Notstand und Strafe Buchkatalog

»Necessity and Punishment« The book intends to provide a theoretical foundation for the necessity defense in Criminal Law. The reasons for the exculpation in necessity depend on the concept of culpability. The author proposes to rethink the traditional approach: culpability means the possibility to avoid punishment, which is understood as the suppression of »innate« rights. These new approach leads to a new concept of necessity in Criminal Law.
