»Suspicion of Bias: Stereotypes and the Establishment of Initial Suspicion Under German Criminal Procedure Law« This study discusses the biased use of enforcement discretion in the context of »initial suspicion« under German criminal procedure law. It addresses the particular importance as well as the prerequisites of the standard and considers if the threshold allows for a (factual) establishment of suspicion based on stereotypes. Also, the book provides a systematic analysis of pertinent criminological field studies and case law. The last section includes a synopsis and a reform agenda.
