Neue Kriminalpolitik brings together all disciplines in criminal law – it is the forum for criminal science, law and practice. The journal sees its priority in setting new standards and in providing a forum for interdisciplinary discussions which, including the knowledge from different countries, pursue the following targets: rational approach towards crime, the protection of the fundamental rights, the priority of social self-regulation and conflict solving while reducing state involvement. The journal addresses criminologists, sociologists, lawyers, teachers, forensic psychiatrists and psychologists working in various kinds of fields such as politics and science.
