Zwangloses Strafverfahren? : Verfahrensbeendigungen aus Gründen der Opportunität durch die Anklagebehörde in Dänemark aus deutscher Sicht

Abstract

Opposite to Germany, Denmark is often categorized as an country following the opportunity principle in criminal procedure. How is the Danish prosecution service using the power to end cases in which it would be possible to bring the case to court? How is this power regulated and controlled? And, when looking at the actual use of the power, is there really a clear difference to the German system following the legality principle? Those are the main questions raised in the dissertation.
