The harm caused by criminal conduct is one of the most important aggravating factors in German sentencing law. Which factors influence the wrongfulness and culpability of a crime is still highly controversial. How far can sentencing go with remote harms and what criteria constitute a fair objective and subjective imputation? In the first comprehensive German monograph on the issue, Thomas Grosse-Wilde develops his own theory of fair imputation of harm at sentencing.
