In Ottawa, in April 1986, Albin Eser at a meeting with
members of the Criminal Law Review Section, Department of Justice
Canada gave us a copy of his paper "General
Structure of the Crime". SORRY BUT THE COPY IS NOT THE BEST.
Fortunately for English readers, a few years later Dr. Eser
published in English his "Scheme of the General Structure of the Offense"
with comments in
his article: "Die
Unterscheidung von Rechtfertigung und Entschuldigung:
Ein Schlüsselproblem des Verbrechensbegriffs"
in Raimo Lahti and Kimmo Nuotio, eds., CriminalLaw
Theory in Transition: Finnish and Comparative
Perspectives/Strafrechtstheorie
