Richterliche Entscheidungsspielräume bei der Strafzumessung und strafprozessuale Kontrollmaßnahmen

<p>This study is the first to explore, from a comparative legal perspective, the procedural constraints on judicial sentencing discretion in China and Germany. Drawing on a functionalist comparative methodology, the author examines how procedural norms in both jurisdictions serve three core functions: enhancing the transparency of sentencing decisions, enabling effective participation of parties in the sentencing process, and ensuring structural oversight by the court system. The research provides a novel contribution to comparative criminal justice studies by offering new insights into the interaction between procedural safeguards and judicial discretion in sentencing. The book will also be available in open access upon publication.</p>
