»The Prohibition of Merging Constituent Elements of an Offence (Verschleifungsverbot): Assessment and Definition of a Constitutional Interdiction of Interpretation« The publication provides a comprehensive analysis of the prohibition of merging constituent elements of an offence (Verschleifungsverbot) in terms of legal methodology and constitutional law. It focusses, on the one hand, on localising this prohibition in the context of constitutional guarantees and, on the other hand, on an analysis of the prohibited form of interpretation in the light of legal methodology. Finally, it examines the circumstances which promote such a prohibited interpretation.
