Next\, selected recent developments and research find ings across these methodological groups are presented. The lecture also ex amines the relevance of mental health diagnoses for predicting reoffense a nd the application of machine learning algorithms in applied recidivism ri sk assessment settings. Finally\, it addresses the specific challenges and potential solutions in the comparatively new field of recidivism risk ass essment for digital sexual violent behaviors (e.g.\, sexual offenses invol ving the use and/or production of Child Sexual Exploitation Material [CSEM] or cybergrooming).\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Martin Rettenberger (Centr e for Criminology\, Wiesbaden\, and Department of Psychology\, Johannes Gu tenberg University\, Mainz) LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T060118Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: Recidivism and Risk Assessment Research o n Sexual Offenders: Advances and Current Developments URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/44131/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/39513/111930 DTSTART:20260422T150000Z DTEND:20260422T170000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20241008T122213Z DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen the emergence of dual-use technologies a nd\, more generally\, of scientific research pertaining to technologies th at are potentially beneficial to humanity\, but that may also harm it in a serious\, lasting\, and possibly even irreversible way (e.g. genomic edit ing\, geoengineering\, or AI). Faced with ‘dangerous science’ – so d efined –\, the issue of adequate types and content of duties and respons ibilities for anticipating both the potential benefits and harms of such s cience has become more pressing. One framework from which States may deriv e duties and responsibilities to anticipate both the potential harms and b enefits of such science is the human right to enjoy the benefits of scient ific progress and its applications\, as well as to participate in that pro gress\, under Article 15(1)(b) of the International Covenant on Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights (often referred to as the ‘human right to sc ience’). Not only\, indeed\, does that right include (i) everyone’s ri ght to access and participate in the scientific enterprise and its organiz ation\, and (ii) to access and participate in the benefits of scientific p rogress\, but (iii) it also constitutes a right to be protected against th e adverse effects of science. Interestingly\, while some duties and respon sibilities of scientific anticipation grounded in the human right to scien ce have been briefly mentioned in recent interpretations of this right by United Nations’ rapporteurs and bodies\, their specific content\, scope\ , and bearers are still to be fully addressed\, and their key potential to drive reform of the precaution-prevention paradigm has yet to be fully le veraged\, including through international cooperation. This lecture explor es the comparative advantages of the anticipation of duties and responsibi lities grounded in the human right to science though a critical examinatio n of the existing international environmental law regime for anticipating the potential harms and benefits of marine geoengineering.\nSpeaker: Prof. Samantha Besson (Collège de France\, Paris) LAST-MODIFIED:20251017T060649Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: Dangerous Science\, Anticipation and the Human Right to Science URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/39513/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/44441/111930 DTSTART:20260226T163000Z DTEND:20260226T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260119T123638Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Dr. Monica den Boer (Leiden University/Netherlan ds Defence Academy) LAST-MODIFIED:20260119T124100Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:s.ellebrecht@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Lecture with the Police Accountability Conference: Police Accountab ility Adrift?

This is true for our personal life dec isions: Should I become a practicing lawyer\, which would provide me with financial security\, or pursue an academic career and thereby choose a lif e of the mind? But it also applies to fundamental legal decisions: We bala nce privacy against national security\, freedom of expression against repu tational interests\, arguably even the benefits of supranational integrati on against national sovereignty. What often troubles us about these hard c hoices is that the values at play lack a common normative consideration ag ainst which they could be rationally compared. The values of\, say\, liber ty and security\, or financial security and intellectual freedom\, cannot be put on a cardinal scale. To balance these values may amount to ranking the incommensurable. If that is so\, how can we – and how can legislator s or judges – hope to rationally resolve hard choices without resorting to brute picking and plumping for no good reason?

