What Laws Lie in the Shadow of the Acquittal?
In German law, a person\xa0strongly suspected\xa0of having committed a crime can be placed in pretrial detention; but a certain percentage of such people are ultimately acquitted.\nIn this podcast, Dr. Jorg Kinzig, Director of the Institute of Criminology, University of Tubingen, discusses his explorations of why this is. What do acquittals entail? Does Germany need a system and policy change? Dr. Kinzig speaks based on his paper \u201cThe Acquittal (After Pretrial Detention)\u2014a Rare but Fascinating Phenomenon of the Criminal Justice System\u201d, published in Brill\u2019s\xa0European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law, and Criminal Justice.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
