Justice on the Brink

In times of fear and uncertainty, "the voice of the people" calls for swift justice and harsher penalties. In reality, however, according to criminal judge Patrick Burow, the judiciary can no longer contribute to internal security. Acquitted murderers, lenient sentences, and delayed trials are indications of a crisis in the rule of law. The judiciary is at the center of current social debates. With his explosive assessment, the author points out numerous shortcomings. He writes very personally about lenient justice, blatant miscarriages of justice, and backroom deals. Clearly and distinctly, he states what needs to change so that the judiciary can contribute to internal security even in times of terror.
