On 17 August 2013, a family of five lost its father in a tragic boating accident in
Venice, Italy—and the world of criminal justice lost one of its brightest stars,
Joachim Vogel. As a professor at the University of Munich and as a judge at the
Oberlandesgericht Munich, he built bridges between academia and the judiciary; as
an inspiring mentor and enthusiastic academic teacher, he bridged the gap between
legal systems and between generations. Without him and without his dedication to
regulatory aspects of corporate criminal justice, this book would never be.