Ke vin Toh first examines whether Kant’s treatment of legal indeterminacy c ould be built upon to make progress in contemporary theorizing about the n ature of law. He contends that contemporary legal philosophers have strugg led to develop a satisfying treatment of legal indeterminacy and related i ssues\, which are central to competing conceptions of the nature of law. T oh wishes to assess whether Kant offers any conceptual resources for a bre akthrough – or at least for some progress. Second\, he also aims to expl ore whether Kant’s approach to legal indeterminacy\, at least as reporte d by Ripstein\, is compelling in its own right. Guided by a sceptical view \, Toh will conclude by sketching an alternative take on legal indetermin acy that he believes is more convincing. And he will also argue that there is a strand of Kantian thinking\, displayed most clearly in Kant’s disc ussion of artistic genius in the Critique of Judgment (1790)\, that could be invoked to buttress the alternative approach that he is proposin g.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Kevin Toh (University College London) LAST-MODIFIED:20251111T081314Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN=MPI-CSL in cooperation with the Department of Political Scienc e and Philosophy of Law at the University of Freiburg :mailto:c.hillemanns @csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Freiburg Lectures on Staatswissenschaft and Philosophy of Law: Kant ian Legal Indeterminacy URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/43270/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/42675/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251130 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250814T122355Z DESCRIPTION:Please note: closed event LAST-MODIFIED:20251022T051012Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) ORGANIZER;CN="Prof. Wolfgang Frisch (External Scientific Member of the MPI- CSL), Prof. Tatjana Hörnle (Director at the MPI-CSL), Prof. Ralf Poscher (Director at the MPI-CSL)":mailto:criminal-law@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Workshop: Was darf der Staat unter Strafe stellen? – Zur Konstitu tion eines Besonderen Teils des Strafgesetzbuchs URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/42675/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/42885/111930 DTSTART:20251028T153000Z DTEND:20251028T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20250904T083439Z DESCRIPTION:The panel discussion will be in German language.

To address this shortcoming\, the workshop aims to bring together schol ars from law and philoso­phy to explore and discuss the nature\, function \, and (meta-ethical) implications of accountability practices in both leg al and moral contexts.

Hence\, values and civic maturity play no role in private law reasoning. Further­more\, Bernard Williams poses a pugnacious puzzle that arises in regard to civic maturity. If we ask the citizen to ‘take responsibility\ ,’ then the answer demon­strates precisely that the citizen either has not shown maturity or is not mature. A sign of maturity means taking respo nsibility through our realization and re­flections\, not because someo ne else has told us to do so. Contra Williams\, I will argue that tort law advances proleptic thoughts and ways of engag­ing with values so that the citizen inhabits a deliberative-aspirational perspective that reflects civic maturity. However\, there is a tension between the idea of civic maturity itself and legal responsibility\, and between rights and v alues or the good. The lecture will concentrate on this tension and will o ffer a solution to either dissolve or mitigate it.\nSpeaker: Prof. Veronic a Rodriguez-Blanco (University of Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy) LAST-MODIFIED:20250625T105746Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: Can Tort Law Transform the Citizen Toward s Civic Maturity?

It suffices to consider that without an individuation bas is (individuators for the object «norm») legal science cannot\, in a con sistent way\, classify norms or detect conflicts among them. It is of the utmost importance for legal science\, then\, to adopt criteria of individu ation and\, in such a way\, to define which are the necessary conditions t o have\, within the legal materials expressed by normative authorities\, a (complete) norm. As a task leading to establish the unit of a normative s ystem\, the selection of norm individuators is not exempt of consequences in our understanding of law. Accordingly\, implications of individuation s uch as correl­a­tiv­ity between agents\, generality of norms and their common pre­scrip­tiveness have also to be evaluated whenever legal scien ce faces the problem of composing the unit «norm».\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. D avid Duarte (University of Lisbon)\nVideo: with video (link within this we bpage) LAST-MODIFIED:20250516T082651Z LOCATION:University of Freiburg/Germany\, Wilhelmstraße 26\, Room: 01.014 ORGANIZER;CN=Department of Political Science and Philosophy of Law at the U niversity of Freiburg in cooperation with the MPI-CSL:mailto:c.hillemanns@ csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Freiburg Lectures on Staatswissenschaft and Philosophy of Law: Syst ematic Implications of Norm Individuation URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36497/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/39654/111930 DTSTART:20241025T090000Z DTEND:20241025T100000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20241021T075612Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Dr. Dr. Günter Frankenberg (Goethe University F rankfurt)\nPlease Note: Max Planck Law researchers only LAST-MODIFIED:20241021T080132Z LOCATION:Max Planck Law\, online ORGANIZER;CN=Max Planck Law:mailto: info@law.mpg.de SUMMARY:Lecture: Comparative Law’s Practice: Positions\, Perspectives\, a nd other Pitfalls (external event) URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/39654/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37554/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241024 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241026 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240417T063501Z DESCRIPTION:The theme for 2024 will explore economic\, psychological\, and biological perspectives on the ‘dark’ sides of behavior\, such as expl oitation\, violence\, discrimination\, criminal and antisocial behavior\, conflict and war.\nOrganization: Dr. Dr. Hannes Rusch\, Dr. Lennart Reddma nn (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime\, Security and Law\, Freib urg/Germany)\, and Elke Lucas (Maastricht University) LAST-MODIFIED:20240417T064339Z LOCATION:School of Business and Economics\, Maastricht University/Netherlan ds ORGANIZER;CN="School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University":mail to:cben.2024.maastricht@gmail.com SUMMARY:Meeting: The Cognition\, Behavior &\; Evolution Network (CBEN) i n the Low Countries (external event) URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37554/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/38247/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241017 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241019 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240527T044043Z DESCRIPTION:The Forum Latin America Initiative from the Max Planck Law Netw ork is organizing a conference that will address the topic ‘The Law & \; The Amazon: Challenges for a Sustainable Future’\, aiming to bring to gether legal scholars\, sociologists\, anthropologists\, and leaders from civil society\, to discuss ongoing critical issues while giving room to La tin American perspectives.

