"This book deals with consensual mechanisms in criminal proceedings analyzed comparatively. In the first place it addresses the common systemic foundations of consensual mechanisms and the observation of most up to date supranational trends in their development. In the second place, through examples of Poland, Germany and Brazil, it presents phenomenon of negotiated justice outside the common law systems. The combination of these two approaches provides a good basis for observation on the general advantages and disadvantages of negotiated justice. It also helps for balancing the optimal extensiveness of its use in the contemporary criminal proceedings"--
