TAILIEUCHUNG - HOMICIDE LAW IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

THIS VOLUME EMERGES from the work that was done by the contributors towards the writing of the Law Commission’s final report on the law of homicide in England and Wales, Murder, Manslaughter and Infanticide. 1 A number of jurisdictions world-wide have been reviewing or revising their homicide laws, and each has engaged in comparative analysis. An important new contribution to this process can be made by compiling a detailed scholarly analysis of the law in a range of jurisdictions (both recently reformed and unreformed). In addition, Chapter 2 provides an overview of how the Law Commission for England and Wales justified its conclusions as to how the law. | Homicide Law in Comparative Perspective Edited by Jeremy Horder HOMICIDE LAW IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE A number of jurisdictions world-wide have changed or are considering changing their homicide laws. Important changes have now been recommended for England and Wales and these changes are an important focus in the book which brings together leading experts from jurisdictions across the globe England and Wales France Germany Scotland Australia The United States of America Canada Singapore and Malaysia to examine key aspects of the law of homicide. Key areas examined include the structure of the law of homicide and the meaning of fault elements. For example the definition of murder or its equivalent is very different in France and Germany from the definition used in England and Wales. French law like the law in a number of American states ties the definition of murder to the presence or absence of premeditation unlike the law in England and Wales. Unlike most other jurisdictions German law makes the killer s motive such as a sadistic sexual motive relevant to whether or not he or she committed the worst kind of homicide. England and Wales is in a minority of English-speaking jurisdictions in that it does not employ the concept of wicked recklessness or of extreme indifference as a fault element in homicide. Understanding these often subtle differences between the approaches of different jurisdictions to the definition of homicide is an essential aspect of the law reform process and of legal study and scholarship in the criminal law. Every jurisdiction tries to learn from the experience of others and this book seeks to make a contribution to that process as well as providing a lively and informative resource for scholars and students.
