Criminal Law (StGB - Strafgesetzbuch)

Criminal Law (StGB) defines behaviors that are considered offenses against society, outlining what actions are illegal and the penalties for committing them. It includes crimes like theft, assault, and fraud, setting the standards for legal conduct and ensuring justice. The law also specifies how offenders are prosecuted and punished, aiming to protect individuals and maintain public order. In Germany, the Strafgesetzbuch (StGB) serves as the comprehensive legal code that regulates criminal offenses and their consequences, balancing societal safety with individual rights.
