The standard commentary on the StVollzG is primarily intended as a resource for practitioners. It also claims to engage appropriately with case law and scholarly opinions. As a result, it provides practitioners with tools and solutions even for questions that have not yet been resolved by the courts; it offers important insights to legal science. The editors and contributors have extensive experience in criminal enforcement as practitioners, criminal policymakers, or scholars. The newly revised 7th edition brings the commentary up to date with the latest developments in legislation, case law, and literature, making it a proven and reliable working tool for practical issues in criminal enforcement. The regulations in the 16 different state laws are summarized by thematic and regulatory areas.
