The basic course has once again been thoroughly revised and updated in the new edition; adjudication and literature have also been brought up to date. The proven manner of presentation - in which the reader is inspired to active collaboration - has been retained. The objectives of the basic course are to refer the reader to essential problems and their solution possibilities, to practice the independent debate with regard to criminal law problems, and to demonstrate methods for further engrossment.