Such a legitimization is typically derived from so-called pu nishment (or “penal”) theories (such as “absolute punishment” theo ries à la Kant or Hegel or “relative punishment” theories that weigh the deterrent effects of punishment against the harm it produces). These t heories are inherently normative (in the sense that they work with ethical arguments)\, but many of these theories also make (explicit or implicit) assumptions about “human nature” (i.e.\, about people’s subjective p unitive instincts\, retributive desires\, affective responses\, attitudes\ , values\, etc.). Whether or not these assumptions are tenable is not a qu estion of plausibility or pure logic\, but rather a question of whether em pirical findings speak for or against them. Social psychology – and\, so cial justice research in particular – aims to provide such empirical fin dings\, and I will show how such findings can be used to inform punishment theory. To do so\, a first necessary step is to thoroughly investigate pu nishment theories with regard to the explicit and implicit assumptions the y make about human nature\, and then\, in a second step\, scrutinize these assumptions against empirical findings. This is exactly what Mario Gollwi tzer and Ralf Kölbel (Chair of Criminal Law and Criminology\, LMU) are cu rrently trying to do in a research project funded by the Volkswagen Founda tion. Mario Gollwitzer will present preliminary findings from this project and\, finally\, reflect on the usefulness and the feasibility of their ap proach.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Mario Gollwitzer (Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universi tät\, Munich)\nVideo: with video podcast (link within this webpage) LAST-MODIFIED:20240612T072419Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:criminal-law@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: How Social Psychological Research Can Inf orm Punishment Theory URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36341/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37783/111930 DTSTART:20240604T180000Z DTEND:20240604T200000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240514T134544Z DESCRIPTION:Look Away: A True Story of Murders\, Bombings\, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants\, a book by Jacob Kushner.\nSpeaker : Jacob Kushner LAST-MODIFIED:20240522T050358Z LOCATION:German-American Institute (DAI)\, Heidelberg/Germany ORGANIZER;CN="DAI in cooperation with Fulbright Germany, the Max Planck Ins titute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (Heidelberg) and t he Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law (Freiburg )":mailto: SUMMARY:Lecture and Book Launch: Look Away – The NSU Case (external even t) URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37783/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/38173/111930 DTSTART:20240603T140000Z DTEND:20240603T150000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240517T080228Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jacob Kushner LAST-MODIFIED:20240522T045615Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Günterstalstr. 73\, Room: Auditorium | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:a.schaich@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Book Launch with Author Jacob Kushner (former Journalist in Residen ce at the Max Planck Institute): Look Away: A True Story of Murders\, Bomb ings\, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/38173/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35422/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240603 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240605 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230913T103503Z DESCRIPTION:Please note: closed event LAST-MODIFIED:20240328T140514Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:criminal-law@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Conference: Theorizing Criminal Law URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35422/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37042/111930 DTSTART:20240524T071500Z DTEND:20240524T150000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20240307T070958Z DESCRIPTION:Please note: closed event LAST-MODIFIED:20240503T060828Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:criminal-law@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:A Celebration of Michael Tonry's Career: Key Issues in Criminal Jus tice URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/37042/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36304/111930 DTSTART:20240416T150000Z DTEND:20240416T170000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20231211T160820Z DESCRIPTION:The Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA) supports the Ukrainian Office of the General Prosecutor in its chal­leng­ing efforts to invest igate and prosecute mass atrocity crimes in the context of the Russian ag ­gres­sion against Ukraine.

