Der Straftatbestand des Sportwettbetruges gemäß § 265c StGB

Due to the ongoing criminal policy discourse on both the legitimacy of the criminal offence of sports betting fraud according to sec. 265c of the Criminal Code and the - possibly purely symbolic - actionism of the criminal legislator in general, this book critically examines the criminal offence of sports betting fraud. It examines whether it represents legitimate action by the criminal legislature or whether it should ultimately be classified as purely symbolic criminal law, as critics claim. The yardstick is the explanatory memorandum of the federal government's bill and thus the legislative objectives. The legislature is thus ultimately measured against the goals it has set for itself.
