The application of diversionary measures is very frequent in Liechtenstein criminal law. Nevertheless, there has been no in-depth academic study of diversionary measures in Liechtenstein. Therefore, in daily practice, reference is made to the Austrian doctrine and literature.The research gap described above is the reason for this dissertation project, which comprehensively analyses diversionary measures in Liechtenstein law. The study also aims to determine to what extent it would be possible and reasonable to extend the applicability of diversionary measures to other cases in Liechtenstein. With regard to Liechtenstein practice, the extent to which diversionary measures can be judged as effective and whether the Government's goal of reducing procedural costs could be achieved through the introduction of diversionary measures should also be analysed. In this context, the final question is what further development and reform options are appropriate for diversionary measures in Liechtenstein.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, it is necessary to analyse Liechtenstein legislative materials, case law and papers. Furthermore, the project will be based on comparative legal work and empirical research.
