The main purpose of
this book is to fill an existing gap by providing Spanish law students with an
updated comprehensive overview of the scope of application of the Spanish
substantive criminal law. Therefore, topics belonging to the field of
international procedural cooperation, such as extradition and the European
arrest warrant have been omitted entirely. Basic concepts relating to issues
such as the role of criminal law and its legitimating principles, the theories
of punishment, security measures, the sources of the Spanish substantive
criminal law as well as the temporal and spatial scope thereof are addressed in
considerable depth. Notwithstanding this, given that it has been conceived as a
course-book, footnotes have not been used in order to render the text easier to
read.
A final
self-assessment multiple choice quiz section and an appendix containing the
right answers have been included, so that students themselves can test the level
of knowledge acquisition they have reached. Moreover, this book aims to be a
useful tool for Spanish scholars and legal practitioners in order to improve
their ability to use English in both academic and professional contexts and to
increase their knowledge of this language in the field of criminal law. Another
purpose of this work is to provide foreign scholars and law professionals with a
starting point for researching Spanish substantive criminal law.