A recurrent criticism of criminal justice systems in Germany and elsewhere holds that the testimonies of some witne ss groups such as alleged victims of sexual offenses are not adequately be lieved. This criticism raises worries about the legitimacy of criminal pro cedures and should not be dismissed as mere empirical matters. One of the most influential theories in contemporary philosophy\, Miranda Fricker's a ccount of epistemic injustice\, explores forms of injustice which persons may be exposed to in the production of knowledge and in giving testimony. The account provides a philosophical lens for analyzing German criminal pr ocedural law. In particular\, the talk examines the claim that epistemic j ustice may and should be considered an implicit principle of criminal proc edural law\, with implications for two case examples: the pre­sump­tion of falsity of witness statements\, established in a landmark decision by t he German Fed­eral Court of Justice over twenty years ago\, as well as th e way the justice system addresses specific group-based biases in judicial reasoning such as racial bias. Both suggest legal reforms.\nSpeaker: Dr. Jan Christoph Bublitz (University of Hamburg) LAST-MODIFIED:20231201T054616Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:m.cordes@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Guest Lecture Series “Society: Status Quo and Normative Change” : Epistemic and Criminal Justice: The Economy of Witness Credibility in Ge rman Criminal Procedural Law URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36197/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36176/111930 DTSTART:20231206T171500Z DTEND:20231206T190000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20231123T131958Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Dr. Matthias Jestaedt (University of Freiburg) LAST-MODIFIED:20251218T114430Z LOCATION:University of Freiburg\, Room: Lecture room 1199\, University buil ding I ORGANIZER;CN=Department of Political Science and Philosophy of Law at the U niversity of Freiburg in cooperation with the MPI-CSL:mailto:rechtstheorie @jura.uni-freiburg.de SUMMARY:Freiburg Lectures on Staatswissenschaft and Philosophy of Law: Die Entzauberung der juridischen Welt: Der Beitrag Hans Kelsens zum Rechtsdenk en URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/36176/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35156/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231031 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231103 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230811T060821Z DESCRIPTION:Change notice: Please note: The event was canceled.

The problem is that much of existing criminal law does not fit this model. A number of responses to this mismatch have been propo sed. Perhaps the criminal law should be reformed to match the theory\; per haps we can do more to understand how even violations of mala prohibita of fenses are culpable\; perhaps we need to take this connection as aspiratio nal but not strictly binding\; or perhaps we should recognize that the con nection between punishment and culpable actions is just a misguided ideolo gical fixation—in truth\, we are better off using a utilitarian concepti on of the criminal law\, according to which it is just a tool to be used t o deter potential criminal action and incapacitate potential criminals in whatever way best serves society. I reject all of these options and defend a different account. I argue that the criminal justice system draws on tw o normative frameworks. Criminal law properly conceived calls for and lice nses censure and punishment\, but only insofar as they are proportional re sponses to culpable actions. Penal law operates as a complement to crimina l law. It is not responsive (at least not in the same way) to the culpabil ity of action\, and it grounds no censure. But it allows for penalties tha t exceed those that would be proportional to the culpability of an action (and certainly than those that fit Ordnungswidrigkeiten). It is als o responsive to\, in ways the criminal law is not\, the benefits of incapa citating the dangerous. It can do these things because it operates on a se parate basis: not retributive response to culpable action but fair forfeit ure of the right not to be penalized. These two foundations can be harmoni zed to provide a normative account of the criminal justice system that fit s the law reasonably well but still has some revisionist force.\nSpeaker: Prof. Alec Walen (Rutgers Law School)\nVideo: with video podcast (link wit hin this webpage) LAST-MODIFIED:20231110T142237Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: The Limits of Culpability: Why the Crimin al Justice System Needs a Complementary Foundation in Fair Forfeiture URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/34749/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35614/111930 DTSTART:20231016T063000Z DTEND:20231017T104500Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230929T074653Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20231006T062608Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Günterstalstr. 73 ORGANIZER;CN="Chair of Public Law and Legal Theory of the University of Fre iburg in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law":mailto:rechtstheorie@jura.uni-freiburg.de SUMMARY:Conference: The Practice of Constitutional Courts in Times of Trans formation – Dialogues between North and South URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35614/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35234/111930 DTSTART:20230915T070000Z DTEND:20230915T090000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230824T082846Z DESCRIPTION:– Within the framework of the 11th International Associati on of Penal Law (AIDP) Young Penalists Symposium on Victim-Centered Crimin al Justice –\nPanel organized by: Otto Hahn Research Group on Altern ative and Informal Systems of Crime Control and Criminal Justice (Max Plan ck Institute for the Study of Crime\, Security and Law) LAST-MODIFIED:20230824T090850Z LOCATION:Ritsumeikan University\, Kyoto/Japan ORGANIZER;CN=AIDP Young Penalists Committee:mailto: SUMMARY:Conference Panel: Centering Victims in Criminal Justice: Philosophi cal and Legal Perspectives URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35234/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35408/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230914 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230917 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230913T084617Z DESCRIPTION:The event brings together researchers from all over Europe and the US to present and discuss their latest research from the Zurich Projec t on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso). – Registr ation required!

