This spring, the Stanford Criminal Justice Center and the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice at the University of Gottingen are partnering on a seminar titled "Police and Prisons: German and American Approaches to Reform and Abolition (2030)" for Stanford Law School students ...and Gottingen students.
The seminar examines the legal systems in the U.S. and Germany and utilizes a comparative study of debates over criminal justice reform in the two systems.
