Criminal Law in Dialogue: Fifteen friends & colleagues on Prof. Serge Gutwirth as a criminal law academic

Prof. Serge Gutwirth is an academic who is at home in many fields. During his career at the VUB, he has written numerous articles and books on human rights and on the relationship between law and science, on criminological aspects in the work of Dostoevsky, Foucault and René Girard, on the foundations of environmental law, but also on law & technology and the commons. Serge Gutwirth has more than 300 articles on the counter. Less well known is the attention Serge Gutwirth devoted to criminal law and criminal procedure, often together with his colleague proximus Paul De Hert. This book describes this period in his career, roughly between 2000 and 2020, and compiles the articles he wrote with Paul de Hert during this period. These articles are weighed by 15 colleagues, who write a commentary on the output of these two friends. The invited colleagues respond to the pertinence of the writing at the time of publication and to the topicality of the debate then and now in Belgium and the Netherlands.
In addition to the writings of Gutwirth and De Hert, the book includes articles by: Joost Huysmans, Hans Boutellier, Sofie Royer & Frank Verbruggen, Maarten Colette, Bas van Stokkom, Paul Mevis, Laurens Lavrysen, Stefaan Pleysier, Sébastien Van Drooghenbroeck, Pieter Tersago, Paul Ponsaers, Antony Pemberton & Cheyenne Dunk and Sonja Snacken
