Anti-discrimination law as a field of law encompasses various levels and areas of law: Anti-discrimination law regulations can be found in international law, European law and national law; dealing with discrimination is a topic of public law, civil law as well as criminal law. This handbook brings together the current state of legal research in Germany. It elaborates the basic structures of anti-discrimination law and analyzes the central dogmatic figures and underlying concepts. It examines the main categories of discrimination as well as the particularities of dealing with discrimination in specific social contexts.
