Criminal law can no longer be neatly categorised as the product and responsibility of domestic law. That this is true is emphasised by the ever-increasing amount of legislation stemming from the European Union (EU) which impacts, both directly and indirectly, on the criminal law. The involvement of the EU institutions in the substantive criminal laws of its Member States is of considerable legal and political significance. This book deals with the emerging EU framework for creating, harmonising and ensuring the application of EU criminal law. This book aims to highlight some of the consequences of EU involvement in the criminal law by examining the provisions which have been adopted in the field of information and communications technology. It provides an overview of the criminal law competence of the EU and evaluates the impact of these developments on the criminal laws of the Member States. It then goes on to consider the EU legislation which requires Member States to regulate matters such as data protection, e-security, intellectual property and various types of illegal content through the criminal law is analysed. In the course of this evaluation, particular consideration is given to issues such as the basis on which the EU institutions establish the need for criminal sanctions, the liability of service providers and the extent to which the Member States have adhered to, or departed from, the legislation in the course of implementation.

Band 4 "Strafrecht Besonderer Teil I" widmet sich den Straftaten gegen die Person , Aussagedelikten , Begünstigung und Strafvereitelung und Straftaten gegen die Staatsgewalt . In einzelnen Abschnitten werden der Schutz von Leib und Leben, persönlicher Freiheit, sexueller Selbstbestimmung, der Ehre und des persönlichen Lebens- und Geheimbereichs sowie der Schutz des Staates und der Schutz der Staatsgewalt und öffentlichen Ordnung ausführlich besprochen.Konzeption:Das auf neun Bände angelegte "Grundlagen des Strafrechts" ist eine Gesamtdarstellung des deutschen Strafrechts und Strafverfahrensrechts, das nicht über Kommentierungen einzelner Vorschriften, sondern in Form themenspezifischer Abhandlungen erschlossen wird. Es besteht aus drei Sektionen, von denen die erste die Grundlagen sowie den Allgemeinen Teil des Strafrechts behandelt, die zweite den Besonderen Teil mit ausgesuchten Teildisziplinen des Strafrechts und die dritte das Strafverfahrensrecht . Das Handbuch des Strafrechts stellt dezidiert die Dogmatik in den Mittelpunkt. Es berücksichtigt vor allem die Grundlagen und deren Fortentwicklung. Losgelöst von den Herausforderungen des Augenblicks und des Einzelfalls begleitet es die Entwicklung des deutschen Strafrechts beständig und dauerhaft aus einer kritischen Distanz. Es trägt dazu bei, andere strafrechtswissenschaftliche Untersuchungen auf ein solides Fundament zu stellen. Aufgrund von Interdisziplinarität und Einbeziehung europäischer und internationaler Tendenzen ist das Werk über die nationalen Grenzen hinaus für die gesamte strafrechtliche Forschung und Praxis von Interesse.

As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The second one is related to Agency and Politics and explores global governance, datafication, fake news, echo chambers, digital media activism. The last one, Users and Practices, is finally devoted to telepresence, digital loneliness, amateurism, user generated content, fandom and authenticity. The book aims to shed light on how concepts emerge and are co-shaped, circulated, used and reappropriated in different contexts. It argues for the need for a conceptual media and communication history that will reveal new developments without concealing continuities and it demonstrates how the analogue/digital dichotomy is often a misleading one.

This book offers a diachronical and inter-/transmedia approach to the relationship of media and fear in a variety of geographical and cultural settings. This allows for an in-depth understanding of the media’s role in pandemics, wars and other crises, as well as in political intimidation. The book assembles chapters from a variety of authors, focusing on the relation between media and fear in the West, the Middle East, the Arab World and China. Besides its geographical and cultural diversity, the volume also takes a long-term perspective, bringing together cases from transforming media environments which span over a century. The book establishes a strong and historically persistent nexus between media and fear, which finds ever-new forms with new media but always follows similar logics.

Wildlife trafficking threatens the existence of many plant and animal species and accelerates the destruction of wildlife, forests, and other natural resources. It contributes to environmental degradation, destroys unique natural habitats, and deprives many countries and their populations of scarce renewable resources. Nevertheless, preventing and supressing the illegal trade in wildlife, animal parts, and plants is presently not a priority in many countries and it remains overlooked and poorly researched. The chapters included in this volume address causes, characteristics, and actors of wildlife trafficking, analyse detection methods, and explore different international and national legal frameworks.
