Now in its 13th edition, the Leipzig Commentary continues to set the standard for substantive criminal law scholarship. In 20 volumes, the high-calibre team of authors examines the Criminal Code and the German Criminal Code in all its facets and with remarkable depth, leaving no question unanswered. If you are looking for comprehensive information and groundbreaking commentaries, you will find it here.

From the history of origins to reform issues, from comparative law to explanations of related areas of law such as criminology and including international criminal law, the user will find a comprehensive presentation and scholarly treatment of the entire subject matter. It fully reflects the current state of knowledge in case law and literature and shows ways of resolving even controversial legal issues. The commentary thus offers help in solving even remote problems that other works hardly consider.

Volume 11 comments on the provisions of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Sections of the Special Part of the German Criminal Code (&sect, 211 to &sect, 231 StGB), which deal with offences against life and physical integrity.
