Abstract

The text defends the need to separate the special and the general parts of criminal law, as well as the logical priority of the first over the second. Both, the separation between the two parts and the priority of the special part rest on arguments of a functional type. Its purpose is to clear the way for a systematization of the special part of criminal law alien to the general theory of crime.
