Features: Due to the differences in historical traditions and legal cultures, the Civil Law System and the Common Law System have significant disparities in criminal law systems, criminal judicial practices, and criminal law theories. However, most domestic textbooks primarily interpret criminal law based on the Civil Law System, with a noticeable weakness in Common Law System content. This textbook is the first to address this shortcoming. It primarily draws on the fundamental theories of criminal law from countries with relatively advanced criminal law research, such as Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and France. Additionally, it provides an introduction to the criminal law theories and legislative systems of countries with unique research styles.
