Heymanns StGB Commentary on the Criminal Code

Clearly, practice-oriented, and with scientific depth, criminal law is explained in its entirety. This work provides a quick and clear overview of the entire substantive criminal law, perfectly complementing the sister work on the Code of Criminal Procedure. The collaboration of high-ranking authors, who are rooted in both practice and literature, ensures commentary at the highest level.