Such data can have high probative value in legal trials. Still\, courts in and outside t he UK have been ambivalent about the possibility of mak­­ing legal judge ments based solely on statistics. The presen­­ta­­­tion will seek to uncover the root of this ambivalence\, and to suggest that it highlights a fundamental connection between practical normativity and epistemic normat ivity. The argument will be that a Razian concept of respect for persons p rovides reasons against legal judgments of liability based solely on stati stics. This is because statistics logically bar the elimination of the ris k of error\, and relatedly\, they cannot justify belief in the availabilit y of reasons to make a judgment of liability. The presentation will furthe r seek to demonstrate that the argument carries over to non-legal spheres in which the Razian notion of respect plays a role. The UK’s attempt to determine A-level grades algorithmically during the Covid-19 pandemic prov ides an example.\nSpeaker: Prof. Liat Levanon\, Ph.D. (Dickson Poon School of Law\, King's College London)\nVideo: with video podcast (link within t his webpage) LAST-MODIFIED:20230817T120334Z LOCATION:Freiburg/Germany\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113 ) | Guests are welcome\; please register ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Max Planck Guest Lecture: Evidence Law in times of a “Big Data Re volution” URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35021/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/35026/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230720 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230723 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230711T102715Z DESCRIPTION:Legal hermeneutics could be deemed a broader notion than just l egal interpretation.

In this l ecture\, Postema will sketch the basic outlines of this conception and the values it serves. The rule of law’s ambition\, he will argue\, is to pr ovide protection and recourse against the arbitrary exercise of power usin g the distinctive tools of the law. Law provides a bulwark of protection\, a bridle on the powerful\, and a bond constituting and holding together t he polity and giving public expression to an ideal mode of association. Tw o principles immediately follow from this core: sovereignty of law\, deman ding that those who exercise ruling power govern with law and that law gov erns them\, and equality in the eyes of the law\, demanding that law’s p rotection extend to all who are bound by it. Animating law’s rule\, the ethos of fidelity commits all members of the political community to take r esponsibility for holding each other accountable under the law. The moral foundation of this demanding ideal lies in a commitment to common membersh ip of each person in this community\, recognizing their freedom\, dignity\ , and status as peers. The lecture will consider the relationship between democracy\, human rights\, and the rule of law and will conclude with thou ghts on some of the most serious threats to the viability of law’s rule. \nSpeaker: Gerald J.

Central to the new orthodoxy is the claim that self-defence is a right that can justify a right to inflict ha rm on unlawful aggressors. Crucially\, this is a right to inflict harm ava ilable to both the victim and others even if these others are not harmed o r threatened. This talk explores how this view of just war as self-defence justifying a right to harm is based on a misunderstanding of how self-def ence works in criminal law. This alternative view understands self-defence as a kind of defence\, such as duress\, which might provide an excuse for wrongs and not a justification to do wrong. The talk examines the consequ ences for just war theorising\, such as whether understanding just war as excused sets a higher threshold for justification.\nSpeaker: Prof. Thom Br ooks (Durham Law School) LAST-MODIFIED:20230710T100206Z LOCATION:University of Freiburg\, Room: Lecture room 3219\, University buil ding III Guests are welcome!

