Towards an International Criminal Procedure [Paperback]

This book seeks to develop an international criminal procedural order that reconciles Continental and Anglo-American approaches. It compares German criminal procedure and English and U.S. procedure and traces their historical and philosophical development. The criminal process is covered from the first steps of the investigation up to the imprisonment of the convicted.
