Terrorism offence cases tried by courts in Germany: a file analysis
Thu, September 12, 4:00 to 5:15pm, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: Basement, Constantin Dissescu Room (0.01)Abstract
Terrorism offences in Germany are mainly guided by European legal frameworks such as the Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council on combating terrorism. The criminal law lists offences relating to a terrorist group as well as offences aimed at individuals acting independently. This contribution will focus on empirical results of an extensive court file analysis of convictions for terrorism offences by courts in Germany that became final in the period 2012–2019. The bulk of the material available for research relates to cases of transnational Jihadism (n = 129) but other criminological backgrounds were also included.