While some of these challenges have existed for decades\, notably over -punishment and the over-representation of marginalized groups within the purview of punishment\, others have more recently emerged from novel devel opments within society and policy\, such as the rise of Artificial Intelli gence and the employment of modern science and new technologies in crimina l justice\, which warrant further analysis. Against this backdrop\, this w orkshop brings legal scholars from different jurisdictions together to dis cuss novel perspectives and alterna­tive models addressing important diac hronic issues and current questions within these fields. The talks will pr ovide a broad analysis of current debates that surround the state of the a rt and future of sentencing\, including its theoretical goals\, principles \, and factors\, its implications for different groups of defendants and t ypes of offenses\, and the concrete potential of empirical and cross-disci plinary knowledge to aid in sentencing authorities. The overall goal is to offer a forum for discussing the dynamics\, shortcomings\, and comparativ e significance of modern sentencing trends and sanction models\, with spec ial focus on the aspects that are most in need of reform.

The explanations usually offered—rising crime rates in the 1970s and 1980s\, public anger and anxiety\, crime con trol politics\, neoliberal economic and social policies—are fundamentall y incomplete. The deeper explanations are four features of American histor y and culture that shaped values\, attitudes\, and beliefs and produced a political culture in which suffering is fatalistically accepted and policy makers are largely indifferent to individual injustices. The four element s are the history of American race relations\, the evolution of Protestant fundamentalism\, local election of judges and prosecutors\, and the conti nuing influence of political and social values that emerged during three c enturies of Western expansion. The last\, encapsulated in Frederick Jackso n Turner’s “frontier thesis\,” is interwoven with the other three.

It offers a new way of understanding many of our disagreements: even when we mean different things by the words we argue about\, we don’t al ways talk past each other. Sometimes\, we engage in a fundamental dispute about what these words ought to mean\, and by extension\, about the best w ay to describe reality.

Some famously worry that such AI pose an existential risk to humans\, either due to indifference to human aims o r a hostility to humans. This paper focuses on a different cluster of ques tions: a series of questions in the foundations of ethics raised by the po ssibility that we ask AI to engage in evaluative reasoning (e.g.\, about what is good and bad\, right and wrong\, etc.). There is a natural e pistemic motive for asking strong AI to engage in evaluative reasoning: on e might hope that strong AI could help us to make progress in addressing p ersistent evaluative controversies. However\, suppose that strong AIs conv erge on evaluative conclusions that we are independently inclined to oppos e. For example\, AI might come to anti-anthropocentric evaluative c onclusions (two examples: maybe they really prioritize certain cognitive c apacities in their evaluations\, treating us the way we treat mosquitos\; or maybe they don’t\, treating the interests of insects as on a p ar with that of highly rational beings). Alternatively\, AI might come to radically consequentialist conclusions\, that portray the evaluativ e significance of\, e.g.\, our relations to our projects and loved ones as easily swamped. We take such dissatisfaction with (by hypothesis) epistem ically highly credible evaluative conclusions to raise important questions about our attitudes towards the evaluative\, even if we assume a strong s ort of realism about evaluative thought and talk. It is familiar for metae thical antirealists to ask the question “why care about evaluative prope rties?” on the supposition that realism is true. And they often argue th at this is a reason to reject realism. However\, we think that the sorts o f possibility we are canvassing instead makes salient two other ways of th inking about alienation from evaluative standards. First\, it could push u s to a conceptual ethics conclusion that we ought to adopt other (p erhaps: more anthropocentric) evaluative concepts. Second\, it might inste ad push us toward a deep alienation from the evaluative: that is\, we migh t simply embrace that the our existing evaluative concepts capture what re ally and truly matters\, and find that we simply don’t want our lives or world to be structured by what really and truly matters\, if it involves sufficient sacrifice of what we care about. In light of these issues\, we then reflect on how to best think about what “the” alignment problem i n AI really is\, suggesting that there are in fact multiple different “a lignment” problems that are worth wrestling with\, and that it is a diff icult evaluative question which one to prioritize in thinking about AI eth ics\, and why.\nSpeaker: Professor David Plunkett (Dartmouth University\, Department of Philosophy) \nCo-author: Tristram McPherson LAST-MODIFIED:20250516T083039Z LOCATION:Freiburg\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F113) | Guest s are welcome\; please registrate ORGANIZER;CN=MPI-CSL in cooperation with the Department of Political Scienc e and Philosophy of Law at the University of Freiburg :mailto:c.hillemanns @csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Strong AI and the Foundations of Ethics URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/34210/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/33791/111930 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230424 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230426 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20230303T122655Z DESCRIPTION:The event is organised together with the European Anti-Fraud Of fice (OLAF) and with financial support from the Union Anti-Fraud Programme (UAFP).

