Abstract
Over the last two years, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court, the Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVG), and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) have handed down several decisions on the legality of the German practice of detaining serious criminal offenders for preventive purposes after their original prison sentence had expired. Preventive detention, so-called Sicherungsverwahrung, has been part of German criminal law for over 80 years.
