TLDR
In this paper, Bruckmuller and Caenazzo show that there is a pan-European rejection of the death penalty and a European approach to prisoners' rights, and the Committee for the Prevention of Torture as a strong monitoring body and also share the idea that imprisonment must be used as ultima ratio.Abstract:
Associate authors: Karin Bruckmuller, Luciana Caenazzo, Rob Canton, Algimantas Cepas, Berit Johnsen, Sonja Snacken, George Mair, Sandra Scicluna, Luisa Ravagnani and Dirk van Zyl Smit We now have evidence that there is a specifically European approach to key aspects of punishment. There is a pan-European rejection of the death penalty a European approach to prisoners’ rights, and the Committee for the Prevention of Torture as a strong monitoring body and we also share the idea that imprisonment must be used as ultima ratio (van Zyl Smit and Snacken, 2009). What we want to know is whether this approach extends to punishment and supervi- sion enforced outside prisons — that is, to community sanctions as sentences and supervision measures before or instead of trial.read more

Using the Concept of Legal Culture
TL;DR: Nelken as mentioned in this paper used the concept of legal culture to describe relatively stable patterns of legally oriented social behaviour and attitudes, such as institutions such as the number and role of lawyers or the ways judges are appointed and controlled, to various forms of behaviour such as litigation or prison rates, and, at the other extreme, more nebulous aspects of ideas, values, aspirations and mentalities.