First\, Christian Bum ke aims to compare how German legal doctrine and a pluralistic approach\, known as the “New Private Law Theory” in the USA\, can be used to thin k about and work with the law. Bumke will argue that\, while there are con siderable differences between the two\, they can be understood as two vari ants of the same general approach towards legal scholarship\, which he cal ls “conceptual legal scholarship”. His second goal consists in develop ing a reflection on methodol­ogy. For this purpose\, he examines the diff erences within con­cep­tual legal scholarship. He wishes to show that ve ry different academic activities are pursued both within legal doctrine an d New Private Law scholarship. Bumke will make a distinction between two d ifferent types of conceptual legal scholarship. On the one hand\, there ar e approaches that aim to explain a certain legal phenomenon\; on the other hand\, one finds approaches that aim to understand the law’s normative content. He will argue that differentiating between the two perspectives i s important because they respond to different expectations and have to con form to different standards.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Christian Bumke LAST-MODIFIED:20221201T093049Z LOCATION:Freiburg\, Fürstenbergstr. 19\, Room: Seminar room (F 113) | Gues ts are welcome!

Legal po sitivists have in general been resistant to recognizing implicit law\, whi le natural law theorists have conceived implicit law in moralized terms. B oth views appear to be discredited when checked against considered interpr etative judgments. This lecture broaches a new way of conceiving implicit law by exploiting two analogies: (i) an analogy between implicit law and i mplied fictional truths – i.e. what are true in a work of fiction but ar e not explicitly specified as such by the author or artist\; and (ii) an a nalogy between the interpretive principles that we rely on to generate imp lied fictional truths (what are often called “principles of generation ” in philosophical aesthetics)\, and the principles that we rely on to c onstruct counterfactual scenarios for a variety of purposes – e.g. in ex plaining and predicting each other’s thoughts and behavior\, in our back ward-looking moral emotions such as regret and relief. The two aforementio ned analogical arguments suggest that the principles we rely on to generat e implicit law are deep-seated and fundamental features of our psychologic al makeup. The overall implication that this paper teases out is that the implicit law of any legal system is neither a set of moral principles as n atural law theorists argue\, nor a set of principles that we agree on or m anufacture as legal positivists conceive laws in general. Instead of being a product of human making\, the implicit law of any legal system i s likely a product of human makeup.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Kevin Toh LAST-MODIFIED:20221201T074605Z LOCATION:Freiburg – via Zoom (link see below) ORGANIZER;CN="Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law ":mailto:c.hillemanns@csl.mpg.de SUMMARY:Implicit Law and Adjudication in Hard Cases URL;VALUE=URI:https://csl.mpg.de/events/30248/111930 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260520T045531Z UID:https://csl.mpg.de/events/30426/111930 DTSTART:20220316T130000Z DTEND:20220316T143000Z CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20220307T133458Z DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Martin Kühl\nHybrid Session: We will do a hybrid session\; i.e. you can also join virtually (Zoom link see below).

My talk develops a conception of agency that can provide theoreti­cal underpinning for these practices. As a firs t step\, I defend the widely accepted view that producing an outcome (eith er as an in­tended or as a negligently-unlucky one) makes a difference: s o long as the outcome can be imputed to the agent\, it qualifies what the agent is responsible for. The object of assessment (“what D has done”) changes from “X activity” (minus the outcome) to “X activity with o utcome”. Potentially much more contentious is the second step in my argu ment: the claim that how the outcome matters for our responsibility is aff ected by the question whether the outcome is the product of our intentions or whether it is the product of risks we have negli­gently created. This analysis explains many contentious features of the criminal law. However\ , it puts pressure on the justification for outcome-dependent crimes of ne gligence as such. For how can\, on the assumption that we have a much less tight connection to negligently-risked outcomes than to intended ones\, t he criminal law’s prac­tice of making the occurrence of the outcome the linchpin for most offences of criminal negligence\, be defended?\nSpeaker : Dr. Antje du Bois-Pedain\n2G rules/hybrid session: Please note that 2G r ules will apply.

