The textbook founded by Volker Krey and continued by Manfred Heinrich is a systematically inductive presentation of criminal procedural law, meaning it is systematically structured but largely based on cases and examples. It is well-suited as a thorough teaching resource in a single volume for study and legal clerkship; it also serves the criminal procedural practitioner well for review and deepening of knowledge. The textbook, which was originally published in two volumes in the first edition, has been consolidated into one volume in the second edition.
