Course Description

During the lectures, students can gain an insight into the peculiarities of the Hungarian criminal law system. The general and the special part of criminal law dogmatics are analyzed. From the general part, we examine the peculiarities of the Hungarian system in summary. We analyze the most significant delicts among the special partial facts. These include, among others, the regulation of homicide, bodily harm, and abortion, as well as terrorism. We will analyze the issue of terrorism not only from the point of view of criminal law, but also from the point of view of criminology. We summarize who, when, where, how and why acts are being committed. Female and child assassins are emphasized during the course.
