Germany Codifies Lynch Law

Lengyel, Emil | September 4, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

The article analyses the influence of the German criminal law on the social and political situations there. The inconsistency of protecting the defendants in criminal trials with constitutional safeguards while exposing the rest of Germany to unmitigated tyranny was clearly seen in the system of law. The revolution in German law is accomplished by making the judges entirely subservient to Nazi ideology and by freeing them from the trammels of objective application of the law. The author also focuses on some amendments made in the criminal laws according to Nazi doctrine.
