LEGAL NATURE OF COMPLICITY IN CRIME IN THE CRIMINAL LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PDF
115-124
ABSTRACT

Comparative criminal law is a stage in the development of national criminal  law. In view of the fact that national legislations are very different and changing, it is very  important and necessary to consider legal problematics from their comparative and legal  perspective. Modern integration processes and the deepening of mutual cooperation with  foreign academic centres make it relevant to learn about the legislation of different legal  systems, especially in the areas of relations between states, such as criminal liability and  punishment. A significant part of this article is dedicated to comparative and systematic  methods. The provisions adopted in the common law system are compared with a respective  legal position of continental Europe from the perspective of a comparative and legal approach.  Based on that, a respective conclusion is suggested taking into consideration achievements  in academic research, legislation and practice.
