The book will focus on various recent streams of thought regarding the philosophy of punishment, on international and interdisciplinary issues in criminal law and the corresponding role of criminal sanctions, as well as on comparative legal issues concerning Cyprus and Greece.
The theoretical section will present more specific viewpoints related to the relationship between criminal law and politics, while the international/interdisciplinary dialogue on criminal justice touches on topics such as EU criminal law and international criminal law, organized crime, penalties, correctional system policy, and transitional justice issues.
The comparative section deals with very interesting practical areas related to punishment, such as suspension of imprisonment, life imprisonment, problems of sentencing, and issues related to specific penalties such as confiscation.
