Unrechtszurechnung und der Abbruch rettender Verläufe

The concept of imputation has always been a key term in the dogmatics of criminal law, and forms the basis for Joachim Reinhold's study of the structures of offences in legal theory, in which he expresses his criticism of existing theories and models, and presents his own point of view. In doing so, he provides a framework for his theoretical outline by analyzing various types of cases in which the characteristic feature is the prevention of chances for rescue. This results in a comprehensive reflection on causality, obligation, participation and omission as fundamental concepts of criminal law. Thus the author provides the means required to comprehend the existing strategies for solving the problems dealt with in the context of the prevention of chances for rescue and to develop solutions as well.
