Features: Franz von Liszt (1851–1919) was an academic master who combined the study of criminology and criminal law and achieved remarkable results. He was both an outstanding representative of the criminal sociological school and the founder of the modern school (new school) of criminal law. His fundamental academic thoughts and theoretical viewpoints still have an important influence on contemporary criminal law and criminal theory. Criminal Law Textbook is one of Liszt's most important representative works. It was first published in 1881 and has been translated into French, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Greek, Serbian, and other languages. It has been widely circulated internationally and has had a significant impact. China has never translated or published Liszt's works, making it difficult for many scholars who do not understand German to directly understand the thoughts and viewpoints of this criminal law giant, which is a great regret for the Chinese criminal law community. It is hoped that the publication of this translation can partially make up for this deficiency. Given the progress in criminal legislation and the scientific field after Liszt's death, to keep the textbook in step with the development of criminal law and criminal science, Dr. Schmidt thoroughly revised each chapter of the Criminal Law Textbook when publishing the 25th edition in 1927, with major revisions to some chapters. The 26th edition was revised again. However, the basic structure was not modified, and Liszt's fundamental ideas on crime and criminal law, as well as his unique criminal policy tendencies, were retained intact. For readers who wish to understand Liszt's own thoughts and viewpoints, this would be sufficient if not overly demanding.
