25 Jahre Brandstiftungsdelikte als „gemeingefährliche Straftaten".

The article in the journal for the entire criminal law science discusses the reform of arson offenses in 1998 and their development in the last 25 years. It is debated whether the reform was successful and how practice deals with norm deficits. Special attention is paid to the public danger of arson offenses, as well as the interpretation and significance of the objects of the offense. The Federal Court of Justice has not yet recognized a general possibility of reduction in cases of lack of danger, but only in specific individual cases. It is emphasized that a new legislative reform may be necessary to create a coherent and fair arson law. [Extracted from the article]
