The Renaissance of Natural Law and the Beginnings of Penal Reform in West Germany
Chapter 11 CRIMINAL LAW AFTER NATIONAL SOCIALISM The Renaissance of Natural Law and the Beginnings of Penal Reform in West Germany Petra Gödecke S The effort to achieve a comprehensive revision of the penal code had occupied German professors and practitioners of criminal law since the Kaiserreich.1 But the penal reform movement and the official reform commissions, which contin- ued all the way up to the Nazi regime’s penal reform commission under Justice Minister Franz Gürtner, remained unsuccessful. This chapter investigates when penal reform reappeared on the agenda of German criminal law professors after 1945 and what shape this new penal reform discourse took. The early postwar phase of the reform discourse had little influence on the comprehensive penal reform that was eventually passed in 1969 or on the revisions of laws on sexual offenses that took place from 1969 to 1973. But this early phase is of consider- able interest because it reveals the complex mix of continuity and change in a particular discipline at a moment of political rupture and because it reconstructs how a new reform discourse emerged under the influence of the experiences of the Nazi period and the social and cultural upheavals of the postwar era. This chapter begins with a brief overview of the penal code and of the situa- tion of academic criminal law at the universities around 1945. The next two sec- tions examine the debates on natural law and the question of why there were no efforts to completely revise the criminal code immediately after 1945. This issue leads into the following two sections, which explore the work situation, publica- tion venues, and professional meetings of legal academics in the field of criminal law after 1945. -

Germans are proud of their country’s reputation for environmental awareness and progressive green legislation, and not without justification. Over the last thirty years, Germany has led the way in reducing pollution from industry, transport and domestic heating, promoting recycling and reducing the volume of waste, decoupling economic growth from resource consumption and carbon emissions, and generally meeting the environmental challenges associated with population growth, urbanization and industrialization. The OECD called the country a ‘laboratory for green growth’ in 2012 and praised its ‘proactive role in environmental policy within the EU and internationally’. Its energy policy in particular had ‘a beacon-like character for many other countries around the world’ (see Uekötter, ch. 1). The Green Party has governed at regional level and, in coalition with the Social Democrats, formed the federal government between 1998 and 2006. More importantly, many of its policies have been adopted by other parties since the 1980s and passed into legislation. -

WETZELL, ED. WETZELL, CRIME AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN MODERN GERMANY Edited by RICHARD F. WETZELL Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington D.C.

Rather, the essays treat the history of crime, criminal law, and criminal justice as o ering the means to re ect on broader social, cultural, and political issues facing Germany in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Greg Eghigian, Penn State University CRIME ese essays make signi cant contributions. oroughly researched in primary sources, AND for the most part archival, they are also based on close familiarity with the most recent JUSTICE CRIMINAL AND CRIME writings by other scholars. Together, the essays should interest a wide range of scholars whose concerns encompass modern Germany, criminal justice, or both.
