'New Possibilities for Corporate Sanctioning between Administrative Offenses and Criminal Law. Corporate sanctioning without criminal law?': The thesis explains the current proposals for reforming the law of corporate sanctions in Germany. The author argues the pros and cons of the drafts, which range from the retention of the law of administrative offenses to the introduction of a criminal penalty against companies. She favors a 'para-criminal' approach between administrative and criminal law that is tailormade for corporations to avoid the detrimental effects of a criminal penalty against companies for the entire legal system.
