Hungarian Criminal Law – Special Part / Nagy Zoltn – Dr. Tth Mihly (Osiris 2014) /HardcoverUPC:[Please provide if available]MPN:ISBN 9789632761923 / 978-9632761923Brand Name:Osiris Kiad (Osiris Publishing)OverviewThis comprehensive 2014 legal textbook presents an in-depth analysis of the Special Part of Hungary’s fourth Criminal Code (Bntet trvnyknyv), which entered into force on July 1, 2013. Written by Dr. Nagy Zoltn and Dr. Tth Mihly, younger faculty members from the distinguished Criminal Law Department at the University of Pcs, this 609-page volume represents the first modern textbook addressing Hungary’s completely reformed criminal law system. The authors had the advantage of studying both the legislative drafts and the initial months of practical application before creating this systematically organized, student-focused educational resource that maintains rigorous academic standards while remaining accessible to law students. The book provides thorough analysis of new and substantially revised criminal offenses introduced by the 2013 Criminal Code, presenting them in a clear, logically structured framework that facilitates comprehension of complex legal concepts. This work marks a generational transition in Hungarian criminal law pedagogy, succeeding the highly successful but now outdated Erdsy-Fldvri-Tth textbook series that dominated legal education for several decades. Published by Osiris Kiad in Budapest, this textbook adopts a contemporary perspective that extends beyond traditional criminal law analysis to incorporate interdisciplinary insights from criminology, criminal procedure, and legal theory. The 609-page hardcover serves both as an essential study aid for law students preparing for examinations and as a practical reference for legal professionals adapting to Hungary’s modernized criminal justice framework, reflecting the significant legal reforms that brought Hungarian criminal law into alignment with 21st-century European standards.Product FeaturesFormat:Hardcover legal textbookPublication Year:2014Publisher:Osiris Kiad (Osiris Publishing)Publication Place:Budapest, HungaryISBN:9789632761923 / 978-9632761923Pages:609 pagesLanguage:Hungarian (Magyar)Authors:Nagy Zoltn, Dr. Tth MihlyInstitution:University of Pcs (Pcsi Tudomnyegyetem), Criminal Law DepartmentSubject Matter:Hungarian Criminal Law – Special Part (Klns rsz)Legal Framework:Hungary’s 2013 Criminal Code (Fourth Bntet trvnyknyv)Effective Date of Law:July 1, 2013Structure:Thematic organization aligned with student learning needsPedagogical Approach:Clear, logically structured, academically rigorous yet accessibleSpecial Focus:Detailed analysis of new and substantially revised criminal offensesPredecessor Works:Succeeds the Erdsy-Fldvri-Tth textbook seriesAcademic Level:University legal education (law faculty students)Target Audience:Law students, legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneysDisciplinary Scope:Criminal law with interdisciplinary perspectivesContemporary Relevance:First comprehensive textbook on Hungary’s current Criminal CodeInteresting FactsThis textbook represents a watershed moment in Hungarian legal education, marking the transition from one generation of criminal law scholarship to the next. For several decades, the Erdsy-Fldvri-Tth textbook series dominated criminal law education in Hungarian universities, becoming the standard reference that generations of lawyers, judges, and prosecutors studied during their university training. However, the comprehensive reform of Hungarian criminal law culminating in the 2013 Criminal Code made these respected works obsolete, creating an urgent need for new educational materials addressing the fundamentally restructured legal framework.Hungary’s 2013 Criminal Code (officially Act C of 2012 on the Criminal Code, but commonly referenced by its 2013 effective date) represents the country’s fourth comprehensive criminal code since the modern Hungarian state emerged. Previous criminal codes were enacted in 1878 (during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy), 1961 (during the Communist era), and 1978 (late Communist period, which remained in effect with extensive amendments until 2013). The 2013 reform responded to multiple pressures: the need to harmonize Hungarian criminal law with European Union standards, the recognition that decades of piecemeal amendments had created an incoherent legal framework, and the constitutional requirement following Hungary’s 2011 Fundamental Law (new constitu
