(2014) A modern history of German criminal law, Dordrecht, Springer.
With the GDR's accession to the Federal Republic, the FRG's legal system was extended to include the new federal states, where it was only possible to build up the criminal law system by using personnel from the Federal Republic. Their secondment created staff shortages, which once again led to a reduction in the application of criminal law through reducing the size of judicial panels, limiting appeals, limiting the formal right to make evidential motions, expanding the summary written procedure (Strafbefehl) and extending the principle of discretionary prosecution.
