Securite detention and imprisonment
Anotation
The history of the legal establishment of security detention in the Germany, or in the individual Länder, is long and has been accompanied by a number of changes, whether due to the political situation or to public opinion. Although the criminal law of our countries is very different in many respects, it can only be to our advantage to follow developments in this area in our neighbours. That is why the Institute for Criminology and Social Prevention has decided to translate and publish in the PRAMENY series a monograph by Axel Dessecker and Fredericke Leuschner, who work at the Criminological Research Institute in Wiesbaden (KrimZ). Under the title "Sicherungsverwahrung und vorgelagerte Freiheitsstrafe: Eine empirische Untersuchung zur Ausgestaltung der Unterbringung und des vorhergehenden Strafvollzugs", the study offers insights not only into the development of the practice of pre-trial detention in the Federal Republic of Germany or the professional structure of the staff in the facilities where pre-trial detention is carried out, but also into the use of individual sub-measures or activities within pre-trial detention that aim at its "gradual loosening". The text is supplemented by tables and summaries from official crime statistics.
