%T Interrogational Torture in Criminal Proceedings - Reflections on Legal History -, Vol. 1 %A Krey, Volker %A Roggenfelder, Thomas %A Klein, Jan Niklas %A Staudacher, Peter %P 44 %V 68 %D 2014 %K Verhör; Vernehmungsfolter; Zeugenfolter; Straffolter %@ 1616-8828 %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-56601-2 %X Subject of this publication is torture as an interrogational instrument in criminal proceedings from a legal history point of view. Thereby, the author makes a distinction between torturing the accused on the one hand and, on the other hand, torture as an instrument to force a witness’ incriminating testimony against third parties (in German: Zeugenfolter), torture as a means to avert dangers (lifesaving torture), torture as an additional cruelty to the accused’s punishment (in German: Straffolter), and corporal punishment for lying in court. Only the first manifestation, namely torturing the accused intending to extort his confession, is the real subject of this paper. Volume I covers the following historical periods: Code of Hammurabi; Germanic Law; Roman Law; Age of the Kingdom of the Franks; High Middle Ages. %C DEU %C Trier %G en %9 Arbeitspapier %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
