German substantive criminal law has been influential in many civil
law countries, most notably in the Hispanic world. In the common
law countries, not surprisingly because of the systemic differences
in approach, its impact has been much less, if not negligible. This
may be largely explained as a result of the language barrier. An
up-to-date and reliable English translation of the German Criminal
Code has been conspicuously missing for some time. This book
presents a new English translation of the Strafgesetzbuch, (the
Criminal Code), in its most recent amended form of August 2007. The
Code is the centrepiece of German substantive criminal law and
informs the interpretation and application of any other criminal
provisions which can be found in specific legislation. The
translation thus affords an opportunity to profit from a legal
tradition that has had a major influence over history and has a
rich experience of doctrinal analysis. The translation adheres as
closely as possible to the textual structure of the original, but
has been made palatable to an English ear. It is intended as a
companion to the author's Principles of German Criminal Law which
was published in December 2008. Please click on the link below for
