Review Quotes:
"...helpful for German lawyers looking for translations of German terms and definitions." --Manuel Ladiges, Criminal Law Forum, Volume 22
"The translation of the German Criminal Code that Bohlander has delivered is accessible (perhaps even more so than the German original) and also consistent, which in itself is a remarkable achievement...Together with his Principles of German Criminal Law Bohlander's translation will greatly enrich the legal discussion. They make a wealth of materials accessible to the non-German-speaking world...The German Criminal Code...cannot be recommended highly enough." --Jens M. Scherpe, 4 Criminal Law Review 308-309