The “naturalistic fallacy ” is a particularly solid fence. It not only claims that the normative d isci­plines need not worry about facts. It would actually be a category e rror if they care. Although at its core the law is a normative disci­plin e\, it has not always been that hostile towards facts. But it used to have a rather loose attitude towards empirics. Often\, any factual statement “that matters” has been accepted as a legitimate ele­ment of legal re asoning. A social scientist would likely disagree. A factual claim is not the same as empirical evidence\, most im­portantly since correlation is n ot causation. Criminology defines itself as the social science concerned w ith crime and punishment. This invites a division of labour: to the extent that a normative conclusion in the area of criminal law rests on an empir ical claim\, it is for criminology to deliver the evidence. Yet what count s as evidence? To a relevant degree\, this is not only a question of epist emology. It also is a matter of disciplinary culture. Historically\, crimi nology defines itself as applied sociology. This historical root is a prod uctive one. But it has led the discipline to largely ignore an im­portant source of evidence: experiments under the controlled conditions of the la b. Interestingly\, in empirical legal studies\, this method is much more e stablished than in criminology\, despite the fact that empirical legal stu dies are much more recent. The talk will explain why lab experiments could be helpful for criminology\, and accordingly for the empirical grounding of criminal law\, and will illustrate the power with experiments on crime and punishment.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Christoph Engel (MPI for Research on C ollective Goods\, Bonn)\n2G rules/hybrid session: 2G rules will apply in t he seminar room and during the reception.

The lec­ture out­lines the ten­ets of a fal­lib­il­ist­ic concept of know­ledge and com­pares the chal­lenge of de­term­in­ing a suf­fi­cient level for the stand­ard of evid­ence to the epi­stem­o­lo­gic­al chal­l enge of re­con­cil­ing “to err is hu­man” with the claim to know­ ledge.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Geert Keil (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) LAST-MODIFIED:20221201T093256Z LOCATION:University of Freiburg\, Room: Lecture room 1010\, University buil ding I | Guests are welcome!

Leveraging uniquely rich case information on all felony arrests i n California and Texas between 2006 and 2018\, this article provides a det ailed examination of the legal treatment of non-U.S. citizens from booking through sentencing. In both states\, we find that non-U.S. citizens arres ted for the same crime and with the same prior record are significantly mo re likely to be convicted and incarcerated than U.S. citizens. These unexp lained citizenship gaps often exceed the observed disparities between whit e and minority defendants\, but the results were not identical in both sta tes. In line with the more rigid views towards migrant criminality in Texa s\, the case processing of foreign nationals is notably more severe there than in California at nearly every key decision point. These findings sugg est that even in local criminal justice settings\, citizenship is a unique and consequential axis of contemporary legal inequality.\nSpeaker: Prof. Michael T.

Sometimes\, to save some\, it is permissible to do things that would normally violate rights but that\, under the circumstances\, merely infrin ge them. The function of rights\, on this standard view\, is at most to ra ise a kind of moral barrier to their neglect. Moreover\, even if an agent has sufficient moral reason to get over that barrier\, she will presumably have wronged the right-holder. The only way\, according to the standard t heory\, to do what would normally wrong a right holder\, without actually wronging the person\, is if she has waived or forfeited her right. I will argue that much of this standard picture is wrong. I argue for a different model—the mechanics of claims—according to which rights are the outpu t of a balance of claims\, an output which describes what is ultimately pe rmissible. Rights infringement is\, on this view\, a misleading\, morally distorting idea. Rather\, we need to focus on how different kinds of claim s interact\, and what makes claims stronger or weaker. Forfeiture is only part of that picture\, a part that is over-emphasized in the standard view . As for the state\, I will argue that through its law-making and regulato ry power\, it has an important role in fixing certain kinds of substantive rights. It sets\, within limits\, what count as legitimate expectations. Nonetheless\, the state’s power is substantially limited by substantive rights. Although the state has certain unique powers\, it remains an agent confronting other agents in a space of rights. It is within this framewor k that I argue we should think carefully about when defensive force may pe rmissibly be used.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Alec D.
