries. Relevant extradition law shows not only criminal law’s territorial limits, but the dissolution of tension between security through effective cross-border enforcement and protecting individual rights.

Anti-Impunity: Do Human Rights Give the Victim a Right to Punishment?

Project

Heads of project: Philipp-Alexander Hirsch, Patrick Joseph Siegle
The project examines the human rights guarantees of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights, and the fundamental rights of the German Grundgesetz as shaped by the respective case law to determine the extent to which they grant victims of crime subjective rights to punishment of the offender.

Necessity and the State’s Monopoly on the Use of Force

Department of Criminal Law Project

Head of project: Florian Slogsnat
What is the relationship between private and state conflict management? The aim of this project is to examine this relationship in the context of section 34 German Criminal Code (necessity as a justification, rechtfertigender Notstand). According to this provision, an act is justified if it is committed in order to defend a higher-ranking protected legal interest.

Legal Safeguards of Truth

Department of Public Law Project

Head of project: Johannes Buchheim
This project seeks to analyze and assess the constitutional and practical possibilities and limits of legal instruments countering the spreading of “fake news,” especially in the digital realm. In the past decade, the phenomenon of “fake news”— severely exacerbated by the digital media revolution—has raised persistent and heightened concerns throughout liberal democracies.

Social Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice

Department of Criminal Law Project

Heads of project: Federica Coppola, Adriano Martufi
The rehabilitative ideal of criminal justice is again at a critical crossroads. Over the course of the 20th century, various normative models of rehabilitation were theorized and implemented. From among these, recent trends in legal scholarship and jurisprudence have increasingly embraced “social” rehabilitation as a fundamental goal of justice that protects against potential violations of the rights of persons involved with the criminal justice system vis-à-vis punitive ideologies and incapacitating practices of punishment.

Citizenship in the Counter-Terrorist State: Learning from Security Practices in France and the UK

Department of Public Law Project

Head of project: Rachel Pougnet
This comparative socio-legal project examines increasing state uses and (re)configurations of citizenship in national security contexts. Over the last few decades, the use of citizenship to curtail the rights of suspected terrorists and enhance exclusionary politics of belonging has become a common mode of state action.

Comparative European Study – Rights After Conviction

Department of Public Law Project

Head of project: Michael Kilchling
This comparative European study identifies and analyses the rules governing abrogation or temporary restrictions on civil and political rights imposed with criminal penalties. Historically, these restrictions originated with honour-related punishments common in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.

Richard Martin Honig – Formative Göttingen (Criminal) Jurist?

Project

Heads of project: Philipp-Alexander Hirsch, Matthias Dölling, Jan Rennicke
Richard Martin Honig (1890–1981) is best known in German criminal law as one of the pioneers of the doctrine of objective imputation due to his ground-breaking contribution “Kausalität und objektive Zurechnung” (Causality and objective imputation) in the Festgabe für Frank (1930), which has since become commonplace in German criminal law doctrine. The resounding success of this legal concept has led to an almost unmanageable range of opinions and an ever-expanding scope of application.

Triage in Pandemics

Department of Criminal Law Department of Public Law Project

Heads of project: T. Hörnle, R. Poscher, J. Arnold
The project, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, was completed in late 2024. It focused on the dilemmatic situation that requires choosing between patients who need life-saving resources. What should the criteria for the distribu-tion of resources be, and who should define them?

Crime Reduction Interventions in Public Space (CRIPS)

Department of Criminology MAXLab Project

Heads of project: Jean-Louis van Gelder, Sara-Laure Faraji
The central predicament of the criminologist lies in the object of study: crime takes place outside our field of view. As a consequence, criminologists have historically prioritized studying the properties of individuals and the social factors that propel them into and out of crime (e.g., peers, gangs, neighborhoods, dispositions) over the study of their decision-making and the examination of the crime event.
