Subject: Liability for acts of others

Many American jurisdictions impose liability upon psychiatrists when a dangerous patient foreseeably injures a third party, and impose liability upon landlords or parking lot owners when their creation or fostering of dangerous conditions leads to a criminal assaulting a plaintiff. Could anyone point me to comparative work that indicates whether these sorts of actions exist in other countries? Similarly, for dram shop or social host liability.

Thanks,
